    Not what I expected Bose to become

    I have been a long time fan of the Bose inear headphones. For many platforms ive tried many years ago i was looking for the crisp and clean sound and bose delivered however And unfortunately for me, the open ear was a downright disappointment for the Bose line in my opinion. I was told by one of the employees at Bestbuy that these headphones were rated quite good from alot of people...and well. As a diehard audio guy, these did not deliver that "bose" quality sound. At max volume the sound was crackled, there was also not much bass and it just was not my style of in ear headphones. I gave it 2 stars because the one star was for fitment, it felt good "clipped" to the ear, but i wish it had a little more to out that bud into the ear itself. And the other star was for the idea that Bose was going for. The quality of the sound for me was terrible... the BEST in ear buds ive had from Bose was the ones that were super large and stuck out alot BUT you would twist the bud itself into your outer ear and it would literally fit into place and not fall out at all. The "second generation" for the ultra quiet inear that took a good thing and turned it into something different and made it bad. For that first gen the speaker itself was a little further away from the eardrum and MADE THAT quality crisp with the bass bose has been known for. The second gen...since it was closer to the ear drum it took away some of the max volume of the music and turned it down a bit because it was closer to the ear. So with the open ear....it just washed it away. Idk how much more disappointed i can put into words on how sad i am of what Bose Did with this line.....and asking 300 bucks for it. I did it as a trade in from the utra quiet 2 earbuds for these...and 3 days of use. I returned them and got a giftcard caz i didnt even want the ultra quiet 2's either.

    My daughter loves them she said the sound is great. They it took two days for her pair to die so that was good. She says they’re wonderful. I’m counting on it. They’re pricey, but worth it she said.

    Love the concept of being able to listen to music but also hear your environment. The battery life is great but lessens when using immersive audio. I tried the immersive audio but didn't really impress me. The sound is decent but will wash out if your environment is loud.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, we truly appreciate it. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the music performance on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. They are designed with immersive OpenAudio technology, and they deliver amazing clarity, rich detail, and a very open, natural listening experience, especially for music lovers who want great sound while staying aware of their surroundings. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have two microphones in each earbud, and properly wearing them can make a big difference in call performance. Blocked or partially covered microphones may cause poor sound quality for the person on the other end of the call. Please ensure the microphones aren’t obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear.

    Let me start off with, I have the Bose quiet comfort earbuds and they are my all-time favorite pair of earbuds that I own (and I own quite a bit of earbuds:)) anyway, since I already know that Bose has amazing audio products, I purchased these because at my job I am not permitted to wear two earbuds at a time due to safety and communication issues. But with these buds I can wear both and still be aware of my surroundings. They also have been amazing for wearing around the house, and still being able to hear people at my door, and engage in conversation with my music running in the background. I also wore these outdoor in the rain, and they operated perfectly due to the button control and no touch sensor which the rain usually messes with.

    These fit comfortably around your earlobe. Listeneing to these allows you to remain aware of your surrounding and converse when needed. Don't buy if you plan on making calls (microphone is terrible) or need noise cancellation (can't hear anything on MAX volume when doing anything that involves loud noises).

    After struggling with Apple AirPods constantly falling out, I switched to Bose earbuds and haven't looked back. The secure fit and comfort are a game-changer for me. One of my favorite features is the seamless device switching between my phone and computer – super convenient! While they don't have noise canceling, it's not a deal-breaker for my needs. An adjustable loop around the ear would be a nice improvement, but overall, I'm extremely happy with them. On the downside they're a bit pricey, but I'd definitely be looking out for a sale!

    I used to religiously buy AirPods, and they used to religiously fail me, to the point I was done with them… concept of open earbuds was new to me, and I wasn’t sure I would like them, but it turned out, I truly LOVE them! Not to mention Bose incredible sound system!!! Highly recommend them!

    Good for someone who isn’t super serious about sound quality. Sounds stuffy in phone calls and there is a crackling sound that occurs occasionally. I like these headphones because I can wear them in bed with no issues and can hear my surroundings. They also don’t fall out no matter what.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. These earbuds are designed for listeners who value comfort, stability, and awareness of their surroundings, making them well suited for use in situations like resting or wearing them in bed. The secure open‑ear clip design helps keep them in place, even with movement, while allowing ambient sound to remain audible.

      We truly appreciate your feedback. During phone calls, sound quality can vary depending on environment and positioning, and occasional audio artifacts may be influenced by signal conditions or nearby interference. Adjusting the fit and checking for software updates may help improve the overall experience.

      Regarding the stuffy sound during phone calls, please refer to the link below for troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the concern.
