As the name implies, the Sports Open earplugs are intended for sports. To help with that, they have an IPX4 water resistance rating. You’ll also benefit a lot from it, as Bose claims the earbuds will last eight hours on a single charge. Rather than relying on bone conduction, which can lack volume and bass, these work a bit more like traditional earplugs.

But instead of going into your ear, they sit at the top of your outer ear. That leaves your ear open to hear what’s going on around you, but also lets you hear your music as if you had a speaker with you – very close to your head. Like most true wireless earbuds, they include microphones so you can answer calls. Bose promises to stay on your ears while resisting “sweat, heat, rain and snow”.

The Sport Open earbuds use Bluetooth 5.1 and come with a protective carrying case and charging dock. You control it with the Bose Music app. You can pre-order the Bose Sport Open Earbuds through the site today and they should ship
