Bose Ultra Open Earbuds White Smoke come in a soft, warm off-white rather than a bright white, closer to light stone than to a phone charger. Like every colour of this model, they hook around the outer edge of the ear and leave the canal open, so station announcements, a car behind you and a friend saying hello all reach you while the music plays. White Smoke and Black were the first two colours Bose launched on 15 February 2024. This colour suits people who walk, ride the metro and move around the city with their earbuds in all day.

Built for the commute, not for silence
Most earbuds try to shut the world out. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds White Smoke go the other way: the speaker sits just outside the canal, so the outside world stays audible. On a walk to the metro you still hear traffic and crossings, and on the platform you catch the next-train announcement without pulling a bud out. Auto Volume, switched on in the Bose app, raises the level as a street gets louder and lowers it again when things quieten, so you spend less time pressing the button on the barrel.
How the cuff stays in place
Each bud has three parts: a small speaker head at the entrance of the ear, a flexible arm coated in very soft silicone, and the battery barrel that rests behind the ear. The arm squeezes gently on the outer ear, so there is no tip that can loosen with sweat or chewing. A single bud of Bose Ultra Open Earbuds White Smoke weighs about 6 g, which is why many people forget they are wearing them. Bose says the design leaves room for glasses, caps and earrings, handy if you wear sunglasses outdoors in the UAE.
Who White Smoke suits
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds White Smoke are for anyone who wants the earbuds to look like part of the outfit rather than a piece of tech. It pairs well with white sneakers, linen, kanduras and light summer clothes, and against fair or light-brown hair it barely stands out. Because the finish is pale, makeup, sunscreen and dust show more than on Black. Wipe the silicone arm with a dry or barely damp soft cloth after a hot day, and keep the case closed in a bag so the buds stay clean.
Sound: OpenAudio and Immersive Audio
With nothing sealing the ear, Bose relies on OpenAudio, a custom transducer and tuned acoustic design that directs sound into your ear and limits leakage to people nearby. Immersive Audio widens the stage with two modes, Still for sitting and Motion for walking, where the sound follows your head. On Bose Ultra Open Earbuds White Smoke the bass is fuller than most open designs, yet lighter than sealed buds. The Bose app adds an adjustable EQ, and multipoint, added in July 2024, links two devices at once.
The rest, in brief
Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, and aptX Adaptive with Snapdragon Sound phones, or AAC and SBC on others. Bose quotes up to 7.5 hours per charge with Immersive Audio off and about 4.5 hours with it on, measured at 75 dBA; the case adds up to 19.5 hours, or 12 hours with Immersive Audio. A full charge takes about an hour, 10 minutes brings roughly two hours, and standby lasts up to 48 hours. IPX4 handles sweat and light rain.
Who This Is Not For
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds White Smoke are not for people who want silence on a flight or a loud bus: there is no noise cancelling, by design. Bass is lighter than sealed earbuds. The pale finish shows makeup and dust more than Black. Immersive Audio cuts playback to about 4.5 hours. IPX4 is not swim-proof. No power adapter comes in the box, and Bose lists USB-C charging only for the case.
