"Bose is known for incredible active noise canceling, and the latest generation of QuietComfort over-ear headphones is no different. Despite only minor upgrades, our reviewer Ryan Waniata was extremely impressed with the Bose, and considers them among the top three headsets when it comes to ANC, only rivaled by Sony's WH-1000XM6 and Bose's first-generation QuietComfort Ultra. The transparency mode is truly excellent as well, for when you need to keep an ear on your surroundings,"
"Speaking of, these are still a great pair of headphones for listening to music, even if you don't need the noise-canceling. They have a sharp level of detail and crisp texture, although they benefited from a little softening in the EQ to help cut some of that extra punchiness. Of course, most headsets sound better with some silence in the background, but these won't disappoint, particularly if you like bigger, more vibrant sound."
"They now feature an automatic idle mode, so you can just put them down flat on any surface to disconnect and move to low power mode, with the headset automatically reconnecting when you put them on. They have slightly better battery life than the previous generation, too, around 30 hours with ANC on, and you can keep listening while they charge if they do run low on juice."
Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones are available from Amazon for $399 in Black and Driftwood Sand after a $50 discount. They deliver class-leading active noise cancellation comparable to Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bose's first-generation QuietComfort Ultra, with an excellent transparency mode for ambient listening and conversations. Sound is detailed and crisp, though a slight EQ softening can reduce excessive punchiness for a more balanced tone. Convenience upgrades include automatic idle mode with flat-surface sleep and auto-reconnect when worn, around 30 hours of ANC-enabled battery life, pass-through charging while listening, and lossless audio playback over USB-C.
