Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Ultra Open Earbuds stay in place during physical activity?
They use a flexible joint and a lightweight clip design that hooks gently around the back of your ear. The grip is secure enough for running and workouts without creating pressure or discomfort.
Can other people hear what I'm listening to?
The OpenAudio technology is designed to direct sound into your ear canal while minimizing leakage. At moderate volumes, sound remains largely private, though at very high volumes some leakage is possible.
What is Bose Immersive Audio and how does it affect battery life?
Immersive Audio is a spatialized sound mode that creates a more three-dimensional listening experience. It does use more power — battery life drops from up to 7 hours in standard stereo mode to about 4 hours with Immersive Audio enabled.
Can I connect these earbuds to two devices at the same time?
Yes. Bluetooth multipoint allows you to maintain connections to two devices simultaneously, so you can switch between your phone and laptop without manually re-pairing.
Do these earbuds have active noise cancellation?
No. The open-ear design is intentionally meant to let ambient sound in, so there is no noise cancellation or isolation. They are built for situational awareness, not noise blocking.
