Bose unveils noise canceling headphones
MUMBAI: Bose has introduced the QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones in the Indian market.
The newly launched headphones offer more attenuation in louder environments and across a wider range of frequencies without compromising the audio quality and comfortable fit of the acclaimed QuietComfort headphone line.
"We believe the QuietComfort 15 headphones offer a combination of benefits unmatched in the industry,... said Bose India country head Ratish Pandey. We've applied our research in noise reduction using an integrated systems approach, an approach as proprietary as our technologies. It requires meticulous engineering to ensure all elements of the headphone work together to achieve our very ambitious performance requirements."
New proprietary ear cushion technology provides additional passive attenuation. It features a new mechanical design and uses materials selected for specific acoustic properties to block more noise from entering the earcup. Through research in user testing, the QC15 headphones overcome the inherent challenge of all headphones- the performance variation from user to user caused by the difference in head shape and size.
The headphones feature an around-ear design that maintains the renowned comfort of its predecessors. A single earcup cable can be detached for untethered noise reduction. Once the cable is removed, listeners need only flip a switch on the right earcup to activate the proprietary technology.
A single AAA battery powers the headphones for approximately 35 hours of use. The green on/off indicator light flashes when there is approximately five hours of battery life remaining. For compact storage, the earcups rotate to a flat resting position and fit easily into the provided newly designed carrying case.
