Q: QuestionAre these worth the hefty price tag?(5 answers)
A: AnswerOnly you can answer that. If you like Bose sound quality these will not disappoint. The open experience is a bit different but I find it to be fine. Comfort is superb. So for me, yes.Answered by Urosmith
Q: QuestionAre this waterproof? Noise cancellation?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe Ultra Open Earbuds do not have noise cancellation, due to their open-ear design. The earbuds have a water resistance rating of IPX4, meaning they can withstand splashes of water. The charging case is rated at IPX1, meaning it is only protected against vertically falling water drops.Answered by Bose Support
- A: AnswerSound quality is great for open earbuds but the microphone does not sound great to callers and you have to speak loud enough for the headphones to pick up your voice.

Unique execution
The types of ways you can listen to audio is vast & many. Headphones, earbuds, & open ear buds all have a common goal: deliver audio. Everything else is a bonus that works or a flawed feature that needs a bit more time in the oven. Overall I am impressed with the execution of these open earbuds. I feel, after reading a few reviews, it’s being compared unfairly to tws earbuds that sit in your ear canal. Owning Bose Tenors, Sony LinkBuds, Shokz OpenRun Pro, & Shokz OpenFit; these Ultra Open Earbuds perform exceptionally. The way each company comes up with designs for their models never ceases to amaze me. It’s unique. These are secure once worn properly; shaking my head or jogging can did nothing to jar it loose. Sounds are just like my Ultra Earbuds & Ultra Headphones. Definitely Bose signature sound. The immersion mode somehow works in this open style. The app works seamlessly to tweak the EQ to your liking. Price is a talking point in what your expectations are for these style of earbuds; there are other options. If they go on sale, like the other Ultra options, give this a chance.

Great sound, poor call audio
They are very lightweight and comfortable. Sound is amazing, as all bose sound should be. However, when you make a call, the person you call can barely hear you. I've adjusted every type of setting to try to make it clearer on the other end. Nothing works. Also, they pick up all of the outside noise from the person calling with these as well. I purchased two sets, one for me and for my husband. When wearing them and calling each other, we could barely hear each other, but I could hear everything around him. Sadly will be returning and trying something different. They are great, if all you use them for is listening to music. Not worth $300 to only listen to music.

They’re Great!
These headphones are great! For open earbuds, the sound is better than anything out there. They are cheaper ones that are $160 to $200 that get louder, and can be used in more daily activities, but they don’t sound as good. Bose bass is clear with music, and they sound great with videos/podcasts compared to others i have. The next most important thing is the fit is incredible! They are super secure and you barely feel them and it’s so unique and they look great. The button is very clicky. My issues with them is they don’t get loud enough, my ear pockets are a little bit bigger than any of the advertising so the speakers are millimeters further away from my ear canal. I also think for $300 it should have wireless charging. Other than that I recommend them for sure!
