Bose Introduces Two Open-Ear Earbuds at Tokyo BOSE GYM Event
Bose is pitching open-ear audio at two ends of the same buyer, an everyday pair with spatial audio and a sport pair built for sweat, which puts the format up against everyday earbuds rather than only workout gear.

Bose held a media event in Tokyo on October 14 called BOSE GYM, where it introduced the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Generation) and the Bose Sport Open Earbuds. Attendees wore both products, took part in a workout with trainer Aya, and heard from Raza Haider, who oversees the company's Premium Consumer Audio Division.
Bose used a hands-on Tokyo event to put two open-ear models in ears rather than on a spec sheet. The Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Generation) keep the cuff shape of the first model, add a metallic cap, a new driver, Cinema Mode with Bose TrueSpatial, Bluetooth 5.4 with multipoint and Snapdragon Sound, and up to 9 hours per charge, 28.5 hours with the case. The Sport Open Earbuds use a silicone C-arm, physical buttons and an auto volume function, with up to 7 hours, 29 hours with the case. Fitness trainer Aya led the workout.
