Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: A New Challenger to Apple AirPods 4
As the highly anticipated Apple AirPods 4 are set to hit the stores on September 20, 2024, Bose steps up the game by introducing their latest earbuds - the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, priced just the same at $179 / £ 179. These aren't mere updates of previous models; they bring fresh features to the table, targeting mid-range buyers with a knack for quality sound and efficient noise cancellation.
Bose's Mid-Range Powerhouse
With a design meant to show off, you can get the QuietComfort Earbuds in Black, White Smoke, or Chilled Lilac. The ear-tips and stability bands ensure not just comfort but also a perfect seal with your ear canal to enhance the active noise cancellation effect and prevent audio leaks. For those leading active lifestyles, these earbuds meet the IPX4 rating, guaranteeing resilience against water and sweat.
The audio experience is driven by Bose's custom configuration, which promises high-quality sound that users can customize to their preference with the Bose QC Earbuds app. The app offers options between 5 EQ presets or the creation of a personalized sound setting. Each earbud is armed with three microphones to optimize voice pickup and noise cancellation, promising an uninterrupted audio experience.
Features That Impress
Bose doesn't hold back in packing the QuietComfort Earbuds with cutting-edge technology, including Bluetooth 5.3 for unwavering connectivity and a unique remote shutter feature for capturing selfies easily. Battery life won't be an issue with an impressive 8.5 hours of playback, supplemented by the carrying case's 2.5 recharges enabling nearly 30 hours of listening time.
Availability and Beyond
These earbuds are already open for orders and are expected to ship out in all three color variants by September 23. And the excitement doesn't end there - alongside the QuietComfort Earbuds, Bose has also released a new Smart Soundbar, packed with real-time adjusting A.I. Dialogue Mode, available at $499.99.
The QuietComfort Earbuds seem to position Bose as a strong competitor in the mid-range audio market, with features that may give Apple's latest offering a run for their money. Only time will tell as the audio enthusiasts eagerly await to put these earbuds to the test.
