Great but pricey
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones, only thing is I feel it’s too expensive for $300. If it’s going to $300 it has to have what the other competition has such as wireless charging, multipoint etc.

I would recommend this to a friend Buyer beware
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are not worth the price. I bought them for my wife and the sound is very low, the person on the other end can barely hear what youre saying and no matter what adjustments we made, still the same result.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re sorry to hear that the performance did not meet your expectations, particularly with sound levels and call clarity, as providing clear audio and reliable communication is very important to us.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. For calls, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have two microphones in each earbud, and proper positioning can make a noticeable difference in call quality. Blocked microphones may affect how well you’re heard on the other end, so we recommend ensuring the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear and that the microphones are not obstructed by hair, headwear, or accessories.

Depends
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] You can still carry on a conversation with someone near you while still listening to music. The quality is amazing. However, if you’re looking for an immersive sound, these are not the headphones you want. Realistically, it sounds like a speaker surrounding you while you can still hear everything else. if that is what you want, you would definitely enjoy them. Ultimately I returned these as i couldnt justify the cost over buying a portable speaker.

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds, though you did like their sound and open-ear design! For immersive audio, I'd recommend one of our other in-ear solutions, namely the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. These buds sit directly in the ear canal, and the Immersive Audio settings will make your music feel like it's coming from outside the earbuds! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are comfortable but I have connectivity issues often. Also experiecing static and one or the other continues to disconnect often for no apparent reason. Or, sometimes they neither of connect at all. Takes 2-3 tries before I can get a connection. Poor product overall but they look nice. Lol

I would recommend this to a friend Good headphones, phone quality subpar, allergic
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A number of people are looking for alternatives to airpod pro earbuds, and I'm one of them. I have some sort of allergy to the new airpods and the new bose quietcomfort (and ultra) buds and overears, so I tried these after returning the ultra overears because of that allergy. So, first warning, if those allergies affect you, the strap in between the battery and speaker appears made of the same material and while I didnt have an issue immediately, it has come up again more slowly and just where that part touches the skin. Unfortunately I was letting my ears heal a bit from the ultra overears before using these a lot and I'm stuck with them because my return period is over, so if anyone at Bose is reading this and can help, I'd sure appreciate it. To the actual product: I think that overall, these are what I expected as far as music sound goes. Connected to my iOS devices, phone quality is poor. I've been told numerous times I sound awful and have had to remove them to use speaker or another device, unfortunately my use is about 50/50 phone calls and music. I own the glasses and these are definitely a step up in the right direction. I like these better than the openfit and openrun from competitors, but I just cant use them due to whatever all these manufacturers are putting on the silicon/rubber/whatever. Really, if you can fix the phone call quality these are closer to 4.5 stars, if you can make me non-allergic, then I'd give just about anything.

Posted .Thanks for your review of the Ultra Open Earbuds! While I'm happy to hear that you've been enjoying the Bose sound, I am sorry to hear about what appears to be an allergic reaction to part of the product - as well as the phone call issues you've outlined. My suggestion would be to contact Bose's technical support team, so that both issues can be looked at more closely with regards to finding a solution for you.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After owning Bose, klipsch and Sonos amongst others over the years I’ve concluded I’m a Bose fan. These people put in the work. I was skeptic about these little guys but they blew my mind. I honestly don’t understand how they crank the bass on these. They’re pricey but I would challenge any competitors to equalize with out-ear headphones
