Bose QuietComfort – Bose’s second-generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones—now available for $379 after a $70 discount at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart—bring improved noise cancellation, lossless USB‑C audio, longer battery life, and travel-friendly foldable design.
Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra are the kind of headphones people pack when they know the flight won’t be quiet. This time, they’re also easier to justify on price.
The second-generation QuietComfort Ultra headphones, which fold down for simpler storage and come designed for travel, have dropped to a new low of $379, down $70 from $449. The deal is live at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.
Bose’s over-ear upgrade keeps the foldable design from the predecessor, making the headphones easier to pack in a carry-on. But the improvements are more than cosmetic. The second-gen model adds better noise cancellation. supports lossless audio over a USB‑C cable for higher-quality sound from compatible devices. and introduces a Cinema Mode aimed at making movies and TV shows feel more immersive while keeping dialogue easier to hear.
There’s also a refresh to how the headphones handle the world around you. Bose says the improved transparency mode surpasses the predecessor’s capabilities, including reducing sudden loud noises.
Battery life is another concrete win. Bose lists up to 30 hours on a single charge, a six-hour increase over the first-generation model—exactly the kind of difference that matters when you’re stuck somewhere between check-in and arrival.
The convenience features are built for constant moving. The headphones can automatically enter a low-power standby mode when they’re stored in the included case or laid flat. They also power on and reconnect to a paired device when you put them on.
Comfort hasn’t been ignored either. The model retains soft ear cups and a comfortable, lightweight design meant for hours of wear. Multipoint Bluetooth pairing is still included. letting you stay connected to two devices at the same time—so you can watch video on a laptop while handling calls on a phone.
At $379, the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra look like a rare travel upgrade that pairs a familiar Bose comfort and foldable practicality with tangible new audio and battery improvements—without asking you to pay the full $449 price tag.

$70 off for headphones? That’s basically free compared to how much airlines charge for silence.
I swear Bose always has deals right when I’m about to buy something else. 30 hours battery life sounds made up though, like my AirPods never last that long.
Wait so Cinema Mode is just for movies on your phone? I thought noise canceling meant you can finally ignore people on flights. Also USB-C lossless… does that require a special cable or what? I’m confused.
Transparency mode that “reduces sudden loud noises” sounds like it’s trying to stop screaming? Not sure if that’s good or just more tech messing with your ears. Still might be worth $379 if it folds right for carry-on, but my luck with electronics deals is never good.
