Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) - Black

Product Description:

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) are Bose's flagship over-ear noise-cancelling headphones — the pinnacle of the QuietComfort line, delivering Bose's best noise cancellation, CustomTune ear-profiling that adapts sound to your unique ear shape, Immersive Audio with TrueSpatial technology in three modes, aptX Adaptive with aptX Lossless for the highest-quality wireless streaming available, USB-C lossless wired audio, and up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC active — all wrapped in a refined industrial design with polished metal components, plush synthetic leather cushions, and an even-pressure headband built for all-day comfort. At $449, the QC Ultra 2nd Gen represents Bose's absolute best in over-ear headphones — every technology, every feature, every comfort refinement, nothing held back.

CustomTune™ is the feature that makes the QC Ultra genuinely personal. At startup, the headphones emit a brief calibration tone and analyze the acoustic response of your unique ear shape in milliseconds. The system then automatically adjusts the EQ and noise-cancellation profile to match your ears — compensating for the anatomical differences that make every pair of ears respond to sound differently. The result is audio that's optimized specifically for you, not averaged for a generic listener. Your bass hits deeper, your midrange clarifies, and your highs extend more naturally than headphones without personalized profiling can achieve.

Bose Immersive Audio with TrueSpatial technology takes what you're hearing out of your head and places it in front of you for a more natural, speaker-like listening experience. Three modes tailor the spatial effect: Still mode pins the sound source in virtual space so it stays fixed when you turn your head — ideal for focused desk listening. Motion mode lets the soundstage track your movements naturally while walking or commuting. Cinema mode widens the soundstage and centers dialogue for movies, TV, and podcasts — making video content feel like a private screening. All three modes work with any stereo content.

The QC Ultra 2nd Gen is the most connected headphone Bose has ever made. Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound certification supports aptX Adaptive including aptX Lossless for wireless streaming up to 24-bit/96kHz from compatible sources — the highest-fidelity wireless codec available. USB-C lossless audio streams at 16-bit/44.1 or 48kHz wired quality with two-way microphone passthrough for calls, and charging continues simultaneously — one cable for audio, mic, and power. The included 2.5mm-to-3.5mm analog cable provides a traditional wired option. Google Fast Pair enables instant Android pairing. Spotify Tap resumes playback with a single press. Gaming Mode activates low-latency aptX for responsive mobile gaming. Multipoint connects to two devices simultaneously.

Bose's best noise cancellation uses an advanced microphone array to block out ambient noise with the depth and consistency that has defined the QuietComfort name for decades. Quiet mode delivers maximum isolation. Aware mode lets environmental sound through. Custom modes let you save personalized ANC profiles. Wind Block mode targets outdoor wind noise.

Up to 30 hours of battery with ANC active (23 hours with Immersive Audio, 45 hours with ANC off) ensures multi-day listening between charges. A 15-minute quick charge adds 2.5 hours (or 3 hours without Immersive). The polished metal arms, refined metal yokes, and plush synthetic leather cushions create a premium, sophisticated look. The foldable frame collapses into the included hard carrying case. On-head detection automatically pauses playback when you remove the headphones and resumes when you put them back on. Weight approximately 250 grams.
