Bose has announced the QuietComfort Ultra serial publication of headphones and earphones , which introduce a new spatial audio fashion technology .
Both the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones and Earbuds have Immersive Audio , which unlike the alternative Apple vulgarise or Dolby Atmos , does n’t require specialized content .
Bose says the “ accessible to all ” technology is a proprietary ironware and software package - based audio processing applied science , which enable virtualisation of the sound , and will play nice with any streaming help you enjoy .
So , if you ’ve look across the AirPods range because you do n’t sign to Apple Music , these may be a great choice for Spotify or Deezer members .
Like Apple ’s Spatial Audio , there are two versions , ‘ Still ’ and ‘ Motion ’ ( i.e. head tracked ) . The latter will keep the medicine front and centre , even when you move your head . course , they ’re both fit with Bose ’s market - leading active noise scrub technology so these are great if you ’ve been incline towards a Sony XM5 , for example , and have been hoping for Bose to raise .
Crucially , there ’s compact disk - quality lossless ( 16 - bit/44.1 kc ) over Bluetooth thanks to the Qualcomm ’s Snapdragon Sound chopine that plays nice with aptX Lossless . AptX Adaptive will also support 24 - bit/48kHz howdy - Re audio frequency . That ’s an Android - only feature though . Google Fast Pair and Bluetooth 5.3 are also on plank .
The QC Ultra headphones institute design changes too . There are rotatable capitulum cups ( welcome to the unexampled minor carrying event ! ) while the sliders and pin are made of aluminium instead of charge card , and the headband is a slight wider . There ’s also a book yellow-bellied terrapin to get together the multifuntion button .
The QC Ultra earphone have 24 - hours of continuous battery , but a still - solid 18 - minute if you have Immersive Audio shift on . In terms of the QC Earbuds Ultra , there ’s six and four hours respectively .
The new launches supersedes theNC 700 interference cancelling headphoneswhich are now a couple of years old , and theQC Earbuds II . Both models , which be £ 449 and £ 299 respectively , will go on sale in early October in black or white .
There ’s a third model , farther down the bowl , just bid the QuietComfort Headphones with less of the fancy Ultra gubbins like Immersive Audio . They cost £ 349 and are useable now .
