Our take on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen Over-Ear

The second-generation QuietComfort Ultra is Bose's flagship over-ear headphone, with adaptive active noise cancelling, spatial audio and Bluetooth 5.4. Battery life is rated at 30 hours with noise cancelling on, which trails the class leaders from Sony and Sennheiser. Reviewers rate its noise cancelling and comfort among the best, while some find the app and touch controls fussy. It suits frequent flyers and commuters who want the quietest ride and a light fit more than the longest battery.

Questions and answers

How does it compare with the first QuietComfort Ultra?
The second generation adds Bluetooth 5.4 and refined noise cancelling and tuning. The overall design and fit are close to the original, so the upgrade matters most if you want the latest connectivity.
Is the battery good enough for long flights?
30 hours with noise cancelling on covers most long-haul trips and a few days of commuting. Heavy users will charge more often than with Sony or Sennheiser rivals.
Can I use it wired?
Yes, with a USB-C or analog cable, though some features such as spatial audio depend on power. Wired listening also works when the battery is empty on supported cables.
Does it support multipoint?
Yes, it can stay connected to two devices at once, such as a laptop and a phone. Switching between them is handled in the Bose app.
What is in the box?
You get the headphones, a carry case and a USB-C charging cable. A wired audio cable is included for listening without Bluetooth.
Is spatial audio worth using?
It widens the soundstage and tracks head movement, which suits films and games. For music, many listeners prefer it off.
Where is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen Over-Ear cheapest?
