Heads up if you've been eyeing the Bose Ultra Open earbuds — they just dropped to AED 799 at Virgin Megastore, down from AED 999. This is actually a decent deal, especially since these barely ever go on sale and AED 200 off brings them into more reasonable territory.
For context, these are the open-ear ones that sit near your ears instead of blocking them completely. If you work from home and need to hear the doorbell, or you're someone who gets claustrophobic with traditional earbuds, this design makes a lot of sense. The audio quality is solid — it's Bose, so you know what you're getting — and they're surprisingly comfortable for long wear.
Key things worth knowing:
- Open design means you stay aware of your surroundings (great for safety if you run outside)
- Battery life is solid with quick charging when you need it
- True wireless with that secure Bose fit that actually stays put
The catch: they're definitely not for everyone. If you want maximum noise isolation or bass-heavy sound, traditional in-ear buds are better. But if you've been frustrated by regular earbuds falling out or making you feel disconnected from the world, these solve that problem really well.
Honestly, at AED 799 this makes way more sense than the original AED 999 price. Worth grabbing if the open-ear thing appeals to you; totally fine to skip if you're happy with regular earbuds.
