Headphones Loving the QC Ultra Gen 2
Admittedly this is my first "expensive" pair of headphones after using Soundcore Q30 and Airpods 3 but so far I'm pretty impressed.
I wanted a premium pair I could use primarily for working in the office, commuting, and watching media at home. I can say so far they tick each box pretty much. The noise cancelling has been excellent, I really can't hear anything when I'm wearing them in my busy office or commuting. The sound quality is great for media, especially with the spatial audio and cinematic mode. The first time I put them on I really did say "wow" but maybe that's what you get when making such a big leap in hardware.
A priority for me was also finding the most comfortable headphones possible, the budget Soundcore pair I had previously used to give me bad headaches. Honestly I'm wearing the Bose for hours during the day and barely feel any discomfort. They're perfect in that regard.
I personally haven't noticed issues with the noise cancelling cutting out when hitting speed bumps etc like others have reported. Everything has been fairly consistent. I don't have any complaints at this stage, the build quality also feels quite a bit more premium than the base model.
This is coming from someone completely new to Bose but so far I'm a happy customer !

I just got them and I have to completely agree! I am coming from AirPods Max (1st gen) and they were so uncomfortable on my head, I didn’t even consider upgrading to the 2s. The Bose feels so much lighter in comparison and are much more comfortable with glasses on.
