"The QC Ultra 2's defining theme is that they don't attempt to rewrite Bose's legacy; rather, they refine it. They look identical to the first generation, except for the yokes, which swap a matte aluminum finish for a shiny, polished metal finish. The QC Ultra 2's earcups are slightly shallower than those of their predecessor, which can cause fit issues for people with larger heads and ears."
"More significant upgrades lie in the smaller details, including USB-C audio support, available at up to 16-bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz. Thus, the QC Ultra 2 are better suited for gaming or more faithful listening than the first generation. Unlike the Sonos Ace and Apple AirPods Max, the QC Ultra 2 retain their 3.5mm headphone jack, which is great news for frequent flyers."
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Gen 2) refine the previous model with subtle design changes and focused feature updates. The yokes feature a polished metal finish and the earcups are slightly shallower, which may affect fit for larger heads and ears. Major components like speaker drivers and noise cancellation remain largely unchanged. Key enhancements include USB-C audio support up to 16-bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz, improved suitability for gaming and faithful listening, and retention of a 3.5mm headphone jack favored by travelers. The headphones aim to compete through incremental improvements rather than wholesale redesign.
