With the Sport Open Earbuds, Bose has introduced new earphones for athletes. The earphones should leave the ear canal free and allow the wearer to continue to perceive ambient noise. The earphones are held in place by large brackets.

In contrast to comparable products, Bose does not use bone conduction, but a technology called “Open Audio” . Bose already used this technology in its Frames headphone sunglasses. The headphones built into it direct the sound precisely into the wearer’s ears so that outside people cannot overhear. Calls are made via integrated microphones.

No charging case Like normal earphones, the Sport Open Earbuds connect via Bluetooth 5.1 the playback device. The battery life indicates Bose with 8 hours. An accompanying carrying case comes without an integrated battery, so it cannot charge the earphones. Instead, buyers have to plug the open earbuds into the supplied charging station.

So far, the Bose Sport Open Earbuds have only been offered in the USA, where they 200 cost US dollars. It is unclear whether they will come to Germany.
