Yes, I missed Bose\u2019s big news this morning. I was busy with\u2026other stuff. You, too, would be forgiven for missing the QuietComfort Earbuds II launch, under the deluge of Apple news (including its own new buds), but Bose makes very good headphones, and any new version of its flagship products deserves a mention.<\/p>\n

The new buds are a third smaller than their predecessor and bring big improvements to noise canceling \u2014 which has long been Bose\u2019s bread and butter. To accomplish the latter, each bud sports four microphones \u2014 with three on the outside and one on the inside. These detect ambient noise and counteract the sound accordingly in \u201cless than a fraction of a millisecond,\u201d per the press material.<\/p>\n

The buds also feature a noise calibration technology that uses a tone to determine the size and shape of your ear and adjusts the sound accordingly. A number of companies do something akin to this \u2014 most notably Nura\u2019s highly customizable sound profiles.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s particularly interesting in Bose\u2019s implementation here with CustomTune, however, is that it re-measures every time you take the buds out of the case and place them in your ears. The buds ship with three tip sizes and three stability bands to keep them in place on a run. Bose\u2019s app will walk you through a procedure to assure a good fit.<\/p>\n

The QC Buds 2 are IPX4-rated for water resistance and each bud should get six hours of life on a charge and an additional 18 with the case. They\u2019re not cheap. At $299, they\u2019re $50 over the new AirPods Pro. But if you\u2019re a Bose fan, you can pick them up starting September 15.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
