Bose store has introduced the first QuietComfort 20 in-ear noise cancelling headphones and Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker, in its Bose store at Lagoona Mall. Both products are also available in all Fifty One East stores in addition to Virgin Megastores at Villagio and Landmark.
A representative from Darwish Technology, distributor for Bose in Qatar, commented: “We are extremely delighted to introduce the new state-of-the-art products that feature and create further innovation. We are certainly enthralled that all music lovers will have a unique experience with this matchless headphones and speakers that are added to the store array.”
The handy Bose headphones offer two ways to listen –- one to shut out the world, and one to keep you connected.  Owners can choose to block out the noisy world and enjoy their music.  Or, with the push of a button on the cord’s Y-joint, the QC20 headphones switch to new Aware mode, which keeps the music playing, but allows surroundings to be heard clearly: a horn beeping, friend talking, a passerby, or gate announcement at the train or airport. It also fit in your pocket and weighs just 1.5 ounces.
They are available in two different models:  the QC20 headphones work with most Android, Windows and BlackBerry phones; the QC20i headphones are designed specifically for select iPhone, iPad and iPod models. Comes with a rechargeable battery provides about 16 hours of power; when the battery is depleted or the power is turned off, the music plays on.
The new SoundLink Mini speaker is a completely new Bose SoundLink family member.  It fits in the palm of your hand, connects wirelessly to a smart device or tablet, and delivers a new level of performance for personal, out-loud listening. 
“Handheld speakers aren’t new, but none are like the SoundLink Mini,” said Phil Hess, vice president of the Bose Home Entertainment Division. “Developing a smaller speaker wasn’t the goal and it wasn’t enough. The SoundLink Mini had to be small, and it had to offer better sound than any speaker of its size and we believe it does.” At 1.5 pounds, the SoundLinkMini speaker weighs no more than the average tablet.  It measures just 2.0”H x 7.1”W x 2.3”D -- 30 percent the size and 50 percent the weight of the original SoundLinkMobile speaker. With its anodized aluminum housing, it resists scratches and fingerprints, and is strong and durable enough for the rigours of everyday use.The Peninsula
