At CES 2023, Bose introduced the Ultra Open Earbuds, which initially went on sale via American fashion and lifestyle brand Kith as a special edition. Now, the regular variants of these earbuds are finally available to buy through retailers like Amazon for $299 in the US.
Designed to let users enjoy music while remaining aware of their surroundings, the Ultra Open Earbuds come with a cuff-shaped design that’s both comfortable for all-day wear and stylish enough to complement accessories like hats, glasses, or jewelry. This design strategy sets them apart as more than just earbuds; they’re a fashion statement.
Bose has equipped the Ultra Open Earbuds with the high-quality drivers used in the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, ensuring premium sound. They support Bose Immersive Audio, which, when activated, reduces battery life from 7.5 hours to 4.5 hours.
The earbuds are rated IPX4, indicating they are not ideal for exercise due to their water resistance rating. They feature Bluetooth 5.3 and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive connectivity for a reliable and high-quality connection. However, at launch, they lack Bluetooth Multipoint support, meaning they cannot connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
In related news, Bose has recently launched its QuietComfort Ultra headphones for Indian customers. These headphones debuted globally back in September featuring three audio modes, namely Quiet Mode, Aware Mode, and Immersion Mode as well as a 24-hour battery life.
