Bose’s new QuietComfort Earbuds offer top-tier ANC for under $200


And finally, we get wireless charging right out of the box.

The charging case is a little big by today’s standards, and features like immersive audio (“coming soon”), AptX Adaptive codec support, CustomTune sound personalization, and the ability to sync with Bose’s soundbars are absent from the QC Earbuds. Spokesperson Joanne Berthiaume told me that “the product uses different hardware and firmware than our other QC Ultra earbuds, so we needed to leverage a different app to bring it to market quickly. I want more time with the QC Earbuds before scoring them — partially to make sure they keep working as expected and don’t start exhibiting the random bugs of some past Bose buds.
