I’ve been using the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) for a while now, and I have to say — these things are incredible.
Sound:
The sound is warm and rich, but still very balanced and clear. Everything feels natural — vocals, instruments, bass — nothing is overdone or harsh. I haven’t noticed any distortion at all, even at higher volumes. The soundstage also surprised me; it’s natural and has a nice sense of depth and space between instruments. Music just feels alive through these, not flat or clinical.

Comfort:
Comfort is honestly next level. These feel like pillows hugging your head — soft, snug, and super comfortable for long sessions. I wouldn’t use them for workouts (they’re not built for that kind of movement), but they’re fine for light activities like a brisk walk or some yoga.

Noise Canceling & Transparency:
The noise canceling is phenomenal — so strong it can actually get a little disorienting at first because it blocks everything. On the other hand, the transparency mode sounds incredibly natural. You can easily hear your surroundings without it sounding artificial, which is great if you’re in an office or just need to stay aware of people around you.

Controls & Features:
The controls take a little getting used to, but once you figure them out, they work really smoothly. I love that you can quickly switch between Bluetooth devices you’ve already paired — that’s super convenient. Battery life is great too — around 30 hours, which easily gets me through multiple workdays or a long flight.

There’s also USB audio, multi-point Bluetooth, and spatial audio that works on any device, no special software needed. The call quality is excellent too; I’ve taken business calls in noisy environments and people still hear me clearly.
Overall:
These are some of the best headphones I’ve ever owned. The sound, comfort, and noise canceling are all top-tier, and the features make them super versatile. They’re not for heavy workouts, but for travel, work, or just relaxing and enjoying your music, they’re absolutely worth it.

Best headphones for discerning listeners/Musicians

I’m a pro musician and audiophile, and I’ve always been very particular ( and picky) about my sound gear and getting the best possible audio. With that said, these new Bose headphones are the best I’ve tried to date. The response, quality, and noise cancellation features are superior to other studio quality headphones, and the ability to EQ the treble, miss, and bass to my liking is fantastic! The Bose app makes it easy to adjust the sound to every environment, especially when traveling on tour or vacation. I had a pair of the Quiet Comfort headphones and enjoyed using them, but when the new QC2’s came out I had to try them. Well played, Bose. Well played, and thanks!

I love this exclusive design of the headphones it is definitely very unique and I have received many complements on how they look. I love the sound and how comfortable they are to wear. I'm still getting use to wearing around the ear headphones.

Muy buen producto, este modelo me gusta mucho el perfil de sonido, muchos detalles en lo altos y gran profundidad de bajos, tenía los QC 45 que eran más "opacos" en sonido
