What are your favourite noise-cancelling headphones?

Bose qc 45 over ear and sometimes (when my hair is wet or I want to move my head more freely) bose qc ultra earbuds! I have them in this dreamy blue color, moonstone, and named them my moonicorns. Wish I knew how to remove the logo from the qc 45 though.

QC Ultra Earbuds Alternatives?

The Sony's are comfortable. But with the latest Bose QC Ultra 2 earbuds, I don't even use the Sony's anymore. They cannot compete with the Bose sound quality (and yes, the Sony's support LDAC, but it's not all that) As far as hurting your ears, did you try the different tip and band sizes? You have

The AirPod 2 you’re referring to have excellent ANC - My Bose QC Ultra earbuds still prove better ANC than the Apple but the Apple is an excellent earbud option however I don’t use earbuds often - only in specific cases when size is a factor.. My QuietComfort Ultras over ear is truly the best way to
