    I would giveno stars if possible these worked great for the first couple of months bit now no one can hear me on phone calls and considering this is most of what I need and use them for they are completely useless and a great waste of money now I will have to fork out more money for another pair of earbuds that actually work

      Hi SamuelA, thank you for sharing your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are equipped with two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can greatly improve call quality. Blocked microphones may cause poor sound quality for the person on the other end of the call. Please make sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear.

      We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing microphone issues, and we’d be happy to help you resolve this. You can check out this helpful link for more information: https://bose.life/3N7ubHl

    Unique Design - Mixed Impressions

    |

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The clip-on design takes some getting used to, and initial wear can be uncomfortable. I found the sweet spot after a few days, but larger ears might struggle. They stayed secure during movement, but the pressure on the ear cartilage could be bothersome for extended periods. The audio quality is excellent, even in noisy environments. Music and podcasts sound crisp and clear, with a surprising amount of bass for open earbuds. The "immersion" modes are a neat gimmick but don't significantly enhance the experience. However, call quality was a major letdown. My voice sounded muffled and distant to callers, making them a less ideal choice for frequent calls. The battery life is quite impressive, lasting for over 7 hours of continuous use. Charging is quick, and the case offers convenient top-ups. Feature-wise, they're fairly basic, with limited controls and the Bose Music App causing initial connectivity issues. Aesthetically speaking, the design is very distinct, setting them apart from traditional earbuds. The open ear design is unconventional and received varied reactions, with some finding the design interesting while others described them as odd. Thinking back to a popular "pod" style earbud, its not uncommon for innovative designs to challenge expectations. Pros: * Excellent audio quality, even in noisy environments * Open-ear design for situational awareness and comfortable conversations * Secure fit during movement * Long battery life with quick charging Cons: * Uncomfortable initial fit, especially for larger ears * Poor call quality with muffled microphone audio * Limited features and initial connectivity issues with the Bose Music App Conclusion: The Bose Ultra Clip Ear Buds offer exceptional audio quality and a unique open-ear design, suitable for music and podcasts in noisy environments while maintaining awareness. However, the initial discomfort, questionable call quality, and limited features may deter some users. Those prioritizing multi-functionality and frequent calls may prefer other options. Still, for those seeking open-ear listening with top-notch audio, they're worth considering if you can adapt to the fit

      Hello,

      Thank you for writing your review about the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.

      I am thrilled to hear that you love their exceptional audio quality and design, but sorry you were having difficulties finding a comfortable fit to wear them all day, and that you had connectivity issues with the Bose Music app.

      If the connectivity issues are still occurring, please try to reinstall the app and make sure you are using the latest software version.
      Regarding the fit, you can check this article to find out how to wear and adjust them: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001brKkAAI&language=en_US

    Cons- Phone calls sound like you’re in a wind tunnel and it’s difficult to hear even if you’re inside. If you play your music louder, people next to you can easily hear it. Pros - they are very comfortable and do not come off of your ears.

      I'm glad you like the comfort and stable fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds! At most listening levels, people around you shouldn't hear anything; however, they may do if you use the earbuds at loud volumes in quieter environments. On phone calls, make sure your earbuds are being worn correctly, see here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001brKkAAI&language=en_US. Our support team will provide further assistance, if needed. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    Love how I do not have to take out my Earphones or use transparency mode which decreased my battery consumption on my other buds. so these are amazing and hardly notice they are on.

      Hello Yolanda, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Ultra Open Earbuds' bass performance! Don't forget that these earbuds come with an Equalizer built into the app. This allows you to fine-tune your sound, in order to achieve the bass, mid and treble output that you're looking for. To use the Equalizer, go to the Bose app, select your earbuds, then tap the "EQ" button in the lower-left corner. Or, within the "Sound" section of the Settings menu, select "Equalizer". I hope this information is useful! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    May Not Fit Large Ears

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It will not fit in my ears. Perhaps the rim of my ears are a bit thicker than average - but not by much. I felt like the buds will not sit correctly in my ears no matter how many times I repositioned them. Unfortunately, these buds only come in one size. So if your ears are a bit larger than average, you may run into the same issue as me. Due to this, the quality of the sound didn't sound to great to me (But I think if they sat in my ear correctly, it probably would've sounded better). I really hope that Bose can make these buds in a larger size - because I was really looking forward to owning them. I decided to return mine.

    For $300 these earbuds should be above Apple Airpod quality. The audio did not blow me out of the water. The call quality is terrible! I attempted to return them but was told I was past the window which might not even have been true. I'm so upset that I let an employee who most likely could have cared less tell me this was a good option. Do your own research.
