Our Verdict
SoundPeats PearlClip Pro
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are better open-fit buds than the SoundPeats PearlClip Pro. But that makes sense as the Bose are many times more expensive. As is natural with open-fit buds, both pairs lack bass and are better suited to speech-based content, but the Bose have a flatter, more balanced sound, while the SoundPeats can render voices a little harsh or honky. The Bose also have a longer continuous battery life. Still, their microphones perform very similarly. Ultimately, the choice between these two will likely come down to budget, and it's notable that the SoundPeats put up a good fight against their much more expensive rival.
