I really enjoyed the sound quality of my Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, but the Google Pixel Buds Pro were priced almost $100 lower. My final decision came down to two options: The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II and the Google Pixel Buds Pro. As an Android phone owner, I ruled out the top-rated Apple AirPods Pro. To make my decision, I reviewed CBS Essentials' own list of the best headphones of 2023, and then reviewed all the deals available. My budget was $200, but I was hoping to spend less. Having recently run my favorite pair of gym headphones (the first-generation Bose QuietComfort Earbuds) though the washer and dryer, I was primed (pun intended) to buy a pair. There were a lot of October Prime Day deals on headphones and earbuds this year. Here's what happened - and why I wound up buying a pair of Bose earbuds as a replacement. After using them for a solid week, I made the decision to return them to Amazon in favor of a different pair. Last week, I bought a pair of Google Pixel Buds Pro earbuds.
