Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in Desert Gold for my wife, and honestly, they turned out to be an awesome gift. The first thing that stands out is the look. The gold finish is really clean and elegant—it doesn’t even feel like typical tech. They look more like an accessory or piece of jewelry than earbuds, which she really liked. The clip-on design is also unique and stylish, and they stand out in a good way compared to standard earbuds. Sound-wise, they’re impressive—especially for open-ear earbuds. The audio feels full and immersive, and the spatial sound really adds depth to music. Even though they don’t block out the outside world, the sound still comes through clearly and feels premium. Bose’s open design lets you stay aware of your surroundings while still getting rich, private audio, which is a big plus for everyday use. She also mentioned how comfortable they are—lightweight enough to wear for long periods without any discomfort. Overall, this felt like a great purchase. Between the standout design and surprisingly strong sound quality, they feel premium and different from anything else out there. Definitely worth it if you want something that looks as good as it sounds.

These earbuds sound amazing. I can barely tell they are on my ears—crisp, clear sound with enough bass to enjoy any genre of music. The immersive mode on the Bose app is pretty cool as well. Perfect for bike rides, or any outdoor activities.

Sound is awesome. The clarity and details. Bass is great for open style. More bass than other open earbuds and the best part is thay even at low volume, the bass is very noticeable. You can feel the rumble. You can adjust it in the Bose app EQ. Very comfortable and the battery lasts all day. If you are looking for open style, get these!!!

Bought this Boss ear buds for my husband Christmas gift and he love it. It's so comfortable when put it in the ears,, the sound is awesome and the battery charge last a long time. Thank you!

Love these! The fit is great and the sound is great too. Super comfortable and they stay in great during workouts! Highly recommend

These open earbuds provide great sound quality. Extremely comfortable and provide long battery life. No more loose earbuds or falling out of your ear. They fit great.

Great sound, long lasting battery. I love that you can have them on your ear and still hear things around you. Conformable to wear as well.

I've had these for about 2 weeks now and I think the sound on them are really good for what they are. Open ear headphones. I ride the metro so these are perfect for staying aware of my surroundings. The volume levels are great but I have noticed that sometimes a drop in volume at times. I could be listening to something and it sounds crystal clear at about 70% volume, but sometimes (in the same environment) I would be at 150% volume and can barely hear anything. I've had to close out all apps and restart my phone and the sound would go back to normal. I've had one connectivity issue so far where my phone would not connect again to these earbuds for approximately 20 minutes. I restarted my phone, disconnected the headphones from my device, placed the headphone back into the case and nothing. It wasn't until about 20 minutes in the case and it began working again. And yes they were at 100 % battery. I had just finished charging them and was headed to grab lunch but they wouldn't connect. I want to give these a higher review but right now I see a few problems happening in just a little over 2 weeks and I hope they don't continue. If the problems don't persist in the next few months I will gladly bump up the rating on the review.

Nice, still able to hear outside noise around me. Had to figur out the right position for my ear. Once I did that, I really enjoyed them

Nice buds, comfortable nice sound and easily taken in and out. These ear buds stay in place and you don’t have to worry bout sizing the tips to keep them in. So far so good. The final test is how long do they last.

Sound quality is very good. Great battery life. Very comfortable.

For open ear headphones, I love these. They are super light, I usually forget I have them on. The sound quality is great once you tweak the EQ with the Bose App. Out of the box they are lacking in bass. I love that I can hear everything around me and my music effortlessly and people around me cannot hear anything unless they are 75% volume or higher which they never need to be. These are better than bone conduction headphones like AfterShokz because those usually pressing into my head gave me a headache after too long. The Case is still small enough to fit in the "watch" pocket of your jeans. I love them. These will be useless on a plane. I was going to do 4 stars because they can't be used on a plane, but that's not why I bought them. I bought them because my airpod Pro's were starting to get uncomfortable being in my ears all the time. These are amazing and I love using them every day, literally on here back at BBY.com to buy my wife a pair.

Bose headphones are amazing! Great sound, strong bass, and awesome noise cancellation. Super comfortable and the battery lasts a long time. Totally worth it

Beautiful sound, long lasting battery. Easy to pair. Comfortable to wear.

I bought these right after Thanksgiving, set them up and wore them once. I was impressed with the sound quality, how light and comfortable they were, and being able to switch from my phone to my laptop as a source. Literally the very next morning, after I let them charge the left earbud didn't work, I followed all of Bose instructions with a re-sync and then a factory reset. The left bud seemingly was lost, it wouldn't recognize or sync at all. So I played around with it, I put it on the right ear spot and it showed to be charging, I figured out the contacts for the left earbud were not making contacts. I thought I had it remedied, however the next day at the gym not only did the left not sync initially but it had near zero charge. So 3 stars is a tad generous, however, when they work they are fantastic, even in loud environments (unlike some have said), and i really like them in the gym. These things don't fall out!

Sound quality is great—just what you’d expect from Bose. They pair easily with both my computer and phone. Super comfortable too; I can wear them all day and barely notice them. Battery lasts a long time. The only minor issue is that some people say it’s a bit hard to hear me clearly during calls.

Although this product has an innovative design and great sound quality, that's where it ends. The fit is perfect, and the open earbuds really allow you to be aware of your surroundings. They're great for hiking, running, and other activities. However, the mic quality is absolutely horrendous, even after updating the product. No matter the conditions in which the call is taken, the other person won't be able to hear you clearly (it sounds like you're in a bathroom or below deck in a boat). I thought I received a defective product, so I exchanged it. Nope. The mic is still horrible. Yes, I've tried Shokz and other competitors, but the sound quality in these is unmatched for an open-earbud design. If you don't care about taking calls while you have these in, it's a great product. The price target should be more in the $150 range due to the mics and cheap plastic case. If you want wireless charging, you'll have to spend another $50 for the compatible case. If Bose could stop releasing several different colors and focus on the mics, this would be an amazing set of open earbuds.

I have had these earbuds for a little less than a month and I really like them. This is my first Bose product and the sound doesn’t disappoint. I would say if you have sensitive ears than you may not like the way it wraps on your ears. They’re also very secure on your ear so they’re good for working out in.
