Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)

Why it's our Endgame pick

• What Hi-Fi gave it five stars and its premium noise-cancelling earbuds spot, finding the ANC class-leading and comfort far beyond most rivals.
• SoundGuys measured an 85% cut in outside loudness, among the best of any earbuds it has tested.
• Works fully with Android and iPhone, connects to two devices, adds aptX Adaptive on compatible phones and charges wirelessly; ₹22,900 matches Bose's India store.

Watch out: Battery is short: SoundGuys measured 5 hours 34 minutes with ANC on, and the buds are bulky for small ears.
