Bose's New Wired Earbuds Aim for the Same Great Sound and ANC - No Charging Needed

The new earbuds target younger listeners as wired headphone sales rose 10% in late 2025 and 20% in early 2026, Bose said.

  • On Monday, September 28, 2026, Bose announced the Bose Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds, a $99 device featuring active noise cancellation and USB-C connectivity without requiring charging or Bluetooth pairing.
  • Bose president of consumer audio Raza Haider observed wired headphone popularity surging among Gen Z, noting that "many are rediscovering the joy of plugging in and pressing play."
  • The earbuds eliminate the need for Bluetooth pairing or device charging via USB-C connectivity, while physical buttons control volume, playback, and multiple active noise cancellation modes.
  • Customers can preorder the device in black, white smoke, or the limited edition dewdrop mint color, with initial units expected to start shipping on October 13.
  • By offering premium audio without wireless latency or battery anxiety, Bose positions the product to capture the growing wired market at a competitive price point.
