Bose’s new wired earbuds are simple in the best way. Wired earbuds are making a small comeback, and Bose is capitalizing on it — with ANC this time.

Bose 新款有线耳塞以最好的方式展现了简约之美。有线耳塞正在小幅回归，而 Bose 此次正借此机会——并加入了主动降噪（ANC）功能。

After Apple courageously removed the headphone jack from the iPhone in 2016, most people switched to Bluetooth earbuds and never looked back. But their wired counterparts have stuck around, and their sales even went up this year after five years of decline.

在苹果公司于 2016 年“勇敢地”取消了 iPhone 上的耳机插孔后，大多数人转向了蓝牙耳机，并再也没有回头。但有线耳机依然存在，在经历了五年的销量下滑后，今年的销量甚至出现了回升。

Part of the resurgence can be tied to the fact that they’re cool now with younger generations — following the revival of tape decks and vinyl. Celebrities have been spotted wearing them, and there’s even an Instagram account that follows the trend.

这种复苏的部分原因在于，继磁带机和黑胶唱片复兴之后，有线耳机在年轻一代中变得流行起来。人们发现名人们也在佩戴它们，甚至还有一个专门追踪这一趋势的 Instagram 账号。

The $99 Noise Cancelling Wired Earbuds connect over USB-C, so they don’t need an extra dongle to work with current phones. That’s also how they can offer ANC. Because the 3.5mm or 4.4mm analog audio connector doesn’t provide enough power for active noise cancellation, most wired earbuds rely on passive isolation only.

这款售价 99 美元的降噪有线耳塞通过 USB-C 接口连接，因此无需额外的转接头即可在当前手机上使用。这也是它们能够提供主动降噪功能的原因。由于 3.5 毫米或 4.4 毫米模拟音频接口无法为主动降噪提供足够的电力，大多数有线耳塞仅依赖被动隔音。

The best part of the Bose earbuds, or any wired earbuds, is that they’re simple. No need to worry about pairing them, no need to charge them, and no need to fiddle with an app. Plug them into the USB-C port on a phone or computer and they just work.

Bose 耳塞（或任何有线耳塞）最好的地方在于它们的简单。无需担心配对，无需充电，也无需摆弄应用程序。只需将它们插入手机或电脑的 USB-C 接口，即可直接使用。

While the noise canceling performance doesn’t measure up to Bose’s Bluetooth earbuds, it’s still solid for the price. It does a great job blocking low-frequency sounds like air conditioners and low truck rumbles, but has difficulty muting conversation.

虽然其降噪性能无法与 Bose 的蓝牙耳机相提并论，但考虑到价格，表现依然稳健。它在阻隔空调和卡车低频轰鸣声方面表现出色，但在消除谈话声方面则较为吃力。

And they sound great. Vocals are clear and bright, and bass is punchy without overwhelming other instruments. The wired connection allows for low latency, so there’s no worry about sound and video lining up, and they support high-res audio at 24-bit/48kHz.

它们的音质也很棒。人声清晰明亮，低音强劲且不会掩盖其他乐器。有线连接实现了低延迟，因此无需担心音画不同步的问题，并且它们支持 24-bit/48kHz 的高解析度音频。

Even with the benefits of wired earbuds, though, nostalgia can’t wipe away the frustrations. If you don’t run the 4.2-foot cable under your shirt, or coil up the excess in your jacket pocket, it catches on everything.

尽管有线耳塞有诸多优点，但怀旧之情无法消除使用中的烦恼。如果你不把 4.2 英尺长的线缆穿在衬衫里面，或者把多余的部分盘在夹克口袋里，它就会挂住各种东西。
