Used price spread on eBay

Before you buy a used Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)

  • Confirm it is the 2nd Gen, not the 2023 original
  • Test wired USB-C audio with a phone or laptop
  • Check the ear cushions for cracking or flattening
  • Ask how long the battery lasts with noise canceling on
  • Make sure the case and USB-C cable are included

New, used or refurbished?

Buy new if you want the full warranty, a guaranteed battery and an easy return, or if the used saving shown above is small. Buy used when the gap is large and the seller has strong feedback and a return policy. Refurbished sits in the middle: a few dollars more than used, usually with a warranty and a tested unit.
