I Wish These Bose Open Earbuds Weren’t So Damn Thick and Heavy

I’m pro-open ear headphones for outdoor exercise. Bikers, cars, unsupervised children on scooters—they’ve all been hazardous to my health while running. So even though I had reservations about the Bose Sport Open Earbuds, I was eager to give them a go. Open-ear audio has been around for awhile in the form of bone conduction headphones,…

I Love The New Bose Frames Even If I Look Like an Absolute Jabroni

I liked the original Bose Frames. They were stylish sunglasses that featured audio-based augmented reality, which actually seemed like a clever workaround for the technological challenges of smart glasses. But alas, Bose AR wasn’t meant to be. Last summer, the company shuttered that division and as a result, Bose Frames went from being audio AR…

Bose’s Weird New Earbuds Don’t Go In Your Ears

Generally, you expect earbuds to go in your ear canal. Because, you know, that’s what earbuds do. But today, Bose is announcing its latest truly wireless earbuds—the Bose Sport Open Earbuds—and the company claims they don’t go in, over, or on your ears at all. Well then, where the hell do they go? According to…

They’re Too Big!

The Bose QuietComfort earbuds slip into my ears relatively easily. They connect to my phone, and the moment they do, that pleasing Bose brand of silence washes over me. I can’t hear the fridge’s compressor or the steady hum of my server—only silence. Then, because the Bose QuietComforts are pretty large, one pops out of…

Just days after a surfaced video appeared to tease a new pair of Bose noise-canceling wireless earbuds, Bose has officially announced two new true wireless options: the QuietComfort Earbuds and the Bose Sport Earbuds. The two wireless earbud models originally slated to launch in 2020 were called the Earbuds 500 and Noise Cancelling Earbuds 700,…

Bose is supposed to be readying a pair of true wireless earbuds for release later this year, the Bose Earbuds 500 and the Bose Noise Cancelling Earbuds 700. But per a seemingly accidentally posted promo video, it may be preparing to launch the higher-end of the two—a likely AirPods Pro competitor—under the name QuietComfort Earbuds.…

This Is the Best Portable Speaker for $150 or Less

I’ve used many Bluetooth speakers over the years. Some have been good, and others have been, well, not good. Choosing a portable Bluetooth speaker that’s a good fit for you requires considerations like whether you care more about a bargain price or, say, a thumping bass. But before you shell out a couple of hundred…

RIP, Bose AR, We Hardly Knew Ye

Bose seemed like a company that had a slightly different, incredibly interesting vision for augmented reality. It was different from other tech companies’ approaches—Bose put AR in its Bose Framessunglasses, but it wasn’t like the AR glasses or headsets that are already on the market. In lieu of holographic images superimposed on the real world, Bose’s…

Sony’s New Wireless Earbuds Put Amazing Noise Canceling in Your Pocket

Sony has been trying to crack a tough nut for the past couple of years.

The new $230 WF-1000XM3 represent its latest attempt at miniaturizing its excellent noise-canceling…
