Score breakdown
Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.
Pros
- Best noise cancelling at its price, adaptive with a slider
- Comfortable for hours
- Lively, even sound with a wide stage
- Lossless wired listening over USB-C
- Near-total silence on the subway and in cafes
- Enjoyable bass for electronic and hip-hop
- Longer battery than the first model
Cons
- Value weaker than some rivals
- App is plain
- Fine detail good rather than best-in-class
- Mid-range guitars can sound flat
- Snug clamp may tire bigger heads
- Ear cups feel less premium than the price
- Awkward to fit in the case

TechRadarOct 2025
Editor's Choice: a small but sensible update that keeps it at the top for noise cancelling among premium headphones (UK/US model).
-
GizmodoOct 2025
Noise cancelling is the star; sound and comfort are good but not the best, with Sony's XM6 ahead on both (US model tested).

DigitecNov 2025
A refinement, not a redesign: balanced warm sound, very effective ANC and excellent comfort (EU model).
Reported by many owners
Common complaints
- A February 2026 firmware update took away button-based device switching and the spoken battery level, and Bose said it will not bring them back or allow a rollback
