Bose is revamping its consumer audio collection with a second-generation version of the celebrated QuietComfort Ultra earbuds and two fresh portable speakers. The original Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds were quite successful, and the company is building on that initial triumph by incorporating wireless charging, enhanced ANC, and more at a price point of $299. A brand-new portable speaker, the SoundLink Plus Portable, will launch alongside a second-generation SoundLink Micro speaker as well.
Clearly, AI is central to the enhancements in the QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. New AI algorithms are being utilized to detect and eliminate noise surges when active noise-canceling is activated. This continues to develop Bose’s existing ActiveSense ANC mode, and aligns with improved call quality and voice recognition, as stated by the company.
The earbuds feature a refined design and a vibrant color option, Deep Plum, which joins Black and White Smoke. An ingenious addition Bose is bringing with the second-gen QuietComfort Ultra earbuds is the earwax guard, integrated into the earbuds to avert earwax accumulation.
