Bose has recently unveiled its second-generation Ultra Open Earbuds, an upgrade to the model introduced in 2024. The new earbuds maintain the distinctive open-ear cuff design while introducing several enhancements. Each earbud boasts an adjustable flex joint for a snug fit, and they sport a more streamlined metal finish and a sturdier case. However, the IPX4 water resistance rating remains unchanged from the previous version.
According to Bose, the earbuds deliver rich, private sound through its OpenAudio technology. They also incorporate TrueSpatial Tech for immersive audio experiences, including a Cinema Mode that aims to replicate the theater-like sound. Notably, the device does not incorporate active noise cancellation, a feature that is likely expected given the form factor.
The Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) are equipped with two microphones that, in conjunction with AI-driven software, focus on the user's voice to ensure clearer calls. The earbuds connect via Bluetooth 5.4, featuring Snapdragon Sound (aptX) and EQ support. They also support Google Fast Pair and multipoint connectivity.
Bose has notably improved the battery life of the earbuds. While the original version could provide up to 7.5 hours of playback, the updated model now offers nine hours of listening time. The charging case extends this to 19.5 hours.
