Our Review
Bose wrote the book on noise cancellation, and the QC Ultra 2 is the latest chapter. ANC performance is the best available — it silences low-frequency airplane rumble, mid-range office chatter, and high-frequency fan whine more effectively than any competitor. Immersive Audio adds spatial depth to music, and CustomTune calibrates the sound to your ear shape on every wear. The Gen 2 adds auto power-on (put them on, they turn on) and wireless charging case compatibility. 30 hours of battery, premium comfort, and the best ANC make these the headphones for frequent travelers.
