Recently, someone leaked the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, and now Bose has officially introduced them as true wireless earbuds with Bose OpenAudio technology. These new wireless earbuds from Bose have a unique design that keeps the ear canal open to maintain awareness of the surroundings. The auricle supports the weight of the earbuds, enhancing comfort during wear.
Similar to the Huawei FreeClip (REVIEW), Bose has incorporated technology into a clip that attaches to the back of the ear cup, distributing weight and securing the earphones without blocking the ear canal. This design choice allows users to stay connected to their environment, but it also means that these earphones do not offer passive or active noise cancellation. As a result, they may not be the best choice for long journeys on trains or flights.
According to Bose, the Ultra Open Earbuds are more of a fashion accessory than traditional earbuds. Although there is no detailed information provided on the technology, water resistance, or battery life, we can assume that Bose, like its competitors, relies on large, dynamic drivers to deliver a satisfactory audio performance, despite not needing noise isolation for strong bass production.
