Bose is combining the strengths of its soundbars and clip-on Ultra Open Earbuds for a new home theater feature that can fool your ears (and brain) into thinking that you’ve got actual rear surround sound speakers — simply by playing audio through the earbuds.

Bose released the Ultra Open Earbuds earlier this year which looked more like jewelry from the future than earbuds. We liked them for their innovative design, great battery life, and excellent sound with minimal leakage.

The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds go after the AirPods with active noise cancellation for $179. Bose also refreshes its $500 soundbar to produce cleaner dialog and pair with its Ultra Open Earbuds.
