Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
Bose builds these around one mission, silence, and the refreshed QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds deliver the most effective real-world noise cancellation in the category, with the company's distinctive Immersive Audio adding a convincing sense of spatial width to ordinary stereo. The second-gen update finally adds aptX Lossless for compatible Snapdragon Sound phones and improves battery, addressing two of the original's biggest gaps. They're priced at the top of the market and the immersive mode eats battery, but for frequent flyers and open-office sufferers who rank quiet above all, nothing isolates better.
A good time to buy — it's 6.6% above its 12-month low, 7.6% below its 90-day average, and it dropped 2% this month.
