To round off the announcement, Bose revealed its first headphones with adjustable active noise cancellation – the £230 Bose QuietControl 30 (available from September) – as well as the standard Bose SoundSport, which will retail at £140 (available for pre-order from today).

For a company that so often points to its technology as one of its main strengths, it’s a little surprising that Bose has offered both wireless and noise canceling headphones for quiet some time, but has never combined the two – at least not until now. You can either use the aforementioned buttons to select between the twelve levels of cancellation, or else you can boot into a dedicated Bose app which features a pretty neat visualisation of just how much noise is being blocked out. In the fall, a second version of the headphones, which come equipped with a built-in heart-rate monitor-the SoundSport HR-will go on sale for $199.
When you cannot use Bluetooth, you can connect a headphone cable to the QC35 headphones and to your device to listen with the same noise cancelling features.
The QuietComfort 35 will hit stores June 5th for $349.
A rechargeable lithium ion battery provides 20 hours of playback, which is on par with competing devices from the likes of Beats and Plantronics. The headphones will be available in two colour variants: black and silver. The claim to fame for this new line of headphones is that they are now wireless, with Bluetooth and NFC (Near Field Communication) connectivity. The two new devices offer a wireless option and noise cancelling technology. That feature can be controlled using the companion app or the in-line microphone, which also has volume and track navigation controls. Meanwhile, the QuietControl 30 is available in matte black and will set you back $300, but it will be available by September.
The latest headphone model takes a leaf out of the similar looking QC25, meaning that Bose offers a lightweight, very comfortable headphone with unprecedented noise reduction quality.
Headphones are an essential part of working out, but wireless models can still get in the way with designs that hurt, aren’t stable, and sound weak.
The SoundSport Wireless is an in-ear Bluetooth headset for fitness buffs.
The reason for this is because of a cool new feature that allows you to control the amount of noise-cancelling like you would the volume. They have an inline microphone and a remote which can be used to adjust the volume, change songs, and receive and make phone calls using the headphones only.

Recently, the company unveiled four wireless headphones. Sony has tried it before with its B-Trainer headphones, but the Bose SoundSport Pulse are smaller, lighter and far more comfortable to wear. A protective case is included, as are three different eartip sizes.
