Bose QuietComfort II Headphones Launch in China for Around $341

Bose has released the QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Headphones II in China, targeting commuters and travelers who need reliable noise isolation. The update matters because the new model introduces immersive spatial audio and improved fit compensation for glasses wearers. Buyers looking for better audio immersion without sacrificing comfort should note these changes.

Immersive spatial audio and Bluetooth 5.4 join the noise-cancelling platform

The QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Headphones II build on Bose's established noise-cancelling platform with updated connectivity and processing. Bose equipped the device with Bluetooth 5.4 for more stable wireless connections and a six-microphone system for clearer voice capture. The hardware retains physical buttons for media and mode control, which many users prefer over touch interfaces.

• Price: 2299 CNY
• Bluetooth Version: 5.4
• Battery Life (Standard): 24 hours
• Battery Life (Spatial Audio On): 18 hours
• Fast Charge: 15 min for 2.5 hours

Battery performance remains a strong point with up to 24 hours of playback on a single charge. Enabling the new TrueSpatial immersive audio reduces that runtime to approximately 18 hours. The headphones support 24bit/48kHz lossless audio via USB-C and offer a fast charge feature that provides 2.5 hours of playback from just 15 minutes of charging.

Noise cancellation technology now includes ActiveSense to handle sudden loud noises and optimize for fit gaps caused by hats or hairstyles. The spatial audio system offers three distinct modes: static, dynamic, and cinema. Bose lists the QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Headphones II in China for 2299 CNY (around $341).

This launch positions the QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Headphones II as a direct update to Bose's previous flagship noise-cancelling line. The inclusion of spatial audio modes and Bluetooth 5.4 marks a clear hardware evolution. The product is currently available in the Chinese market at the listed price.
