Bose has announced four new pairs of headphones – two sports models and two wireless noise-cancelling headphones. As with all Bose headphones, you can expect superior sound quality and comfort with a slightly higher price tag than your run-of-the-mill cans. But the extra cash you fork out will get you noise-cancelling, excellent battery life and that all-important brand cache.

Bose QuietComfort 35 and QuietControl 30
In the QuietComfort range, Bose has announced the QC35 and in the QuietControl line, the QC30: an over-ear and in-ear offering, respectively. Both are wireless noise-cancelling headphones but the way they handle noise-cancellation is a little bit different.
The Quiet Comfort 35 over-ears let you completely block out all background noise. “With microphones inside and outside the earcups, the QC35 senses, measures and sends unwanted sounds to two proprietary digital electronic chips — one for each ear — which respond with a precise, equal and opposite signal in less than a fraction of a millisecond.” The QC35 has a 20-hour battery life and retails for $349.95/£289.95.
SoundSport and SoundSport Pulse
On the fitness front, Bose also announced an all-new range called SoundSport. There’s a standard wireless lightweight pair and a pair equipped with a heart-rate monitor in the ear bud that is apparently as precise as a chest-mounted heart rate monitor. Both models are sweat- and water-resistant and feature refined ear bud tips designed to stay in place.
The SoundSport in-ear headphones have a six-hour battery life and cost $149.95/£139.95. The SoundSport Pulse will cost you $199.95/£169.95 in September but this more advanced pair comes with a slightly shorter five-hour battery life. All Bose headphones include the Bose Connect app for additional functionality.
