Now, Bose is jumping back to that"regular" model with a new version of the QuietComfort Earbuds.
For the new QuietComfort Earbuds, Bose says the design is meant for"everyday use." There's a collection of ear tips and stability bands to help you find the perfect fit, and the IPX4 rating should be enough to withstand sweaty workouts. The shape of the outer panel has been refined, looking more like older Bose earbud models than its recent efforts.
The company says you can expect its"best-in-class" active noise cancellation to be on display here, as well as"satisfyingly rich" sound. Each earbud is equipped with three microphones for both ANC and voice pickup, so the latest QuietComfort model should be a decent option for calls. Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint connectivity is also on the spec sheet, where Bose is promising up to 30 feet of wireless range.
The QuietComfort Earbuds will work with the Bose QC Earbuds app for features and customization. Here, you can reconfigure the onboard tap controls on each earbud, with the ability to switch ANC settings between Quiet, Aware and off right on the buds. A Voice ID tool can fine-tune the QC Earbuds for"performance and accuracy" while a five-band adjustable EQ offers some flexibility with the tuning.
The new QuietComfort Earbuds are available today for $179 in black, white and purple color options. That's $100 less the previous two QC Earbuds models and $120 less than the QC Ultra Earbuds. This new model isn't exactly a budget option, but the price is much more attractive than the company's current $299 flagship set.
