Bose releases QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Generation)

Bose has released the QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Generation), a new iteration of its standard headphone series. Positioned as a more affordable alternative to the high-end Ultra models, this version retains the brand's signature high-performance Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) capabilities.

The new model features a modernized design with pill-shaped ear cups and a smooth sliding headband to improve comfort. Technical upgrades include immersive audio (spatial audio) similar to the premium models, a new cinema mode for video content, and support for USB-C wired lossless playback. The device offers up to 24 hours of continuous battery life and includes ActiveSense technology for ambient sound transparency.
