Key Features
Modern, updated design
A sleek, streamlined take on the original noise cancelling headphones. All-new pill-shaped earcups and an adjustable sliding headband hit contemporary design trends and modern aesthetics. They’re also available in fashion-forward two-tone colourways to complete any look.
Comfortable fit
The new wider headband adds more of the supple, synthetic leather found on the earcups, striking the right balance of clamp force and comfort for a secure fit with a lightweight feel.
Improved audio performance
The addition of Bose TrueSpatial Technology gives listeners a more natural, immersive experience – no matter the content. What you hear is taken out of your head and placed in front for a wider, fuller soundstage. QC Headphones (2nd Gen) now also feature high-fidelity lossless audio delivered by USB connection.
Legendary noise cancelling
Legendary Bose Quiet Control noise cancelling technology includes updated ActiveSense Tech for adaptive acoustic noise reduction to smooth unwanted spikes in noise when listening in Aware Mode.
More modes
