I’ve found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I’m leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first.

I live in a very noisy environment and need earphones for my sleep, when I work or relax, and for listening to podcasts as well as a bit of music. And since sleep is most important for me, I have in-ear comfort as the top priority.

    For what it’s worth, I’ve had both. When my Bose were stolen last year, I switched to Sony. The Sony sound great, but don’t work nearly as well. Between multiple devices I fairly constantly need to disable Bluetooth on my iPad so they work on my phone. Or vice versa. The Bose just always worked how I wanted them to.

    I’d go Bose again all day.

      If you put the headphones in pairing mode, you can just re-pair with the phone without having to touch the iPad.
