Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen)

Bose specifically re-engineered this second generation's noise cancellation to better compensate for the imperfect seal that glasses frames create — a small but genuinely useful fix for a common real-world complaint about over-ear ANC headphones. 24 hours of battery life is respectable but trails newer entrants like Sony and Marshall, reflecting Bose's traditional emphasis on cancellation and comfort quality over sheer battery numbers.
