Another great Bose product.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can’t think of anything wrong with them. I really like how after hours of using them you forgot that you’re Wearing them. Probably calls are not the best, but I can live with it.

Posted .Hi there! Thank you for giving the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds a try and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re really glad to hear they delivered excellent sound quality for music, that’s one of the key strengths that makes this model stand out.
We’re sorry to hear they didn’t meet your expectations for phone calls. We completely understand how important clear call performance is, especially when earbuds play a big role in your day to day activities. Your comfort and satisfaction matter.
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds include two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can significantly improve call clarity. Blocked microphones, such as from hats, hair, or other headwear may cause the person on the other end to hear muffled or unclear audio. Ensuring the microphones are unobstructed and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear can make a noticeable difference.

All most the total package
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the concept. The sound quality for music is outstanding. It does stay in your ear securely. Whenever I'm riding or walking, the only downfall. Is the call quality when making and receiving a call? It's an issue. People cannot hear me and if they do, it sounds gargled.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Good buds!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The buds are good but the volume does is get loud enough.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for runners
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work great. Ear buds never stay in my ears when I run, and these are a great alternative. They also make it easy to listen to music while still being aware of my surroundings.
I would recommend this to a friendNot worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These ear buds have several issues that is just such a disappointment for the Bose name and pricey tag. I chose these as my first choice of open ear buds because it’s Bose and figured the pride was because of the quality . Was kind of bulky and heavy for an open ear clip . But the worst part was phone calls , everyone said they can’t hear me or that my words were being cut off . Next the music was hard to hear because of the shape of the ear buds it did not sit deep enough so I would have to crank up the volume or push on the outer of my ear to create a better seal then it sounds great . I thought the problem was my ear shape but it’s not because I purchased a different brand and it’s awesome for for phone calls and music is audible without having to turn the volume all the way up . I’m happy with my new purchase .

Innovative ear buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These buds had good sound and are a great idea. But for my use case was not in my best interest to keep past the return window. I would consider purchasing again if the software included multi-point connection and additional colors to choose from.
