Why hearing less lets you hear more
Slip on a pair of QuietComfort 2 headphones and hear your music come alive. Decades of Bose research combine with our Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphone technology to deliver the ultimate in audio performance. This award-winning technology electronically identifies and reduces the unwanted noise around you. So you hear more of what you want to hear … and less of the tiresome sounds that have so often distracted you.

Proprietary TriPort® headphone technology also helps give you our best headphone audio performance while keeping the design compact and streamlined. Unlike conventional, bulky noise reduction headphones, QuietComfort 2 headphones are lightweight and comfortable. Listening to your favorite music, you may even forget you have them on.

Improved portability and a new design
Our original QuietComfort headphones were designed for airline travel, but proved effective wherever noise was a problem: on buses or trains, in the office, even at home. We enhanced the convenience and portability features of the QuietComfort 2 headphones to make them even easier to enjoy in a variety of environments.

Whether you take them on a trip or to the office, your QuietComfort 2 headphones will fold flat to store easily in a bag or briefcase. A single detachable audio cable gives you easy access to portable players, home stereos and in-flight entertainment systems, all with less tangling than two-cable designs. That same cable can be removed so your headphones can go "cordless" when you simply want the benefits of noise reduction.
