At KES 33,000, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds let you enjoy rich, private sound while staying fully aware of matatu horns, traffic, and conversations around you. Built for commuters and cyclists who've found sealed earbuds isolating.
- OpenAudio technology plays private, room-filling sound through a cuff that hooks over your ear — you stay aware of what's happening around you.
- All-day open-ear comfort means no ear fatigue on long Nairobi commutes or work-from-home calls.
- Bose Immersive Audio spatializes sound so music feels like it's playing around you, not just in your ear.
- IPX4 splash resistance handles Nairobi's rainy-season showers and sweat during a workout.
- Touch controls on the earbud handle calls, playback, and volume without reaching for your phone — hakuna haja ya kuchukua simu kila wakati.

Nairobi's boda boda and matatu traffic makes fully sealed, noise-cancelling earbuds risky for pedestrians and cyclists — Ultra Open Earbuds solve that by design, letting you hear approaching traffic while still enjoying music or a call. They're equally useful in open-plan offices where staying aware of colleagues matters, and IPX4 resistance means a sudden downpour during the long rains won't end your listening session.
Who It's Ideal For
- Commuters walking or cycling who need to stay aware of traffic and surroundings
- Office workers who take calls throughout the day and don't want in-ear fatigue
- Anyone who has found traditional in-ear or noise-cancelling earbuds uncomfortable for long wear
Who Should Consider Something Else
- Anyone prioritizing maximum noise cancellation for flights or noisy environments — trewrld's Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) are built for that instead
- Bass-heavy listening in loud environments, since the open-ear design leaks some sound and lets more ambient noise in
- Swimming or full submersion use — IPX4 covers splashes and sweat, not submersion
Pros
- Genuinely comfortable for all-day wear with no in-ear seal
- Keeps you safely aware of your surroundings while still delivering rich sound
- IPX4 rating handles Kenya's rainy season and workouts without worry
Cons
- No active noise cancellation — not the right pick for blocking out loud environments
- Bass response is naturally lighter than sealed in-ear designs
- Photography shown is Moonlight Grey; confirm current color stock before ordering Black or Blue
If active noise cancellation is the priority — for flights, noisy offices, or blocking out Nairobi traffic entirely — trewrld's Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen) deliver Bose's best in-ear noise cancellation instead of the open-ear design here.
"My go-to for all things tech! High-quality products at great prices, customer service is truly outstanding." — Ivy Nzioka, Google review
Verdict: The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are for anyone who wants great sound without losing awareness of the world around them — ideal for commuting, cycling, or long office days. At KES 33,000 (Black) / 34,000 (Blue), they trade noise cancellation for comfort and safety, which is exactly the point.
Are the Ultra Open Earbuds noise cancelling?
No — they're designed to keep you aware of your surroundings; for active noise cancellation, see the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen).
Are they waterproof?
They carry an IPX4 rating for splash and sweat resistance, not full waterproofing or submersion.
