Bose has introduced a significant price reduction on its Ultra Open Earbuds, lowering the cost by $100. The earbuds are now available for $199, down from the original $299, representing a 33 percent discount. This sale aligns with the lowest price point observed for the device to date.
The timing of the discount coincides with Bose’s upcoming product expansion. The company is set to release two new open-ear models on October 1: the Bose Sport Open Earbuds and the second-generation Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. As these newer iterations approach launch, the original model is being cleared out at a reduced rate.
Since their introduction in 2024, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have been credited with helping to mainstream the clip-on open-ear form factor. Unlike traditional in-ear buds, these devices wrap around the outer ear, a design that other brands such as Shokz had previously explored through bone-conduction technology. Bose’s entry into this fashionable, small-scale segment marked a major shift for the audio manufacturer.
Consumers interested in the deal can purchase the discounted earbuds through Amazon, Best Buy, and Bose’s official website.
Can anyone confirm if this $199 price is actually valid right now? Amazon shows it, but Best Buy still lists it higher.
How do the new sport models compare? I need sweat resistance, so I’m curious if the Gen 2 is worth the extra cash.
Typical clearance tactic. They mark up the original price just to make the discount look impressive before the new models arrive.
Thirty-three percent off is insane for Bose. I’ve been waiting for this drop to finally pull the trigger on a pair.
