Bose’s latest ANC earbuds offer premium features at a reasonable price

Bose
adopted
the
Ultra
branding
for
its
top-end

wireless
earbuds
last
year,
cleverly
making
room
for
a
new
pair
of
slightly
more
affordable
ANC
earbuds
in
its
QuietComfort
range.
These
earbuds
are
finally
making
it
to
the
market
today,
and
they
offer
pretty
much
all
the
features
you
get
on
the
flagship
model
at
a
lower
price.

The
new
QuietComfort
Earbuds
share
their
name
with
Bose’s
flagship
earbuds
from
2020,
but
they
feature
a
new
design
and
upgraded
hardware.
Bose
has
gone
with
a
more
compact
design
with
the
latest
model,
which
makes
it
look
far
less
obnoxious
than
its
flagship
earbuds
from
the
past.
Despite
the
smaller
size,
the
company
has
equipped
the
new
earbuds
with
six
microphones
to
offer
impressive
noise
cancellation
and
better
voice
clarity
in
calls.

Although
the
QuietComfort
Earbuds
don’t
offer
Snapdragon
Sound
and
aptX
Lossless
support
like
the
Ultra
model,
they
do
come
with
a
few
premium
features,
like
a
wireless
charging
case
with
fast
charging
support
that
offers
up
to
three
hours
of
playback
with
a
quick
20-minute
charge.
Bose
claims
that
the
earbuds
can
last
up
to
8.5
hours
on
a
single
charge,
with
the
charging
case
offering
an
additional
2.5
charges.

The
earbuds
also
include
an
IPX4
rating
for
water
and
sweat
resistance,
Bluetooth
5.3
with
Multipoint
support,
multiple
ANC
modes,
voice
command
support,
a
remote
selfie
feature,
and
a
low
latency
mode
for
gaming.
The
QuietComfort
Earbuds
are
compatible
with
Bose’s
QC
Earbuds
app,
which
has
a
five-band
equalizer
to
help
you
tune
the
sound
to
your
preference.
The
app
also
offers
a
Voice
ID
feature
for
personalized
audio
calibration.

The
new
Bose
QuietComfort
Earbuds
will
be
available
through
the
company’s
website
starting
today.
You
can
pick
them
up
for
$179
in
three
color
options:
Black,
White
Smoke,
and
Chilled
Lilac.
