How does the noise cancellation compare with the AirPods Pro or Sony WF-1000XM5?

Most reviewers put the Bose at or near the top for pure cancellation, particularly on low-frequency drone like engines. The Sonys are close and offer more features; the AirPods integrate better with Apple devices.

How long does the battery last?

About 6 hours per charge, or roughly 4 with Immersive Audio on. The case holds about three more full charges, and a 20-minute top-up gives around 2 hours.

Can I use one earbud at a time?

Yes. Either earbud plays on its own, which is handy for calls and for keeping one ear open.

Does it support multipoint pairing?

No. You pair to one device at a time and switch through the Bose Music app or your device's Bluetooth menu.

Is it good for running and workouts?

It has IPX4 sweat resistance and a secure fit, but Bose does not market it for training and the case is bulky to carry. Fine for gym use, less ideal for heavy sweat sessions.

What comes in the box?

The earbuds, charging case, a short USB-C cable, three ear tip sizes, three pairs of stability bands and documentation.
