Bose has announced a new version of its QuietComfort headphones, bringing flagship features to a more affordable price point. The updated headphones are available for preorder starting Aug. 8 and cost $359. They feature improved noise-canceling technology, better audio and call quality, and two-way USB-C audio, which allows the headphones to both receive and transmit sound through the USB-C connection. The new model is positioned as a lower-cost alternative within the QuietComfort line, offering many of the premium features Bose is known for at a reduced price. The company has not yet specified when the headphones will begin shipping to customers beyond the preorder date.
