Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

Named the best premium open earbuds, with impressive immersive audio and design, but price and extra cost for wireless charging may deter some.

A well-executed first open earbud with comfortable fit and an entertaining, weighty sound, held back by price and slightly limited detail.

One of the best open-ear designs, comfortable and aware of surroundings, though bass, loud environments and call quality are weak and the price is high.

The pick of the open-ear earbuds with engaging sound and comfort, though expensive and with limited spatial audio effect.

Innovative and comfy with impressively clear sound, but noisy places overwhelm them and the high price is a tough sell.

Exceptionally comfortable and aware of surroundings with good calls and app, but sound is merely good and bass-light, with no noise cancelling.

A bold, unique design that blends music with surroundings, but thin bass and a missing multipoint make the high price hard to justify.

Named the most comfortable pick, these clip-on open earbuds are easy to wear all day and keep you aware of your surroundings.

The tester found these among the best clip-on earbuds, staying put through runs and long bike rides while remaining light and unobtrusive.

Best open-ear design the reviewer has seen, comfortable with surprisingly good audio, but expensive with software bugs and weak immersive-mode battery.
