On September 28, 2026 Bose unveiled the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, its first wired in-ears since 2015. The Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds cost $99, use USB-C, include QuietControl and ship from October 15.
What happened?
The Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds are plug-and-play. No Bluetooth, app or battery. ANC draws power from the host. An inline remote has physical buttons.
Modes are Quiet, Aware and ANC Off. Four microphones drive QuietControl. Colors: black, White Smoke and limited Dewdrop Mint. My Bose members can preorder at Bose.com and Best Buy.
Why it matters
Wired headphone sales rose again, according to Circana. Bose ties the rebound to teens and Gen Z. Raza Haider told WIRED the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds went from idea to hardware in eight to nine months.
In practice
A cable cuts Bluetooth lag in games and video. USB-C replaces the missing 3.5 mm jack. The buds only work on USB-C and occupy the port; ANC depends on the phone’s charge.
