Our take on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen

The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) are Bose's flagship over-ear noise-cancelling headphones, with Immersive Audio spatial sound, CustomTune ear-shape tuning and Bluetooth 5.4. Bose rates battery life at up to 30 hours, or about 23 with Immersive Audio on. They sit at the top of Bose's line, above the standard QuietComfort, and compete with Sony's WH-1000XM5 and Apple's AirPods Max on cancellation and comfort rather than on extras.

Best forFrequent flyers and commuters who want top-tier noise cancellingListeners curious about spatial audio for music and moviesPeople who wear headphones for hours and prioritize comfortAndroid and multipoint users who want current Bluetooth
Pros
  • Bose's best headphone noise cancellation, strong on low-frequency engine and cabin noise
  • Immersive Audio puts sound in front of you instead of inside your head
  • CustomTune adapts sound to your ears each time you put them on
  • Up to 30 hours of battery, about 23 with Immersive Audio
  • Light clamping force and plush earcups suit long sessions
  • Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint and app-based device management
  • Polished metal arms and luxe materials give a sturdier, more premium build
Cons
  • Immersive Audio cuts battery life by roughly a quarter
  • Premium price even at the current low; rivals undercut it
  • Spatial mode can color the sound and is not for everyone
  • No wired lossless mode beyond basic analog/USB audio
  • Case and folding design are bulkier than some travel rivals

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 5486 ratings

Owners rate these highly (4.6 of 5 from 486 ratings), with noise cancelling and comfort the most repeated strengths. Immersive Audio divides people: some love the wider stage, others find it artificial and a battery drain.

  • ComfortPraisedLight clamp and soft earcups let people wear them for hours without pressure.
  • Immersive AudioMixedSome love the out-of-head staging; others find it artificial and say it drains the battery.
  • BatteryMixed30 hours is fine, but turning on spatial audio drops it to about 23, which heavy users notice.
  • PriceCriticisedReviewers say you pay a Bose premium over rivals with similar features.
  • BuildPraisedPolished metal arms and luxe materials read as sturdy and premium to owners.

About the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) are wireless over-ear headphones with active noise cancelling. Bose Immersive Audio places the sound in front of you instead of inside your head, for a more natural listening experience.

CustomTune technology analyzes the shape of your ear and adapts the sound to it. The earcups gently hug your ears, and the headband spreads pressure evenly. The arms are polished metal.

The headphones connect over Bluetooth Core 5.4. You can keep track of paired devices in the Bose app.

Questions and answers

How long does the battery last with Immersive Audio on?
Bose rates up to 30 hours normally and about 23 hours with Immersive Audio enabled. Expect less at high volume or in cold weather.

The 2nd Gen moves to Bluetooth 5.4 and refines the design and materials. Noise cancelling and Immersive Audio carry over as the headline features.

Is the QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen worth it?
If noise cancelling and all-day comfort matter most, yes. It is Bose's best cancellation in a headphone, and the spatial audio is a real extra. Rivals with similar battery and features often ask less.

It analyzes your ear's shape and adapts the sound each time you put the headphones on, so tuning is personal rather than a fixed preset.
