Open-ear earbuds have been starting to pick up a lot of popularity, and I can see why. I replaced my in-ear buds with the OpenRock S open-ear earbuds, and all my commutes have been safer than ever. The open-ear design lets the earbuds offer full environmental awareness, and you get better comfort. But if you want something fancier, you should check out the newly launched Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
These new buds follow the new naming convention of Bose headphones and earbuds. Just a few months ago, the company revamped its existing lineup with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. But the question is, do the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds live up to the Ultra name?
Main Highlights of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are in the premium segment due to the $299 price tag that they come with. But what exactly are you getting for that money? Let’s give you a rundown of the main highlights:
A Premium Open-ear Design
If you asked me, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds look more like a fashion accessory than a pair of open-ear earbuds. Of course, there’s one color option that does make the buds look sleek. As for the one that looks more like a fashion accessory, it’s the White Smoke, which has reflective color coating, making it stand out in your ears.
The other color option is called Black, which also has a reflective coating but is more subtle than the other one. But it’s not just the outlook that matters for wireless earbuds. Instead, it’s more of the comfort level, secure fit, and stability that matters. Well, the good news is that Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have these checked out.

Besides, the open-ear earbuds come with flexible joints, allowing you to get a comfortable fit on your outer ear. As the design makes the buds hang off your auricles, you won’t even feel that you’re wearing something on the ears. They also feature a U-shaped body, which ensures a high overall stability.
Moreover, the U-shaped design of the Ultra Open Earbuds enhances the fit. You can do pretty much everything with these buds on without needing to worry about them falling off. The lightweight body of the buds enhances the comfort even further.
Sound Performance of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds don’t skimp on the sound either. They come with Bose Immersive Audio, which offers spatial audio to let you be in the moment. You will feel like the music is being played right in front of you. Now, while the open-ear nature usually means that there will be sound leakage, Bose has taken care of it.
To make the listening experience with Ultra Open Earbuds more private, the buds utilize OpenAudio technology. This technology lowers the sound leak by directing the audio right on your canals.
Battery Life, Controls, and Other Features
The battery performance of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds is reliable too. You can get up to 7.5 hours of runtime from the buds, while the case offers an extra 19.5 hours of battery life. The buds also have easy controls, allowing you to make quick adjustments to the playback.
Other highlights include support for the Bose Music App for customizations, SimpleSync for seamless pairing, and an IPX4 water-resistance rating.
