Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) Offer Improved Design and Noise-Canceling Performance

In a departure from its predecessor, Bose's new QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) offer design changes, updated features, slightly improved noise-canceling performance, and a small bump up in sound quality. The headphones weigh about 10 grams less than their predecessor and feature a redesigned headband with more padding on the crown and smooth adjustment sliders. The earpads are also more plush and oval-shaped for improved passive noise isolation. Other design changes include a power button moved from the exterior of the right earcup to the underside of the left earcup, and three new limited-edition colors: eucalyptus green, dewdrop mint, and rosewood mauve.
