The Morning After The Morning After Engadget

If existing models of wireless earbuds never quite worked for you, Bose is ready to try a new design. These wireless Sport Open Earbuds don't go in or over your ear canal. Arttalk Instead they sit above it, allowing you to get the sound and hear sounds of everything going on around you.
