Overview
- Preorders begin Aug. 28 with a $299 price, and general availability is scheduled for Sept. 10, according to Engadget.
- The design closely matches the 2023 model, retaining the comfortable fit and stability bands while adding new wax guards for easier maintenance.
- ANC performance is boosted with an updated algorithm in Aware mode for smoother handling of sudden noise, and reviewers report less audible hiss.
- Bose’s SpeechClarity AI elevates call intelligibility using an eight‑mic system, though Engadget noted some processed, staticky tone under heavy noise reduction.
- The case now supports built‑in wireless charging, multipoint connections proved more stable in Mashable’s testing, and rated battery life stays at six hours (four with Immersive Audio) and up to 24 hours with the case.
