With Prime Day later this month — June 23 to 26 — there will be no shortage of savings, but we just spotted an early Prime Day deal worth jumping on now. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are $199 with Amazon offering $100 off the usual $299 sticker price. That’s a record low on some of our favorite open-ear earbuds — and this offer applies to several of the colors.
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are also among the best running headphones. They received high praise from our tester. We’ve previously seen these drop to around $229, so this new price is a significant drop. Just remember there’s no guarantee this deal will last.
In his review, CNET audio expert David Carnoy said, “If you can afford the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, you’re getting an excellent set of open earbuds that not only feature top-notch sound for this type of earbud but an appealing design in terms of a secure and comfortable fit.”
He didn’t love the price, but this deal helps alleviate that issue. These earbuds have amazing sound quality, a unique design and plenty of excellent features to boot.
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are a wild little twist on your usual in-ear buds. They offer an open-ear design that perches on the edge of your ears, letting in the world around you while still piping in your music with surprisingly full sound. Plus, they’ve got spatial audio and 27 hours of total battery life, and they stay put during workouts. They’re also IPX4 rated, so they’ll survive your sweat-inducing gym sessions.
We have no doubt in our minds that this is one of the best offers available right now. Just make sure you buy them soon if you want them because this $100 discount is only available for a limited time.

Why this deal matters
Headphones that cost hundreds of dollars may feel excessive, but the sound quality and features they deliver can make them worth it — if you can swing the price. Knocking $100 off puts them within reach for more people, and that’s always a win.
