Technology
Bose just announced the second-generation QuietComfort headphones, bringing a comfier fit and smarter noise cancelation to the table.
The $359 headphones land for preorder on August 8, 2026, and promise a better listening experience whether you're on the go.
TrueSpatial audio, USB-C lossless, 24-hour battery
The big upgrade is Bose's TrueSpatial Immersive Audio: think surround sound vibes for music, videos, and podcasts.
Active noise cancelation now adapts to your environment and even works better if you wear glasses.
You also get Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint pairing, USB-C for lossless playback, easier controls, and up to 24 hours of battery life (or 18 with immersive audio).
Plus, a quick 15-minute charge gives you about 2.5 hours of playtime, even while charging.
