Bose has introduced the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, a USB-C wired model that brings active noise cancellation to a category most brands have left behind in favor of fully wireless designs. The Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds need no pairing or charging of their own, drawing power directly from the phone or laptop they’re plugged into while still offering the kind of active noise control usually reserved for wireless models.
QuietControl Without the Charging Case
At the center of the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds is Bose’s QuietControl technology, switchable between Quiet, Aware, and fully Off modes depending on how much of the outside world a listener wants to let in. Because the earbuds run entirely off the USB-C connection, there’s no battery to manage and no case to keep charged, trading some of the convenience of wireless earbuds for guaranteed power and a simpler daily routine.
Nine Ways to Get the Fit Right
Fit is a major focus for the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, which ship with three eartip sizes and two stability band sizes for nine possible combinations, aiming to seal out noise properly regardless of ear shape. A three-button inline remote with a built-in microphone handles calls and playback without needing to touch a phone, and an IPX4 rating covers everyday sweat and light rain.
Part of a Wider Bose Earbud Range
The Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds sit as a budget-friendly, wired counterpart to Bose’s wireless lineup, including the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, giving Bose a noise-cancelling option for listeners who prefer a wired connection, a school or office device that blocks Bluetooth, or simply want to avoid ever charging their earbuds separately.
Pricing and availability
The Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds are priced at $99 and are available for preorder now through Bose’s own store, in Black, White Smoke, and a limited-edition Dewdrop Mint exclusive to Bose.com.
