Eh...
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love having ear buds that i dont have to take out every time someone starts talking to me. The sound quality is good and the battery life is exceptional for small buds. These are wonderful for folks who may have had a hard time finding buds that fit their ears. These are not, however, comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. My ears start to ache from the way they squeeze to stay in place. But my ears are more sensitive than most folks. My biggest complaint is the connectivity. These constantly disconnect from my phone and/or the buds lose sync with eachother. It's incredibly obnoxious to have to manually reconnect them all the time and at $300 it's unacceptable.

Bose Ultra Open Ear buds / Continue to impress
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm happier with these Buds the more I use them. Purchased them as Open Box as they are spendy and they arrived like-new. I purchased because they were presented as good for music listening. For me the highs, mids are solid and I rate the bass as quite good. For my ears the tips for in-ear buds never secured well so the Bose open ear set up works great. I find them comfortable over longer listening periods. Am using for podcasts also with great results.

First pair, will be keeping and recommending
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I like them for what they are. I have an Iphone so since these arent owned by apple they don't connect as smoothly as beats and airpods. They stay on really well and are very comfortable (issues I had with beats and airpods); so comfortable I accidentally wear them all day bc I forget they are on. Being open ear the volume isn't very loud but that is expected, I never listened to anything at max volume with other headphones anyways. This is my first pair of open ear style. I think the mic quality is pretty good in quiet places but on the phone I get complaints the other person can't hear me well, occasionally. I get asked about them a lot because they look like jewelry.

Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy using these earbuds almost everyday. It’s nice bc they dont get gross the same way regular earbuds do. They also work well if u have a traigus piercing. But kinda hurts if u have a conch, not awful but if ur heavily pierced on the ears then maybe pass idk. Otherwise, really good, great for walks downtown/ shopping alone. Let’s in the perfect amount of noise to still feel aware and vibe at the same time.

Great Clip On Heaphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are exactly what my wife needed. She is a runner and these are secure, loud enough for her run, but still allow her to hear her surroundings. She was skeptical for the clip on style but fit well and do not irritate her ears as others have. And it does not interfere with piercings. Highly recommend.

Mid at best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TL;DR too expensive for something that is barely mid-quality. This is my first pair of open earbuds and they’re not bad. I was using AirPod Pro 2 earbuds with my iPhone 15 Pro Max, but they kept falling out of my ear—even with all the options for tips and 3rd party tips. These seemed like the perfect thing: attach directly to the ear so they don’t fall out, open-concept so I can still hear my surroundings, and they’re multi-device capable. Sadly, that’s about where the benefits end. Pros: -They never fall out -The battery life is about 6-8 hours per charge -Open-ear design is neat -Sound quality is still decent Cons: -The design can hurt the ears after extended use -They absolutely suck for phone calls (when they actually do connect to the call, people can barely hear me) -Multi-device pairing mostly works, but randomly decides not to work more often than not. -The case doesn’t support wireless charging (as advertised) unless you buy a separate case cover. It is mostly just frustrating to pay this much money for headphones that don’t deliver. I’ve mostly gone back to using my old AirPods and just dealt with them falling out because call quality is better, multi-device connection is more reliable, and I don’t have to worry about them randomly disconnecting from my primary device.

Posted .Thanks for sharing your honest experience, it’s really helpful for others considering open earbuds for the first time. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the secure fit, battery life, and open-ear design. Those are definitely standout features for people who want situational awareness and comfort.
That said, your feedback on call quality, multi-device pairing reliability, and the lack of wireless charging without an extra accessory is important.
The microphone issues you're encountering can often be resolved with proper placement and adjustment of the earbuds. Since the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds use an open-ear design, positioning is key to ensuring optimal mic performance during calls. Here's a troubleshooting guide that might help: http://bose.life/4mO3Idl
For the connectivity issues, clearing the product memory of previously paired Bluetooth devices can often resolve the problem. This helps reset the connection and allows for a fresh pairing experience.
Here’s a detailed guide on how to do this: http://bose.life/46ErYdd
Regarding the wireless charging feature, it’s important to note that the charging case is not included by default. Instead, the wireless charging case cover is offered as an optional accessory for customers who prefer that convenience. You can find this information listed under the “What’s in the Box” section.
We hope this clears things up!

better than air pods
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.these are better than the AirPods because they don't fall out of your ears to have a tantrum on the floor or fall into the sink while you're doing dirty dishes. The sound qualities still allows you to be aware of things going on around you for safety reasons.

Sound great. Overall impressed with the design.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These new Bose open ear buds are pretty awesome. The only issue I've had is the first pair I bought had some static issues randomly. I meant to take them back for an exchange right away but thought maybe I'd wait for a firmware update. Once there was an available update, I installed it and it seemed to fix the issue. However, shortly after the update the right bud stopped charging and connecting. I exchanged for a new pair and have had zero issues thus far. The sound quality is absolutely incredible for being open-ear buds. They connect immediately and and are easy to pair. They charge to full fairly fast and seem to last for a few hours on a full charge. They take some time getting used to. At first they feel a little awkward to put them on but you get used to it pretty fast. I find that sometimes I forget they are even on. With that said, sometimes, after several hours of wearing them, they can feel like they are pinching your ears but a slight adjustment fixes it quickly. Overall I'm quite happy with them. On a side note, my wife bought a pair of the white/silver model and has had zero issues with hers. She uses hers with her Mac and iPhone and I use mine with an Android phone and an LG TV.

So great for small ears
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are perfect for anyone that has troubles with in ear headphones. I can wear them all day without any pain which I have never experienced before. The sound is great. I haven't made a call with them yet so I am not sure about the microphone. Sleek and undetected.

Great Sound, Unique Design, but Charging Port Need
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using the Bose Ultra Open-ear True Wireless Earbuds for a while now, and I absolutely love their innovative design and sound quality. The open-ear concept is fantastic—it lets me enjoy music while staying aware of my surroundings, which is perfect for outdoor activities or commuting. The sound is clear, balanced, and immersive, making every listening experience enjoyable. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the charging case. One of the charging pins got stuck, and now I can’t charge the earbuds properly. This has been frustrating, especially considering the premium price of the product. While the earbuds themselves are excellent, I hope Bose addresses this design flaw in future models. Overall, I’d recommend these earbuds for their unique features and sound quality, but be aware of potential issues with the charging case.

Great sound, poor call audio
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Gentle on your ear/amazing sound & bass!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love them! Barely feel them on, in fact, I forget half the time that I'm even wearing them. Sound/bass is amazing for the fact that its not "inside" your ear and that I don't have to take them out to hear what's going on around me or the person I'm talking to. very gentle on my ear and stays on while running or exercising. very happy.

Best On/Open Ear for the Price 4.75/5
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the 1st Gen, and I’ve also tried other brands’ open ear headphones, including the bone conduction. And I’ll gladly say, the 2nd Gen has an improved battery life as well as the same astonishing sound you’d expect from a Bose Product. You still have access to the app to adjust and configure your “preferred sound”. Voice Assistance is hard to initiate, but does work. And these guys do NOT budge a bit no matter the activity. I highly recommend them to any glasses wearers looking for something new, or anyone with sensitive ear canals. The 2nd Gens interesting colors also make for nice conversation pieces and cute accessories. — Only CON is the case does not wireless charge, which is okay, but for someone quick on the go and saves time by just having everything be pocket ready, having to unplug the case kinda kills the vibe. Especially at the price you’re paying, and then the “wireless charging case” you pay for separately, is absolute trash. The case’s case gets hot if left on the charger too long, the silicone texture is obnoxious and very bleh feeling, and worst of all, the “lid/cap” is exteremly loose fitting and has no inner layer or even mild adhesive to keep it attatched to the case. It is constantly loose and flopping about.
