Bose QuietComfort 20 is available for pre-order online for S$499. Delivery by end-September.
Bose QuietComfort 20 headphones offers noise reduction, audio performance and comfort, and enables two ways to listen – one to shut out the world, and one to keep the listener connected by letting in selected sounds such as sirens and announcements.
The StayHear+ ear tips are really comfortable and sits snugly in the ear.
They fit in the pocket, weigh just 43 grams, and rival the performance of much larger headphones.
Bose TriPort technology uses ports to increase the effective acoustic space of the earbud to reproduce deep lows, lifelike vocals and instruments.
Bose active equalization tunes the frequency response for improved, natural sound.
A rechargeable battery provides about 16 hours of power for the active noise cancelling.
When the battery is depleted or the power is turned off, the music plays on in the QC20 as per a normal set of non-noise-cancelling earphones.
