Bose's latest ANC earbuds come with something you probably wouldn't expect (it begins with W and rhymes with 'tires')

Bose's latest ANC earbuds, surprisingly, come with wires attached. These wired earbuds offer lossless audio at a maximum of 24-bit/48kHz for the price of £99, equivalent to about $131 or AU$186. Despite the inclusion of wires, Bose has managed to integrate active noise cancellation into its wired earbuds, which can be controlled through an inline remote.

The three noise control levels—off, Aware and Quiet—take advantage of Bose's four-mic QuietControl system to process and eliminate ambient sound. The wireless-free design allows for instant connection via USB-C, supporting lossless audio at high quality and low latency. The earbuds also feature IPX4 water resistance and come in three colors—Black, White Smoke and Dewdrop Mint—with different sizes of wingtips and ear tips.

Available for purchase from October 15, 2026, the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds provide a unique blend of retro charm and modern technology.
