Summary
- Bose re-enters the wired earbud market with a $99 noise-canceling model.
- These earbuds feature active noise cancellation and lossless audio.
- The new Bose wired earbuds are currently sold out due to high demand.
Bose has re-entered the wired earbud market with the surprising release of their Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, priced at an accessible $99. This move marks the most affordable Bose earbud launch to date, featuring active noise cancellation (ANC) and lossless audio capabilities. The earbuds have experienced such high demand that they have been sold out since their debut.
The design of the NC Wired Earbuds modernizes a classic in-ear style, incorporating elements from Bose's newer wireless models. They feature interchangeable silicone ear tips and stabilizer wings for a secure and comfortable fit, suitable for extended wear. The control module, while functional, can be somewhat bulky. Durability is a strong point, with a thick cord covering and IPX4 sweat and water resistance, matching the flagship QC Ultra Earbuds (Gen 2).
Connectivity is via USB-C, enabling 24-bit lossless audio and a stable connection, though it omits wireless features like multipoint or app support. Sound quality is characterized by a bright signature that emphasizes clarity, though the bass is more restrained than in previous Bose models. The ANC performance is noted as highly effective for earbuds under $100, significantly reducing ambient noise in various environments. Call quality is also excellent, with mics adept at isolating voice from background distractions.
