Overview

Noise-cancelling over-ear headphones

Bose's mid-range noise-cancelling headphones, now with the Immersive Audio and lossless USB-C audio of the QuietComfort Ultra line. Bluetooth is limited to SBC and AAC, without the Ultra's aptX Adaptive.

  • Noise cancelling close to the Ultra

    Six microphones drive the noise cancelling, which compensates for gaps in the seal from glasses, hair or hats. Most reviewers found it close to the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen).

  • Light, comfortable fit

    Reviewers found them very comfortable, with soft cushioning and a gentle clamp. They are lighter and more compact than the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen).

  • Lossless USB-C audio

    Over USB-C they play lossless audio up to 24-bit/48 kHz and carry the microphone for calls. A USB-C to 3.5 mm cable is included for analogue sources such as in-flight entertainment.

Battery

Rated up to 24 hours per charge, or 18 hours with Immersive Audio on. A 15-minute charge gives up to 2.5 hours, and the headphones can be used while charging.

Folding design

The ear cups fold for travel.
