Bose's newest soundbars can pair with its Ultra Open Earbuds for a virtual surround sound experience. Here's how it works.
For most folks, using a set of wireless headphones or earbuds with a soundbar offers two main benefits: You can listen privately without disturbing others in your home , and you can hear details like dialogue more clearly. Recently, Sonos added to these scenarios. Its Ace headphones can reproduce 5.1 or full 7.1.4 spatial audio when grouped with one of the company’s compatible soundbars.
It took some time to figure out the right settings. But once I did, I found the result was impressive. Music can also get in on the Personal Surround Sound act. Depending on the track the effect can range from a slightly fuller sound to a quite noticeable added width and depth. Lusaint’s cover of Wicked Game grows to encompass the whole room, while Fleetwood Mac’s Little Lies comes across nearly unchanged.Open-ear earbuds are known for their ability to let you hear the world around you. But that often comes at the expense of low-end frequency response.
Applied to Personal Surround Sound, this could have kept the virtual surround speakers locked in their correct relative positions. But instead, they follow your head movements. If you’re already wearing the Ultra Open Earbuds , you’ll notice you can hear the same audio as the soundbar. In this mode, they act like any other set of grouped Bose wireless headphones or earbuds — you can mute the soundbar while still listening to the earbuds, vice versa, or something in between.
