Wasn't have good connection whit android special on call

Don’t snug the ear enough. Sound is very soft and distant I returned right away

I run outdoors a lot and I like to be aware of my surroundings because there are a lot of bikers and cars passing by and you never know what might happen. I learned my lesson when I had a close call with a car that lost control and I couldn't hear the honking with my noise cancelling ear buds (that would always wiggle out of my ear canal eventually). My left ear has a weird ear canal where most earbuds will rattle out eventually, which left me to utilize the ear hook style headphones when running. The only issue with the ear hook style is that they still shift more than I would like. The ear clip design of the Ultra Opens are a very new design that solves my specific problem. I can hear my surroundings and they don't wiggle around. In addition the sound quality is much better than my ear hook style earbuds. Now, I am not saying the Ultra open earbuds will be a bass head's first choice because without a proper seal you will not be getting any significant bass. For those that want to be aware of their surroundings and want earbuds designed for runners and bikers that want to be aware of their surroundings, then these are the earbuds you've been looking for. The one feature I wish these earbuds had is wireless charging. I think Bose really missed an opportunity by not having wireless charging.

Sound quality is horrible returned so not recommend

does not work well sound will not buy again poor quality

The sound is great especially for me who prefers to listen to music and also stay aware of my surroundings. I really appreciate the uniqueness of the design. When I’m on the phone it’s hard for family/friends to hear me sometimes especially if theres noise being made around me though that’s one thing that for sure needs to be improved. Otherwise, its nice to have. The battery life is great on them as well.

These Bose open earbuds are excellent and are definitely worth it! Bose never ceases to disappoint me especially regarding the quality of the sound that comes out of any of their products. These ones not only sound good, but for a new concept of having open earbuds, I believe Bose hit it right out of the park. As far as the style is concerned, it looks nice and futuristic, but I think they could’ve done better. The charging case is rounded so it can’t stand, and it’s a little bigger than other charging case. The open concept is what makes it stand out since not many others, if any, have this. “Clipping” the earbuds on the ears instead of inserting it is a game changer. The earbuds themselves are lightweight. If not for audio coming out, I don’t think I’ll remember putting them on. Regarding the quality of the sound, because these are open earbuds, you won’t hear the bass and other minute details as well as you normally would if you have earbuds that you insert in your ears. However, it’s Bose so they made sure it still produced excellent sound. The levels are well balanced as usual, including the bass, and the dialogue is still crisp when watching videos. There are a few things I don’t like about this, besides not being able to get the best sound since they’re open earbuds. The bluetooth connection is spotty, getting disconnected at times. Also, I’m not sure what the reason is, but sometimes, the sound gets staticky which is a minor issue. It gets fixed right away just by moving the earbuds. The features are a plus. The immersive audio is pretty cool. The sound really seems like it’s coming from somewhere else. Either it’s stationary or it’s moving with you. The battery life is long. I used it all day, and it lasted for more than six hours. Charging it was very quick. Because they’re open earbuds, there isn’t a noise cancelling feature which is fine by me. I prefer to be aware of my surroundings. Surprisingly, as loud as it can get, other people seemingly can’t hear what you’re listening to. Overall, I believe the pros outweigh the cons. These earbuds are great. I definitely recommend this especially if you’re someone active. These really don’t come off. I shook my head violently, and it still stayed in place. Once again, Bose came out with a great product.

I havent found a single thing not to like about these earbuds . The design is innovative and perfect . I love the way it fits and feels. Sound has bass and crystal clear audio . And the calls have worked great for me . I will update my review if i find anything i dont like .

Bose Open Earbuds Ultra is an interesting take on the open headphone/earbud concept. As an audiophile that also suffers from chronic ear infections, Traditional earbuds are a challenge to keep clean and keep from creating or exacerbating ear problems. This open ear concept is a wonderful creation and much better than bone conduction earphones. The way the Ultras "clamp" onto your ear takes some getting used to but they are not uncomfortable. The nice thing is that the position can be adjusted. Unlike traditional earbuds, these have a look more like a thick earring so it's not obvious you are wearing earbuds. Sound quality is good and clear, however due to the design, bass does seem to suffer. In a number of places these give the effect that the sound isn't in your ear, but rather coming from around you in the room like traditional speakers. You can also turn on Auto-Volume which raises and lowers the volume depending on your environment. As to be expected by design, there is no noise cancelling function. For people that are concerned with safety, or need to be able to hear ambient sounds due to their work or environment the open design ear means that you can really hear everything around you. Pairing is a breeze with no issues across multiple devices. Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Iphone 14, Galaxy tab 8. The Bose app is intuitive and gives you access to all the extended functions. If you already have the app for other Bose products, it's simple to add these in. A couple of detractors are the price and which at $299 is a little steep (But in my opinion worth it) and the phone call quality. Listeners said I sounded far off, and I would have trouble hearing callers in louder open environments. These are great for active people. Riding a mountain bike, jogging, working out at the gym and even vigorous headshaking did not cause them to fall off.

The sound is great and they don’t hurt my ears like others do. They feel really light.

I was wary of these but should have gotten them sooner. The best way I can describe the experience of wearing these is, it’s kind of like having a really good sound system in whatever space you’re in. You can listen to these and everything around you, but the music, or podcast, or whatever you’re playing is private and insanely high quality, especially at lower volumes. The immersive feature is also pretty cool, and the battery is a monster. I was also surprised at how little sound leakage there is. It’s not particularly detectable unless you blast the volume, and you won’t want to. The only thing that’s not great is the call quality. I’ve tried a few times and don’t really like using them for phone calls.
