Sound by Bose powers new Baseus Inspire series at IFA 2025
September 4, 2025

- Baseus debuts Inspire XH1, XC1, and XP1 audio lineup with Sound by Bose tuning
- Inspire XH1 headphones boast a 100-hour battery and Dolby Audio.
- Inspire XC1 open-ear earbuds target active users with a hybrid driver setup and IP66 rating.
- Inspire XP1 true wireless earbuds feature adaptive ANC up to -50dB and a 45-hour battery.
Baseus came to IFA 2025 ready to make noise. The company officially launched its new Inspire Series of personal audio products today, all of which feature Sound by Bose technology. This makes Baseus the latest brand to license Bose’s tuning, following the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC, and signals a growing trend of mainstream audio brands teaming up with high-end audio giants to close the quality gap without inflating the price.
The new lineup includes three products: the Inspire XH1 over-ear ANC headphones, Inspire XP1 true wireless earbuds, and Inspire XC1 open-ear clip-on earbuds. All three are tuned by Bose and come in under $150, making them one of the more affordable ways to get that “Bose sound” without committing to Bose pricing.
The XH1 is clearly the flagship, offering a punchy combo of Dolby Audio, LDAC, Hi-Res Audio certification, and a huge 100-hour battery life. ANC is said to block up to 48dB of noise with a 4-layer system, and the headphones feature a 5-mic setup with AI noise reduction for calls. You also get 12 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge, which is always a welcome spec for quick top-ups on the go.
For more compact listening, the XP1 TWS earbuds offer adaptive ANC that reacts to your environment, cancelling noise up to a purported 50 dB. They pack dual-layer diaphragms (PU+PEEK) for a solid blend of bass and detail, along with 45 hours of total battery life and a comfy silicone fit designed to seal out sound and stay secure.
Then there’s the XC1, a pair of open-earbuds that promise to take sound quality seriously. It uses a hybrid 2-way setup with a Knowles balanced armature for high-end clarity and a dynamic driver for bass. These weigh just 6g each, are IP66 rated, and are designed for active use—with a comfy “zero-sense” fit that promises not to fatigue over time. They last 8 hours on a charge, 40 hours with the case, and support fast charging, too.
All models come in Cosmic Black and Starlight Off-White, with some fun extras like Sunset Coral and Twilight Blue offered for the XH1. Pricing ranges from $129.99 to $149.99, depending on the model, and they’re launching globally following the IFA debut.
Baseus also took the wraps off some smart home gear and wireless charging accessories, but the Inspire series is the clear headline here. For anyone looking to get that Bose sound without paying Bose prices, this might be one of the most accessible entries yet.
