Honest review after purchase
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these because I wanted something different than Airpods. The sound is great, should be a little louder but overall great. The con of this, making and receiving a call is terrible! Breaks up and the mic is extremely bad! People can barely hear me without me having to yell like im crazy. Bose dropped the ball on the Mic on these. R&D would’ve helped this product in various environments. Returning them back today. Hopefully the next wave is better and ill try again.

good earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these and would give these 5 stars for fit and comfort but the left one sounds like the speaker is busted. I exchanged the first set and the 2nd pair is the same way.

Pretty but not quality for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are cute but lose signal if you get 20feet from your phone. Don’t fit in the ear great for the price. Charge is not as long as it should be. Overall disappointing.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you find the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds stylish, but we understand your concerns about the Bluetooth range, fit, and battery life. Bluetooth connections typically work best within about 30 feet, though obstacles or interference can sometimes reduce that distance. The open‑ear design was created to fit standard ear sizes while providing comfort and awareness of your surroundings.
For battery performance, the earbuds offer up to 7 hours with Immersive Audio off, 4 hours with Immersive Audio on, and 3 hours with both Immersive Audio and Auto Volume on. With a fully charged case, you can get up to 19.5 hours of total playtime.
If your Bluetooth connection is intermittent or drops unexpectedly, try the following steps: https://bose.life/3O6j3dA
If your battery drains faster than expected, try these steps: https://bose.life/4rh5eHI

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great for work as they allow you to carry on a conversation without the need to turn them off or remove them from your ears. The bad is the battery doesn’t last as long as other ear buds I have tried in the past and the case is flimsy.

Great ear buds

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these 04/26/2026. Never dropped them, always used the case to charge. Right earbud just stopped charging mid run and hasn’t worked since. Left bud is fine, so it’s clearly a hardware fault on that one unit, not user error. Sound and comfort were good while it worked, but a $300 pair of earbuds shouldn’t die like this before the 3 month mark. Disappointing for the price.

Posted .Hi JayR, thank you for sharing your experience with Ultra Open Earbuds. We are truly sorry to hear that your right earbud stopped charging so suddenly—especially since you've taken such great care of them.
Since your left earbud is charging normally, it does sound like an isolated hardware issue with the right unit. Before giving up on them, you can try these quick guide to resolve the issue, https://bose.life/4f546E1.
Because you purchased these recently in April 2026, they are fully covered under our manufacturer's warranty. If the reset doesn't revive the right earbud, please head directly to our Bose Repair and Replacement Page at the bottom of the link provided above to set up a quick exchange. We want to get a working pair back in your ears as quickly as possible!

Almost perfect headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones fit is the most comfortable and secure I’ve felt. Downside is the speaker for the headphones is not good and does not pick up my voice. If they improved on that then this would be the best headphones out in my opinion.

Game changer in open air conduction earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided for this open earbuds after trying the alternatives in the shop by Shokz. I am a great fan of this kind of earbuds and I was aware of their limitations, open air or bone conduction. I was not convinced by the sound of the new open air Shokz, so I decided to give a try to the Bose, and my first impression was great. I am delighted with the sound and experience. It is really a game changer, and the recent firmware updates have improved a lot the sound and connection. Although I agree that the price is high, the results deserve the purchase.
