"Bose helped write the book on noise canceling when it entered the market way back in the 1970s. Lately, the brand has been on a tear, with the goal of creating the ultimate in sonic solitude. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are Bose's latest and greatest creation, offering among the very best noise canceling we've ever tested. Just as importantly, they're currently on sale for $50 off."
"In testing, we found Sony's latest WH-1000XM6 offered a slight bump in noise canceling performance over Bose's latest, due in part to their zippy response time when attacking unwanted sounds. But both were within a hair of each other when tested across frequencies. I prefer Bose's pair for travel, due to their more cushy design that lets me listen for a full cross-country flight in luxe comfort."
Bose built an early foundation for noise-canceling technology and now offers the QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 as a top-performing option. The headphones provide industry-leading active noise cancellation and are currently $50 off, marking the lowest price outside major shopping holidays. Testing shows Sony's WH-1000XM6 slightly edges Bose in cancellation responsiveness, but both models perform similarly across frequencies. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 prioritize travel comfort with a cushy design suitable for long flights. Usability gains include quick sleep-and-wake behavior and a new built-in USB-C audio interface that improves daily listening convenience.
