Don't get the new Bose QuietComfort 2nd Gen — Gen 1 is currently just $169 for Prime Day
Bose just released the QuietComfort Headphones Gen 2, but you should buy Gen 1 instead... especially as they're just $169 right now.
Bose QuietComfort Headphones 2nd Gen are currently priced at $169 for Prime Day, a significant 53% discount. The new generation boasts the same comfort, ANC, and lightweight design as the first generation. However, the 2nd Gen introduces Immersive Audio, a feature similar to spatial audio or digital Dolby Atmos. While some may appreciate this technology, others might prefer the 1st Gen for its familiar sound profile.
A notable omission in both versions is wear detection, which can lead to accidental battery depletion. Despite this minor drawback, the 2nd Gen's lower price makes it a compelling choice, especially for Prime Day bargain hunters.
