Expanding the Boundaries of Sound

Earbuds have long been practical companions in all life scenarios, from sports and travelling to work and relaxing. The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds introduce a new level of headphone comfort and, more importantly, they deliver impressive sound quality and incorporate a special noise cancellation system. The earbuds use an initial audio signal to analyse and adjust noise cancellation and sound performance to the unique shape of the ears. Then, the Bose Immersive Audio system delivers an expansive sound experience that allows content to be perceived as multidimensional and multilayered. It makes a spatial audio experience that is usually associated with surround systems accessible to everyone. When listening to content via headphones, sound is generally restricted to the headspace. Bose Immersive Audio transports that sound from the head to an external space in front of the user. This effect is possible thanks to digital signal processing software developed by the company. The jury was very impressed by the noise cancellation performance of the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, and by the fact that they adapt the noise cancellation level to ambient sound. When the device is in aware mode, the user hears ambient noise such as traffic to ensure that they remain attentive. However, if a sudden loud ambient sound is detected, counteractive cancellation is instantly triggered. The jury also liked the easy, intuitive operation of the earbuds, which strikes a balance between responsiveness and prevention of inadvertent commands. The most frequent interactions are linked to simple gestures to improve the user experience. The use of larger batteries extends the earbuds’ operating time. Sleek curves, matt and glossy surfaces, and colours ranging from classic black and white to energetic tones give these earbuds a pleasing appearance. Technically, they not only provide an impressive sound experience; they also adapt to the user and the environment, for the perfect spatialised audio experience.
