The Bose Ultra Open earbuds are on sale for their lowest price ever

Save $119.01: The Bose Ultra Open earbuds are available for just $179.99 from Woot as of Feb. 23. At full price, these earbuds cost $299, so this deal saves you 40% — and marks the lowest price we've ever seen them at.

The best open earbuds can sound rich, robust, and clear, despite their design.

Considering that open earbuds sit outside the ear canal, it's not the easiest feat. It's one of the reason the Bose Ultra Open earbuds stood out to me when I tested them. It's also one of the reasons the earbuds are priced the way they are, at $299.

Though the price point is steep, it's much more manageable if you can grab them on sale. And as of Feb. 23, the Bose Ultra Open earbuds aren't just on sale — they're available for their lowest price ever, at $179.99. You'll find the deal at Woot, a retailer that typically sells refurbished and new products. For these Bose earbuds, you can grab them in an unopened box in the black, lunar blue, and white smoke colorway.

At the time of writing, the Bose buds are available at Amazon for full price — on sale, we've seen them drop as low as $199 at the retailer, but never lower.

So what makes the Bose open earbuds worth the hefty price tag? At their best, open earbuds walk the line between keeping you aware of the world around you while also letting you enjoy your listening experience. The Bose Ultra Open earbuds have a clip design, which hooks around the ear — in my testing, I found them to be one of the most comfortable pairs of open earbuds available. Mashable contributor RJ Andersen also wrote the buds were "hands down the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried," in her review. In addition, they truly are one of the best sounding open earbuds money can buy.

Their main drawbacks are their more limited battery life (which tops out at four hours with immersive audio on, and seven with it off) and high price point. At least with this deal, one of those points is taken care of.
