Bose already sells a number of different true wireless alternatives to Apple’s industry-leading AirPods, the most impressive of which are priced at a whopping $280, but while the newest such product comes without state-of-the-art noise cancellation technology, its main claim to fame is… pretty original.
Despite keeping you very much in tune with everything happening around you, the hot new Bose earbuds also claim to be able to produce “high-quality” sound directed toward the wearer and “away from everyone else.” That’s certainly a bold promise considering your ears are left “completely open” during both your outdoor and indoor training sessions, when you might need all the audio motivation you can get.
Tipping the scales at a measly 14 grams per bud, these bad boys can “lock in place” with no ear tip and “virtually” no skin contact while also forgoing the bone conduction technology used by various similar products in the past.
Protected against sweat, as well as “heat, rain, and snow”, the Bose Sport Open Earbuds promise to be comfortable and secure in addition to gentle on your ears for up to eight hours on a single charge. Oddly enough, it doesn’t look like you’ll be getting a standard charging case included in the retail box, with a protective carrying case and stationary charging base capable of delivering up to three hours of continuous listening time in just 30 minutes instead bundled in here.
