Save $100 on Bose Ultra open earbuds on Amazon

If you’re someone who uses earbuds a lot throughout the day, but doesn't like them jammed in your ear all the time, the Bose Ultra open earbuds are the perfect solution. They’re currently on sale for $199.00 on Amazon, down from their $299.00 list price.

These unique-looking earbuds use a clip-on system instead of sitting inside your ear canal. The design splits into two parts connected by a flexible joint that hooks around your ear, which allows the speaker to be near your ear canal without actually blocking it. This means you can listen to music while still hearing conversations, traffic, or whatever else is happening around you.

Bose implemented their Open Audio technologies into these earbuds to make music feel more dimensional. Now, they won't deliver the same bass punch as traditional sealed earbuds, but the trade-off is awareness of your surroundings without sacrificing too much audio quality. Using open earbuds is certainly superior to artificial ambient sound features that many in-ear earbuds have.

The buds are rated IPX4 for water resistance, so sweat and light rain won't be an issue. They're light enough at 6.4 grams per bud, so you can wear them for the entire day without feeling the strain on your ears. The flexible joint lets you adjust placement until you find the right balance between comfort and sound.

Battery life lasts for up to 7 hours of playback, or around 4 hours with Immersive Audio mode enabled. The charging case provides an extra 2.5 full charges for up to 48 hours of standby time. A USB-C cable is included for charging the case.

Finally, button controls are simple and handle music playback, calls, and switching between different sound modes. There’s also the Bluetooth multipoint that lets you switch between devices like your phone and laptop without manual re-pairing.
