Posted .Hi Amanda, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you liked the style and look of the earbuds, and we’re sorry to learn you’ve experienced battery and connectivity issues. For reference, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have a battery life of up to 7 hours with Immersive Audio off, 4 hours with Immersive Audio on, and 3 hours with both Immersive Audio and Auto Volume on. The case provides up to 19.5 hours of charge. Earbuds take about 1 hour to fully charge, the case about 3 hours, and a quick 10‑minute charge provides up to 2 hours of use. If one earbud drains faster than expected, here’s a helpful troubleshooting guide you can try: https://bose.life/3Q83OBW
Regarding connectivity, Bluetooth performance can be affected by distance (typically within 30 feet), interference from nearby devices like Wi‑Fi routers or microwaves, outdated firmware, or multiple pairings. To improve stability, keep devices close, update firmware and drivers, disable battery saver mode, and restart both devices to clear temporary glitches. Here’s a guide that may help: https://bose.life/4bEGtAm

Dont miss on these! Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing! If your considering shoks dont miss on these. Hands down the best open ear buds.
I would recommend this to a friend Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best investment, but that price tag sucks. If you can get it on sale absolutely do it or if you have points. 300$ product shows why it's worth it but a 200$ price tag and this product would be flying off the shelf.

Nice Try Bose, try harder
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a big Bose guy. You name it i probaly got it. When i saw these i could not wait to pick these up. Bose need to go back to the drawing board with these. I know they are open air but the aound should not suffer becaue of that. I purchaed these on a Friday and by Monday morning they were returned. The sound is very shallow and when you are on the phone people complained about me sounding like im across the street. Yes i had them on correctly. I was in an office environment iy was better but the mall forget about it!! The design is fire. I think the next ones will be better but for now i had to pump the brakes on these.

The clamping on the ear are not strong at all
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thet don't clamp on good into your ear. I almost lost them about 100 times to expensive to loose them becuase the quality of grip on them is no good. The sound is amazing , but becuas they are far from your ear the sound is super low. I put them into my ear canal the sound is amazing. I rather keep my Shocks they sound clear and louder than the boose. I 2as not happy becuase the sound is to far from you ear. I went to a store to teach me about the app to make them louder, but they still didn't sound as loud and clearl as my shocks.
