Not my first choice.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not my favorite Bose purchase. I had high hopes for these to use at work, but driving in my pickup on bumpy dirt roads proves to be too loud and I can't hear my calls well. Seems like music can get plenty loud so not sure where the issue lies with voice calls.

Posted .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

Surely disappointed!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These do not live up to expectations! Sound has very minimal bass to them. On phone calls the individuals that I was speaking to could not hear me at all.

Posted .Hi AntoineB, thank you for sharing your thoughts. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds feature two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can greatly enhance call quality. If the microphones are blocked, it may result in poor sound for the person on the other end of the call. To ensure the best performance, please make sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on your ears.
You can find more detailed guidance in this helpful link: https://bose.life/3YvjYXe
Additionally, the bass can be adjusted through the Bose app. If you’d like assistance with that, here’s another helpful guide for you: https://bose.life/3LiaueX

I would recommend this to a friendI lovet
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent ear phones I don’t use something like that before
I would recommend this to a friendDon't Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Loved the Style but made me feel dizzy and deaf :(
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would use them and afterwards or even during usung them i felt as though i was going deaf and i felt dizzy as if i was getting sick. Not sure why, but i would’ve absolutely kept them if they didnt make me feel off. Would not recommend if you have super good ears like myself. That frequency was way too much!

Posted .Hi Danasiah, thank you for sharing your feedback on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re glad to hear you appreciated aspects of the product, though we’re sorry to learn they didn’t feel comfortable for you. The earbuds are designed to let you enjoy your music while staying aware of your surroundings, keeping your ears open to hear the world around you while OpenAudio technology delivers rich, private sound.
At moderate listening volumes, they can deliver clear sound while helping reduce ear fatigue. We’d recommend adjusting the volume on your device to see if that improves comfort. Hope this helps!
