Bose's new QuietComfort Ultra headphones give Sony and Apple a run for their money


Bose's QuietComfort Ultra headphones (2nd gen) promise to live up to their quiet, comfort, and ultra namesakes with plenty of upgrades in almost every category.

The company's adaptive noise cancellation feature is called ActiveSense, and users can activate it when listening in Aware mode. However, unlike Apple's over-ear headphones, the QuietComfort Ultra 2 will immediately enter a low-power standby mode when removed from your head and laid flat -- you don't need to put them in their case. Bose has expanded its Immersive Audio feature to include a separate tuning for dialogue in movies, TV shows, podcasts, and audiobooks.
