Modern, updated design

A sleek, streamlined take on the original noise cancelling headphones. All-new pill-shaped earcups and an adjustable sliding headband hit on contemporary design trends and modern aesthetics. They’re also available in fashion-forward two-tone colorways to complete any look.

Comfortable fit for all-day wear

The new headband is wider than the previous gen, and adds more of the supple, synthetic leather found on the earcups. The headphones strike the right balance of clamping force and comfort for a secure fit and lightweight feel.

Improved audio performance

The addition of Bose TrueSpatial Technology gives listeners a more natural, immersive experience — no matter the content. QC Headphones (2nd Gen) now also feature high-fidelity lossless audio delivered by USB connection.

Legendary noise cancelling

Legendary Bose QuietControl noise cancellation helps reduce distractions whether you’re traveling, working, or enjoying your favorite content. In Aware Mode, ActiveSense technology automatically softens spikes in noise for greater comfort while keeping you aware of your surroundings.

More modes

In addition to Quiet Mode for full noise cancelling and Aware Mode for transparency, these headphones now include Immersion, Cinema Mode, and ANR off. Cinema Mode enhances video content with an immersive experience for clear dialogue and more nuanced sound.

Better call quality

Improved background noise reduction blocks environmental noise to ensure every word of what you say sounds crystal clear.

Full-day battery

Listen for up to 24 hours with full noise cancelling engaged, or up to 18 hours with TrueSpatial Immersive Audio.* Fully charge in 3 hours**, quick charge in 15 minutes for 2.5 hours of playback**, or conveniently charge while you listen.

Improved on-product controls

The refreshed design of the headphones includes more intuitive button placement. Power on/off, play/pause music, control volume, cycle listening modes, get Bluetooth® information, and take calls — all from the earcups themselves.
