Pause for nothing with open-ear headphones
Introducing our latest innovation in open-ear design, the new Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, an open-ear earbud that doesn’t rely on bone conduction technology or annoying ear hooks. These open earbuds are true wireless earbuds that offer premium audio quality while allowing enough background noise through, so you are aware of your surroundings. With Bose open-ear earbuds, you’ll never have to adjust volume levels, pause your content, or take out an earbud to hear those around you when needed. From grocery shopping to commuting to work, to hitting the gym, and everything in between — Bose Ultra Open Earbuds make it easy to keep music, podcast, or video going.
Our commitment to rigorous research and testing brings you an earphone open-ear design that ensures minimal sound leakage so those around you cannot hear your content or phone call. This includes a strong battery life, so you can wear the open-ear wireless headphones for hours, popping them in the charging case for a quick charge to keep the vibes going when needed. And we offer our open-ear Bluetooth® headphones in sets, so you can get everything you need in one order for one great price. Whether you want to pair your open-ear earbuds with a silicone case cover to keep them protected or the wireless charging case cover for effortless inductive charging.
