Exceptional Sound and Unmatched Comfort!
I’ve been using the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds for a few weeks now, and they are absolutely incredible! The open-ear design is a game-changer, allowing me to stay aware of my surroundings while enjoying rich, high-quality sound. Bose has nailed it with their signature audio clarity—every note and beat sounds crisp and immersive. Pros: Comfort: These earbuds are so lightweight and comfortable that I sometimes forget I’m wearing them. Perfect for long listening sessions! Sound Quality: The bass is surprisingly robust for open-ear earbuds, and the mids and highs are clear without being harsh. Build: The White Smoke finish looks sleek and premium, and the earbuds feel durable. Battery Life: I’ve been able to use them for hours without needing to recharge, which is a huge plus. Cons: Noise Isolation: Because of the open-ear design, they aren’t ideal for very noisy environments. But that’s a fair trade-off for the safety and awareness they offer. Overall, these earbuds are perfect for anyone who prioritizes comfort and situational awareness without compromising sound quality. Highly recommend for daily use, workouts, or commuting. Bose has once again set a high bar for audio technology!

Great open ear headphones
The headphones are great I hate wearing in the ear headphones and I can't wear over the ear headphones at my job. I won't lie my ears did hurt for maybe the first few days wearing them until I got used to them but after that they are fine. I have no issues with them staying on. I like how I can turn the volume up and still hear around me. Now if I have the volume to high I won't be able to hear around me. The battery life for using the immersive modes drains pretty quickly. I usually have it off while I'm at work and the battery life lasts maybe about 6 hours. If your case is charged then you can throw them on the charger for like 10-15 mins and get another 5-6 hours at of them so they do charge fast. I also like how they have a physical button to actually press for volume. The sound quality isn't bad. It's better in the still or motion but even off it's not bad. I have had a few issues with connecting to my phone. Every so often I would get static in the headphones but I would just turn them off or put them back on the charger and they would be fine. Like any wireless headphones they have disconnected on me once or twice without saying anything. I can only connect them to one device at a time but I have no problems with switching between them. There is a Bose app you can use to change your preferences and it's pretty simple and easy to use.

Bose ultra
I'll go. I have 15 days with them and I like them too much but the defect is in the calls that people don't listen to you and although it's a free hearing aid in the environment it can help to cancel the voice for the calls , always struggling with the same , so it would be good to have a new update for a voice cancellation I get annoyed to struggle all the time with the calls and unfortunately I have to disconnect from them and they can listen me...
