I‘m selling bose quietcomfort ultra headphones 2nd generation in the color 'sand'. The headphones have not been used (just for trial once) and are in perfect condition.
This €310 asking price for the used Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 is ambitious, clearly exceeding the 75th percentile of €274 from our recent EUR listings database, where the median sits at €203 and the 25th percentile is €150. While new first-gen models have dipped to roughly €260 (converted from $284), this second-generation unit is priced well above both the typical used market and current aggressive new discounts, making it a tough ask unless the condition is pristine.
The QuietComfort Ultra 2 remains a top-tier choice for its class-leading active noise cancellation and immersive audio, delivering up to 30 hours of battery life and the convenience of pass-through charging. If this listing includes original cables, accessories, and confirms original-owner condition with no wear, it could still represent a worthwhile opportunity for a buyer seeking the latest refinement over the first-gen model, but the premium pricing demands absolute confidence in the item’s quality.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bose Corporation traces its roots to 1964, when MIT professor Amar Gopal Bose founded the company in Natick, Massachusetts, after growing disillusioned with the poor performance of a high-end stereo system he purchased as a graduate student. Driven by a passion for replicating the immersive qualities of live music through rigorous acoustic research, Bose launched the venture with initial contracts for the U.S. military and NASA, emphasizing innovative speaker designs that prioritized indirect, reverberant sound over direct radiation. This American heritage, rooted in psychoacoustics and engineering excellence, has defined the brand's pursuit of "Better Sound Through Research."
Bose excels in consumer and professional audio categories, renowned for its home audio systems, premium speakers like the iconic 901 Series, and pioneering noise-canceling headphones first prototyped in the 1980s for pilots. The lineup extends to vehicle sound systems, portable Bluetooth speakers, and professional installations, but steers clear of niche hi-fi components such as amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or cables, focusing instead on integrated, user-friendly solutions that blend advanced signal processing with spatial audio reproduction.
Positioned as a premium mid-tier powerhouse in the global market, Bose commands widespread appeal among discerning buyers seeking accessible high-performance audio without audiophile esoterica. Its reputation for innovation and reliability has built a loyal following, though purists occasionally critique its measured sound signature, cementing Bose as a dominant force in mainstream hi-fi rather than high-end boutique or vintage realms.
