"The QC Ultra 2's defining theme is that they don't attempt to rewrite Bose's legacy; rather, they refine it. They look identical to the first generation, except for the yokes, which swap a matte aluminum finish for a shiny, polished metal finish. The QC Ultra 2's earcups are slightly shallower than those of their predecessor, which can cause fit issues for people with larger heads and ears."
"More significant upgrades lie in the smaller details, including USB-C audio support, available at up to 16-bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz. Thus, the QC Ultra 2 are better suited for gaming or more faithful listening than the first generation. Unlike the Sonos Ace and Apple AirPods Max, the QC Ultra 2 retain their 3.5mm headphone jack, which is great news for frequent flyers. And unlike the Sony XM6, which do not support USB-C audio, you can listen through the QC Ultra 2's USB-C port, even while charging them."
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Gen 2) maintain the previous generation's overall design while implementing precise refinements. The yokes change from matte aluminum to polished metal, and earcups are slightly shallower, which may affect fit for larger heads and ears. Key upgrades include USB-C audio support up to 16-bit/44.1kHz or 48kHz and the ability to listen via USB-C while charging. The headphones retain a 3.5mm jack useful for frequent flyers. Core elements like speaker drivers and noise cancellation remain largely unchanged, making the model an incremental refinement.
