Bose Ultra Open Earbuds 2nd Gen White Smoke Wireless In-ear headphones

Open-Ear Wireless Earbuds with Private, Immersive Sound

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) in White Smoke are wireless Bluetooth earbuds for listeners who want their music and the world at the same time. Unlike in-ear buds that seal the canal, this model uses a cuff-shaped open-ear design that rests gently on the ear, leaving it open so traffic, conversations and ambient cues stay audible. Proprietary OpenAudio Technology projects rich sound toward the ear while minimizing leakage to bystanders.

Two microphones paired with SpeechClarity Technology isolate the voice for clearer calls, and the included case supports USB-C and wireless charging.

Standout Features

What separates this model from conventional earbuds is the open cuff architecture combined with Bose's spatial-audio processing. TrueSpatial Tech creates a wider soundstage that places audio in front of the listener, while a new Cinema Mode optimizes the mix for film and video content. The Light Flex Grip fit, polycarbonate and silicone construction, and IPX4 water resistance make the earbuds suitable for commutes, gym sessions and long office days.

Technical Specifications

Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint keeps two devices connected at once, while support for the A2DP, AVRCP, BLE and HFP profiles ensures broad compatibility with Android and iOS phones, tablets and computers.

Who These Open Earbuds Are For

These earbuds are the right choice for listeners who want quality audio without losing touch with their environment. Office workers, runners, cyclists, parents and commuters will all benefit from the non-occluding cuff fit. Listeners who prefer deep noise isolation should look at in-ear alternatives with active noise cancellation, since this open design intentionally lets outside sound in.
