Looking forward to seeing the rtings data when its available but these guys have tested the APP3 against the latest Bose Ultra gen2 earbuds and found the APP3 slightly more effective:

Why the different conclusions on Apple AirPods Pro 3 vs Bose QC Ultra earbuds 2nd gen?
I’ve taken some heat for my judgment call on the Apple AirPods Pro 3 and the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2, concluding that the Bose had better Active Noise Cancellation and Sound Quality https://www.techlicious.com/guide/apple-airpods-pro-3-vs-bose-quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-2nd-gen/#google_vignette How

Airplane Headphone Recommendations!
I upgraded to Bose QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen for Apple Airpods. They work well, and I hope to add a Bluetooth transmitter with a 3.5mm audio jack so I can use them with airplane entertainment systems.

finally got them after so long
As somebody who uses the Nothing Ear 3: Those are not the best headphones or even earbuds on the market and I very much doubt that the Buds Pro 2 are better. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen are way, way better earbuds.

bose quietcomfort ultra earbuds 2nd gen min volume is way too loud
When paired with an iPhone, if I mute the volume, I can still hear sound. The minimum volume is around 55–65 dBA, which is way tooooo loud there is no in between. The buds are unusable with a iphone without losing my hearing. I can't find a fix and i think i try everthing.

QC Ultra Earbuds 2gen vs Airpods Pro 3 - ear tips fit and comfort
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 1st Gen (not Ultra) here: the ANC is still slightly better with Bose compared with APP 3. Plus there is less hissing (nearly none) with Bose. Comfort-wise it is a perfect tie (at least with my ears). Sound quality: the Bose earbuds seem to sound a bit more musical, they are

Which earbuds have the best Noise Cancelling? (Airpods Pro 2, WF-1000XM5 or QC Ultra earbuds)?
I started wearing earbuds on noisy trains and tested AirPods Pro 2, WF1000XM5 and QC Ultra. For pure noise cancelling the WF1000XM5 impressed me most, QC Ultra is close and AirPods shine for ecosystem features. Sound wise Sony is balanced, Bose is warm and Apple is clear. I prefer the Sony fit and s

Why this awful default sound setting? (QC Ultra Earbuds 2nd Gen)
I'm a huge fan of the QC Ultra headphones (over Ear). The sound quality via aptX Lossless in the default setting without any EQ settings is brilliant.
Armed with this knowledge, I blindly bought the QC Ultra earbuds (gen1) and was hugely disappointed.
The default setting is terrible. The treble

Any recommendations similar to the Bose QC Ultra (2nd Gen)?
I don’t think you can beat the QC Ultra earbuds and Bose Music App. I find both are rock solid.
