Bose has finally released the next-generation wireless earbuds that they were first announced in May 2019. There are two different wireless earbud models to choose from: the Bose Sport Earbuds and the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds.

First, the Bose Sport Earbuds (previously called the “Bose Earbuds 500”) are wireless sport earbuds that are smaller and sleeker versions of Bose’s previous SoundSport Free earbuds. Each earbud has up to five hours of battery life, with a charging case that provides up to 10 extra hours. They cost $179 and will be available starting on September 29, but you can preorder them today. They will be available in three different colors: Triple Black, Baltic Blue, and Glacier White.

Second and more excitingly, there’s the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (previously called the “Bose Noise Cancelling Earbuds 700”), which are the company’s first pair of wireless earbuds with active noise-cancellation. Each earbud will have six hours of battery life, with the charging case adding an extra 12 hours total (enough to charge each earbud once fully). The QuietComfort Earbuds cost $280 and will be available starting on September 29, but you can preorder them today. They will be available in two colors: Triple Black and Soapstone.

It’s a little bit crazy that it’s taken Bose, the industry leading in active noise-cancellation, this long to release its first pair of noise-canceling wireless earbuds, but alas they are finally here. And by the looks like they’re primed to take the fight to Apple’s AirPods Pro.

What’s also interesting is Bose’s naming convention. The QuietComfort Earbuds have adopted the “QuietComfort” name, but share many features from the flagship noise-canceling headphones, the Bose Headphones 700, such as 11 different levels of noise control and improved microphones for superior call clarity. People obviously have a strong love and familiarity to Bose’s famed “QuietComfort” line, and it seems that Bose is trying to capitalize on that.

We’ll be able to tell you more once we review both of Bose’s new wireless earbuds in the near future.
