    Great quality headphone when listing to music. Sounds great and is not painful to wear. However, calls not so very good. Very difficult to be heard on the other end.

    Great sound quality. I love the range of volume, keeping it low lets you hear the surrounding but if you increase the volume you can focus on the music when needed. Been on several runs and they fit well, no movement. Still getting used to the control but so far very good product. I tried out shokz since they’re all the rave in the running community but didn’t come close to these. Someone swears I just got defective shokz but Bose always delivers on sound quality.

    Purchased Bose Ultra open earbuds back in Oct 2025.I found them to be easy to setup in Bose app on my Ihone 13 pro max. I found the fit to be secure to my ear.The sound from them was excellent for a open ear design.The controls on the earbuds were very easy to use to change settings and adjust volume and tracks.Have owned numerous Bose products over the years and they never disappoint Sound quality is . top notch.You hear the music and outside surroundings.

    I loved these. I’m one who doesn’t like to have earphones go in my ears. But the comfort and lightness of them was fantastic. And they stay on throughout my workouts no worrying about them falling off. The sound was amazing. I only wished they had a tracking in case they get lost.

    I have used these earbuds for about a month now and they have a pretty good sound. It states you can use two devices, but I found that it really works better if only one device is connected to the buds.

    This are a great option for open ear headset, battery life is awesome and they can adjust to the ear in different positions. I like them for outdoors exercising. Sometimes it struggles to switch connections between windows and Mac or iPhone, but having the case nearby solves the problem.

    Good wireless earbuds with a few glaring issues that hold them back from being great. The Good: Despite my initial fears, I love how these fit. I've never had issues with comfort. So much so that I no longer want to use the standard, in-ear earbuds. Having your ears free is so much nicer! They sound good! But with an asterisk... I'm not an audiophile, so I don't have the ear for different kinds of sound. But they are clear, no distortion, and I have no issue with how they sound. Physical control buttons! Touch panels are awful, so having physical buttons to use is great! They're the kind that you have to press and hold in different ways, but I'll take what I can get. I mostly use them for one-press play/pause. Easy to set up, and the app lets you set up the different audio modes easily. The Bad: Another app you're forced to use... Seriously, it gets tiring to have to download a new app for everything. The asterisk about sound? The default Stereo mode is not very good. Muted, dull, and not all that clear. Once you swap it to Immersive Audio, however, they pick up. Immersive Audio is a neat gimmick, but it's just that. A gimmick. I'm sure some people would like it, but I leave it on the motion one just for the better sound. The Ugly: That price is FAR too high for what these are! They're good, but nothing close to $300 good! Maybe $100, I'd argue you had something there. As much as I like the fit and think they sound good? No thank you. This is my second pair since my first decided to begin failing on me after a year of ownership. The case, for whatever reason, refused to charge if it was not being actively messed with. I'd only really use the left one, which is the one that would be dead the next day. Fully charged case and everything, but my bud would be dead unless I opened the lid, removed the bud, placed it back, and then it would charge. So... Good earbuds for way too much money, considering that these, like all wireless earbuds, are just rentals. You're going to scrap these in the future. Three batteries in these so ONE of them is going to give up one day. If you can get them at a massive discount, I'd recommend it. Do NOT pay full price.

      We appreciate your detailed review! It’s great to hear that the fit and sound quality worked well for you, and that you found the physical buttons to be a huge plus. We understand the frustration with needing another app, however with the Bose app you can have control over multiple products using a single App. Your insight on long-term durability is also an important consideration. If you ever run into issues, we recommend reaching out to our support teams directly. You can get in contact via Social Media, or using this link: https://bose.life/globalsupport.

    I bought them for my mom and she loves them. They’re great for wearing out if you want to listen to music while still being aware of your surroundings. They don’t sit in your ears like traditional earbuds and they are comfortable and compact. The buds sit on the lobe of your ears and don’t fall out or off.

    This earbuds are amazing. I love the new design. They are light and comfortable. They are flexible, yet easy to connect and control. The noise canceling is good and also allows for sufficient noise penetration in a work environment. They are great additions to my “toys” .

    Not the Bose I Remember—Returned With Regret

    The Bose Ultra Open Ear wireless earbuds just didn’t hit the mark for me—especially when it came to sound quality. I wanted immersive, enjoyable audio, but what I got felt flat and underwhelming for something carrying the Bose name. That said, my biggest issue isn’t exclusive to this model. It’s something I’ve noticed with multiple recent Bose Bluetooth headphones: the call performance has taken a serious hit across the board. The active noise cancellation (ANC), or maybe whatever processing is layered with it, seems to interfere with voice clarity. My voice is often transmitted lower than the background noise—leaving the person on the other end hearing more of my environment than me. With the Ultra Open Ear specifically, my wife and kids frequently told me I sounded like I was in a tunnel, or they’d hear their own voices echo back during calls. This happened whether I was moving in a car or even sitting stationary in my office. The clarity just wasn’t there, and it made hands-free calls frustrating instead of convenient. Bose still delivers on build quality and aesthetics, but they’ve drifted from the acoustic precision and reliability that made them a leader. It feels like the brand is leaning too much on its legacy—and less on making sure every new product is actually worthy of that legacy. I returned these, and I hope Bose takes feedback like this seriously.

    I was looking for open ear headphones among different brands and this convinced me at the end and I’m not disappointed with my buy. They really are very comfortable that sometimes I even don’t feel them. Audio quality is awesome compared to other similar brands and you can customize it! Some People complain about max audio level but I’m not, these are OPEN EAR so they are not meant to sound very load so you can continue hearing your surroundings. I’m more than happy with my buy!

    I bought these because I wanted to listen to music while I am at work, and these do the job. There is no bass at all, you can hear the bass only if the volume is really low, but if you want to listen to podcast these are perfect. Great sound quality but no punchy bass. I did not like that everytime a call starts there is a sound to tell you that, and you cannot hear the first 1.5 seconds of the call. These earbuds are only for cellphones, if you want to use them with PC or Nintendo Switch 2, they do not work well. There is too much latency
