Billed as "everyday earbuds," the QC Earbuds feature active noise canceling for $120 less than Bose's flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.

Bose released the Ultra Open Earbuds earlier this year which looked more like jewelry from the future than earbuds. We liked them for their innovative design, great battery life, and excellent sound with minimal leakage.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds go after the AirPods with active noise cancellation for $179. Bose also refreshes its $500 soundbar to produce cleaner dialog and pair with its Ultra Open Earbuds.
