A top tier headphone in every way

These headphones are such a sleek and comfortable set. From the moment I put them on, the comfort stood out. The earcups are soft, lightweight, and somehow manage to feel secure without any pressure. I’ve worn them through long flights, daily at my desk and even on the couch listening to podcasts and music and they never felt fatiguing. Bose has always been known for comfort, but these take it up a notch.
The sound quality is just as impressive. Music feels rich and detailed. The bass is tight without being overwhelming, vocals are crisp, and everything comes through with a clarity that makes you want to revisit your favorite tracks. These new headphones also have improved spatial audio support and upgraded noise cancellation, and you get an experience that feels more immersive than ever, whether it was music or movies, I loved all of it.
Pairing is seamless, battery life easily holds up to long days, and the build feels premium without being flashy. I loved how the headphones auto pair whenever you take them out of the case, the ease of use and their overall comfort is perfect for flights and travel or just at my desk in my day to day. I cannot recommend these headphones enough, better sound, better comfort, and an overall more refined experience than the first gen.
I received the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones to try from Best Buy.
Pros:
• Extremely comfortable for long wear
• Brilliant sound with clear highs and deep bass
• Top-tier noise cancellation and spatial audio
• Premium build and easy Bluetooth connection
Cons:
• Pricey, but you can feel where the money goes

After watching several reviews, making several trips to Best Buy and exchanging the XM6 for the Apple Pro Max. Then exchanging the Apple Pro Max for the Bose QC2 … I can say I’m finally happy.
Firs off the design. The design of the Bose are nice, sleek and Stylish. The silver accents make the headphone stand out. Whereas the XM6 were boring to look at.
Comfort: the Bose sit conformity on my head and is light. My ears sit inside the ear cups without any issue. Whereas the earcups of the XM6 is weird. The ear cups sat partially on top my ear. However other that, the XM6 were comfortable. The Apple Pro Max were the most uncomfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever worn. I tried to stick it out due to me having an iPhone as one of my devices. But these were extremely too tight on my head… resulting in me having headaches.
Sound: I feel the Bose sound the best out of them all. The Bose have good base and provides you the ability to tinker with the sound with the EQ.
The Bose is the overall best for me.

Ok here we go. In the summer I purchased the Sony M6 and wrote a positive review about the headphones.
I had always been a Bose fan because of their signature low bass. Well, I returned the M6 when I heard the Gen2 comfort would be released and I am very glad that I did.
I’ve owned the AirPod Pro Max, Bose Q45, Bose Ultra QC 1st gen, Sony M6 and now these. I will say these are the best by far!!! Comfort and sound is what I look for in headphones/earbuds and based on those presences, these are the best

Overall sound quality is good as always. They improved slightly but not fan of this glossy part that looks like it is going to scratch well. I have owned every pair of Bose QC series and they improve ANC quiet bit. No issue with this auto off feature one person complained. You can adjust EQ so no need to worry about with Demo version at the store.. everyone says XM5 is better but sony is very heavy on bass but not clear on high.. this is just good all around.

Absolutely amazing headphones. The sound quality is noticeably richer and fuller than my last-gen AirPods Pro, and the multi-device connection with seamless automatic transitions is a game-changer. Comfort, clarity, and convenience all in one — truly exceptional.

Great overall sound and fit. Usb c audio is a plus. Only downside was the clamp force of the headset was light making it shift and almost falling off when looking down.

Best noise cancelling headphones

These headphones are the best noise cancelling ones I've had. Much better than the apple AirPods max because the bose are lighter and more comfortable. I always trust bose when it comes to speakers and headphones and have yet to be disappointed. They're perfect for studying helping cut out background noise.

Overall product is well built, it's biggest advantage against competitors like Sony xm6 is it's simply more comfortable. On top of having a bit more appealing designs. Compared to the previous generation not much a difference only added mode in the app.

These are probably the most comfortable cans you can get at the moment with the best ANC, best the software/firmware is its pitfall. One thing no reveiwers have mentioned is that while the ANC is at full strength when you first put on the headphones, it gradually decreases or as you would put it auto-ANC. This also happens when you take off the headset and put it back on. If you toggle the different modes within Bose apps, ANC will be back at full strength again, only for it to gradually decline and you can start hearing the noise. This "auto-ANC" feature is definitely one thats not desirable and can't be turned off.

It was really hard for me to justify spending so much on headphones but these are more than I could’ve imagined. Two types of noise canceling and one type I can’t even hear my own voice (or terrible singing along). They’re unbelievably comfortable and there’s no feeling of pressure from having them on at all. The sound moves with the motion of your head — I know it sounds weird, but I don’t know how else to describe it. And the sound quality is hands down the best you could imagine. It’s unreal. And — yes, there’s another and — you don’t miss a second of whatever you’re listening to if you lift even one of the sides up it pauses and starts back exactly where it was. I love where the volume is placed. It makes sense and is natural. The technology part is amazing but I have no idea how to describe that part. I’m not savvy or knowledgeable about that so it just seems that much more magical lol. Yes, it’s definitely an investment but a truly worthwhile one. The sound quality is priceless and noise cancellation and being able to just have that amount of silence is priceless.
