What we like about the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

Open-ear design with immersive audio

Unlike traditional in-ear or over-ear designs, these clip-on earbuds rest just outside the ear canal, keeping you aware of ambient noise while delivering detailed, high-fidelity audio through Bose's OpenAudio technology. Paired with Bose Immersive Audio spatialized sound, music feels fuller and more three-dimensional – placing you right in the center of the experience without isolating you from the world around you.

Lightweight comfort and secure fit

These Bose earbuds are designed for extended wear, with a flexible joint and soft, lightweight grip that hooks gently behind the ear. The open-ear construction eliminates pressure inside the ear, making them comfortable for long sessions whether you're working, commuting, or running. The ergonomic design ensures a secure hold during movement, providing a balance between stability and freedom.

Strong connectivity and water resistance

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.3 for reliable multipoint connectivity, allowing seamless switching between your phone, laptop, and tablet without re-pairing. With IPX4 water resistance, they can handle sweat, rain, and splashes – perfect for outdoor runs or gym sessions. Acoustic mesh protection helps keep out moisture and debris, maintaining durability and audio performance over time.

Long battery life and convenient controls

You get up to 7 hours of playtime on a single charge (4 hours with Immersive Audio enabled) and an additional 2.5 full charges from the included case, for a total of up to 48 hours of standby power. Charging via USB-C is quick and simple, requiring about an hour for a full top-up. Physical button controls let you manage playback, switch between stereo and immersive modes, and handle calls effortlessly, while the Bose Music app adds extra customization and updates.
