The $80 discount makes the combination of superior noise cancellation, long-wearing comfort, and immersive spatial sound more worthwhile, especially given the increased competition this year from models like the Sony WH-1000XM6 .

Bose hasn’t changed the formula much in the second generation—you still get the same circumaural design with soft ear cushions and a firm yet comfortable clip for a secure fit. The only noticeable change is that the frame now has a glossy metal finish instead of a matte one, giving it a slightly more premium look without changing the feel.
The features are extensive and generally well-implemented—these headphones support Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint pairing, so you can stay connected to your laptop and phone simultaneously without changing settings. There’s also a USB-C port for wired connectivity, enabling lossless audio, something many competitors still don’t offer. Furthermore, they automatically turn on when you put them on and enter power-saving mode when low on battery, a small improvement that’s quickly noticeable in everyday use. Battery life is rated at 30 hours with active noise cancellation enabled, which is on par with most premium models. Bose also allows you to charge and listen to music simultaneously via USB-C, a practical addition for long work sessions.
In terms of performance, the noise-canceling works well in a variety of settings, softening airplane noise, muting bus engines, and pushing most cafe conversations into the background so you don’t have to constantly adjust the volume to stay tuned, according to a PCMag review . As for sound, these headphones deliver a rich, bass-heavy profile while maintaining vocal detail. Tracks with strong lows, such as electronic music or hip-hop, sound deep and energetic without overwhelming the mix, and vocals sound rich, although the slightly muted midrange means guitars and some instruments don’t cut through as clearly. Furthermore, while the companion app offers noise-canceling presets and modes, the simple three-band equalizer doesn’t offer much in the way of fine-tuning the sound.
