Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black never go inside your ear canal. Each bud wraps around the edge of the ear like a cuff: the small speaker rests at the opening of the canal, the battery barrel sits behind the ear, and a soft silicone-coated arm joins the two. Black was one of the two launch colours when Bose released the model on 15 February 2024, and it is the most discreet way to wear it, reading as a dark accessory rather than a gadget. You hear your music and the room around you at the same time, which is the point of the design.

A discreet black cuff for long working days
Because nothing presses into the canal, there are no ear tips to size and no sealed pressure after a few hours. That is why Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black suit people who keep earbuds in from the first meeting to the drive home. Bose says the cuff works with glasses, hats and jewellery, and the black finish with its brushed metallic accents blends with dark hair, a dark suit or an abaya without drawing the eye. Colleagues can still get your attention at your desk, because the open design leaves you hearing your name, the phone on the next desk and the door.
OpenAudio and what people next to you hear
Open earbuds usually leak sound, since there is no seal to contain it. Bose built OpenAudio to limit that: a custom transducer and a carefully tuned acoustic path aim the sound towards your ear rather than into the room. With Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black at moderate volume, someone sitting beside you hears very little, though it is not silent at high levels. Bass is fuller than you might expect from an open design, but it will never hit like a sealed earbud such as the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, and in loud places you will need to raise the volume.
Calls, two devices and a single button
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black connect over Bluetooth 5.3. Multipoint arrived in a July 2024 update through the Bose app, so the buds can stay linked to a laptop and a phone at once and switch when a call comes in. Each bud has one physical button on top of the barrel for play, pause, skip and volume, and you can assign a shortcut such as Switch Source. Android users get Google Fast Pair, and Snapdragon Sound phones can stream with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive; other phones use AAC or SBC.
Who Black suits
Choose Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black if you want the earbuds to stay in the background. On a visible cuff, colour matters more than on a bud hidden in the canal, and Black is the safe choice for formal offices, client meetings and evening wear. It also hides scuffs and fingerprints on the barrel better than White Smoke or the pastel finishes. The one downside is practical: a black bud dropped on dark asphalt or a car floor is harder to find than a bright one, so the case is worth using every time you take them off.
Battery and charging in brief
Bose rates Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black at up to 7.5 hours with Immersive Audio off and about 4.5 hours with it on, tested at 75 dBA. The case adds up to 19.5 more hours, or 12 hours with Immersive Audio. A full charge takes about an hour, 10 minutes in the case gives around two hours, and standby reaches 48 hours. Immersive Audio offers a Still mode for sitting and a Motion mode that follows your head. Auto Volume, adjustable EQ and SimpleSync with Bose smart speakers and soundbars are in the Bose app.
Who This Is Not For
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Black are not for anyone who wants noise cancelling: the open design cannot block a plane cabin or a busy metro. Bass is lighter than sealed earbuds, and in loud places you will turn the volume up. Immersive Audio cuts playback to about 4.5 hours. IPX4 covers sweat and splashes only, so no swimming. No power adapter is included, and Bose does not list wireless charging for the case.
