Bose Ultra Open
Открытая конструкция с гибким шарнирным креплением обеспечивает естественную осведомленность об окружении, не изолируя от внешнего мира, а технология OpenAudio сохраняет звук удивительно приватным. Функция Bose Immersive Audio добавляет пространственное звучание, а 10-минутная быстрая зарядка дает 2 часа работы при общем времени прослушивания до 7.5 часов с кейсом на 19.5 часов. Эти наушники лучше всего подходят для бегунов и офисных работников, которым критически важно слышать происходящее вокруг во время длительного использования.

Performance
Sound quality lands in the 87th percentile, which is genuinely impressive for an open-ear design. Bose's OpenAudio tech keeps your music surprisingly private while letting ambient noise flow through. The Immersive Audio spatial mode is fun but eats battery, dropping from 7.5 hours to around 4.5. The real surprise is the mic. Four microphones should mean decent call quality, but it sits at the 54th percentile and owners agree. In noisy environments, callers struggle to hear you clearly. For a pair of earbuds at this price, that's a letdown.

vs Competition
Against the Sony WF-1000XM6 or Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds lose on pure audio performance and noise cancellation. Those are closed-ear buds with ANC that crushes background noise. But that's not the point here. The Bose are for people who need to hear traffic, coworkers, or their kids while listening. The Technics EAH-AZ100 offers better call quality and similar sound in a traditional form factor. If you need open-ear specifically, Bose is the leader. If you just want great earbuds, the Sony or Apple options are better all-rounders.

Value & Pricing
Value is a mixed bag here. These earbuds are expensive, no way around it. The affordability percentile is a brutal 5th, meaning almost everything else in this category costs less. And the price spread is wild. In the US, you'll see listings from USD 94 to USD 303. That's a huge gap, and the lower end is where these start to make sense. If you're paying full retail, you're overpaying. Shop around, check renewed listings, and don't pay more than the low end of that range. At USD 94, these are a steal. At USD 303, you're getting fleeced.
Price History
Подробнее
Overview
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are the pair you buy when you refuse to choose between hearing your music and hearing the world. The clip-on design hooks around the back of your ear, leaves your ear canal completely open, and somehow still delivers sound that's rich enough to enjoy. It's not for bass heads or noise-canceling purists, but for runners, cyclists, and office workers who need situational awareness, this is the best open-ear option we've tested. The catch? Call quality is rough, and the price is steep for what you get.
Common Questions
Q: Can I wear these while running or working out?
Yes, and that's exactly what they're built for. The clip-on design hooks around your ear and stays put through runs and workouts. The IPX4 rating means sweat and light rain won't kill them either.
Q: How is the battery life really?
You'll get about 7.5 hours on a charge, but that drops to around 4.5 hours if you use Immersive Audio. The case adds another 19.5 hours, so you're looking at roughly 27 hours total. A quick 10-minute charge gives you 2 hours back.
Q: Will these work for phone calls?
Honestly, no. The mic quality is the weakest part of these earbuds. In quiet rooms it's passable, but in any real-world noise, callers will struggle to hear you. If calls are a priority, get something else.
Who Should Skip This
If you take a lot of phone calls or need strong noise cancellation, these aren't for you. The mic is genuinely bad, and there's no ANC to speak of. Go get the Sony WF-1000XM6 or Apple AirPods Pro 3rd Generation instead. If you have small ears, the clip-on fit can also be hit or miss, so try before you buy.
Verdict
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are a niche product that nails their niche. If you need open-ear earbuds for running, cycling, or office awareness, these are the best you can buy right now. The comfort is outstanding, the fit is secure, and the sound is better than any open-ear competitor. But the poor call quality and high price mean they're not for everyone. If calls matter to you, look elsewhere. If awareness and all-day comfort are your priorities, these are worth it, especially if you can find them at the lower end of the price range.
