- Is the 2nd Gen worth it over the original QuietComfort?
- Yes if you want longer rated battery life and newer Bluetooth with multipoint. If you already own the previous model and only care about noise cancelling, the gain is modest.
- How good is the noise cancelling compared with Sony and Apple?
- It is among the best for steady low sounds like engines and air conditioning. Sony and Apple rivals are close and edge ahead on adaptive features and call clarity.
- How long does the battery last?
- Bose rates it at up to 24 hours of playback. Real-world use with noise cancelling on lands close to that, and USB-C charging tops it up quickly.
- Can I connect to two devices at once?
- Yes. Bluetooth 5.4 supports multipoint, so you can stay paired to a phone and a laptop and switch between them.
- Does it work wired if the battery runs out?
- Only with a separate audio cable, which is not included. There is no analog mode out of the box, so plan on charging over USB-C.
- What is in the box?
- The headphones, a USB-C charging cable and a carry case. An audio cable for wired listening is sold separately.
- Where is the Bose QuietComfort Headphones 2nd Gen Over-Ear cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $249.00, as of our latest check.
