Tbreak Media UAE reported that Bose has launched the Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, a new wired in-ear model priced at $99 in the United States that brings active noise cancellation to a USB-C connection. The product draws power directly from a connected phone, tablet, or computer, eliminating the need for an internal battery, charging case, or Bluetooth pairing. Shipping is scheduled to begin on October 15, though specific UAE pricing and launch dates remain unconfirmed by the manufacturer.
The earbuds utilize four microphones for noise cancellation and offer three listening modes: Quiet Mode, Aware Mode, and ANC Off. A three-button remote on the cable manages playback and volume, while a separate microphone on the remote handles calls. The device features an IPX4 water-resistance rating and includes multiple ear tip sizes and stability wings for a secure fit during use.
Technically, the USB Audio Class 2 connection accepts various source audio rates but outputs at a fixed 24-bit/48kHz. Bose states this direct connection maintains low latency for video and gaming. However, the USB-C requirement means non-USB adapters and separate DAC/amp setups are incompatible, limiting the product to devices with suitable USB-C audio ports. This design choice distinguishes the unit from Bose’s wireless QuietComfort line and traditional 3.5mm wired pairs, creating a specific market niche for users with compatible USB-C hardware who prefer a cable-free charging experience.
