Bose's compact Bluetooth speaker touts "sharp, undistorted sound" and "adequate bass to resonate even the largest spaces"
The tech giant Bose has announced the release of two new products: the SoundLink Home Bluetooth speaker and the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. Let's take a closer look at each.
Bose SoundLink Home
The SoundLink Home, set to be available in September, promises crisp, clear audio with enough bass to fill any room. With up to nine hours of battery life and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, this speaker is designed for uninterrupted music enjoyment.
The SoundLink Home is made of anodized aluminium and a large fabric grille, giving it a sleek and modern look. It comes in three finishes: Light Silver, Cool Grey, or Warm Wood. A built-in microphone allows for voice calls and accessing voice assistants.
One of the standout features of the SoundLink Home is its Stereo Mode, which allows two speakers to be connected for an immersive audio experience. The speaker will retail for £219.95 / $229 when globally available from September 11, 2025.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen), released on June 12, 2025, have received an upgrade to voice call quality with Bose's 'SpeechClarity' technology. This technology uses proprietary AI tech to deliver improved voice call quality.
The earbuds are available in black, off-white, and 'deep plum' colours, and wireless charging is standard. However, there is no specific mention of a 'SpeechClarity upgrade' in the provided search results.
One feature that remains divisive among users is the earbuds' design. Despite this, the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) offer improved call quality and overall performance. They are priced at $299 / £299 / AU$450.
The SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen)
