They combine advanced Bose active noise cancellation, Bose Immersive Audio, Cinema Mode, USB-C digital audio, Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint connectivity, built-in microphones, improved on-head detection, and up to 30 hours of battery life with active noise cancellation enabled. The Driftwood Sand finish uses a warm neutral exterior with metallic bronze-toned accents for a refined appearance. The second-generation noise-cancellation system is designed to provide smoother control over environmental sound. Aware Mode allows surrounding sound to pass through, while updated ActiveSense processing helps reduce sudden spikes in outside noise. Noise cancellation can also be adjusted or turned off through the Bose app. Bose Immersive Audio spatializes conventional stereo content to create a broader presentation that feels less confined inside the headphones. Cinema Mode expands the spatial effect for movies and video while balancing dialogue, background audio, and effects for a more cinematic presentation. The headphones support USB-C digital audio, allowing compatible USB-C source devices to send 16-bit audio at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz directly to the headphones. This wired digital connection can provide lower latency for compatible music, video, and gaming applications, while the headphones can continue charging during playback. Battery life reaches up to approximately 30 hours with active noise cancellation, up to approximately 23 hours with Immersive Audio enabled, and up to approximately 45 hours with ANC turned off. Improved on-head detection supports more seamless everyday operation. Wearing the headphones can automatically wake them and reconnect to paired devices, while laying them flat or folding them into the carrying case can place them into a lower-power standby state. Wireless connectivity uses Bluetooth 5.4, with Bluetooth multipoint allowing two compatible devices to remain connected simultaneously. This makes it easier to transition between sources such as a computer and smartphone throughout the day. The around-ear cushions, adjustable headband, lightweight construction, and foldable design are intended for extended listening and travel. The headphones weigh approximately 264 grams / 0.58 pounds and fold into the included carrying case for storage and transportation.
