Bose 下一代开放式耳机:低音更强、音量更大、续航更久

Bose announced a new version of its Ultra Open Earbuds that helped kick off the industry trend of clip-on wireless earbuds nearly two-and-a-half years ago. The new Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) feature a subtle redesign with improved performance in both sound quality and battery life. They’re also joined by a new cheaper alternative called the Bose Sport Open Earbuds designed to provide a more secure and stable fit during physical activities.

Bose 发布了其 Ultra Open Earbuds 的新版本,该系列耳机在近两年半前引领了夹扣式无线耳机的行业潮流。新款 Ultra Open Earbuds(第二代)在外观上进行了细微调整,并在音质和电池续航方面实现了性能提升。此外,Bose 还推出了一款更具性价比的替代产品——Bose Sport Open Earbuds,专为在体育活动中提供更稳固的佩戴体验而设计。

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) will be available for preorder on September 19th for $299 with availability starting on October 1st. Color options include black, white smoke, cherry chocolate, olive green, and sky pink. Preorders and availability for the Bose Sport Open Earbuds are the same, but they’re $100 cheaper at $199. Colors include black, white smoke, and eucalyptus green.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds(第二代)将于 9 月 19 日开启预售,售价 299 美元,并于 10 月 1 日正式发售。配色方案包括黑色、烟白色、樱桃巧克力色、橄榄绿色和天空粉色。Bose Sport Open Earbuds 的预售和发售时间相同,但价格便宜 100 美元,售价为 199 美元。配色包括黑色、烟白色和桉树绿色。

Like the original version, the new Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) feature a design that clips to your outer ear with a transducer that directs audio into your ear canal with “minimal sound leakage,” Bose claims. There’s still no ANC because these are designed to do the exact opposite and let you hear what’s going on around you while enjoying music or a podcast.

与初代产品一样,新款 Ultra Open Earbuds(第二代)采用夹在耳廓上的设计,通过换能器将音频定向传入耳道,Bose 声称其“漏音极小”。该产品依然没有配备主动降噪(ANC)功能,因为它们的设计初衷恰恰相反,旨在让你在享受音乐或播客的同时,也能感知周围环境。

In addition to a refreshed design with a new beveled finish on each earbud’s metal cap, the 2nd Gen feature a new driver delivering higher volume with automatic adjustments and deeper bass. A new Cinema Mode simulates a “wider, more immersive soundstage” using Bose’s TrueSpatial technology while keeping dialogue clear and centered. Battery life with the buds alone has been boosted to up to nine hours (from seven hours) with an additional 19.5 hours of playback from the redesigned case that can now stand upright for use on a wireless charger.

除了外观焕新、在耳机金属盖上采用了全新的斜面设计外,第二代产品还配备了新的驱动单元,能够提供更大的音量(支持自动调节)和更深沉的低音。全新的“影院模式”(Cinema Mode)利用 Bose 的 TrueSpatial 技术模拟出“更宽广、更具沉浸感的声场”,同时保持对话清晰且居中。单次充电续航时间从 7 小时提升至 9 小时,重新设计的充电盒可额外提供 19.5 小时的续航,且现在可以直立放置在无线充电器上使用。

The Bose Sport Open Earbuds take a similar approach with a design that clips to your ear to project sounds inward, but they feature a thinner cuff with a “soft silicone matte finish” providing more grip to keep them in place. Bose says the Sport version will stay secure during head shakes, cartwheels, and running. They also feature automatic volume adjustments that adapt to ambient noise levels to ensure what you’re listening to isn’t drowned out, and the customizable shortcut button on the end of each battery barrel has an added texture, so they’re easier to find while working out. Battery life is rated at up to seven hours of playback plus an additional 22 hours with the wireless charging case.

Bose Sport Open Earbuds 采用了类似的夹耳式设计将声音向内投射,但其耳挂更薄,并采用了“柔软的硅胶哑光涂层”,提供了更好的抓地力以保持稳固。Bose 表示,运动版耳机在摇头、侧手翻和跑步时都能保持稳固。它们同样具备根据环境噪音水平自动调节音量的功能,确保听到的内容不会被噪音淹没。此外,位于电池仓末端的可自定义快捷按钮增加了纹理设计,方便在运动时盲操作。续航方面,单次充电可播放 7 小时,配合无线充电盒可额外提供 22 小时续航。
