You’re not gonna need a dongle anymore if you’ve got a newer iPhone.
Good news for people who love powerful active noise cancellation, aka ANC: Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are back, and they’re getting a few notable upgrades. The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) will open up for preorder starting next week on Sept. 10, and if you’re a fan of listening to headphones wired instead of wireless, this is probably the pair for you.
According to Bose, you can hook the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) via USB-C instead of a 3.5mm jack, which is objectively a lot more convenient given a lot of devices have removed the traditional headphone jack. That’s an especially big win for anyone who wants to plug their headphones into their phone, which—unless you’re a few generations behind with iPhone like me—should also be using a USB-C connection. Like the recently released and very similarly named Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen), Bose’s new over-ear headphones also have improved ANC.
