The QC Ultra 2's defining theme is that it doesn't attempt to rewrite Bose's legacy but rather tidies it up. They look identical to the first generation, except for the yokes, which swap a matte aluminum finish for shiny polished metal. 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.
There's nothing worse than hitting the trail with hiking shoes that don't fit properly. Rubbing turns into hotspots, and before you know it, you're doctoring painful blisters instead of soaking in the fall foliage. After working as an outdoor gear outfitter for years, I know how difficult it can be for folks with wide feet to find comfy shoes among a sea of narrow boots. I've heard the horror stories, and I'm here to help.
