The QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) also add two-way USB-C audio and a generously long battery life. The big news is that the QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) are the first in its class to get TrueSpatial tech, which Bose usually reserve for top-tier models like the Quietcomfort Ultra Headphones Gen 2. I was a big fan when I tried the Ultra Headphones Gen 2 last year, so it’s great to see it appearing on a (slightly) more affordable pair. Elsewhere the updated model adds two-way USB-C audio, for lossless 24bit/48kHz wired listening and clearer voice input with video call apps like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. The Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) is up for pre-order today, directly from the Bose website, and will start shipping on August 13.
