As reported by our affiliate partner, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2, our favorite pair of wireless headphones for traveling, is currently marked down by $50 on Amazon. This brings the price of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 in Black and Driftwood Sand to $399.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 boasts incredible active noise canceling, with our reviewer Ryan Waniata considering them among the top three headsets when it comes to ANC. They are rivaled only by Sony's WH-1000XM6 and Bose's first-generation QuietComfort Ultra.
Inside the Headphones
The transparency mode on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 is truly excellent, allowing users to keep an ear on their surroundings or have a chat with someone without turning down the music. The headphones also have a sharp level of detail and crisp texture, making them a great pair for listening to music.
The latest generation of QuietComfort over-ear headphones features convenience updates, including an automatic idle mode and slightly better battery life, with around 30 hours of use with ANC on. They also support lossless audio over USB-C, a unique feature in this category.
The Value Proposition
While the $399 price tag may seem high, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 is among our favorite wireless headsets, and the cost is just $20 higher than the all-time low. This makes them a great upgrade choice, even for first-generation owners, as noted in our review of the best wireless headphones.
