How is the 2nd Gen different from the original QuietComfort Ultra?

Bose positions the 2nd Gen as a refinement of the original, with updated processing and tuning rather than a redesign. The core features — top-tier cancellation, Immersive Audio and the same over-ear format — carry over.

How does it compare with the Sony WH-1000XM5?

Both are top noise-cancellers. Bose tends to edge ahead on pure cancellation and comfort, while Sony offers more app features and customization. Choose Bose for silence and fit, Sony for software depth.

Does Immersive Audio hurt battery life?

Yes. Spatial mode uses more processing and shortens runtime compared with standard listening. Turn it off for the longest playback.

What comes in the box?

The headphones, a hard carry case, a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable, a 20-inch USB-C (A to C) cable and a safety sheet.

Can I use them wired?

Yes, with the included audio cable for analog listening. Note that wired listening still requires battery power for the electronics.

Are they good for calls and meetings?

Yes. The microphones and cancellation work well for voice calls in noisy places, though very windy outdoor conditions remain a challenge for any headphone.
