Bose introduces wireless headphones with noise cancellation

Bose comes with wireless variants of its QuietComfort headphones with noise cancellation. The QC35 is an around-ear model and the QC30 is an in-ear version. The manufacturer also comes with wireless headphones for athletes, including a model with a built-in heart rate monitor.

According to Bose, the QuietComfort 35 headphones have a battery that lasts up to twenty hours. Control buttons are placed on the right earcup. Microphones on the inside and outside measure ambient sounds, on the basis of which the headphones produce an ‘anti-noise’. The in-ear variant QuietControl 30 has a ‘noise control’ function, where users can control how much ambient noise is allowed through. Six microphones are incorporated in the earbuds; the rest of the electronics are in the neckband. The QC35 can be pre-ordered for 379.95 euros in black or silver versions and will be delivered from 15 June. The QC30 will be available in black from September for a suggested retail price of 299.95 euros.

Bose also comes with the SoundSport and SoundSport Pulse, wireless headphones intended for use during sports activities. According to the manufacturer, these models are ‘resistant to intensive indoor and outdoor use’. The SoundSport Pulse headphones feature a built-in heart rate monitor, which measures the wearer’s heart rate through the ear. The regular SoundSport headphones have a suggested retail price of 179.95 euros, the Pulse variant costs 229.95 euros and will be on the market at the beginning of September.

All new wireless headphones feature NFC for automatic Bluetooth pairing and work with the Bose Connect app, available for iOS and Android.
