Great for music not for phone call
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is like you would think for music, videos, streaming. For phone calls while paired with an IPhone 15 pro max they are not worth the even buying. If you can hear the other person on the other side it was very faint like whispers. 4 star for music, 1 star for phone calls incoming or outgoing

Posted .Hi John, happy to hear you like the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds' audio quality for music and videos! If you're having trouble hearing people on calls, try pairing your earbuds to a different device, to compare performance there. Also, try several different call apps, e.g. standard phone calls, Zoom, Teams, etc. If issues persist, please get in touch with our support team, who will assist you further: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was all excited for these. Mostly disappointed... the volume doesn't get high enough for me. The left ear bud quit working avoit a month after buying. For what they cost, this shouldnt be an issue...

Never had a good Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The right one drains a lot faster than the left one making it hard to use them together. It also randomly stops connecting to my phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Thanks so much for your feedback! We're sorry to hear you're experiencing faster battery drain on the right earbud and connection issues, that’s definitely not the experience we want for you.
This can sometimes happen due to the right earbud acting as the primary connection point, which may cause it to use more power. To help resolve this, we recommend checking for firmware updates, resetting the earbuds, and ensuring both are fully charged before use. You can also try reconnecting them to your device by removing and re-pairing them via Bluetooth.
Here’s a troubleshooting guide that may help: http://bose.life/4oSodb7

Game changer!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are by far the most comfortable and stylish pair we have owned. Makes for good daily wearing and still having the ability to hear around you when necessary (which is great when you have kids). Love the look and feel of these.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Underwhelmed for the price. Sound quality was meh. I did enjoy the outer ear concept
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Thank you for sharing your honest feedback on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. Regarding the price, but the distinctive outer‑ear concept clearly stands out as a positive. The open‑ear design delivers sound without sealing off the ear canal, offering a more natural and comfortable listening experience while allowing you to remain aware of your surroundings. While sound expectations vary from one listener to another, the carefully considered design can be a great match for anyone who prioritizes comfort, awareness of their surroundings, and a relaxed, all‑day fit.

Didn't fit my ear
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These didn't really work for me. I could never get them to rest properly on my ear. I was able to make them stay attached but the speakers never aligned to where I could here the music. I had to press on them to get the speaker close enough to my ear drum.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience, we really appreciate your feedback. The Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to rest gently on the outer ear using a flexible cuff, delivering spacious sound through OpenAudio technology. For better alignment, you might try rotating the earbuds slightly forward or backward, making sure the ear cuff is seated securely, adjusting them higher or lower on the ear, ensuring the speaker grille is directed toward the ear canal, and keeping hair or accessories from blocking the speaker area.

Wasnt for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are for office workers. I have been accustomed to using the quietcomfort buds and using these made me realize that. They arent loud and they lack bass. If your environment is really loud, the buds are useless. If you turn up the volume, people can hear your audio. Needless to say, I don't work in an office so i returned them. Plus side, they are comfortable to wear.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm happy to hear you found the Ultra Open Earbuds comfortable to wear! It's true that, compared to our in-ear QuietComfort solutions, the Ultra Open Earbuds won't offer quite the same volume and bass experience. This is due to their open-ear design, which allows customers to enjoy their audio content while still hearing their surroundings. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
