A sleek, streamlined take on the original noise-cancelling headphones. Pill-shaped earcups and an adjustable sliding headband hit on contemporary design trends and modern aesthetics.
Comfortable fit
The headband is wider than the previous gen, and adds more of the supple, synthetic leather found on the earcups. The headphones strike the right balance of clamping force for a secure fit and lightweight feel.
Improved audio performance
The addition of Bose TrueSpatial Technology gives listeners a more natural, immersive experience - no matter the content. What you hear is taken out of your head and placed in front for a wider, fuller soundstage. QC Headphones (2nd Gen) also feature high-fidelity lossless audio delivered by USB connection.
Legendary noise cancelling
Bose’s legendary noise cancelling technology, QuietControl, includes updated ActiveSense tech for adaptive acoustic noise reduction to smooth unwanted spikes in noise when listening in Aware Mode.
More modes
In addition to Quiet Mode for full noise cancelling and Aware Mode for transparency, these headphones include Immersion, Cinema Mode and ANR off. Cinema Mode enhances video content with an immersive experience with more nuanced, layered sound.
Better call quality
Improved background noise reduction better blocks environmental noise to ensure every word of what you say sounds crystal clear.
Full-day battery
Listen for up to 24 hours with full noise cancelling engaged, or up to 18 hours with TrueSpatial Immersive Audio.* And now you can charge the headphones via the included USB cable while listening. The headphones fully charge in 3 hours**, while 15 minutes of charge time provides 2.5 hours of playback.**
* Testing conducted by Bose with active noise cancelling on and audio playback at a loudness of 75 dBSPL. Battery life varies based on settings and usage
** Quick charge testing conducted by Bose by charging battery-depleted headphones for 15 minutes, then resuming audio playback at a loudness of 75 dBSPL. Battery life varies based on settings and usage. Time to achieve fully charged headphones wasdetermined by charging battery-depleted headphones to 100%
Improved controls
The refreshed design of the headphones includes more intuitive button placement. Power on/off, play/pause music, control volume, cycle listening modes, get Bluetooth® information and take calls all from the earcups themselves.
