Quiet Where It Counts

Since last the last generation, QC improves its noise-cancelling chops with Bose’s new ActiveSense algorithm, which reacts more intelligently to sudden noise changes like passing traffic or office clatter.

Aware Mode now lets ambient sounds through in a more realistic way without the abrupt transitions of earlier versions, providing a more natural listening experience when you need situational awareness.

Plush Earcups and Lighter Clamp for All-Day Wear

The QuietComfort Ultra 2 stays true to its name with a lighter clamp force, generously padded earcups, and a headband that spreads weight evenly.

The cushions are softer than before and designed to seal gently without overheating, making the headphones comfortable for glasses wearers and long travel days alike.

Up to 30 Hours of Quiet Listening on a Single Charge

Bose rates the QuietComfort Ultra 2 for around 30 hours of playback with noise cancelling engaged, and stretches even further if you switch off ANC.

Immersive Audio mode trims that number slightly, but a quick 15-minute charge can give you a couple of hours of use, making it easy to top up before a commute or flight.

Warm, Balanced Tuning With Bigger Soundstage

Bose keeps its signature warm, inviting sound but adds more clarity in the mids and highs for the Ultra 2.

Support for wired USB-C lossless audio and aptX Adaptive means you can feed the headphones higher-quality streams.

Immersive Audio and the new Cinema Mode expand the soundstage for music, movies, and podcasts without sounding artificial.

Ultra 2 Shows How Small Upgrades Add Up

With softer earcups, lighter clamp force, and a more balanced headband, the QuietComfort Ultra 2 is built for marathon listening sessions. Its 30-hour battery life with ANC on makes it easy to go days without charging, while lossless USB-C audio, aptX Adaptive, and immersive modes like Cinema Mode elevate the classic Bose sound signature.

Together these refinements make the Ultra 2 a top-tier choice for travelers and music lovers who value both comfort and audio quality.
