Second-Generation Ultra Open Earbuds
The Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) are a direct successor to the original model, which launched approximately two-and-a-half years ago. Bose describes these as its "flagship open-ear experience," featuring a subtle redesign and improvements in both sound quality and battery life. The new version promises better bass and increased volume compared to its predecessor. It also includes a new Immersive Audio mode called Cinema, which provides a spatial audio experience for movies, TV shows, and video podcasts.
The redesigned case for the Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) now supports wireless charging and can stand upright. These earbuds will be available for preorder on September 19th for $299, with general availability beginning October 1st. Color options include black, white smoke, cherry chocolate, olive green, and sky pink.
Introducing Sport Open Earbuds
Alongside the second-generation Ultra Open Earbuds, Bose is introducing the new Sport Open Earbuds. This model is positioned as a more affordable alternative, priced at $199, and is designed to provide a more secure and stable fit during physical activities. The Sport Open Earbuds cater to users seeking open-ear audio for their active lifestyles.
Preorders for the Sport Open Earbuds also begin on September 19th, with availability starting October 1st. Color options for this model include black, white smoke, and eucalyptus green.
Key Improvements and Features
Both new open-ear products retain the clip-on silhouette of their predecessors. The Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) specifically highlight improved audio reproduction, deeper bass, louder volume, and clearer calls. While noise-canceling features are not present due to the open design, users can access a three-band EQ via the Bose app for sound customization.
