    Love that they fit my tiny ears. Have tried the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds 2, and the newest JBL JLab buds, and none of them would stay in since they were too big. These fit everyone since they hook around the outside of the ear. You just slide them up or down to get the best fit.

    I've used all kinds of different earbuds and the like over the last few years and I would have to say that I like these more than all the others. Pretty good battery life, the sound could be a tad better, and they are extremely comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.

      Hi Tina, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you like the look and feel of the earbuds! By design, the Open Earbuds don’t block out the world or have noise cancelling, so you can enjoy your music while staying open to the sounds of the world around you. They do have an automatic volume control feature, available in the Bose app, that helps you hear your music evenly as your environment changes from quiet to loud and back. Hope this details helps!

    A great earbud especially for using at work/research labs/warehouses etc. It's very safe, allows conversation with colleagues, remaining aware to surrounding sound (alarm etc.) while listening to music/news etc. Sound quality is great, as best can be expected from an open-ear earbuds. Bit pricey, but it's Bose. Using for 1+ year, recently bought another pair for wife. A must have for working professionals!

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you find the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds comfortable to wear. Regarding the bass and volume, you can customize the audio experience by adjusting the equalizer settings in the Bose App to match your preferences.

Sometimes, the positioning of the earbuds on your ears can also impact sound quality, so you might want to visit the link below for a guide on proper placement.

      Hello, Madeline! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you found the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds comfortable, as comfort and all‑day wear are key benefits of the open‑ear design. We understand your concern with call and Zoom performance, especially when the microphone intermittently cuts out and others describe the sound as muffled.

      The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them correctly can make a noticeable difference in call quality. If the microphones are blocked by headwear, hair, or if the earbuds are not positioned properly on each ear, it can affect how clearly your voice is captured on the other end of the call. Ensuring the earbuds are securely and correctly positioned may help improve call performance.

    Get it only if you want to splurge.

    For the price, you'd think it'll have wireless charging and much longer battery life. Sure, the audio quality is top notch. But for an open earbud, I think it's over priced even with the sale. The color blue is nice though. Get this if you want to splurge and are Bose loyalist. But if you're practical, you will want something better-- with more features, and for a lower price point.
