The latest earbuds retain the original model’s adaptation technology that tailors audio and ANC to fit your ear’s structure, but now include an upgraded AI algorithm that adjusts ANC levels more smoothly, particularly when using the awareness mode. For instance, ANC will more gradually heighten when encountering sounds like a passing siren, ensuring it doesn’t overpower your audio experience.

According to Bose, the enhanced QuietComfort Ultra earbuds use technology initially developed for hearing aids to enhance call clarity by minimizing background disturbances such as wind or office chatter. The battery life continues to offer up to 24 hours when used with the charging case, which now supports wireless charging. Additionally, the earbuds feature a new guard to minimize wax accumulation and simplify cleaning, and there’s the ability to disable touch controls to avoid unintentional commands.

The company is also upgrading its SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker with a 2nd gen model that’s expected to be available later this summer for $129 in black and blue dusk color options. Its most welcome upgrade is a USB-C charging port, but existing users could be tempted by a big bump in battery life from six to 12 hours, clearer sound at higher frequencies, and compatibility with Bose’s mobile app for customizing the function of its shortcuts buttons and adjusting its sound profile using an EQ.

Additionally, Bose is announcing an entirely new portable Bluetooth speaker called the SoundLink Plus that will be a more premium offering when it launches on June 26th. It’s already available for preorder for $269 in black and blue dusk color options, while a new citrus yellow color can be preordered starting on June 18th. The speaker features a single subwoofer and tweeter paired with four passive radiators that can be enjoyed for up to 20 hours between charges. It has an IP67 waterproof rating which means it can be submerged a few feet for up to 30 minutes but can float so it will survive indefinitely if it ends up in the drink.
