Bose could be cooking up three new pairs of headphones and earbuds that will rival the AirPods Max and AirPods Pro 2, according to a leak. 

The leak, which was posted on the French website Dealabs, details three different headphones: the QuietComfort Headphones, QuietComfort Ultra and QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds.

New Bose headphones leaked prices 

With new headphones on the horizon, you should probably consider waiting until we know a bit more before making a big purchase. Unless, of course, you can find a great deal on noise-canceling headphones in the interim. 

Unfortunately, Dealabs also has pricing information on the new earbuds and headphones, and they aren't cheap: The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are rumored to cost €499 (roughly $540 / £430 / AU$840) while the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds could cost €349 (roughly $385 / £300 / AU$590). 

According to the report, the Bose QuietComfort Headphones are the cheapest of the bunch at an expected retail price of €399.95 (around $439 / £345 / AU$675), but at that price you could actually save some money by buying the Sony WH-1000XM5 that are widely regarded as the best wireless headphones available right now.

It's unclear how soon Bose will officially announce the headphones, but today's leak taken in conjunction with a now-deleted Tweet, seem to provide solid proof that the earbuds and headphones are well into development and due out in the near future.
