"For best ANC and battery, go with Sony WF-1000XM5 or Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II both crush it on noise canceling and work great with Android."
"Bose QC are the best I've used. When we had our roof replaced I popped them in and couldn't hear them working directly above my head."
"Bose QC Ultra is the best. Just get the 2nd best if you want 2 extra battery hours with the Sony XM5 earbuds."
"I'm pretty sure the Bose QC Ultra is known as the best ANC earbud."
"The best ANC is made by Bose, but their flagship earbuds (QuietComfort Ultra) are around $300."
