Uncomfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very uncomfortable. I love the concept of an ear cuff headphone but the actual speak part that goes into the shell of the ear is plastic, hard and uncomfortable. It should have been padded with some sort of silicone. I’m constantly adjusting them up and down the shell of my ear bc they start to hurt and need moved to a new position, but it’s usually no longer than 20 mins before they’re bothering my again. I’ve had the less than 2 months and the left one shorts in and out. I’m hoping I can return them. The cost is too high for them to not be more comfortable, I think a redesign is needed.

Posted .Hello Mira! Thank you for sharing your feedback. That’s certainly not the experience we want you to have, and we understand your concern, especially when you’ve been excited about the ear‑cuff design.
Our Ultra Open Earbuds were designed to let you enjoy your music while keeping your ears open to the world around you. To achieve this, we engineered a lightweight, ear‑cuff–inspired shape that gently grips the ear while housing our Bose OpenAudio technology. This allows the earbuds to project rich, immersive sound without blocking the ear canal, all while keeping the design as light and unobtrusive as possible.
Comfort can vary from person to person, and sometimes a small adjustment can make a big difference. You can try sliding the earbuds slightly up or down the outer part of your ear to find a position that feels more natural and reduces pressure. This can also help with sound balance and avoiding interference with jewelry.
For step‑by‑step guidance on wearing and adjusting your earbuds, you can follow our full guide here: https://bose.life/47yqhOs
We hope these tips help improve your experience so you can get back to enjoying your earbuds comfortably.

Reveloutionary futuristic Comfort and Style
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Embarking on my journey with the new Bose Open Air Earbuds has been nothing short of a revelation. These open air earbuds is what I have been waiting for since the earbud craze has blossomed but overall comfort hasn’t. These earbuds redefine the concept of comfort and style, offering a listening experience that transcends traditional boundaries. The comfort is the first thing that seriously turned me on to these earbuds. The Bose Open Air Earbuds boast an unparalleled level of comfort that is truly unmatched. There design allows them to be worn like a pair of clip-on earrings but with less clip. With zero pressure in or around the ear, wearing them feels like a breath of fresh air. It's as if they were custom-made to fit seamlessly onto my ears, allowing me to enjoy my music for hours on end without any discomfort whatsoever. Adding to their comfort is their feather-lightweight design, making them almost unnoticeable upon wearing. With the Bose Open Air Earbuds, it's like wearing a whisper on my ears. This lightweight construction enhances the overall listening experience, allowing me to stay immersed in my music with the amazing immersion mode setting. Depending on your environment it literally seems as if you are at a concert or live viewing of a movie. There is a motion immersion that has the music envelope you all around keeping the music balanced. The other mode option is the “Still” setting that is simply amazing. While remaining in one spot, when you turn your or move your head in any direction, it seems as if the music remains emmanting from a direct source like a stage so the sound transfers between the buds to make you feel as if you are there in person at a concert. Very cool feature but not personally used much because I don’t plan on sitting still too much with these earbuds. But comfort isn't the only area where these earbuds excel. Their secure fit instills confidence, especially during workouts or active pursuits. I can move freely without worrying about them coming loose or falling out, ensuring uninterrupted enjoyment of my music even in the most dynamic of situations. So much better than traditional earbuds that I’ve felt that I need to readjust during a jog or workout. Battery life is another area where the Bose Open Air Earbuds shine. With all-day battery life, I can go about my day without constantly fretting about recharging. Whether I'm commuting, working, or hitting the gym, these earbuds have the stamina to keep up with me every step of the way. And I have worn these earbuds literally all day (for at least an 8 – 10 hour work shift). In terms of aesthetics, these earbuds are nothing short of a fashion statement. The sleek, minimalist design gives them a sophisticated and futuristic appeal, almost resembling jewelry or earrings to onlookers. It's a subtle yet stylish addition to my ensemble, and I having not been a typical person that wears earrings would absolutely wear these in public and have no problem passing them off as gauged hoop earrings. So other than the immersion modes, battery life, and comfort, the overall performance may take a bit of dip for those wanting that super “Bose” hitting bass and sound. Yes, the earbuds sound amazing, and they do get volume and a full spectrum of sound, but, they do get overpowered by your environment sometimes. I love the fact that I can be fully immersed in my music and still be aware of my surroundings as these earbuds do enter the ear canal at all. So much better than the “hear through” option of other earbuds that sounds mechanical or tinny. The open air earbuds allow you to hear as you hear. I can be listening to music and hold a conversation at the same time, simply amazing. Phone calls are a bit of a disappointment. I feel as if I need both buds in to hear my recipient clearly and loud enough. With only one I do not get enough volume to hear even with it at 100%. It may be me needing to adjust to the design, but if that’s all that is a slight negative, I will take it all day with the provided comfort and music quality of these earbuds. In conclusion, the Bose Open Air Earbuds redefine what it means to enjoy music in comfort and style. With their unmatched comfort, lightweight design, secure fit, all-day battery life, and fashionable appearance, they set a new standard for wireless earbuds. If you're in search of earbuds that offer the perfect blend of comfort, performance, and style, look no further than the Bose Open Air Earbuds.

Posted .Hello Ray and thank you for your review!
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the Ultra Open earbuds!
One thing that can help the microphone to work as intended is to make sure nothing is covering the earbuds. If you are wearing headgear, such as hats, headbands or earmuffs, this could muffle the microphone, and as a result, could cause poor or low microphone performance.
If you run into any issues, please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help!

Bad background cancelation and poor quality on cal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am disappointed with the background noise during phone calls. People cannot hear me clearly due to the lack of noise cancellation. However, the battery life is quite impressive, and the earbuds fit securely in the ears without falling out. Additionally, Amazon offers cases for these earbuds. My only concern is the poor call quality.

Posted .Thanks for the review Mayra! I'm happy to hear you're impressed by the battery life and secure fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds. Please note that the noise cancelling only cancels background noises for you, not for people that you call. If the mics on your earbuds are picking up a lot of background noise, it may be necessary to move to a quieter environment. Alternatively, please give our support team a call, so we can take a closer look. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Too Many Issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The concept is great, however they were constantly disconnecting to where you need the case to do a “hard reset” to get them to connect again. I couldn’t even get through 30 minutes without them messing up like that. I had to return them. Definitely not worth the frustration. It’s a known issue…which I didn’t know before I purchased.

Posted .Hi there, we appreciate your valuable feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to offer a great mix of comfort, sound quality, and innovative features. With multipoint connectivity, you can seamlessly connect to up to two devices via Bluetooth.
That said, Bluetooth disconnections can occasionally occur due to factors like signal interference, the distance between the earbuds and the connected device, or nearby electronics. These can impact performance depending on the environment.
If you’re open to giving them another shot or exploring other models, feel free to reach out, we’d be more than happy to help you find the perfect match for your needs.

Decent open air
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent but not great. It’s nice to have open air to hear the surrounding noise but when you’re in a loud environment hearing music or phone calls is very difficult. I wouldn’t buy these again

Posted .Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the open-ear design and its ability to keep you aware of your surroundings. That said, we’re sorry to hear that the performance in louder environments didn’t meet your expectations.
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to prioritize situational awareness, which can sometimes affect sound isolation and clarity in noisy settings. We understand this trade-off may not work for everyone, especially if you often use them in busy or loud environments.
If you're looking for something that offers better sound isolation and a more immersive listening experience, perhaps you'd be interested in trying our QuietComfort earbuds. They’re designed to block out background noise, making them ideal for enjoying music or taking calls even in busy or noisy settings.

Can be hard to hear it
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They super great for not being in your ear, if you like noise cancellation this product isn’t for you. I work on a tug so background noise can make it hard to hear while talking on the phone or listening to music. I have zero complaints for using around normal noise levels like shopping, or being around the house.
