Which has better noise cancellation?

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones II. Its QuietControl ANC with ActiveSense is Bose's flagship system, while the Soundcore uses Adaptive ANC 3.0, which is good but a step behind.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

The Soundcore Space One Pro. It runs 60 hours with ANC off and 40 with ANC on, against 24 hours for the Bose.

Is the Bose worth $39 more?

Yes if noise cancellation and lighter weight matter most. No if you want maximum battery life and a lower price, where the Soundcore wins clearly.

Which is better for long flights?

The Bose, for its lighter weight and stronger ANC. The Soundcore is the better pick if you would rather not charge mid-trip.

Which folds smaller for travel?

The Soundcore Space One Pro. Its FlexiCurve design cuts size by about 50%; the Bose does not claim a compact fold.

Do either support Hi-Res audio?

The Soundcore does, through LDAC. The Bose listing shows Bluetooth 5.1 but no LDAC or Hi-Res codec.
