Highly enjoy these earbuds. I did recently purchase the AirPods Pro 3’s mainly for gym workouts and the talk to transparency mode. I love the Ultra Quiet comfort Gen 2’s for home use (even though they would be great for the gym too). They lay flat in the ear so if you fall asleep on your pillow it won’t bother your ear at all. The sound quality edges out the airpod pro 3’s with better bass and more natural sounds. They are super comfortable in the ears, more than the air pod pro 3’s! They hold into your ear during intense workouts better too. They look great too. I have the desert gold and they look dope. Not too blingy at all. More of a subtle dark gold color with matte black background. The case has gold specks in it which I thought was a nice touch. The immersion mode is just like apples. The ANC is great and hard to say it’s better or worse than the Air Pod Pro 3’s too. If Bose has an update for the ultra quiet gen 2’s that give it talk to transparency mode, then I’ll say the Bose will edge out the air pod pro 3’s marginally in all categories.

These earbuds are really good, the noise canceling and sound levels are far better than what I had initially expected. They are also a comfortable fit.
