A new leak suggests Bose is preparing a new generation of QuietComfort headphones that will bring premium features from its flagship QuietComfort Ultra series into a more affordable and mainstream offering. Among the features of Bose’s current QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are spatial audio, improved ANC algorithms, lossless USB-C audio and Cinema Mode. For retailers, Bose introducing Ultra features to the QuietComfort range means being able to offer a stronger mid to premium product, one that sits between an entry-level noise-cancelling headphone and the flagship models. More and more, headphones are growing their features beyond basic noise cancellation to offer features like immersive audio, AI-enhanced audio calls, adaptive sound and high-resolution audio support. If true, the new QuietComfort release could pit Bose with a challenger product against premium rivals like Apple AirPods Max and Sony WH-series headphones.
