Which should you buy?

Pick the Elite 10 Gen 2 if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. The biggest gaps in its favor are spatial audio, weight per bud.
Pick the MW09 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are battery — buds, battery — with case, driver size.
Both ship with comparable active noise cancellation, water resistance, multipoint, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the MW09 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
