Overview

Open-ear earbuds

Bose's premium clip-on open-ear earbuds, updated with a new driver, Cinema Mode and a wireless charging case. They keep aptX Adaptive on compatible Android phones, and their IPX4 rating covers sweat and splashes but not dust.

  • More bass and volume

    A new driver is rated for deeper bass and more volume than the first generation's. Reviewers found the bass much stronger and the earbuds loud enough for noisy commutes.

  • Cinema Mode

    Cinema Mode widens the soundstage for video and podcasts while keeping dialogue centred, alongside head-tracked Immersive Audio for music.

  • Wireless charging case

    The redesigned case charges on wireless chargers as well as over USB-C, and it stands upright. The first generation's case has no wireless charging.

Battery

Rated up to 9 hours per charge, or 5 hours with Immersive Audio or Auto Volume on and 4 hours with both. The case adds up to 19.5 hours. A 10-minute charge gives up to 2 hours.
