Is the 2nd Gen worth it over the original QuietComfort Ultra?

The 2nd Gen refines the same formula: hybrid ANC, Immersive Audio and CustomTune, now with Bluetooth 5.4 and Cinema Mode. If you already own the first generation, the upgrade is modest; first-time buyers get the current version of Bose's flagship.

How long does the battery last with Immersive Audio on?

Bose rates it at up to 30 hours with Immersive Audio off and about 23 hours with it on. Cinema Mode and higher volume will pull it down further.

Can I use them wired?

Yes. A 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable is included, and USB-C audio mode supports lossless playback from a compatible source. Noise canceling works in wired mode too.

Do they connect to two devices at once?

Yes, Bluetooth 5.4 multipoint lets you pair a phone and a laptop and switch between them. You can manage paired devices in the Bose app.

The headphones, a carry case, a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable, a 39-inch USB-C to USB-C cable and a safety sheet.

What listening modes do they have?

Quiet, Aware, Immersive Audio and Cinema modes. Quiet blocks noise, Aware lets it in, Immersive Audio spatializes sound and Cinema Mode lifts dialogue for video.

What reviewers say

Owners of the QuietComfort Ultra line consistently rate the noise canceling and comfort among the best in over-ear headphones. Spatial audio draws split opinions: some love the wider stage, others find it artificial and a battery drain. The second generation is seen as a refinement rather than a reinvention.

What people mention

Noise cancelingPraisedOwners say it silences engine drone and open-office chatter better than most rivals.
ComfortPraisedLong-wear sessions are reported as easy thanks to soft cushions and low clamp.
Spatial audioMixedSome enjoy the wider stage; others find Immersive Audio artificial and tiring on music.
Battery lifeMixedThe 30-hour claim holds with Immersive Audio off, but users notice the drop to about 23 hours with it on.
Call qualityPraisedThe mic array keeps voices clear on calls in windy or noisy places.
PortabilityCriticisedThe carry case is bulky, so some owners leave it at home when traveling light.
