Bose new Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily fits on the ear but voice quality was average. Not worth $300.

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

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.

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.

Looks cool, but practical.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cool design, not remotely practical. It do not work for me at all. I went to the car, tried them, went back and returned them. They look sleek but i don’t know who they would even work for.

Do not buy these Bose Open earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this Bose Open earbuds on Dec 15-2025, They stopped working on Jan 28-2026, I went to BestBuy in Odessa TX on 2/3/2026. After they checked my earbuds, they told me I have to pay $40 restocking fee or I have to file a claim on Bose Website. With these expensive earbuds you think you would use them for long time, the answer would be “NO” I only used them for 1 month and a half. I would not recommend anyone buying these Bose Open earbuds.

Posted .Hi SamuelA, thank you for sharing your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are equipped with two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can greatly improve call quality. Blocked microphones may cause poor sound quality for the person on the other end of the call. Please make sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear.
We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing microphone issues, and we’d be happy to help you resolve this. You can check out this helpful link for more information: https://bose.life/3N7ubHl

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.

Posted .Hi Ronnie, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment! Thanks to their OpenAudio technology, the Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to channel rich, high-quality volume into your ears, whilst keeping your ears open to the world around you. If you're having volume issues, make sure your connected mobile device is turned up all the way. Another thing to try is a quick reset of your earbuds, which is done as follows: https://support.bose.com/s/article/ult-headphoneopn-resetting-your-product---ka08c000001bufcaaa?isSessionCreated=true&language=en_US.
