Bose’s new QuietComfort Earbuds and Smart Soundbar are both big upgrades

Today, Bose unveils a new product in its QuietComfort line: the new QuietComfort Earbuds. The company says these new buds are designed for “everyday use, featuring proven, powerful audio with renowned noise cancellation, customizable tap controls, seamless voice commands to make calls or selfies at the moment, a wireless charging case, and up to 8.5 hours of staying power.”

Bose states that the new QuietComfort Earbuds are said to feature the best-in-class noise cancellation thanks to the three microphones in each bud, which provide optimal noise cancellation and voice pickup. With an IPX4 rating, these earbuds are also water- and sweat-resistant, making them great for daily commutes and workouts.

A trio of ear tips and stability band sizes allows users to customize the buds to the shape of their ears, ensuring there’s a proper fit for everyone. In addition, with 8.5 hours of playtime on a single charge, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds have a wireless charging case with 2.5 charges. Bose says it only takes 1.5 hours to reach full strength, and a quick 20-minute charge can provide up to three hours of additional battery life.

These earbuds come with Bluetooth 5.3, meaning you can stay up to 30 feet from your phone. This Bluetooth standard also enables multipoint connection, allowing seamless switching between devices without interrupting your listening experience.

Finally, the Bose QC Earbuds app can control Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. From there, you can customize touch control, switch between ANC settings from Quiet to Aware, or toggle off for a passive listening experience. A five-band adjustable EQ setting lets you dial in the sound and control bass, mid-range, and treble levels. You can even enter low Latency Audio mode to enjoy games and movies with synchronized audio and track how much juice your buds have left with Battery Prediction.
