Bose Ultra Open Earbuds 2nd Gen Black Wireless In-ear headphones

Open-Ear Listening with Private, Immersive Sound

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) in Black feature a cuff-shaped open-ear design that sits just outside the ear canal, freeing the listener from the sealed-in feeling of traditional in-ear headphones. Bose OpenAudio Technology directs rich, full-range sound toward the ear while minimizing leakage, so music stays personal even in shared spaces. Built for users who want audio and awareness at the same time, this model pairs naturally with daily routines — from open-plan offices to busy commutes. With Bluetooth 5.4, two integrated microphones, and an IPX4 splash-resistant build, this model is tuned for both music and clear voice calls throughout the day.

What Sets the Ultra Open Earbuds Apart

Two proprietary technologies anchor the listening experience. Bose OpenAudio Technology projects sound toward the ear canal without blocking it, while TrueSpatial Tech powers Immersive Audio for a wider, more lifelike soundstage. A new Cinema Mode optimizes playback for video content, delivering theater-like sound without isolating you from your surroundings. The flexible Light Flex Grip joint and skin-safe polycarbonate-and-silicone construction keep the buds secure during movement while remaining comfortable for hours of continuous wear.

Who the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Are For

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) are the right choice for listeners who want rich audio without losing touch with their surroundings — office workers, commuters, and anyone who values situational awareness during podcasts, calls, or background music. Because there is no active noise cancellation, the open design keeps traffic, conversations, and announcements audible, which makes them well suited to urban environments and shared workspaces. The 9-hour battery and lightweight cuff fit also suit users who wear earbuds for extended stretches and dislike the pressure of silicone ear tips. Compatible with both Android and iOS devices, this model is a strong match for buyers prioritizing comfort, call clarity, and a stylish, jewelry-like look over sealed isolation.
