Bose
Rated at the top for how much noise you feel disappear. Fit is dialed in with tips and stability bands, and the asking price sits above the rest of the segment.
The gap shows up in low-frequency environments — subway cars, aircraft cabins, an office near an HVAC return. Bose went with aptX Adaptive rather than LDAC, so the codec upside lands on Snapdragon Sound Android phones and nowhere else.
