IP ratings refer to the level of protection given by a casing, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value of the IP rating means protection against solids say dust, followed by the one that refers to resistance against liquids (sweat).
Having a value of IPX5, the 1More Aero's rating for solids indicates that no data available to specify a protection rating, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres.
In comparison to the 1More Aero, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
we are not yet certain of their rating with solids (dust)
and that of liquids is that,
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II has a lower liquid rating than 1More Aero
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a weight of 12.5g . We take in account a lower weight best because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
True wireless devices have no wires linking any part of the device together, 1More Aero are true wireless for this case since they don't have cables. This is a major difference as some wireless earbuds have wires linking the 2 earbuds together.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II also is true wireless because it doesn't have cables connecting the two earbuds .
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II come with wingtips, these are reserved for earbuds for workouts and are usually an optional add-on to the separate silicone ear tip for a better fit.
1More Aero are resistant to sweat
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's resistance to sweat makes both devices ideal for use during long-distance running, marathons, training in workout bodysuits, etc
1More Aero have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II and 1More Aero have stereo speakers
ANC makes use of more advanced technology to reduce ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (inverted noise) to make 0 which results in a reduced level of noise.
The 1More Aero have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background noise.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II too have Active Noise Cancellation which makes both earbuds ideal for plane rides and rush hour travels. The 1More Aero and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that suits your travel or that suites your chill time.

Both Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, and 1More Aero have passive noise reduction this means that they tone down ambient noise instead of actively using ANC to cancel it out.
The 1More Aero driver unit is 10mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, and can produce better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, its size determines the sound produced by the earbuds.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II driver unit is 9.3mm in diameter,
which implies that they have a smaller driver unit than that of 1More Aero by 0.7mm
, a common assumption that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty producing high frequencies so yes, larger drivers are capable of generating louder sound, but this does not imply that they deliver better quality sound.
The 1More Aero's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal while at it.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this means that
both devices make sound with equal bass
1More Aero's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well an audio device makes high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's highest frequency is at 20000Hz, this implies that
both devices can generate equal treble
1More Aero's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average before recharge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's battery life is
less than that of 1More Aero by 1 hours
. Every time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over time, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and 1More Aero's case has a full charge of 21 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before recharging the case itself.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II's charging case has a battery life of 18 hours,
less than that of 1More Aero by 3 hours

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II has a Bluetooth version of 5.3,
newer than that of 1More Aero
. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The 1More Aero have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have a maximum range of 10meters,
equal to that of the 1More Aero
1More Aero support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Since its the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the 1More Aero will work well with your iPad. If you are planning on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
1More Aero have 6 microphones.
While the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II microphones are 8,
more than that of 1More Aero by 2
