Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds

Noise Cancellation Without a Battery Routine

Bose's Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds bring active noise cancellation back to a plug-in design. The 4.2-foot cable ends in USB-C and draws power directly from a phone, tablet, or computer, so there is no pairing step and no earbud battery to charge before listening.

Quiet, Aware, or Fully Off

Two microphones in each earbud support three listening choices. Quiet mode reduces outside sound, Aware mode lets the surroundings back in, and ANC can be switched off entirely. An inline remote handles volume, playback, calls, and mode changes, while the built-in microphone covers voice calls and content recording.

USB-C Carries the Whole Signal

Bose uses its own digital signal processing to deliver a fixed 24-bit output from compatible USB-C sources. The required power means traditional non-USB audio adapters will not work, and there is no 3.5mm option for an external DAC or amplifier. For modern phones and laptops, though, it is a direct plug-and-play setup with very low latency.

Nine Ways to Find the Fit

Three ear-tip sizes and three stability-band options create nine possible fit combinations. The earbuds are rated IPX4 against splashes and include a carry case. Black, White Smoke, and a limited Dewdrop Mint color are priced at $99, with shipping beginning October 15.
