"I was about a minute into my commute from work when it hit me; I can't hear a damn thing. Here I am in the middle of the sidewalk near Union Square in Manhattan, surrounded by all sorts of ruckus (people, cars, loud construction), and I can't hear shitI can't hear shit, and it's awesome. And with a pair of wireless headphones that literally puts quiet in the name on your head, you should expect nothing less."
"Bose's QuietComfort Ultra Headphones have already made a name for having awesome active noise cancellation (ANC), and with the $449 QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen), nothing has changed in that regard, and if something has changed, it's for the better. If Bose's QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) are the only pair of wireless earbuds that I want on an airplane, then the QuietComfort Ultra headphones (2nd Gen) are the only wireless headphones I want to help me tune out a literal armageddon."
"While lots of wireless headphones have ANC, none in my experience have topped what Bose is putting out. As I type these words, I'm in a crowded coffee shop with people talking, music playing, baristas shouting orders, and I can barely hear a thing other than the song I'm playing at about 60% volume. On the subway? Same thing. I might as well be in a smelly library or, I don't know, a well-lit coffin tuned by Bose."
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) deliver extremely strong active noise cancellation that silences crowded sidewalks, subway rides, and noisy coffee shops. The headphones offer good sound quality and support lossless audio over USB-C. Battery life has improved compared with previous models. The $449 price positions them as premium over-ear headphones aimed at users prioritizing ANC. The included case fits awkwardly and the fit may be too snug for some users. These headphones provide an immersive, near-silent listening environment, but such intense ANC is unnecessary or unsafe in some situations like cycling or when situational awareness is required.
