Decent open air
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent but not great. It’s nice to have open air to hear the surrounding noise but when you’re in a loud environment hearing music or phone calls is very difficult. I wouldn’t buy these again

Posted .Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the open-ear design and its ability to keep you aware of your surroundings. That said, we’re sorry to hear that the performance in louder environments didn’t meet your expectations.
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to prioritize situational awareness, which can sometimes affect sound isolation and clarity in noisy settings. We understand this trade-off may not work for everyone, especially if you often use them in busy or loud environments.
If you're looking for something that offers better sound isolation and a more immersive listening experience, perhaps you'd be interested in trying our QuietComfort earbuds. They’re designed to block out background noise, making them ideal for enjoying music or taking calls even in busy or noisy settings.

Too Many Issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The concept is great, however they were constantly disconnecting to where you need the case to do a “hard reset” to get them to connect again. I couldn’t even get through 30 minutes without them messing up like that. I had to return them. Definitely not worth the frustration. It’s a known issue…which I didn’t know before I purchased.

Posted .Hi there, we appreciate your valuable feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to offer a great mix of comfort, sound quality, and innovative features. With multipoint connectivity, you can seamlessly connect to up to two devices via Bluetooth.
That said, Bluetooth disconnections can occasionally occur due to factors like signal interference, the distance between the earbuds and the connected device, or nearby electronics. These can impact performance depending on the environment.
If you’re open to giving them another shot or exploring other models, feel free to reach out, we’d be more than happy to help you find the perfect match for your needs.

Can be hard to hear it
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They super great for not being in your ear, if you like noise cancellation this product isn’t for you. I work on a tug so background noise can make it hard to hear while talking on the phone or listening to music. I have zero complaints for using around normal noise levels like shopping, or being around the house.

Small, Comfortable, Great Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Inside the box is the ear buds themselves, charging case, charging cable, and warranty/safety informational guide. There is a quick start guide (QR code) on the inside of the opening of the box and thankfully I noticed before the box was thrown in the recycle bin. First Impression - These wireless buds sport a unconventional shape, but an undeniably extraordinary sound. QR Code/Quick Start - The quick start guide is very helpful in giving a move vivid description of how to put the headphones on, updates the firmware, lets you customize the key bindings of the buttons and equalizer/sound controls. I definitely recommend downloading the app. Open Earbuds/Comfort - Right out of the box, the buds stunned and left an impression as I personally had never used wireless headphones with such a design, external and hanging from the edge of the ear. Though I was certainly skeptical, the design has a comfort I’d never expected. They also don’t move much, despite being held on by not but their own countered weight. Strange design aside, they were quite easy to get used to as they weigh nothing and feel like even less. If not for the music, you could easily forget the buds are there. Sound/Calls - The sound most certainly sets the bar for wireless headphones. There’s an immense amount of base, and despite the design they do block out quite a bit of external sound. So much in fact, half volume seems to be plenty, even perhaps too loud, which is a first for a fan of loud music like myself. Also vice versa the way the buds rest allow for you to listen to the area around while the music is low for some ambience or perhaps motivation on a jog. Calls are extremely clear, and the microphone seems to capture sound well. Battery Life - The battery life was not included on the box, but they seem to last around 10-12 hours from a full charge, and charge twice in their case. It took two days of listening before the buds finally indicated a low battery, and the charge was relatively short, maybe 10 or so minutes for the buds in the case and 20 for the case. The case lets you know the charge status of each bud with individual indicators, as well as an indicator for the case itself. The only issue I could find with the headphones, was a sort of glitch that disabled my ability to change the volume on my phone once the headphones were connected. Restarting the music streaming app I was using seemed to fix it, while be it temporary as it is a reoccurring thing, so it may just be the streaming app itself and not the headphones. They are also magnetic, which goes for most earbuds, but the magnet on these is quite strong and gave me a startle when I discovered pair of earrings I was not aware were also magnetic. Overall, I am highly impressed with the design, the sound and the comfort of these headphone and I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Great open ear buds. Highly recommend.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these earbuds. Open ear so I can hear my surroundings and listen to my music too. One thing though, if you wear a mask it gets caught on the elastic when removing the mask. Just be aware that when removing mask it will get caught and thrown off your ear.

Returned for two reasons
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like them and keep them but returned it. My two cents. 1) It was not great for wearing longer times. Pain in the ear lopes. 2) Sound was audible to the persons nearby as a disturbing annoyance. I have the Bose frames that I use regularly, the sound from that was not nuisance to people around me.

Posted .I'm glad you like the Ultra Open Earbuds' fit! On voice calls, you won't get quite the same quality as when you listen to music, due to the different Bluetooth profile (HSP/HFP). I hope this is useful! Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
