Two years after the release of its top vacuum outbred headphones bose regeneration Headphones QuietComfort 2.
The first revision was on a par with the main competitors from Sony and Apple, it was praised and unrestrainedly tested, so it’s interesting to look at the sequel.
Below we look at the features of the novelty, which are not always taken into account when developing applications.
For example, why the QuietComfort 2 headphones Right turns down the volume, why do you need a noise reduction setting and there is at least some room for growth without unnecessary advertising gimmicks in, obviously, previously ideal listeners.
New design with stability
Only one QuietComfort Earbuds 2 is included and their case contains a short USB‑A to USB‑C cable, two oversized ear cushions (WITH And l, M already worn) and three pairs of outer rubber bands with petals for optimal fit depending on the shape of the ears.
The volume changes through swipes up and down, one app pauses or continues a track, a dual app switches to the entire song, holding turns noise reduction on and off. Everything is standard, provided and without surprises.
In the dedicated Bose Music app, on the long app on the left earcup, you can activate the voice assistant activation or leave temporary listening.
Vacuum nozzles and rubber rims for fixation come in three sizes
The capsules themselves protected from moisture, with some he calmly runs in the rain and works out in the gym. Water and sweat do not interfere with them.
On a single charge, the headphones lasted about 6 hours., as expected, with 20 minutes of fast charging, they last for 2 hours. Case consumption of three increased charges, which in total gives 24 hours usage.
The case charges via USB‑C and does not support wireless power.
Completely self-contained sound calibration in your ear
QuietComfort Earbuds 2 promise personal activity not through the shape of the ears, but through the application echolocation through the built-in microphones.
After executing the application, you only need to do one “run test” setup. When you first put on the headphones, they reproduce the complex and booming sound of a futuristic tug that has a quality from the walls of the channel, which matters for built-in dynamic microphones next to and reads the system.
As a manufacturer this data uses algorithms to improve noise reduction, performance and listening experiencewhich are now tailored to your anatomy.
The key feature is that for this setting you do not need to look for special settings, get a camera, scan your ears blindly. The procedure takes place automatically. Like sneakers with laces that tie themselves.
Muffles voices, clearly conveys the environment
The case is slightly larger than from AirPods Pro
As expected, there is also an active noise suppressionAnd lightthrough which you can hear that you are not.
One of the modes will work anyway. There is no way to turn off both of these features and use Ambient Sound Lock in passive mode. I won’t say it matters, because I always use one or the other on my AirPods.
Each earphone has meaning four microphones (eight in total), two of the possible ones for your voice, and the other two study the data outside and inside the ear to balance the noise cancellation.
The exposure mode is called Aware, in our assessment, is closest to being translated as “informed”. Here, loud vehicle noise above 85dB is muted if ActiveSense is left on in the app, but there are voices, noise, and other neutral ambient sounds needed to gauge what’s going on around.
Then there are several modes, the names of which indicate the degree of noise reduction and speed. For example, the mode Relax slightly causes growth, and Focuson the contrary, adding noise reduction.
The noise reduction mode is called Quiet, “silence”. It well suppresses not only the urban rumble, which competitors can also cope with. Its main feature is that the volume of conversations is noticeably reduced people passing by, interfering with employees, calling fellow travelers, screams of children and, in general, any other human sick person.
Now let’s look at stellar headphones.
More accents and melody
The QuietComfort Earbuds 2 are in the mid-to-high segment of the earbuds and are expected to be rich in color.
The signature Bose sound remains here with its slightly “raised” weighty basses.
Compared to the first incidence, now there are more saturated highs and mediums, the situation is felt wider. Instruments are naturally better separated from each other, and their brightness can be compared to the feeling of a live performance.
When worn normally in quiet environments, the bass is more powerful, and for good reason.
Usually, when you turn down the volume, in headphones this does not happen for all frequencies. Due to the fact that our ears perceive worse bass and higher, they cannot be reduced as much as the average, otherwise the scene will begin to lose fullness. Bose adapts algorithms to these featurestherefore, even at a quiet sound level, the music does not lose its details and thoughtful effect.
The high frequencies practically shimmer, revealing the “brilliance” of the songs, it produces fullness and grace even at high volumes, where another complexity is achieved by that purity of the jet.
With countless headphones, you can hear the deafness and rudeness of compositions that sometimes slip in competitors in the same price category.
Application adjusts bass, noise and control
The Bose Music app doesn’t feel like much (apart from one thing, more on that at the end of the section), but it’s well made and gives you the set of controls you’d expect from a premium product.
It’s easy to add a couple of new batteries here, upgrade them, switch from laptop to smartphone, select and adjust noise-canceling and power modes.
There is a simplified version of the equalizer, where three groups are separately configured: high, medium and low frequency. Customization is not professional, but lovers of bass or a more balanced sound will do. For those not quite familiar with the sliders, there are four sound presets with obvious names for bass and treble boost/reduction.
As previously mentioned, left hearing touchpad detection, eavesdropping touch detection, or voice assistant access are immediately available.
Interestingly, unlike the solutions of other participants, there is a built-in “hub” to which streaming and radio services are connected.
Right in the app, you can select Deezer, Spotify, Pandora, iHeart radio and more to speed up your music transfer.
Signature sound with no surprises
Bose did not make the “British mistake” and in their second version of the flagship outbred pendants they did not impose unnecessary advertising “body kits for the sake of body kits”.
IN Bose QuietComfort 2 headphones for 34,990 rubles, the innovation turned out to be the case: again they pulled up the noise reduction to the international level and even a little better, made the sound cleaner, added a simple personal vibration and balanced the tone when using the volume to achieve a bright sound even at a quiet level.
The application, unlike the representatives, is not lame and makes it possible to configure the sound, operating mode, noise reduction and control through the implement interface, connect your music services and simply conveniently switch between devices.
And, most importantly, all these positive aspects work organically together. This is exactly the kind of simplicity without cheap husks that you expect from the legendary sound company and its flagship in its class.
