Summary
$99 Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds are now up for preorder, marking the company’s first wired earbuds since it dropped the category in 2015.
USB-C connectivity replaces a 3.5mm jack, letting the 4.2-foot earbuds plug directly into modern phones and laptops while supporting lossless audio with low latency.
Two microphones in each earbud power Bose QuietControl noise canceling with Quiet, Aware and off modes, while an inline mic handles calls.
IPX4 water resistance, three eartip sizes, two stability-wing sizes and a zippered case round out the package; Bose lists shipping for October 13, though its release says October 15.
The launch taps renewed demand for plug-and-play wired audio, with Bose pitching a battery-free option that avoids recharging anxiety.
