The White Lotus star recently collaborated with Bose on a new pair of the audio giant's best-selling Ultra Open Earbuds , with a cuff-shaped clip that allows for astonishingly private audio quality while your ears stay totally open to your environment. Designed with a glossy black finish (representing her "fearless style") and her signature chrome star, these exclusive buds are a visual nod to Lisa's recent debut solo album Alter Ego , and come priced at $399. According to Bose, "each detail speaks to her bold expression and passion for music."

"After falling in love with the Ultra Open Earbuds , I wanted to bring my fans a reimagined design that is as bold as my music and style," the K-pop superstar says in a statement. "Music and fashion are how I express myself, so creating a custom pair was such a natural fit and evolution of my partnership with Bose. My earbuds are always with me, so I never have to sacrifice exceptional sound for style. I would style it like an accessory, as one of my earpieces."
Lisa has also previously brought the vibes as the face of another Bose drop, the limited-edition SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker in a vibrant petal-pink for Spring. For this new collab, though, fans can also enter to win a meet-and-greet with Lisa (along with a Crystal Edition of the buds) with every purchase of the Bose x Lisa Ultra Open Earbuds (limited to two items per order). If you want to enter, you should act fast — the giveaway runs through May 17, and the drawing will be conducted on or around May 27.

The Ultra Open Earbuds were our top pick for the best open earbuds of the year so far, which offered a surprisingly secure fit, despite the unusual design that clips around the ear. The earbuds have a physical playback button, which comes in handy in preventing accidental touches during movement. The drivers do a good job of angling the sound toward the ear while leaving the ear canal open. Crucially, Bose put audio quality first in designing the Open Earbuds, meaning they're not just for workouts.
Lisa is also planning a girl's trip for the summer with Blackpink (aka a 10-city world tour ) and taking her new Ultra Open earbuds along for the ride — and all of their fans are invited, with tickets online now . The girl group will embark on an international tour beginning July 5 in Seoul and concluding in January 2026 in Tokyo with 10 stops across North America, Europe, and East Asia. You can find out tickets to the sold-out dates still available to buy online at third-party retailer sites like TicketNetwork , Vivid Seats , StubHub , and SeatGeek .
Before the concert, be sure to check out the limited-edition vinyl version of Alter Ego (available to pre-order now), and consider picking up some pre-tour merch to rock out to with your new open earbuds.
