Bose has introduced a new pair of wired earbuds featuring active noise cancellation, marking the company's first wired headphones release since 2015, according to multiple outlets.
The earbuds, called the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, are priced at $99 and use a USB-C connection, according to Bloomberg and ZDNET. ZDNET reported the earbuds require no charging since they draw power through the wired connection.
According to Wired, the design was inspired directly by teen preferences, and the outlet noted it received an early listen to the product.
Multiple outlets framed the release as a return to a format Bose had moved away from, with The Verge and Engadget both noting it had been roughly a decade since the company's last wired earbuds.
