Among the most notable developments in this Quietcomfort Ultra, there is listening to lossless listening via USB-C, a first in the range. Users can take advantage of an uncompressed sound until 16-bit/48 kHz, with the added bonus of a significant reduced latency for video game enthusiasts-but in wired. Bose does not abandon traditional connectors: a 2.5 mm jack remains available for those who need it.
More autonomy and a richer sound
The audio experience also wins in depth. According to the manufacturer, the bass is more consistent at high volume, while the treble is more natural. The manufacturer also inaugurates a new “Cinema” mode, which widens the sound scene and highlights the dialogues, a function designed for both films and podcasts or audio books.
In terms of noise reduction, the “Aware” mode improves: it automatically adjusts insulation during sound peaks, such as passing a bus. Another novelty, the possibility of completely cutting the ANC, which saves the battery.
The second generation of Quietcomfort Ultra is now posted up to 30 hours of autonomy with activated ANC, and up to 45 hours by deactivating this function. With immersive audio mode and the monitoring of head movements, autonomy remains comfortable at 11 p.m.
The helmet also introduces an automatic ignition system: it connects as soon as it is placed on the head, and goes into prolonged standby once removed or stored in its case. Bose thus promises several months of standby without recharge.
Connectivity also evolves with the passage to Bluetooth 5.4, a multipoint compatible and which supports the SBC, AAC and APTX adaptive codecs. Android users benefit from simplified pairing via Google Fast Pair, while quick access to Spotify is provided by Spotify Tap.
Finally, the design gains elegance thanks to more comfortable metal finishes and pads. The helmet always folds flat, practical for travel.
The Bose Quietcomfort Ultra Headphones (2nd generation) is offered in pre -order today at a Price of $ 449; It will cost around € 500 in France. It is a slightly increasing price compared to the first version. Marketing will start on October 2 in four versions: Black, White Smoke, Driftwood Sand and Midnight Violet.
