Generally , you await earbuds to go in your auricle canal . Because , you know , that ’s what earbuds do . But today , Bose is announcing its later sincerely wireless earbuds — the Bose Sport Open Earbuds — and the company claims they do n’t go in , over , or on your ears at all .
Well then , where the hell do they go ?
harmonize to Bose’spress expiration , the Bose Sport Open Earbuds sit above your capitulum canal thanks to an funnily determine hook affixation . ( Though , if you look at the picture below it sort of look like it ’s “ cover ” a teeny bit of the ear canal … ) If you read sheet medicine , it sort of depend like thebass clef . purportedly , you ’ll be able to learn whatever you ’re listening to at whatever volume you want , but without other the great unwashed eavesdropping . Bose says you ’re just suppose to twist the hook onto your pinna ’s outer ridge , and that it delivers sound with “ virtually no skin contact ” and without squeezing or vibrations . Bose claims the petite dipole transducer in each inclosure present percipient audio recording while cancel out other noise , while the microphones are capable of isolating your voice from other stochasticity and hint .

Spec - wise , the earbuds are 48 mm wide and 55 mm gamey — so it appears that these are relatively braggart boys . TheJabra Elite Active 75 MT , for exercise , are 19.4 mm wide and 16.2 millimeter high-pitched . Bose also say the earbuds “ weigh a mere 14 grams per bud . ” OK , but the AirPods Pro are 5.4 gm per bud and the Jabra Elite Active 75 t are 5.5 gm . For connectivity , there ’s both an “ etched feeler ” and Bluetooth 5.1 . The earbuds also have an IPX4 rating and an estimated 8 hours of battery life history .
As the name implies , these earbuds are meant for outdoor enthusiasts — specifically runner , hikers , and cyclist who want to take heed to music while keep an spike out for ambient noise , like traffic or a chatty exercise collaborator . There are ivory conductivity headphones out there that promise to do the same matter , but those are by and large in force for the auditory sense impaired or less rigorous activity . If you ’ve ever used a span , the sound caliber is n’t as serious as regular earbuds , and bet on the model , they sometimes slide off your headway while running .
We ’ve seen this sort of undetermined audio technical school from Bose before — specifically in itsBose Framessunglasses which double as a pair of earphone . When I tested those , they surprisingly deliver on that whole “ listen to your euphony but others ca n’t hear it ” promise . We ’ll have to essay these earbuds out , however , to see whether they get you a alike experience and if the heavier weight and ear hook are well-to-do enough for recitation .
