Bose is well known for comfortable over-ear headphones and strong noise cancellation. However, battery life can vary across models.

The Bose model provides up to 30 hours with noise cancellation, while several competing headphones can offer 40, 55, 60, 70 or even 100 hours depending on usage and settings.

BGR used the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen as the comparison point, with its claimed 30-hour battery life and $449 official price. The comparison included wireless over-ear headphones with higher manufacturer-rated battery life, along with factors such as features, build quality and price. Actual battery life can vary depending on settings, listening volume, connectivity and other usage conditions, so manufacturer figures serve as estimates rather than guaranteed results.
