Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones see price cut but still trail Sony's WH‑1000XM6

Bose's second‑generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones, originally launched at about £450, have recently been reduced to £341 on Amazon, a discount of roughly £109. Reviewers note the Ultra 2 retains the brand’s strong active noise cancellation and comfortable design, but its bass can sound overly bloated and its stock sound is less balanced than some rivals.

In a side‑by‑side comparison, the Sony WH‑1000XM6 is highlighted as the better overall choice. Priced at £329, the Sony model offers a more natural and detailed sound signature, adaptive noise‑cancelling that feels more organic, superior call quality, and a foldable, comfortable design praised for long‑duration wear. While the Bose headphones still provide class‑leading ANC, reviewers recommend the Sony pair for the lower price and overall sonic performance.

Both headphones target premium consumers seeking wireless, noise‑cancelling solutions for music, movies, and travel, with the current price shifts sharpening the competition in the high‑end market.
