Bose Ultra Open earbuds review: unique open-fit and great sound

Bluetooth earbuds fit around side of the ear without blocking it for full awareness with music and calls

Bose’s latest earbuds are very different from its previous noise-cancelling champs, designed to let the sound of the outside in, rather than blocking it out and attaching to your ear, more like jewellery than gadgets.

They are the latest evolution of Bose’s open audio tech that uses small speakers to play music into your ears without blocking them, last seen on the excellent Frames audio glasses that have been discontinued.
