Really bad don't purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really bad product everybody can hear what i am listening to. Really bad sound quality. $25 openear buds works better than them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds does have OpenAudio technology it is designed to deliver rich, deep audio directly into the ear canal while using proprietary methods to minimize sound spillage in other directions. In most environments and at typical listening levels, people around you won’t hear anything.
However, if the volume is turned up to the maximum in a very quiet setting, others may notice that something is playing, but they won’t be able to hear any detail unless they are very close.

Wont fit all ear sizes
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Depending on the shape and size of your ear, it may not fit. Bose dropped the ball on the design of these. When i push it in my ear it sounds okay, not their best work either. The sound i got was just mediocre.

Posted .We're sorry to hear that the fit of our earbuds didn't meet your expectations. We understand that everyone's ears are different, and we strive to create products that fit a wide range of ear shapes and sizes. The design was made so that you can slide the earbud slightly up or down the outside of your ear to adjust for comfort,
preferred sound balance, or to avoid interference with jewelry. The fit also allows the wearer to exercise without the fear of losing one of the earbuds.
If you're experiencing discomfort or if the sound quality is not up to par, please reach out to our customer support team for assistance. We're here to help find a solution that works best for you.

Low sound

Posted .Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you're disappointed of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
By design, these earbuds don’t block out the world or have noise cancelling, however they do have an automatic volume control feature, accessible in the Bose Music app, that helps you hear your music evenly as your environment changes from quiet to loud and back. But in very noisy environments where noise cancelling is helpful, it is possible that you find the volume low for your music or during calls.
If you have any questions, or need assistance, please feel free to contact us:

Broken after 7 months with no real support options
|Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Right one stopped working after seven months. Referred to manufacture as I had not purchased plan. Bose offered me $100 off a different pair that according to BOSE would ship four weeks after they received the return. They're nice, but hope you don't have any issues as it seems the warranty is not being honored.
