Our take on the Bose QuietComfort 2nd Gen Noise Cancelling Headphones
The Bose QuietComfort 2nd Gen is an over-ear Bluetooth headphone built around Bose's active noise cancellation, with soft synthetic-leather ear cushions and a folding frame. It is the comfort-first pick in its class: quieter and lighter-feeling than the Sony WH-1000XM5 for long wear, though it gives up some detail and codec support to it. Bluetooth 5.4 and USB-C keep it current, and the sound is a warm, bass-forward tuning most people find easy to live with. It suits commuters, flyers and office workers who want strong ANC and all-day comfort more than audiophile nuance.
- Class-leading active noise cancellation for low rumbles and cabin noise
- Very comfortable, light clamp with plush ear cushions
- Folds flat into a compact case for travel
- Simple multipoint pairing and reliable Bluetooth 5.4
- Physical controls plus a usable companion app with EQ

What reviewers say
Reviewers and owners consistently rate the QuietComfort 2nd Gen on comfort and noise cancellation, calling it one of the easiest headphones to wear all day. Sound is described as warm and bass-rich rather than neutral, and some wish for more codec support and auto-pause.
- Noise cancellingPraisedOwners say it cuts engine and cabin noise better than most rivals and makes flights far quieter.
- ComfortPraisedReviewers report the soft cushions and light clamp stay comfortable over multi-hour wear.
- SoundMixedMany like the warm bass, but critics say it lacks detail and sounds less balanced than the Sony WH-1000XM5.
Questions and answers
- How does it compare with the Sony WH-1000XM5?
- The Bose is more comfortable and cancels low-frequency noise slightly better. The Sony sounds more detailed, adds LDAC and auto-pause, and folds smaller.
- Is it worth upgrading from the original QuietComfort?
- Only if you want Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint and the updated tuning. The noise cancellation and fit are close to the earlier model.
- Does it have a wired mode?
- Yes. A USB-C cable and a 3.5 mm cable let you listen wired, and the 3.5 mm cable works with the headphones powered off.
- How long does the battery last?
- Bose rates it at roughly 24 hours with noise cancellation on. A short USB-C charge gives several hours of playback.
- Can it connect to two devices at once?
- Yes. Multipoint lets it stay connected to a phone and a laptop and switch between them.
- What is in the box?
- The headphones, a hard carry case, a USB-C charging cable and a 3.5 mm audio cable.
