Bose introduces in-ear noise-canceling buds

What's the point of headphones if users can't play music or make phone calls? United States-based speaker maker Bose is introducing its first noise-canceling headphones in China to target the surging sleep-aid market.

The headphones are specifically designed as a sleep aid. The in-ear buds, smaller than a one cent coin, each weigh 1.4 grams. The tiny size and light weight guarantee that even if consumers are sleeping on their sides it won't be a problem.

The headphones come with three sets of buds of different sizes to cater to different consumer groups. The company said that to realize the "nearly unnoticeable" wearing experience, the first step is to offer consumers headphones in the right size.
