What the Second Generation Changed

Specifications (checked against Bose official)

Key Features

Bose's Best-Ever ANC + ActiveSense

The second generation refines what was already the industry benchmark: ActiveSense smooths sudden spikes — a train arriving, a slammed door — rather than only holding back steady background hum. Quiet Mode seals you off; Aware Mode keeps the world audible.

Lossless USB-C Audio (new to 2nd gen)

Plug the USB-C cable into a phone or laptop and audio runs at 16-bit / 44.1–48kHz lossless, bypassing Bluetooth compression entirely. For focused listening, editing work or a plane's entertainment system — this is the feature the first gen never had.

aptX Lossless + Snapdragon Sound

With a Snapdragon Sound phone you get aptX Lossless wirelessly; gaming gets aptX Adaptive low latency. iPhone users keep every feature over Bluetooth and can take the USB-C cable for lossless.

CustomTune Personalisation

Each time you put them on, a test tone maps the shape of your ear canal and calibrates both sound and noise cancelling to it — not one tuning for everyone.

Immersive Audio + Cinema Mode

Immersive Audio pushes the stage outside your head — closer to speakers than to headphones. The new Cinema Mode tunes for video: dialogue anchored centre, ambience spread wide. Made for series marathons and films.

Comfort That Lasts the Full Charge

Plush cushions and a pressure-distributing headband — 30 hours of battery matched by all-day wearability. It is what the QuietComfort name has always meant.

Where It Sits in Our Headphone Range

The short version: maximum noise cancelling and all-day comfort — this over-ear; pocketable and discreet — the two earbuds above.

Frequently Asked Questions

What changed from the first generation?

Battery 24 → 30 hours, quick charge 15 minutes now gives 3 hours instead of 2.5, plus new lossless USB-C audio and Cinema Mode, and further-refined ANC. Fit and look are close to unchanged.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 30 hours; about 23 with Immersive Audio on. A 15-minute charge gives roughly 3 hours; a full charge takes about 3 hours.

What is lossless USB-C audio?

Connect the included USB-C cable to a phone or laptop and audio streams at 16-bit / 44.1–48kHz without Bluetooth compression. You hear it most in focused listening — which is what this price tier is for.

Do they work fully with an iPhone?

Everything works over Bluetooth; aptX Lossless specifically needs a Snapdragon Sound Android phone. On iPhone, use the USB-C cable when you want lossless.

What colours are there?

Black, white smoke, midnight violet, driftwood sand and desert gold — all five currently in stock, all viewable at the showroom.

What listening modes are there?

Quiet (full ANC), Aware (transparency with ActiveSense spike control), Immersive Audio and Cinema Mode — switched and customised in the Bose app.
