Bose Goes Wireless With QuietComfort Headphones For Audiophiles

Bose is no stranger when it comes to offering sultry audio solutions for the audiophile market and while it took some time before they actually came up with one, wireless headsets have been finally introduced.
Bose has made a living with its noise-cancelling technology and now the company has appended its current line of audio solutions with the release of the QuietComfort 35 headphones.
The Bose QC35 offer the same around-ear design that allows the company to expand its traditional wired headsets but more importantly retains the same listening quality from models like the QC25 or SoundLink II.
While the noise-cancelling technology and audio delivery are up for criticism with the new line, the real question here is how going wireless can compete with other brands which have already gone way ahead of the company.
Though Bose has been best known catering to home audio systems and speakers to date, the QC35’s useful life will be interesting as well. Being a wireless pair, this means that the QC35 can be used but on a limited time which largely falls on the battery life.
By default, Bose’s Quality Comfort 35s can reportedly last for up to 20 hours on a single charge but can last longer if they are plugged in (meaning the traditional wired connection). In a nutshell, the new Bluetooth headphones offer another feature that allows audiophiles to enjoy private listening with a bit of flexibility and without the wires.
A pair of the Bose QC35 will set you back for $350, a pricing standpoint that may not be necessarily easy for the pocket. But the company may have alternative for the price-conscious customer in the form of the noise-cancelling neckbuds called QuietControl 30.
The alternative neckbuds comfortably sit on a user’s ears and are made up a black plastic band which wraps safely around one’s neck. Noise cancellation can be easily adjusted with the aid of an app or via the physical controls on the earbuds.
The Bose QuietControl 30s can last for up to 10 hours and are priced $50 lower at $300. They are expected to be available in September.
If you want to skim down the Bose product line more, there are a couple of Bluetooth earphones you can consider as well in the the SoundSport Wireless and SoundSport Wireless Pulse. Both are water and sweat resistant and includes some added features like a heart-rate monitor (Pulse version).
The SoundSport earbuds are priced at $149 while the Pulse version cost around $199.
