The case now charges wirelessly, calls get AI background noise suppression, and ActiveSense has been improved. The sound story is unchanged — CustomTune plus Immersive Audio — so if you are choosing between the two generations, the decision really comes down to charging and call handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the 2nd generation adds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the first generation, this model adds five things: wireless charging, AI-based background noise suppression for call quality, improved ActiveSense adaptive noise cancellation, case battery level reporting in the Bose app, and the option to disable touch controls from the app. Everything else carries over, including CustomTune, the listening modes and Immersive Audio. If you take a lot of calls outdoors or already own a wireless charging pad, those are the reasons to pick this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpeechClarity and Cinema Mode\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeechClarity is Bose's AI-based processing that filters background noise out of your outgoing voice so the person on the other end hears you more clearly. Cinema Mode is a preset that uses Bose TrueSpatial to turn stereo audio into a theatre-like, immersive presentation, which is most useful for films and series. Both are enabled from the Bose app with no extra setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBattery, charging and the wireless case\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earbuds play for up to 6 hours, or up to 4 hours with Immersive Audio on, and the case holds three complete charging cycles. A full charge takes about 2 hours, and a 20-minute quick charge returns up to 2 hours of playback. The case has a USB-C port and also supports wireless charging, though you need to supply a compatible third-party charger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConnection and build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth is version 5.3 with a stated range of 30 feet (about 9 m). Each earbud measures roughly 30 x 12.4 x 25 mm and weighs about 7 g; the case is roughly 66 x 60 x 27 mm and about 60 g. Materials are PC-ABS plastic, silicone and metal, and water resistance is IPX4, unchanged from the previous generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;background:#f6f6f6\"\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd;background:#f6f6f6\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eTrue wireless in-ear noise cancelling earbuds (2nd gen)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eNoise cancellation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eAdjustable Noise Cancelling, improved ActiveSense\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePersonalisation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCustomTune\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSpatial audio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBose Immersive Audio, Cinema Mode (TrueSpatial)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCalls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSpeechClarity, AI background noise suppression\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBluetooth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e5.3, range 30 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eBluetooth profiles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eA2DP, HFP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePlayback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 10px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eUp to 6 hours;

What changed is how you refill the case: wireless charging is now supported, and the app reports the case's remaining battery instead of leaving you to guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich wireless charging pad should I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\nNo pad is supplied, so you need a compatible third-party charger. Most standard Qi pads work, but check the pad's coil placement and output before buying, as small pads or ones with a tight alignment window can be fiddly with a case this size. Charging over USB-C always remains an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I turn off the touch controls?\u003c\/strong\u003e\nYes. The 2nd generation adds a setting in the Bose app to disable touch controls entirely, which helps if you keep triggering them when adjusting your hair or a mask. This option is exclusive to the 2nd generation and is not available on the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated products and guides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-wireless-earbuds\"\u003eBose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Noise Cancelling Earbuds\u003c\/a\u003e — the previous generation, fewer features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-noise-cancelling-wireless-over-ear-headphones-2nd-gen\"\u003eBose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen (over-ear)\u003c\/a\u003e — the over-ear version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/headphone\"\u003eAll headphones and earbuds\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/news\/parallel-import-vs-licensed-tv-hong-kong-guide\"\u003eParallel import vs licensed goods: the full guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/tv-warranty-policy\"\u003eWarranty policy (10-day exchange for headphones, cameras, mics)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/policies\/shipping-policy\"\u003eShipping policy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bose","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48767241420994,"sku":"13942961","price":1888.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Smoke","offer_id":48767241453762,"sku":"13942996","price":1888.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deep Plum","offer_id":48767241486530,"sku":"13955084","price":1888.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Desert Gold","offer_id":48767241519298,"sku":"13983317","price":1888.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Midnight Violet","offer_id":48767241552066,"sku":"13983392","price":1888.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/4310\/0610\/files\/f11f213c4edf310631f9f022bc976cb6ab594b50.avif?v=1788962233","url":"https:\/\/elechid.com\/en\/products\/bose-quietcomfort-ultra-earbuds-2nd-gen-wireless-earbuds","provider":"Elechid 音立","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
