I have a set of Bose QuietComfort earbuds I wear daily for workouts. I finally killed them and in the market for something new. I’m looking for higher end name-brand earbuds which would work for my exercising needs (bicycle rides, and gym workouts). ANC is necessary (but pretty common on all the top brands/TWS earbuds these days).

I was thinking about the Bose QC2 as it would be the logical upgrade, but I’ve heard mix reviews about them and I can’t figure out if it was just a bad batch of earbuds or if it’s a poorly designed product.

I guess the Sony XM4’s would be a logical alternative but I don’t know how comfortable they are for exercising

Edit - Android user, so apple airpods aren’t an ideal option

    I did this a year ago, and ironically ended up with the Airpod Pro, now Airpod Pro 2. Not a huge apple fan, but I have a mix of devices, and found that it worked well enough on Android while being amazing on iPhone.

    Having said that, one of my prime utilities is loud environment meeting which they excel at. I enjoy them running, riding, and more, but agree that ANC is ubiquitous at this point. The ubquitious nature of Qualcomm ANC tech has made it very easy to achieve high quality results.
