Customer Ratings & Reviews

Phone calls are terrible but otherwise good buy to listen music.

Inside the box is the ear buds themselves, charging case, charging cable, and warranty/safety informational guide. There is a quick start guide (QR code) on the inside of the opening of the box and thankfully I noticed before the box was thrown in the recycle bin. First Impression - These wireless buds sport a unconventional shape, but an undeniably extraordinary sound. QR Code/Quick Start - The quick start guide is very helpful in giving a move vivid description of how to put the headphones on, updates the firmware, lets you customize the key bindings of the buttons and equalizer/sound controls. I definitely recommend downloading the app. Open Earbuds/Comfort - Right out of the box, the buds stunned and left an impression as I personally had never used wireless headphones with such a design, external and hanging from the edge of the ear. Though I was certainly skeptical, the design has a comfort I’d never expected. They also don’t move much, despite being held on by not but their own countered weight. Strange design aside, they were quite easy to get used to as they weigh nothing and feel like even less. If not for the music, you could easily forget the buds are there. Sound/Calls - The sound most certainly sets the bar for wireless headphones. There’s an immense amount of base, and despite the design they do block out quite a bit of external sound. So much in fact, half volume seems to be plenty, even perhaps too loud, which is a first for a fan of loud music like myself. Also vice versa the way the buds rest allow for you to listen to the area around while the music is low for some ambience or perhaps motivation on a jog. Calls are extremely clear, and the microphone seems to capture sound well. Battery Life - The battery life was not included on the box, but they seem to last around 10-12 hours from a full charge, and charge twice in their case. It took two days of listening before the buds finally indicated a low battery, and the charge was relatively short, maybe 10 or so minutes for the buds in the case and 20 for the case. The case lets you know the charge status of each bud with individual indicators, as well as an indicator for the case itself. The only issue I could find with the headphones, was a sort of glitch that disabled my ability to change the volume on my phone once the headphones were connected. Restarting the music streaming app I was using seemed to fix it, while be it temporary as it is a reoccurring thing, so it may just be the streaming app itself and not the headphones. They are also magnetic, which goes for most earbuds, but the magnet on these is quite strong and gave me a startle when I discovered pair of earrings I was not aware were also magnetic. Overall, I am highly impressed with the design, the sound and the comfort of these headphone and I would highly recommend to friends and family.

The product is not effective. Low sound quality and can’t use it for phone calls. Connectivity is poor.

Everything was bad. The only thing i liked about them was look. They were stiff, sounded ok as long as nothing was playing in the background. Call quality was the worse, it sounded like people were whispering. Bought them the day before my trip returned them as soon as i got to my destination. So yourself and wallet a favor and go with the OneDot Shokz. 10x betterand $100 less. Not to mention that the OneDot can be connected to 2 devices at the same time.

The quality to listen to videos or music is good. But the quality to make phone calls is very bad. There is no noise cancelation and the person sounds like they're talking through a Tin can.

This is a great concept design was trying to replace my AirPods Pro because I kept on falling out but after listening sound quality is not good. I was expecting something better from Bose I’m actually returning them because it’s not worth the $300 price tag. 

They have good sound but for calls they are the worst, they are not worth it and very expensive

The sound quality wasnt impressive. People could hear what i was listening to.. The mic was actually awful! Could not hear me on calls what so ever. For the cost of these I was not going to let these key factors not be mind blowing. Cute concept but needs improvements. Returned.

not really pleased with the sound quality you typically enjoy when you use any Bose products. For the price, it doesn't offer the same benefits as the AirPod Pros.

Call on the other end complains of too much backround noise

I do not like the open feeling for it, I was wishing for more of an open feeling and also noise cancellation. but it just felt like I was listening to music with like normal headphones but still hear everything around me

Not very good with phone call can hear back noise very bad

The clip-on design takes some getting used to, and initial wear can be uncomfortable. I found the sweet spot after a few days, but larger ears might struggle. They stayed secure during movement, but the pressure on the ear cartilage could be bothersome for extended periods. The audio quality is excellent, even in noisy environments. Music and podcasts sound crisp and clear, with a surprising amount of bass for open earbuds. The "immersion" modes are a neat gimmick but don't significantly enhance the experience. However, call quality was a major letdown. My voice sounded muffled and distant to callers, making them a less ideal choice for frequent calls. The battery life is quite impressive, lasting for over 7 hours of continuous use. Charging is quick, and the case offers convenient top-ups. Feature-wise, they're fairly basic, with limited controls and the Bose Music App causing initial connectivity issues. Aesthetically speaking, the design is very distinct, setting them apart from traditional earbuds. The open ear design is unconventional and received varied reactions, with some finding the design interesting while others described them as odd. Thinking back to a popular "pod" style earbud, its not uncommon for innovative designs to challenge expectations. Pros: * Excellent audio quality, even in noisy environments * Open-ear design for situational awareness and comfortable conversations * Secure fit during movement * Long battery life with quick charging Cons: * Uncomfortable initial fit, especially for larger ears * Poor call quality with muffled microphone audio * Limited features and initial connectivity issues with the Bose Music App Conclusion: The Bose Ultra Clip Ear Buds offer exceptional audio quality and a unique open-ear design, suitable for music and podcasts in noisy environments while maintaining awareness. However, the initial discomfort, questionable call quality, and limited features may deter some users. Those prioritizing multi-functionality and frequent calls may prefer other options. Still, for those seeking open-ear listening with top-notch audio, they're worth considering if you can adapt to the fit

They don’t fit my ears well and they suck for phone calls

I can not use them. I charged them before the first use and they were fine. Now they will not charge and I can not use them at all

Really Bose?... I bought these on sale for $230 and wanted to return them after 5 minutes of use. Music quality is okay and call quality is awful. DO NOT buy these unless you'll be in a perfectly quite environment the entire time of use. There are several options that are MUCH BETTER than Bose for half the cost. Go look at Shokz and JBL, you'll thank me. Will be returning for a refund.

They dont fit in the ear so that you can hear the best sound. I think they need to aim into the canal more.

These are not good, noise canceling or otherwise weird feel and worse sound experience via bone conduction

These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are my first experience with an open ended earbud. I’m not gonna lie, I was very confused at how to put these in it first, but thankfully the Bose Music app had a neat little video to show you how to use them. Pairing and setting them up was pretty easy and I had no connectivity issues each time I use them. Something I really like about the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds is the fact that you can still hear everything around you while enjoying your music. It’s almost like walking around with your own soundtrack to your life going on. The Bose music app can help you set up some customized features to make them sound good to your ears. The sound is surprisingly rich and full when you’re in a more controlled setting. If you are out and about in loud areas, you won’t hear the music as well obviously because they are open ended earbuds. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds we’re surprisingly comfortable once I got a proper fit and honestly forgot they were there. I tested them out at work using my hair to cover them and I could still hear everything around me perfectly and safely. I can’t speak to how long they will last but I’ve used them for 3 to 4 hours straight and still had 70% battery left. This being my first pair of open ended earbuds. I was quite surprised at how great they sounded, and I’m really glad to have them in my repertoire of headphones and earbuds. I have honestly really been enjoying using the Bose Ultra Open earbuds.

They are great for music, but if you're looking to use these as earbuds to hear people while talking, DONT... Its a waste of money and time.
