Bose released the Ultra Open Earbuds earlier this year which looked more like jewelry from the future than earbuds. We liked them for their innovative design, great battery life, and excellent sound with minimal leakage.

Bose just launched its new QuietComfort earbuds and Smart Soundbar, available for purchase now.

Bose is combining the strengths of its soundbars and clip-on Ultra Open Earbuds for a new home theater feature that can fool your ears (and brain) into thinking that you’ve got actual rear surround sound speakers — simply by playing audio through the earbuds.

Billed as "everyday earbuds," the QC Earbuds feature active noise canceling for $120 less than Bose's flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.

For the most immersive listening experience, choose wireless earbuds with noise cancellation and spatial audio.

Ultra” earbud option to its lineup today. The new $179 QuietComfort Earbuds offer active noise cancellation, an “everyday earbud design,” wireless charging, and up to 8.5 hours of battery life — presumably with ANC off.

Bose is replacing its $499 Smart Soundbar 600 with a speaker it simply calls Smart Soundbar. Along with a new A.I. Dialogue Mode, you can now pair the company's Ultra Open Earbuds with the soundbar to use as personal surround speakers.

Every now and then, we take a break from our ongoing coverage of new products to take a second look at a previously reviewed product — like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. I originally published this review in March 2023.

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.

Bose has taken the wraps off its latest QuietComfort earbuds, offering ANC at a lower price point. The company also has a new soundbar with an AI feature.
