Bose announced QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) on 10 September 2025. The update retains the line’s focus on quiet, comfort and sound while improving both wired digital listening and everyday wireless use.
USB-C lossless audio provides another listening path, and Cinema Mode reshapes video audio for a more spacious presentation and clearer dialogue. Updated ActiveSense smooths the response to sudden environmental noise in Aware Mode.
Refined on-head detection, Bluetooth standby and up to 30 hours of playback support commuting and travel. Battery duration changes with listening mode; local colours, availability and specifications should be checked separately from the global announcement.
