Back in March I discussed how Boses much-anticipated new real cordless earbuds were postponed, with a Bose representative informing me “item advancement has actually taken longer than prepared for” and been compounded by coronavirus concerns. The Earbuds 500, which I previewed in a post and video last June, didnt make their 2019 release and wound up being pressed till 2020. The Noise-Cancelling 700 Earbuds, the companys response to Apples AirPods Pro, were constantly arranged for this year, however havent materialized yet, either. What appears to be an early version of the latter headphones, however, has actually inexplicably shown up on YouTube.
A Bose representative decreased to talk about the post. She said she d share brand-new item info as quickly as she was able..

The words “Noise-Cancelling 700 Earbuds” dont appear on the box, just “Bose QuietComfort Earbuds,” which might or may not suggest that Bose is preparing to utilize its QuietComfort branding. The interior of the case likewise has glossy plastic, which does not look final (Bose generally goes with matte surfaces) and the manual pages were blank.

The back of the box has some specs, however its unclear if theyre totally accurate. Battery life is rated at six hours and you get two extra charges from the charging case, which can be charged wirelessly or by means of USB-C. Theres both sound canceling and an openness mode..
6 hours of battery life is an hour more than the AirPods Pro with noise canceling on.

Josh Quill, the YouTube poster, didnt seem to have much details about the earbuds. In responding to commenters, he said that he thought they might be coming out in December and that he didnt know how much they would cost.

I do think both the Earbuds 500 and Noise-Cancelling 700 Earbuds– or whatever Bose ends up calling them– will show up before the vacation buying season. Suffice it to state, it cant pay for any misfires, particularly when it comes to a hot category like true wireless earbuds.
