ZDNET's key takeaways Bose returns with the midrange QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen).They feature key upgrades to audio and ANC performance.These headphones retain their $359 price tag.Premium headphones are cool, but for some people, a solid pair of midrange headphones can be a better fit. Bose's QuietComfort Headphones are a great example, and nearly 10 months after releasing the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen), the company returns with the .Bose gifted its midrange headphones with several key upgrades previously exclusive to its premium headphones, including USB-C audio, adaptive noise-canceling technology, and spatial audio. The second-gen QuietComfort Headphones retain their $359 price tag -- for now. Upgraded audio and ANC Aside from their price, name, and 24-hour maximum battery life, the second-gen QuietComfort Headphones don't have much in common with previous generations. Bose upgraded several audio features of the QuietComfort Headphones, including USB-C audio. Users can listen in 24-bit/48kHz lossless resolution via USB-C and charge the headphones while they're in use. The QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) retain their 3.5mm jack, so you can still plug them into analog systems, such as CD players and airplane infotainment systems. Also: How spatial audio works on headphones and speakers - and the best way to experience it Bose also fitted its midrange headphones with its proprietary spatial audio rendering technology, Immersive Audio. Users can access Still, Motion, and Cinema modes that use Bose's TrueSpatial technology to deliver an appropriate spatial audio experience for music, podcasts, movies, and more. I usually don't prefer Bose's -- or any manufacturer's -- proprietary spatial audio upmix, as it can come across as overly digitized and unnatural. However, it's a nice addition to headphones that Bose has kept relatively simple for several generations. The second-gen QuietComfort Headphones sport more intuitive noise-canceling capabilities, with two additional microphones, upgraded adaptive feedforward performance, adaptive noise cancellation, improved voice isolation, and the ability to turn off the headphones' noise cancellation. Also: Bose Lifestyle Ultra vs. Sonos Era 100: I compared both smart speakers, and this one wins Feedforward microphones are located outside the earcups and detect and cancel environmental noise before it reaches your ears. According to Bose, the microphones' improved performance will benefit those who wear hats and glasses when using the headphones, as the technology will compensate for an uneven fit. Bose gifted the second-gen QuietComfort Headphones with ActiveSense, the company's adaptive noise-cancellation technology that can swiftly suppress sudden, disruptive noises. A new design The QuietComfort family's design has remained largely unchanged since Bose released the QuietComfort 45 headphones in 2021. Previous generations sported a fully plastic headband with perforated adjusters, three buttons on the right earcup for playback control, a power button on the left earcup, and a slider on the right earcup for Bluetooth connectivity. Also: Sony vs. Bose: My buying advice after listening to flagship headphones from both brands The second-gen QuietComfort Headphones now have smooth headband adjusters, a synthetic leather headband pad, oval-shaped earcups, a more relaxed clamping force, and buttons dedicated to playback and audio modes that are easier to feel. Preorders for the QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) will begin on August 8, with the headphones available in Black and White Smoke, plus three limited-edition colors: Eucalyptus Green, Dewdrop Mint, and Rosewood Mauve.
