FULL STORY ====================================================================== Bose has today launched three brand-new models in its acclaimed QuietComfort series of headphones. Despite the fact that they remain well-regarded and competitive, the QuietComfort Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 , the QuietComfort Earbuds II and the QuietComfort 45 are no more. Say hello to the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and, um, the QuietComfort Headphones. Each new pair of headphones feature Boses brand-new Immersive Audio technology. This is a variation on the established spatial audio theme. Bose has deployed Inertial Measurement Units along with some proprietary digital signal processing software in an effort to conjure a layered and multi-dimensional effect from any old source material. The company suggests that rather than presenting music as extremely close left and right channels, Immersive Audio lays a recording out to sound as if its in front of you. Still and motion modes mean sound should either remain in a fixed position or respond to your movements. All three new offerings are also compatible with Bose SimpleSync technology. This means they can pair with appropriate soundbars and speakers for a personal listening experience volume control is independent, naturally, so the speaker can be silent while the headphones are as loud as you prefer. And like the best Bose headphones , all three are compatible with the Bose Music control app. Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: key features and specifications (Image credit: Bose ) The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are now the flagship of the Bose wireless headphones range, which we rank among the best headphones .
