I've found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I'm leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first.

I live in a very noisy environment and need earphones for my sleep, when I work or relax, and for listening to podcasts as well as a bit of music. And since sleep is most important for me, I have in-ear comfort as the top priority.

I'm using Jabra Elite 7 Active for almost everything, and I love them.

Air travel: They have decent active noise canceling
Listening to music: Good sound quality
Showering: They're waterproof (I've even worn them while in the pool, swimming. Still works great, but bluetooth signal doesn't work very well under water.
Sleeping: If I leave one in the charging case, the other one automatically switches to mono.
Working: Works great as a handsfree headset for phone, teams, or any of the other VoIP methods in use
Driving: Simple controls to allow for volume, call control, next track, previous track.

I've had them for a little over a year, and despite using them in several ways not covered by warranty, they're still working great. Good battery life, and no issues. I take care to clean them (and the case) regularly, making sure that there's no gunk to block the charging contacts or the microphone.
