Black U.S. Bose QuietComfort Headphones, the generation introduced in 2023 and listed by Bose alongside the 2026 second generation. Its documented distinction here is an included 2.5 mm-to-3.5 mm cable that can carry audio when the headphones are powered off; ANC and Active EQ do not continue in that passive arrangement.

- A current-listed Bose option for someone who wants ANC over Bluetooth and a separate passive analog fallback when the headphone battery is depleted or the headset is off. Bose documents two-device multipoint and up to 24 hours with ANC on.
Tradeoffs to weigh
- Passive cable playback does not preserve active noise cancellation or Active EQ, and controls are disabled when powered off or depleted. The cable's inline microphone is a separate path from the headset microphone; Bluetooth and the headset's mic pickup turn off when the cable is connected. Bose confirms 24 hours with ANC on, but does not give an ANC-on runtime for analog listening. Its public charge-time specifications conflict between 2 hours and 2.5 hours, so this record leaves charge duration unknown rather than selecting one.
