Baseus Teams Up with Bose to Revolutionize Headphone Market with New Inspire Line

Baseus unveils the Inspire series with Bose-tuned sound, including world’s first open-back dual-driver headphones, raising the bar for audio enthusiasts.

A Fresh Sound Wave Hits IFA 2025

If you're as obsessed with headphones as I am, then the latest drop from Baseus at IFA 2025 is something you’ll want to hear about. This time, they’ve joined forces with Bose—yes, the Bose—to craft not just another line, but a trio of headphones designed to shake up the market. The new Inspire series features a bold mix of innovation and quality with three models set to launch today, September 4th.

What caught my ear immediately was the Inspire XC1, which claims to be the world’s first open-back headphones boasting dual drivers. Pair that with the Bose-tuned sound profile stamped proudly on all three models, and you’re in for something special.

The Inspire Lineup: What’s in the Mix?

Baseus introduces three distinct models under the Inspire banner:

• Inspire XC1: The pioneering open-back headphones with dual drivers.
• Inspire XH1: Full-size active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones.
• Inspire XP1: True wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds with in-ear fit and ANC.

Each model rocks the “Sound by Bose” label, ensuring the audio signature is finely tuned by the legendary sound experts. Let’s dive deeper.

Inspire XC1: Open-Back Headphones with a Twist

The Inspire XC1 is where Baseus really flexes its tech muscle. Open-back headphones are usually prized for their airy, natural sound but often at the expense of punch and clarity. Baseus flips the script by equipping the XC1 with two drivers per ear: a 10.8mm dynamic driver for those deep bass lines and a Knowles balanced armature driver handling mids and highs. This dual-driver combo in an open-back design is said to be a first on the global stage.

And for audiophiles hungry for high-fidelity streaming, the XC1 supports Hi-Res Audio with LDAC certification, streaming wireless audio up to 192kHz/24-bit. Plus, they throw in Dolby Spatial Audio for that immersive soundscape experience—perfect for losing yourself in music or movies.

Battery life is a standout, too: up to 8 hours on a single charge, and a whopping 40 hours total with the charging case. That's marathon-worthy listening. The headphones also come with IPX7 water resistance and advanced AI-powered 4-mic array noise reduction, cutting wind noise up to 25 km/h—great news for outdoor use.

Price-wise, the Inspire XC1 sits competitively at $129 / €149.99.

Inspire XH1: ANC Excellence for the Daily Commute

Stepping into the fiercely competitive noise-canceling arena, the Inspire XH1 aims to impress. These full-size headphones carry the Bose-tuned sound profile and support Hi-Res Audio with LDAC, alongside Dolby Spatial Audio processing. But the real headline is the adaptive active noise cancellation that Baseus claims can reduce noise by up to -48 dB—making them a solid companion for flights, busy streets, or noisy offices.

Battery life is jaw-dropping: up to 100 hours playback with ANC off, and 65 hours with ANC enabled. That’s headphone endurance on another level.

They will be available for $149 / €169.99, placing them in a sweet spot for serious ANC seekers.

Inspire XP1: Compact TWS with Powerful ANC

Rounding out the trio, the Inspire XP1 earbuds pack a punch in the crowded TWS market. With Bose-tuned sound, Dolby Spatial Audio, and adaptive ANC capable of suppressing noise up to -50 dB, these earbuds aim to deliver premium sound in a pocket-sized package.

Battery endurance is respectable, with 8 hours of playback on a single charge (ANC off) and 45 hours total with the charging case—enough to power through your daily grind and then some.

At $129 / €149.99, the XP1 competes with well-known names like Cambridge Audio Melomania A100 and JBL Live Beam 3 in terms of price and features.

Price Meets Performance: Where Baseus Shines

Baseus doesn’t just want to play in the big leagues—they want to disrupt them. The Inspire series is priced aggressively, offering similar or even superior specs compared to many rivals. The standout here is the Inspire XC1, with its innovative dual-driver open-back design promising a rich, detailed sound experience that could redefine expectations for open-back headphones.

Open-back headphones surged in popularity in 2025, and Baseus seems to have timed their entry perfectly, especially with the Bose-tuned sound profile boosting their credibility.

Baseus shakes up the open-back headphone market with a dual-driver design that could set new audio standards.

Final Thoughts: Is Baseus the New Headphones Powerhouse?

From my vantage point, Baseus’ partnership with Bose was a smart move that breathes fresh life into the headphone landscape. The Inspire lineup offers something for everyone—whether you're an open-back devotee, a noise-cancellation aficionado, or a TWS lover. The specs, pricing, and Bose’s touch suggest these headphones won't just blend into the background; they're ready to make waves.
