For on-the-go moms: QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

If your mom is always on the go, whether she’s running errands, commuting to work, or jetting off on a business trip, noise cancelling earbuds, like Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, are the perfect fit for a busy lifestyle. These earbuds are unbeatable when it comes to audio quality, noise cancellation, and comfort, and they’ll allow mom to listen to her favourite music or podcasts, no matter where she’s headed off to. Plus, our new Immersive Audio technology will allow her to hear her favourite songs like never before.

The earbuds come with soft eartips and stability bands in three sizes, providing a more comfortable fit. And they have the world’s best noise cancellation for those times mom just needs some peace and quiet at work or at home. That’s not all either: Aware Mode is ideal for moms who are frequently commuting or exercising outdoors, as it blocks out the loudest noises while allowing enough transparency to stay aware of her surroundings. Plus, the earbuds have built-in microphones that filter out ambient noise when on the phone. The battery lasts for up to six hours per charge, and the compact charging case holds three additional charges — ideal for a fast-paced life.

For the multi-tasking mom: Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are the perfect gift for the mom who has so much going on at home, at work, or out and about.

These cuff-style earbuds wrap around the outer edge of your ear, but don’t block your ear canal like a typical earbud. That means mom can listen to whatever she wants and still be open and aware of her surroundings.

Not only do they sound great, they also look stylish and are so comfortable they’re perfect for all-day wear.

The Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth® Speaker is a portable yet rugged speaker that’s ideal for moms who love an outdoor adventure. The compact Bluetooth gadget weighs less than 2 pounds (0.9 kilograms), so mom can clip it to her hiking pack, and it can play music for up to 12 hours on a single charge.

The audio quality of the SoundLink Flex is everything you’d expect from a Bose speaker, and the tough exterior can withstand being bumped, dropped, and even submerged in water (perfect for kayaking) — not only is it waterproof, it even floats! This portable speaker comes in a variety of colours to match mom’s style, and it’s sure to be a staple for all her outdoor activities.

For work-from-home moms: QuietComfort Headphones

Your mom will be able to focus on work — no matter what’s going on around her — with QuietComfort Headphones. These over-the-ear headphones offer legendary noise cancellation, audio performance, and comfort, making them a thoughtful gift for moms who work from home (or even in a busy office).

These headphones are unmatched in terms of comfort thanks to smooth ear cushions and minimal clamping force, and the wireless design offers up to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge. If mom takes a lot of conference calls, the headphones also feature a noise-rejecting microphone system that will isolate and focus on her voice, even in noisy environments. They’re a must-have for any busy working mom. If these headphones don’t fit her style, check out our wireless headphones to find the perfect pair for her.

This compact Bluetooth speaker is a great choice for new mothers, as it can easily be clipped onto a stroller or tucked into a diaper bag. It has a rugged design that’s water- and dustproof — and can hold up to being handled by a toddler. Weighing around 10 ounces (284 grams), the SoundLink Micro will provide powerful audio anywhere, and new moms can use it to play music or lullabies for their baby on the go, with a battery life up to 6 hours.

It’s not just useful while out and about, either. When mom is at home, the SoundLink Micro can be paired with other Bose Bluetooth speakers to play music throughout the house, and it even has a built-in microphone that lets her take calls when her hands are full.

For movie buff moms: Bose Smart Soundbar 600

Is movie night a regular event in mom’s house? You can help bring her favourite films to the next level with the Bose Smart Soundbar 600. The built-in speakers on most TVs are undersized and often project audio backward, which results in subpar audio. However, with a soundbar in the living room, mom will be able to experience movies and other content to their fullest with immersive, multidimensional sound.

The Smart Soundbar 600 has five speakers built into a sleek form, and it includes two upward-firing transducers that reflect sound off the ceiling for realistic overhead sound effects. The result is a more immersive audio experience with sounds coming at you from all directions — without the need for a full surround sound system. The soundbar can also be used to stream music from audio services like Spotify, and it has Amazon Alexa built in, which is handy for controlling other smart devices.

Or, if mom has a true home theatre, you can upgrade to the Smart Ultra Soundbar. It’s larger and more powerful than the Soundbar 600, featuring a total of nine speakers, including upward-firing ones for multidirectional sound. This soundbar will deliver theatre-quality audio in the comfort of her home, and she can expand the system with a wireless subwoofer or surround sound speakers if desired.
