GoKawiilBose launches $99 USB-C wired earbuds with active noise cancellation
Bose has released the Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, priced at $99, marking its first wired earbuds in over a decade. The earbuds connect via USB-C rather than a 3.5mm jack, drawing power directly from the port to enable active noise cancellation without a separate battery pack.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Most wired earbuds rely only on passive isolation because analog jacks can't supply enough power for ANC, so Bose's USB-C approach could set a template other audio makers follow as wired earbuds regain popularity. The timing coincides with a reported uptick in wired earbud sales this year after years of decline, suggesting consumer interest in battery-free, harder-to-lose audio options may be growing alongside their renewed cultural appeal.
- Bose's new wired earbuds cost $99 and use USB-C instead of a 3.5mm jack
- USB-C power allows active noise cancellation without a separate battery pack, unlike Bose's 2013 QuietComfort 20
- Wired earbud sales have reportedly risen this year after five years of decline, partly driven by renewed popularity among younger users
Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds — These earbuds bring Bose's signature noise cancellation to a wired USB-C design, perfect for anyone riding the wired-audio revival without sacrificing battery-free reliability. No dongles needed, just plug in and enjoy quality sound with active noise cancellation.
