GoKawiilBose launches USB-C wired noise-cancelling earbuds at $99
Bose has opened pre-orders for its first wired earbuds in over a decade, using a USB-C connector instead of Bluetooth or a 3.5mm jack. The earbuds include an in-line remote, IPX4 water resistance, and a carrying case, drawing power directly from the connected device with no app required. They launch October 15 in black, white, and a limited mint color, available via Bose's site and select Best Buy stores.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Bose points to data from Circana showing wired headphone sales climbing 10% in the second half of 2025 and 20% into early 2026, suggesting renewed consumer interest in simpler, lag-free audio connections. This mirrors broader nostalgia trends like rising CD and vinyl sales, which could indicate younger buyers are pushing back against the complexity of Bluetooth pairing and battery management. If the trend holds, other audio makers may follow Bose in reintroducing wired options alongside their wireless lineups.
- Bose's new earbuds use USB-C rather than Bluetooth or a 3.5mm jack.
- Wired headphone sales rose 10% in late 2025 and 20% in early 2026, per Circana.
- The earbuds cost $99 and launch October 15 in three color options.
