Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) – Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Over-Ear Headphones with Spatial Audio, Adaptive Sound, and 24H Battery Life – Midnight Violet

When Bose announced this generation it launched two finishes as permanent stock and two as limited editions. QuietComfort Ultra Midnight Violet is one of the limited pair — a deep purple that the company produced as a defined run rather than a colour that stays in the catalogue indefinitely.

QuietComfort Ultra Midnight Violet: Limited Edition, Straight From the Announcement

Bose stated it plainly on 5 September 2025: the headphones would be offered in Black, White Smoke, and two new limited-edition colour options. Midnight Violet was one of them.

Limited runs are produced once. When the colour clears retail it is not reintroduced, and the only route afterwards is the second-hand market. That is worth knowing if the shade is the reason you want this pair rather than a standard finish. Details are in the official Bose press release.

QuietComfort Ultra Midnight Violet: What the Purple Actually Looks Like

It is not a bright or pastel purple. Midnight Violet is deep and heavily desaturated, close to black in dim light and unmistakably violet under daylight or a bright lamp. Reviewers described it as bold, and it is — but bold in the way a dark aubergine is bold rather than a neon.

That makes it wearable in situations where a saturated colour would not be. It does not read as a novelty finish across a meeting table.

QuietComfort Ultra Midnight Violet: Polished Mirror Yokes

The most visible physical change from the first generation is the metal. Bose swapped the matte yokes for a polished mirror finish, and against a dark violet the reflection is the whole design statement — the purple absorbs light, the metal throws it back.

Ear cushions and headband are protein leather, the cushions are removable and replaceable, and the whole assembly weighs around 244 g.

QuietComfort Ultra Midnight Violet: Who Midnight Violet Suits

This is for anyone who has looked at a shelf of black headphones and wanted something with an opinion. It is instantly identifiable as yours in a shared office, gym or student house, and being a mid-to-dark tone it hides everyday marks far better than the pale finishes do.

The honest counterpoint is resale and longevity of taste: a strong colour dates faster than black and appeals to a narrower buyer later on. If the headphones are primarily a work tool, Black is the safer choice with identical performance.

QuietComfort Ultra Midnight Violet: The Technology Is Identical

Nothing inside changes with the finish. You get lossless audio over USB-C, the new Cinema Mode for video, Immersive Audio for music, the rewritten ActiveSense algorithm in Aware Mode, CustomTune ear measurement, and up to 30 hours of battery — 23 with spatial processing running.
