Bose Reveals QuietComfort Headphones, Earbuds With ‘Most Realistic Sound Ever’

Bose has introduced the next generation of its iconic QuietComfort audio devices, welcoming the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds to the lineup.

The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and Earbuds are set to be available in early October and will retail for US$429 and US$299, respectively.

As with the brand’s previous launches, these devices will be available in sleek ‘Black’ and ‘White Smoke’ color options, though the over-ears will be offered for a limited time in ‘Cypress Green’.

One major update to the lineup is Bose Immersive Audio, a brand-new technology that promises music lovers the “most realistic sound ever.”

According to the brand, users can look forward to a broader, more immersive soundstage, with an enhanced listening experience regardless of the platform or device used.

Essentially, the experience aims to transport the listener to the acoustic sweet spot, making the sound multi-dimensional by virtually placing the audio in front of the individual.

Users can choose between two listening modes: Still and Motion. The former keeps the audio fixed in one position, while the latter option allows it to shift along with one’s movements.

Replacing the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 as the company’s flagship headphones, the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones offer premium noise cancellation and CustomTune audio calibration.

This redesigned system, featuring advanced microphones, proprietary signal processing, and a robust chipset, helps keep sounds more insulated while bettering the mic’s voice pickup.

By distinguishing one’s voice from surrounding noise, crystal-clear calls and accurate voice assistant interactions are part of the updated package.

Aesthetically, the device boasts a modern look, with minimal seams and part splits that allow for easy folding into a compact storage case.

Intuitive physical controls make the headphones user-friendly, including a power/Bluetooth pairing button, a capacitive touch strip for volume control, and a multifunction button.

As for the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, the in-ears feature a refreshed design with a metallic treatment for a chicer appearance, with the stability bands adding to a secure fit and optimal comfort.

The gadget offers six hours of battery life on a single charge without Bose Immersive Audio and up to four hours with it. Those on the go can opt for an optional wireless charging case cover for US$49.

In addition, the earbuds have been tweaked for improved call quality, using dynamic microphone mixing and adaptive filters in real time to make voices more intelligible.
