Scratching sound after few days of use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 2 pairs and both pairs ended up making a scratching noise after the first few days of use. Also didn’t last 10 hours even though it said 18. They would also just disconnect from my phone out of nowhere at random times. Don’t waste your money.

Review for my new Bose Ultra Ear Buds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a bit skeptical due to fact that they don’t fit completely in your ear as my other bose ear buds did, but I have to admit that I’m very happy with these and the fact that I can still hear a bit even with them in my Ear.
I would recommend this to a friendNot a premium quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sorry. But Bose made a big mistake. I tried the set and found sound is moving between left and right devices without any reason. I can’t say this is a premium earbuds. Sorry BOSE

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for comfort and laying in bed bad for everything else.

Top comfort
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are not very loud in a loud environment but in quieter settings I absolutely love them. The call quality is lacking a little
I would recommend this to a frienddisapppointed.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for listening to music. Range is fine. I can walk around house and stay connected. If they disconnect, I have setup the bluetooth connection all over. Phone convesations are bad. Constantly, I can't hear you... you sound far... Would not recommend for the Price. Thought I was buying the best... apparently cost does not equate to quality.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the music quality and Bluetooth range, and that staying connected while moving around your home has been a positive experience.
We’re sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve experienced with phone call quality. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds feature two microphones in each earbud, and proper fit and placement can make a significant difference in call performance. If the microphones are obstructed or the earbuds aren’t positioned correctly, it may result in the other caller experiencing poor sound quality (such as voices sounding distant). We recommend ensuring the earbuds are worn as intended on each ear and that the microphones are not blocked by hair, hats, or other headwear.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. The unique open-ear design is intended to balance comfort and situational awareness, making them ideal for active lifestyles. However, we understand that earbud length and positioning can affect how sound is delivered, especially for users with different ear shapes.
The earbuds are designed in a standard size meant to fit most ears comfortably, but individual fit can vary.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 4th pair in 9 months and they still don't work, I've only been able to exchange them because I have a warranty this is the second time I've had to pay 66.00 for a two year warranty they have never worked unfortunately this time I have reached out to Bose to see if they can help me if not every 10 days I'll be exchanging them out My 1st purchase was 12/24 I was within my return policy so I returned them got busy and missed the return period so I was stuck with them or pay another 66.00 so I decided to wait hoping they may come out with a new generation of them then I would upgrade but after 8 mos with using them and no new generation insight I decided to pay the 2nd 66.00 to keep the warranty for another years hoping these would work but nope still sound muffled so l exchange them out for another new pair and they still don't work, so if Bose is not able to help me then Best Buy where I brought them from needs to figure something out or they will see me every 10 day returning these Bose ear buds if they dont work.

Posted .Hi there, thank you for your feedback! The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds offer a unique combination of innovative open-ear design, immersive audio, and all-day comfort. With their cuff-like fit, they allow you to stay aware of your surroundings while enjoying rich, private sound through our OpenAudio technology.
It’s quite rare for the same issue to persist across multiple brand-new replacements. In some cases, muffled sound can be caused by the audio source, such as the app being used or the connected device, rather than the earbuds themselves.
To help you further, here’s a helpful guide that walks through steps to troubleshoot low or muffled audio: http://bose.life/4mRCFOn
If you continue to experience issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help and want to ensure you get the best experience possible. You can reach us through this link: http://bose.life/globalsupport
