Treat Yourself to Trailblazing Open Earbud Excellence

Jam-packed with revolutionary OpenAudio technology, automated output assistance, and unique exterior placement, Bose Ultra Open Earbuds combine both high-definition audio and the convenience of environmental awareness, redefining the open listening experience. Onboard controls offer supreme control over audio, calls, and custom device shortcuts; meanwhile, the use of the Bose Music app offers advanced EQ, Bluetooth, and battery settings. Speaking of which, Utra Open Earbuds supply up to 7.5 hours of playtime — more than enough to tackle the entire workday. Additionally, 19.5 hours of additional power via the included charging case further extends their portability for ultimate on-the-go convenience. Finally, a sleek outer shell and IPX4 water protection guarantee audiophile-quality sound, rain or shine.

Game-changing OpenAudio technology

Bose OpenAudio technology is unlike any other earbud design we've experienced at Sweetwater. Unlike traditional models, Ultra Open Earbuds rest outside your ear rather than being tucked inside. By way of onboard Bose immersive audio and private-level playback, these earbuds supply a dynamic audio output with stark awareness of your surroundings — all while retaining the power and high definition that contemporary earbuds are known for. Plus, Ultra Open Earbuds' built-in SimpleSync technology makes it a cinch to connect to your pre-existing Bose soundbar or speaker system for an entirely personalized listening experience.

Remain in control of your sound

Access to music, call, and playback adjustments is available via the Ultra Open Earbuds' built-in rear button controls, allowing you to refine your listening experience without accessing your connected device. Likewise, automated volume levels via the earbuds' Auto Volume mode provide a dynamic sound output depending on the noise level of your surroundings, ensuring perfect audio wherever you are. For those who prefer a hands-on approach to tone, the Bose Music app provides access to EQ, Bluetooth, battery, and shortcut settings.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Features:

  • Wireless open earbuds combining pro-level sound and complete environmental awareness
  • Revolutionary OpenAudio technology pumps out powerful hi-fidelity sound at private levels
  • Onboard Bose Immersive Audio for supreme audio specialization
  • Connect your earbuds to select Bose soundbars and speakers with built-in SimpleSync technology
  • Gripping earbud hook stays in place and keeps your ears available to the outside world
  • Easy-access button controls for authority over music, calls, and more
  • Change EQ settings and control connections through the Bose Music app
  • Automated volume matches your environment for perfect sound in any location
  • Up to 7.5 hrs. of continuous playtime — up to 19.5 hrs. with the included charging case
  • IPX4 water resistance protection

Reviews

Great sound; comfortable and secure
The sound quality of these earbuds is great. They are comfortable, no "cork in your ear canal" feeling because they rest on the lower part of your ear. They "clip" to your earlobe, so they stay secure. I bought them to wear while exercising, and they stay put. Exactly what I was looking for.
Bought for my wife
I decided that my wife needed to stop buying garbage earbuds, and since her birthday was right around the corner I pitched an idea....invest! Well, fast forward a couple of weeks and she absolutely loves these. That battery life, sound quality and comfort level seem to be top notch. Between the comfort and the open ear design, she has forgotten she was wearing them a few times. From what I hear, she would highly recommend these to any and everyone.

Amazing
I love these earbuds and once again Bose did not compromise sound. I love to listen to music for long periods of time and there are times in need to know what is going on in my surroundings and these fit the bill. Sound great and my ears do not hurt.
To Bud or not to Bud and am I Wiser for the Ultra Open?
Got the Ultra Opens from Sweetwater on Tuesday and let them charge up before connecting them to my phone & iPad. Here are my initial thoughts:

1. I prefer the Immersion mode vs Stereo mode; Immersion mode provides a fuller, more enhanced audio presence than "normal" Stereo mode. NOTE: this is NOT an "Aware" mode found in other Bose earbuds and over-the-ear headphones. The best way I can describe it is similar to - but is not - Surround Sound.
2. There is a marked increase in bass response the closer the sound port is to your ear canal. It is not intended to be in your ear at all, so be aware of that while adjusting their placement.
3. I have not heard any hissing or white noise as reported by some users. These are remarkably clear considering they are very different from my other Bosebuds.
4. The clip-on (ear cuff) method keeps the buds in place, but can occasionally feel like it's pinching a bit after wearing them for a few hours.
5. They held in place after an hour-long workout on an elliptical machine. I was head-banging to Between the Buried and Me (Great Misdirect), and they did not move at all.


I would recommend.
