BOSE QUIETCOMFORT EARBUDS
IN-EARS OF THE YEAR
Bose knows what it’s doing when it comes to ridding your music of undesirable background racket, and its QuietComfort over-ear headphones are the gold standard in active noise-cancelling. But now it’s put its name on a pair of wireless earbuds with ANC… and, well, they’re not messing about. The noise-killing is astoundingly impressive for in-ears, and they sound brilliant too. It’s a shame the charging case is positively hippo-sized – but we’ve tested enough true wireless buds to fill a socially distanced ball-pool this year, and a chunky charger isn’t going to hold Bose back here. Just find a bigger pocket for it. £250 / bose.co.uk
