Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the exceptional sound quality, comfortable fit, and lightweight design of these earbuds, which many users find ideal for smaller ears. While the battery life and open-ear style are also frequently praised, some users have expressed concerns regarding occasional connectivity issues and a maximum volume level that feels too low. Additionally, a small portion of customers feel that the product is priced higher than its overall value.

    These buds won’t work for everybody. So with that being said I absolutely love them because I hate to keep pushing buds into my ear canal. And I work in a warehouse so I need to hear everything around me. The sound quality is excellent as with any Bose. I don’t talk to anyone so I don’t care about a microphone but everyone hears me clearly when I do talk. I got these for comfort. So if you love regular earbuds these probably won’t be for you.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you find the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds comfortable to wear. Regarding the bass and volume, you can customize the audio experience by adjusting the equalizer settings in the Bose App to match your preferences. This allows you to fine-tune bass, treble, and overall sound for a richer listening experience. Sometimes, the positioning of the earbuds on your ears can also impact sound quality, so you might want to visit the link below for a guide on proper placement.

    Took a little getting used to but the sound is great either in stereo or immersion. The most I’ve ever paid for earbuds.I’m hoping that they last longer than most.

    Love the concept of being able to listen to music but also hear your environment. The battery life is great but lessens when using immersive audio. I tried the immersive audio but didn't really impress me. The sound is decent but will wash out if your environment is loud.

    These fatigued my ears a bit more than the Huawei Free Clips. The Bose cost more, even after importing the Huawei clips into the U.S., but the Bose don't sound much better. Huawei free clips have better volume and are much better on calls. The Bose have the upside off an app that works by default in the USA. For the Huawei clips there was a lot of roundabout work that was needed to get their app to work inside the US. But they are hands dowb the better design for comfort and sound.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Sound Quality 10/10 Voice cancellation 8/10 since it has none on music but you can change by raising up the volume Phone Calls Quality 0/10 Not great for phone calls , I changed settings setting it on stereo or another mode where its not immersive . no one can hear me, I can barely hear them in a barely loud area . I dont understand why the quality of the call cant be like the sound quality of the Music . The 3 star review is only based on calls but if you are just going to listen to music , its a perfect 10/10 ,Adjust them as well because sometimes it may sound lower but if you push them a bit higher you can hear it very clear wihtout needed much volume PERKS- I still recommend them if your ear hurts with regular earbuds for MUSIC CONS-If you are going to do just phone calls, Consider anohter type of earbud

    The best earphones I have ever owned. Easy on the ear. You won’t even notice that you’re wearing it , Sound was excellent. I never expected it for an open earphone. The only downside I could say is that you could easily loose it without noticing it . And also the microphone has poor reception. When I use it to talk on the phone , the other side has difficulty hearing my voice. Other than that I really like the sound of this.

    Get it only if you want to splurge.

    For the price, you'd think it'll have wireless charging and much longer battery life. Sure, the audio quality is top notch. But for an open earbud, I think it's over priced even with the sale. The color blue is nice though. Get this if you want to splurge and are Bose loyalist. But if you're practical, you will want something better-- with more features, and for a lower price point.

    I absolutely love how these headphones feel and function. Wearing these during work is perfect becsue i can be fully aware of my surroundings without being hindered from hearing whats going on around me. Sometimes i forget they're there. They also are very snug and have never fallen off even after shaking my head trying to make them fall out. Cant expresss how disappointing the call quality is but if im just sitting still with no back ground noise theyre not bad for call quality. Me and my wife both have a pair and only use them to call eachother if we arent actively doing something(driving or ither things that have active background noise) with all that said theyre honestly great, reliable, and quality for music. We will be keeping ours but really wish the call quality was better. You can enable the "auto noise" setting to make it better but still not the best. There you have it folks. Theyre great lol just not best call quality.

      Thank you for sharing such a detailed and balanced review! It’s great to hear that the headphones excel in comfort, fit, and functionality, especially for work and music. However, it’s clear the call quality leaves something to be desired, particularly in environments with background noise. It’s helpful that you mentioned the "auto noise" setting as a partial workaround, though it’s unfortunate it doesn’t fully resolve the issue. Overall, it seems these headphones are fantastic for music and daily wear, but not ideal for calls in active settings. In order to address this, we would recommend reaching out to our support team.
