Bose Ultra Open Earbuds – Spatial Audio, 48Hr Battery, IPX4

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (Driftwood Sand, Limited Edition) – $199.00 (33% off, was $299) · 4.0/5 · 6,072 ratings · 1K+ bought last month Bose's clip-on open-ear earbuds with OpenAudio — you hear your surroundings fully while getting rich, private sound. Bose Immersive Audio spatializes music, the flexible-joint cuff design stays put even running, IPX4 water resistance, Bluetooth multipoint, and simple button controls. Up to 7.5 hrs play (4.5 with Immersive) plus ~19.5 hrs from the case; USB-C cable included. Nine colors. Reviews land at 4.0/5 (62% five-star). The big wins: exceptional comfort (you forget they're on), a secure cuff fit that doesn't fall out, full surrounding awareness for running/walking/work, and genuinely good private sound with real bass for an open design. Many who can't use in-ear buds (small canals, ear-wax or infection issues) call these life-changing. Caveats — and they're notable: call/mic quality is weak (multiple reviewers report being told they cut out), so these aren't ideal if you take a lot of calls. They have no noise cancellation (by design — useless in loud gyms/planes), the right bud drains faster than the left, and at full price ($299) most feel they're overpriced. There are scattered reliability complaints (a charging-case failure at ~4 months with a frustrating Bose warranty experience) and some find the Bose app introduces connectivity glitches — a few suggest skipping it. Earrings can magnetize to the charging contacts.
