Our take on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are open-ear earbuds that clip onto the side of your ear, leaving the ear canal open so you hear your surroundings while music plays privately. They use Bose OpenAudio and add Immersive Audio, a spatial mode that widens the soundstage but cuts playtime roughly in half. The flexible joint and light grip are built for all-day wear and workouts, and IPX4 handles sweat and rain. Against bone-conduction rivals they sound fuller and need no vibration against the skull, but they leak more sound at high volume and cost more than most open-ear options.

Best forRunners and cyclists who need to hear trafficAll-day wear at a desk or around the housePeople who dislike things inside their ear canalPairing a phone and a laptop at once

Questions and answers

Do the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds block outside noise?
No. They are open-ear by design, so you hear your surroundings. There is no active noise cancellation, and loud rooms will compete with your music.
How long does the battery last?
About 7 hours in stereo mode and about 4 hours with Immersive Audio on. The charging case adds roughly 19.5 hours of playtime.
Can I wear them for running and in the rain?
Yes. The earbuds are IPX4 rated for sweat and rain, and the clip-on fit is designed to stay put during workouts. The case is only IPX1, so keep it dry.

Yes. Multipoint over Bluetooth 5.3 lets you switch between a phone and a laptop without repairing.
