Bose has launched a new pair of wired earbuds with active noise cancelling (ANC), priced at $99. These earbuds connect via USB-C and work with almost any device featuring a USB-C port, thanks to Bose's internal, proprietary digital signal processing (DSP). The earbuds output a consistent 24-bit signal, regardless of the source input.
Bose is known for its Quiet Comfort line of headphones, but this new release marks a return to basics. The wired earbuds require a USB-C connection, deviating from the 3.5mm output preferred by many wired enthusiasts. Consequently, users cannot utilize their own DAC/amp setup with these earbuds. Despite this limitation, Bose claims the ANC-equipped wired earbuds provide a viable solution for those seeking ANC without the concern of battery life.
Each earbud houses two microphones to facilitate active noise cancellation. Bose offers two modes: Quiet Mode, which effectively blocks out most ambient noise, and Aware Mode, which functions as a transparency setting. Additionally, users have the option to disable ANC altogether. The new Bose wired earbuds are currently available for pre-order at $99, with the choice of Black or White Smoke color options.
Pre-ordered units are set to begin shipping on October 15, upon order through Bose's official website and Best Buy's online store.
