Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (Black)

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds take a different approach to personal audio: instead of sealing your ear canal, they clip gently onto the outer ear like a cuff and play through Bose OpenAudio technology, so music arrives with surprising body while the world around you stays fully audible. For runners, cyclists, commuters and anyone who dislikes the plugged feeling of in-ear buds, they offer a genuinely open listening format with Bose’s spatial Immersive Audio on top.

Open does not mean thin

OpenAudio directs sound toward the ear while minimising what spills to people nearby, and the driver placement in the cuff produces bass weight that earlier open designs could not manage. You hear traffic, conversation and announcements as they happen — a safety feature outdoors and a social one indoors — while the music keeps a private, centred image.

Immersive Audio

Bose Immersive Audio spatialises stereo content so it sounds as if it is playing in the room rather than inside your head. Two listening modes let the sound stay fixed in space as you move, or travel with you. It works with any content and any device, because the processing happens in the earbuds themselves.

Comfort you forget about

Each earbud weighs about 6.2 grams and grips with a soft, flexible joint rather than ear tips or hooks. There is nothing in the canal to cause pressure fatigue, nothing to fall out on a run, and glasses wearers get a design that coexists with frames. Simple button controls handle playback and calls without reaching for the phone.

Living with open ears

Daily use reveals the format’s quieter advantages. There is no ear tip to size, no seal to break when you smile, and no occlusion effect turning your own voice into a boom inside your head on calls — conversations sound like conversations. The physical button on each bud avoids the accidental touches of capacitive panels, which matters with gloves, helmets and workout hands. Paired with the Bose app, you can adjust the sound, manage connections and update firmware. For people who tried sealed earbuds and hated the isolation, this is the first design that asks for no compromise in either direction.

Choose the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds if your listening happens in the real world — streets, offices, gyms and homes where hearing your surroundings is not a distraction from the music but part of the point.
