Bose puts the wire back on ANC earbuds — with no Bluetooth and no battery
Eleven years after its last new wired earbuds, Bose is putting a cable between the phone and the listener again. The $99 Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds still contain plenty of modern electronics: active noise cancellation, digital signal processing and a call microphone are all present. USB-C simply supplies both audio and power. There is no Bluetooth pairing and no internal battery to charge, although the energy for ANC now has to come from the connected device instead.
