Skimm Tested

We don’t have to remind you that the holidays are just around the corner. But we do need to tell you we found the best tech gifts for virtually everyone on your list, courtesy of our friends at Bose. Their speakers, headphones, and earbuds are known for their sleek looks and even better sound quality, so naturally, we had to test them out. Here are three products we’re planning to add to our own lists. 

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)
Bose, Alessandra Rey

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen)... 

Meet the cooler, older sister of Bose’s signature QuietComfort Ultra headphones. Just when we thought the design couldn’t get better, this version has polished metal accents that take their seven different colors to the next level — including two brand-new shades, Driftwood Sand and Midnight Violet. The headphones are ultra-plush and have a battery life that lasts up to 30 hours on a single charge. Major bonus points for its spatialized audio and cinema mode that brings the movie theater experience straight to you. Popcorn not included. ($449)  

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
Alessandra Rey

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds…

These are hands-down the coolest earbuds we’ve ever tried. They have a unique cuff-like design that fills your ears with music but still lets you hear surrounding sounds — a must if you’re running or cycling outside. They’re extremely lightweight and come in 11 cute colors. We’ve been using them daily. ($199)

Bose Soundlink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen)
Bose, Alessandra Rey

Bose Soundlink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen)...

There are tons of portable speakers to choose from, but this Soundlink Flex is our current pick. It’s about as large as a 20-ounce cup of coffee and packs a surprisingly deep bass. We especially love that it's made with durable materials that are water-, dust-, and travel-proof, so we can throw it in our car or carry it from room to room. A small loop on the side lets you hang it from just about anywhere. ($159)
