Bose has introduced 2 new open ear clip headphones designed for ambient awareness and daily fitness. The launch brings the second generation Ultra Open Earbuds with upgraded bass alongside a more affordable Sport Open model built for runners. Both pairs arrive in retail stores next month starting at $199.
The flagship Ultra Open Earbuds second generation attach to the outer edge of the ear and push audio directly into the canal with minimal sound leakage. There is no active noise cancellation here. Bose built them specifically so listeners can hear traffic and surroundings while enjoying music. Redesigned acoustic drivers boost low end bass response and increase maximum volume output compared to the original version. For watching movies, a new Cinema Mode powered by TrueSpatial processing expands the soundstage while keeping spoken dialogue crisp.
Athletes looking for a tighter grip get the new Sport Open Earbuds. This model uses a thinner cuff coated in matte silicone to keep the clips locked in place during sprints and sudden head turns. The physical control button has a raised grip texture so runners can find it quickly on the move. Smart volume regulation automatically adjusts music output based on background environmental noise. Battery performance delivers up to 7 hours of playback per charge with another 22 hours supplied by the wireless charging case.
Bose is pricing the Ultra Open Earbuds second generation at $299 across 5 colors including black, white, cherry, olive, and pink. The Sport Open Earbuds retail for $199 with 3 color choices consisting of black, white, and green. Preorders open this week before shipments reach store shelves next month.
