Bose Ultra Open Earbuds get a big $100 price drop

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds stand out from the usual wireless earbud crowd. Instead of sealing off your ears, these clip-on, cuff-shaped buds sit outside the ear canal, which helps you stay aware of what’s going on around you while still getting fuller sound than many open designs. There’s also a nice deal on them right now, which makes this a good time to take a closer look.

A big part of the appeal here is comfort. The unusual fit is one of the main reasons people pick the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds over regular in-ear models, especially for long listening sessions. Bose also includes Bluetooth multipoint, so the earbuds can stay connected to 2 devices at once, plus app-based controls and customization for a more tailored setup. Battery life is rated at up to 7 hours per charge, or about 4 hours with immersive features enabled, and the charging case adds about 19.5 hours.

These earbuds are also known for spacious, enjoyable sound for an open-ear model, along with solid call quality and everyday convenience. Software updates since launch have also improved connectivity. Even with Bose now announcing a 2nd Gen version, the original Ultra Open Earbuds remain a strong pick, especially when they drop in price like this.

At Amazon, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are down to $199 from their $299 RRP. That’s a 33% discount, saving you $100. At $199, they’ve never been cheaper.
