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.
Bose has officially unveiled the second generation of its QuietComfort Ultra wireless headphones, as the latest addition to its popular noise-cancelling lineup. While retaining the series' renowned sound quality and industry-leading ANC, the new version also adds audio over USB-C, which was notably missing on the previous generation. They also retain the 2.5mm headphone jack and come with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable in the box.
