Q: QuestionCan these be used individually?

Asked 2 years ago by Billy.

This question was asked about the related product: Bose - Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Open Earbuds - Black

• A:Answer Yes, they can and even better- both buds have the physical button so you can pause/play from either bud. If you use them like this you kind of give up being able to control the volume level using the buds and one bud increases the volume while the other bud decreases the volume, but that’s kind of a minor annoyance IMO.

Q: QuestionI always have issues wearing earphones - I have a very small ear canal so they keep popping out (came very close to loosing them on airplanes actually) so I'm considered these ones since they "hug" the ears. Do they ever fall out? That's my concern.

Asked 4 months ago by Feistysam.

• A:Answer Great question! The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed specifically for people who dislike the feeling of traditional in-ear buds or have smaller ear canals. Instead of sitting inside your ear canal, they rest gently on the outside and “hug” your ear with a secure open-ear design. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds use a flexible ear cuff that wraps around the ear for stability. They’re built for active use, so they stay in place during workouts, walking, and even while traveling. Many users with small ear canals find them much more comfortable and secure compared to traditional earbuds. We’re grateful you chose Bose.

Q: QuestionWhat does "true wireless" mean as opposed to just wireless?

Asked 5 months ago by Mark.

This question was asked about the related product: Bose - Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Open Earbuds - Midnight Violet

• A:Answer Hello Mark! Great question! The term "true wireless" refers to earbuds that have no cables or wires at all, not even between the left and right earpieces. Each Bose Ultra Open Earbuds connects independently to your device via Bluetooth, offering complete freedom of movement. In contrast, some "wireless" earbuds may still have a wire connecting the two earpieces, even though they connect to your device wirelessly. So while both types avoid a direct connection to your phone or computer, true wireless gives you a fully untethered experience. The Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds are a perfect example they offer high-quality sound, open-ear comfort, and complete cable-free convenience. Thank you for considering Bose!
