    The comparison I want to see is how they compare (fare) under a motorcycle helmet at 70mph. I get that it's not something the vast majority will care about, but it would be a major deciding factor for me.
    But other than that, good comparison with an interesting result...
    That would be a good stress test. I don't ride a motorcycle, which I've learned from friends is a quick way to lose your hearing, helmet or not, but I have sat on a window seat closest to the turboprop engine on a commuter plane several times and I am always amazed by how well the Bose QC20 performs in those situations. I hate the dongle on the QC20 (especially when used with a lightning adapter) but it's ANC is very impressive considering the QC20s are not in-canal headphones. If Apple's or Bose's wireless buds can perform as well as the QC20 wired buds I'll definitely be in shopping mode.
    Have both AirPods Pro and Bose QC20i -- the AirPods Pro ANC is noticeably worse than the QC20i. Bose QuietComfort Earbuds is the one you want, assuming 6 hours + 12 hours in case is good enough for you. QC20i with 16 hour battery life is better for intercontinental flights as no recharging is needed.
