Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen Price in Nepal

The second iteration of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones has made its debut. Bose says the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) feature better noise cancellation as well as minor performance and feature upgrades. So in this article, let’s take a closer look at the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen), including their expected price in Nepal.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) Overview

Design

Although Bose mentioned an updated design, the 2nd Gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones look exactly the same as their predecessor. But it now comes in a couple of new color options besides the usual Black and White finishes that Bose calls “Midnight Violet” and “Driftwood Sand”.

The only thing that’s kinda different, design-wise, is that its frames now have this polished metal finish. It still has the same “protein leather” ear cushions and weighs around 264 grams.

Audio and noise cancellation

One of the most notable upgrades on these 2nd Gen headphones is that they now support wired audio via USB-C. As a result, you can now stream lossless wired audio at up to 16-bit / 44.1kHz or 48kHz. These QuietComfort Ultra Headphones also have a new “Cinema Mode” that essentially transforms whatever video content you’re playing into something with spatial audio.

Bose says the Cinema Mode “spatializes and balances surround sound and dialogue of video content” for a “movie-like experience”.

And of course, the 2nd Gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are the best noise-cancelling earcans Bose has ever made. It features next-gen “ActiveSense” technology to reduce occasional noise spikes, whereas Bose’s “CustomTune” technology can also calibrate audio and noise cancellation based on the shape of your ears.

Battery life and the rest

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 2nd Gen can last up to 30 hours on a single charge with either Quiet (ANC) or Aware (transparency) mode. While that number drops to 23 hours under “Immersive Audio” mode, which is Bose’s take on spatial audio.

You can expect a full refill for these headphones in 3 hours, and around 3 hours’ worth of playback after plugging them in for 15 minutes.

Bose has also improved their on-head detection to automatically power off the headphones. There is an even simpler disconnect feature that puts them into a “low-power standby mode” once you lay the headphones flat on a surface.

And like always, the 2nd Gen QuietComfort Ultra Headphones pair to your phone via the Bose app. These headphones also support multipoint connectivity via Bluetooth 5.4, high-res audio codecs like Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, and a 2.5mm headphone jack.
