There is no word on when the new Bose products will be launched in India or what the price will be, but it is likely that Bose will announce the products for the Indian market in the coming weeks.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds specifications and features

The big announcement from Bose's recent launches is the QuietComfort Earbuds, a new pair of true wireless earphones with active noise cancellation. Known as the Bose Noise Canceling Earbuds 700 when originally announced in 2019, the QuietComfort Earbuds go up against the Apple AirPods Pro in terms of pricing and positioning.

The earphones feature USB Type-C and Qi wireless charging for the case, with up to six hours of battery life on the earphones. For connectivity, the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds use Bluetooth 5.1, with support for the SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs. There is also app support through the Bose Music app, which allows for customisation of various features and settings on the earphones.

Bose Sport Earbuds specifications and features

The second true wireless headset launched by Bose is the Sport Earbuds, announced in 2019 as the Bose Earbuds 500. The successor to the Bose SoundSport Free, the new Bose Sport Earbuds are IPX4 rated for water resistance and are said to have a secure and comfortable fit for proper use during exercise-based activities.
