QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a strong choice for anyone who wants to fully immerse themselves in music during their commute or daily routine. In our comparison tests, their performance stood out across several key areas.Noise-Canceling Performance: Their noise canceling ranked among the best in our test group. In environments with train noise and loud conversations, they reduced surrounding sounds evenly by about 20 to 28dB.Even in busy settings, outside noise becomes far less distracting. There’s also an aware mode that lets you hear ambient sounds while listening to music, making them practical for commuting or office use.Sound Quality: Sound tuning stays true to Bose’s signature style. The bass is powerful, with depth and punch, giving tracks a strong foundation. Mids and highs remain clear and well-balanced without getting buried.Compared with some models that had a narrower soundstage, these earbuds create a more spacious, enveloping listening experience. They’re especially well-suited for energetic genres like rock and hip-hop.Immersive Audio and Personalization: The Immersive Audio feature, powered by spatial audio technology, is high-quality. In actual use, it expands the sound and enhances realism.Unlike most competing models we tested, these earbuds support personalization features. You can easily adjust the sound to match your preferences. Both adjustable and preset EQ options are available, allowing flexible sound tuning for different genres.Features and Ease of Use: They include nearly all the convenient features you’d expect from premium true wireless earbuds.Wear detectionMultipoint connectivityPairing assistTouch controlsWith an IPX4 water resistance rating, light rain or sweat won’t be a major concern. Microphone performance is also strong, clearly picking up your voice while reducing background noise during calls.Battery Life: Battery life is decent but not class-leading. You get up to 6 hours of playback on the earbuds alone and up to 24 hours with the charging case.If you prefer earbuds that can last significantly longer without charging, you may want to consider other options.Price and Overall Value: At around ₱19,500, they fall into the premium price range. The high sound quality and feature set justify the cost, and they perform well in various environments.Recommended For:Those who enjoy Bose’s bass-forward sound signatureCommuters or office workers who want strong noise cancelingUsers who want flexible features, including ambient sound modeNot Recommended For:Those who prioritize very long battery life without frequent charging

Wireless Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones

The Sony WH-CH720N is a solid choice for people who want to listen to music all day with headphones on. In our testing, it weighed just 186 g. Among the over-ear models we compared, this was one of the lightest, making it less tiring to wear for long periods. The ear pads are 1.9 cm deep, which helps reduce pressure on the ears, and the headband has a wide adjustment range of up to 61 cm, so it can comfortably fit different head sizes.Ease of use is another strong point. All basic controls are handled via physical buttons on the headphones, and you can switch between noise canceling and ambient sound mode with a single press. It supports multipoint connections, allowing you to connect to two devices simultaneously. Battery life is also impressive, with up to 50 hours of continuous playback, so frequent charging isn’t necessary. There’s also a quick-charge feature that delivers about 1 hour of use from just 3 minutes of charging.The sound quality delivers strong, clear low- to mid-range tones. While some competing models we tested made mid-range sounds harder to hear, this one maintained good presence from bass to treble. It may lack a strong sense of live, immersive sound, but overall clarity is more than adequate. You also get an equalizer and personalization features for sound customization.Noise canceling is not as powerful as top-tier models, but it effectively reduces everyday noises such as voices and bells. Claims that it “doesn’t work well” can largely be ignored. The microphone performs well, clearly picking up both male and female voices. However, background noise reduction is limited, so it’s not ideal for calls in noisy environments.Priced at around ₱5,499 to ₱7,999, it offers good value for its lightweight comfort and long battery life. It’s well-suited for all-day use at home. That said, if you prioritize high-end sound quality or frequently use the microphone while out and about, it’s worth checking other options as well.Recommended For:People who spend long hours listening to musicNot Recommended For:People who prioritize premium sound qualityPeople who often use the microphone while outdoors
