Bose’s Advanced Noise Cancellation
The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) feature Bose’s advanced adjustable Active Noise Cancellation system. Quiet Mode provides maximum noise reduction, helping minimise distractions from aircraft cabins, office conversations, traffic, air conditioners and other environmental sounds.
This makes the headphones particularly suitable for flights, commuting, shared workspaces and busy environments around Dubai and the UAE.
Aware Mode with ActiveSense
Aware Mode allows external sounds to enter naturally when you need to remain conscious of announcements, conversations or nearby traffic.
ActiveSense can automatically adjust noise cancellation when sudden loud sounds occur, helping maintain a more consistent listening experience without completely isolating you from your surroundings.
Bose Immersive Audio
Bose Immersive Audio creates a spacious listening experience by positioning sound in front of you rather than making it feel confined inside the headphones.
Available Immersive Audio settings include:
- Still Mode: Keeps the virtual soundstage positioned in front of you while you remain seated.
- Motion Mode: Adjusts the soundstage as you move.
- Off: Provides conventional stereo playback.
Immersive Audio works with ordinary stereo content and does not require a specially mixed spatial-audio track.
New Cinema Mode
Cinema Mode is designed for movies, television programmes, sports and other video content. It uses Bose spatial processing to expand the soundstage while improving dialogue clarity and balancing background effects.
It can make voices easier to understand while maintaining the impact of music, action sequences and environmental sound.
CustomTune Personalised Sound
Bose CustomTune technology analyses the individual shape of your ears each time the headphones are worn. It then adjusts the sound and noise-cancelling performance to provide a more personalised listening experience.
This automatic calibration helps deliver balanced sound without requiring complicated manual setup.
Premium Bose Audio
The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are designed to provide detailed vocals, controlled bass and clear high-frequency reproduction across music, podcasts, movies and games.
The Bose app also offers an adjustable equaliser, allowing users to personalise bass, midrange and treble according to their preferences.
Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life
When new, the second-generation headphones provide:
- Up to 30 hours of playback with Quiet or Aware Mode
- Up to 23 hours with Immersive Audio enabled
- Up to 45 hours with Active Noise Cancellation switched off
Actual battery runtime for this used pair will depend on current battery health, volume, connection method, listening mode and previous charging history.
Fast USB-C Charging
A quick 15-minute charge can provide up to approximately three hours of playback under Bose’s testing conditions.
A complete charge takes approximately three hours. Charging performance depends on the cable, power source and condition of the used battery.
Listen While Charging
The second-generation model can continue playing audio while connected to USB-C power. This lets users keep listening during long work sessions or travel when the battery is running low.
Charging may take longer when the headphones are being used at the same time.
Lossless USB-C Audio
Connect the headphones directly to a compatible smartphone, tablet or computer through USB-C for digital wired audio.
The headphones can receive compatible audio signals at:
- 16-bit/44.1kHz
- 16-bit/48kHz
USB-C audio provides a stable wired option for music, video editing and gaming while preserving the detail of compatible lossless source files.
3.5mm Wired Listening
The headphones also support analogue wired listening using the original 3.5mm-to-2.5mm audio cable.
This is useful for aircraft entertainment systems, computers, gaming controllers and other devices with a conventional headphone output. Bose includes this cable with the original retail package, although its inclusion with a used unit must be confirmed.
Bluetooth 5.4 Connectivity
Bluetooth 5.4 provides a reliable wireless connection with compatible smartphones, tablets, laptops and other Bluetooth devices.
The headphones support standard SBC and AAC audio codecs, providing broad compatibility with both Apple and Android devices.
Multipoint Connection
Bluetooth multipoint allows the headphones to remain connected to two compatible devices simultaneously.
For example, users can listen to music from a laptop and then answer an incoming call from a connected smartphone without manually disconnecting and pairing again.
Snapdragon Sound and Gaming Mode
Compatible Snapdragon Sound devices can use aptX Adaptive and a lower-latency Gaming Mode. This can help improve audio synchronisation during supported mobile games.
For computers and other gaming devices, Bose recommends USB-C wired audio when minimum delay and lossless digital sound are preferred.
Clear Voice Calls
Built-in microphones and echo-reduction processing help capture the user’s voice during phone calls and online meetings.
Call clarity depends on the environment, Bluetooth connection and microphone condition of the used unit.
Improved On-Head Detection
The headphones can automatically detect when they are placed on or removed from the user’s head.
Supported functions include:
- Automatic wake-up when worn
- Play and pause control
- Entering low-power mode when removed
- Resuming playback when worn again
On-head detection and automatic power settings can be adjusted through the Bose app.
Convenient Physical and Touch Controls
Controls on the right earcup include:
- Bluetooth and power button
- Multi-function button
- Capacitive volume strip
- Configurable shortcut control
Users can manage playback, answer calls, adjust volume, switch listening modes and activate a supported voice assistant directly from the headphones.
Bose App Customisation
The Bose app provides access to:
- Adjustable equaliser
- Noise-cancellation settings
- Custom listening modes
- Immersive Audio controls
- Cinema Mode
- Bluetooth device management
- Control shortcuts
- Firmware updates
- Battery information
The headphones can connect through ordinary Bluetooth settings, but the Bose app is required to access their complete feature set.
Premium Over-Ear Comfort
The around-ear design uses plush removable cushions and an adjustable padded headband. Bose designed the headband to distribute pressure evenly, helping provide comfort during long listening sessions, flights and extended office use.
The updated second-generation design also includes polished metallic yokes and premium exterior detailing.
Foldable and Travel-Friendly
The earcups fold inward, allowing the headphones to fit inside their compact protective carrying case.
This foldable construction makes them convenient for business travel, daily commuting and holidays across the UAE or internationally.

Approximate headphone specifications include:
- Height: 8.07 inches
- Width: 6.30 inches
- Depth: 1.77 inches
