- Is the 2nd Gen worth it over the original QuietComfort Ultra?
- The 2nd Gen refines the same formula: similar cancellation, updated Bluetooth and tuning. If you already own the first Ultra, the step up is small; first-time buyers get the best Bose has made.
- How does it compare with the Sony WH-1000XM6?
- Bose edges ahead on pure noise cancelling and comfort; Sony offers more EQ, more codecs and longer battery with Immersive-style processing. Choose Bose for quiet, Sony for tuning.
- How long does the battery last?
- Up to 30 hours with cancellation on, less with Immersive Audio engaged. A short USB-C charge covers a flight.
- Can I connect two devices at once?
- Yes. Multipoint pairs a phone and a laptop together, and it switches automatically when a call comes in.
- Does it work with a wired connection?
- Yes, through the USB-C port or a 3.5 mm cable, though the cable is sold separately. Wired listening works with the battery off.
- Is it good for calls and video meetings?
- Yes. The microphones reject background noise well, and the over-ear fit blocks office noise on your end.
- Where is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen Noise Cancelling Headphones cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $455.00, as of our latest check.
