These Bose headphones took my favorite AirPods Max battery feature - and did it even better
"Most premium headphones feature gyroscopes or motion detection systems that enable their wear detection capabilities. Wear detection pauses audio content when the headphones detect that you've removed them from your head, and resumes content when you put them back on. Apple's AirPods Max and Bose's QC Ultra 2 perform this feature best by pausing content when you remove the headphones and disconnecting them from your phone's Bluetooth."
"However, Bose's QC Ultra 2 enter a low-power state faster than Apple's AirPods Max, and you don't need to put them in a case to achieve it. Simply lay the QC Ultra 2 flat -- earcups face-up or face-down -- and they'll begin conserving battery. Conversely, the AirPods Max have Find My compatibility, which requires the headphones to remain on to find their real-time location."
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) offer a 30-hour battery capacity alongside improved power efficiency via a low-power auto-standby feature. Wear detection pauses audio and disconnects Bluetooth to enable seamless switching of audio back to a phone. The QC Ultra 2 enter low-power faster than AirPods Max and can activate power conservation simply by laying the headphones flat, without requiring a case. AirPods Max retain Find My compatibility, which necessitates remaining on to provide real-time location. Bose continues to deliver best-in-class noise cancellation and comfort while addressing prior battery and power-management weaknesses.
