Bose is updating its Sport Open Earbuds line with a new clip-on design that replaces the older loop-style fit. The new clip-on design aims to provide a secure fit for active users while allowing ambient sound to pass through. The Bose Sport Open Earbuds offer a new open-ear option that emphasizes stability during physical activity.
Clip-on design replaces loop fit with Bluetooth 5.4 and Google service integration
The new earbuds, identified as model SPORTOPN26, utilize a clip-on architecture that wraps around the ear. The clip-on design keeps the ear canal open, distinguishing it from traditional in-ear or over-ear headphones. The device supports Bluetooth 5.4 and Multipoint connectivity for seamless switching between paired devices.
