When Bose launched the QuietComfort II last year, I found them to be the best noise-canceling earbuds, easily surpassing other headphones on the market. Building on this success, Bose has now enhanced the beloved QC II with the addition of spatial audio in the latest QuietComfort Ultra.
For a limited time, the QuietComfort Ultra is available at a $50 discount, now just $249, while the QuietComfort II is reduced by $100, priced at only $199. This makes it the ideal time to experience Bose’s superior noise-canceling technology at a more accessible price.
What sets the QC Ultra and QC II apart from other noise-canceling earbuds is the company’s CustomTune technology, which tunes sound specifically for your ear. The result is an undisturbed listening experience, even in the noisiest environments. Both models’ sound quality is equally impressive, delivering an immersive and detailed audio performance underlined by robust bass, making them a perfect choice for audiophiles.
The Ultra series adds spatial audio technology, which elevates music listening by creating an ultra-wide sound field, giving the impression of being at a live concert with the performers in front of you. In my testing, there was a noticeable difference when spatial audio was on. It went from a more flat-encompassing sound to a more 3D effect.
You can’t go wrong with either pair. So it really comes down to whether that concert-hall listening experience is worth an extra $50.
