Boss Noise-Canceling Wired Earbuds Review: Plug Into USB-C and Use Right Away (theverge.com)

Writing language: KoreanRead in the original language

- These earbuds work as soon as you plug them into a USB-C port. No Bluetooth pairing, charging, or app setup is needed, and they connect to recent phones and computers without a dedicated dongle. - The noise canceling gets its power from the USB-C port instead of a battery. The price is 99, and according to the reviewer's experience, they reduce low-frequency noise such as air conditioners or low trucks well, but block human voices weakly. - Reviewer John Higgins wrote that the wired connection gives low latency and supports 24-bit/48kHz high-resolution audio. The sound quality assessment is the author's subjective listening experience. - Drawbacks the review pointed out: the cable catches easily on clothing or objects, wind noise mixes in easily, and call quality is poor. The Verge's own score is 8 points.

O: This is worth a look for commuters who have found that charging and pairing Bluetooth earbuds has become a hassle, and who want to test wired noise cancelling as a replacement while using USB-C earphones. X: According to the reviewer's experience, the cable length is 4.2 feet, so it often catches on clothes and other objects and wind noise mixes in. If you use them outdoors a lot, you should weigh this first.
