Ahh, the wild world of earbuds.
This really is too much for this time of year.
What this actually means is Boses new earbuds dispense with the rubber tip you normally find on these devices.
Instead, the Sport Open Earbuds use a contoured earhook that grasp your sound flaps outer ridge.
According to the company, this is all achieved with virtually no skin contact.
Sounds a lot like life during lockdown.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Its important to note that Boses new earbuds dont work via bone conduction.
One assumes this will work in a similar way tothe Bose Frames.
The question though is… why?
Why release headphones like this?
Once you get over the initial surprise, Boses new earbuds do have an exploitable niche.
Sometimes, I just want my ears tobreathe.
The Sport Open Earbuds can solve this.
Then there are exercises where blocking out noise from the world isnt exactly a great idea.
No one wants to be running along a road at night without being able to hear a damn thing.
Unless thats your kink, then more power to you, friend.
Before we go, lets talk a little about specs.
One downside of Boses new earbuds are their bulkiness.
The company says they measure 48mm by 55mm and each bud weighs a mere 14g.
For some perspective, the AirPods Pro measure 21.8mm by 30.9mm and weigh 5.4g per bud.
There may be some benefits to this though.
I guess its all down to whether youre happy to take some extra weight for added juice.
Basically, Im intrigued and excited by these things and cant wait to get them on my sound flaps.
Boses new earbuds will set you back $200 and will ship sometime in January.
