Bose has finally lifted the lid on its latest wireless headphones, which could rival the AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM3 in what the audio company says are "the world's most effective noise-cancelling headphones." The Bose QuietComfort Headphones, not the Bose 700 Noise Canceling Headphones as we thought they might be called, are available to pre-order now for $279.95. Although worldwide prices have yet to be confirmed, they come down to around $220 / AU$380. This makes them more expensive than the AirPods Pro and Sony WF-1000XM3 (the latter being our pick for the best wireless headphones). true of 2020). So what specs has Bose included to make these headphones a viable option against their cheaper competitors?
Awesome specs...mainly
Bose says the new QuietComfort headphones "feature all the noise-cancelling performance of our best in-ear headphones," and if they can match the Bose 700 noise-canceling headphones, these headphones should be very effective at blocking out ambient noise. , as well as apply noise cancellation to your voice during phone calls. The noise cancellation level is adjustable, with a transparency mode that allows sound from your surroundings to pass through the headphones, which is useful if you need to quickly connect to your surroundings. Sound quality should be pretty good, too, if the QuietComfort headphones can deliver on Bose's promise of "constantly balanced sound" even at low volumes. Bose says that "when you turn the volume down on most headphones, the bass tends to disappear, leaving your music sound small and small," a problem it claims to have solved with its volume-optimized Active EQ technology, which automatically boosts the bass and treble" when the volume changes.

With silicone tips and small ear cups, the Bose QuietComfort headphones should provide a solid seal against the ear canal, while still staying in place, ultimately making them suitable for training. An IPX4 water resistance rating should protect them from sweat or rain if you use them for this purpose. Touch-sensitive covers let you control your music playback and summon your voice assistant without taking your phone out of your pocket, while an auto-pause function means your music will stop the moment you take the headset off. Connectivity is provided by Bluetooth 5.1, which should provide a solid connection up to 30 feet from your device. For the price, battery life is a bit disappointing; you get six hours from the earbuds themselves, with an additional 12 hours provided by the wireless charging case. It's not the worst range we've seen, but it's definitely not the best. With that in mind, the noise cancellation and audio quality will need to be seriously spectacular for the Bose QuietComfort headphones to really compete with their rivals, including the rumored AirPods 3, and we can't wait to try them out for ourselves.
