Ultra” earbud option to its lineup today. The new $179 QuietComfort Earbuds offer active noise cancellation, an “everyday earbud design,” wireless charging, and up to 8.5 hours of battery life — presumably with ANC off.

Bose released the Ultra Open Earbuds earlier this year which looked more like jewelry from the future than earbuds. We liked them for their innovative design, great battery life, and excellent sound with minimal leakage.

Bose has unveiled a trio of new products and experiences. And one of them is truly unusual - but we like that it is trying something a little different.
