These incredible noise-canceling earbuds are the best in the game, especially if you're out and about. With industry-leading noise-cancellation technology and amazingly balanced sound, you'll be hard-pushed to get anything better for the price. If you want a few more bells and whistles this summer, then you could opt for the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, but you'll be paying a lot more for the privilege.

Anyone who has owned a pair of Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 will know why we gave them 5 out of 5 stars in our review. The best thing about these earbuds is the active noise cancellation (ANC) which is a must have when you're on your travels. The technology is so good that it arguably surpasses what Sony and Apple currently offer. This is no surprise considering Bose practically invented ANC.

As well as great ANC, these Bose earbuds provide some of the best sound quality around. Our hands-on review loved the fact that "each bud adapts the sound to the contours of your ear canal to make what you hear beautifully balanced with very clear details and textures."

We recommend Bose earbuds across a number of our guides, including our list of best earbuds, best wireless earbuds, best noise-cancelling earbuds, and more. We also have a few versus pages that compare some of our favorite earbuds, like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds vs Sony WF-1000XM5.
