Bose’s QuietComfort 35 II headphones are among the most comfortable noise-canceling headphones ever made, so it’s not surprising that Bose has converted them into a gaming headset, with the addition of a “noise-rejecting” boom microphone and PC desktop controller. What is a little surprising is that Bose didn’t make its new QuietComfort 35 II Gaming Headset sooner as a lot …

In 2018, Bose introduced a couple of pairs of audio sunglasses with tiny speakers embedded in each temple that sounded surprisingly decent given that they’re sunglasses and not headphones. Now the company has refined the concept, adding three new Frames to its eyewear line, including a new sport model, the Tempo, that features larger drivers in a lighter chassis that …
