    Very stylish and work well overall. The sound is good and they look great. However, during phone calls, people sometimes have trouble hearing me. Also, they don’t work with Siri, which is a bit disappointing.

    It's a perfect alternative to earphones if you are not comfortable to continuously have earphones plugged into your ear. Can use it for extended duration without any discomfort. Sound quality is also good.

    These are both great, and not great at the same time. The greats- they STAY IN PLACE. These will not fall out or off while running, which is specifically why I bought them. They also sound wonderful! The not as great- They sometimes switch listening mode on their own, so the music will sound surround and full, then switch to a more transparent, dull sound all of the sudden. Sometimes the only fix is simply opening the Bose app then it correct itself, so unsure whats going on. Or I'll get a weird connection interference sound mid songs if other bluetooth devices are around it. Since this pair can be updated, hopefully these are software fixes. Once fixed this is a definitely 5 star pair of headphones.

      Hey Matthew,

      Many thanks for leaving your initial thoughts of the Ultra Open Earbuds! It's great to hear you chose this product for your music listening needs and it's fantastic to learn they have fit you well, especially when you've been exercising.

      With your feedback regarding them switching automatically, this clearly isn't normal behavior and not something that is expected to happen so we'd encourage you to reach out to us so we can learn more about the problem. If it's happening randomly, I'd also suggest resetting the buds and setting them up as a new device to see if a fresh connection makes any changes to performance. You can find instructions for resetting the buds here: https://bose.life/4eSKFfe.

      Still need help? We're here to help! Get in touch today: https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.

    I never had an open ear earbud before and these are great! Feels really good on my ear, the sound is what you paid for. Open ear means that you can hear your surroundings but also your music at the same time. When you tilt your head up or down, the music flows with the movement!

    These Bose clip-on headphones are great if you don’t want full noise cancellation. They don’t block everything out, but that’s actually what I like about them. I can listen to my music while still being aware of my surroundings, especially when I’m out and about. Comfortable and convenient.

    Not the Bose I Remember—Returned With Regret

    The Bose Ultra Open Ear wireless earbuds just didn’t hit the mark for me—especially when it came to sound quality. I wanted immersive, enjoyable audio, but what I got felt flat and underwhelming for something carrying the Bose name. That said, my biggest issue isn’t exclusive to this model. It’s something I’ve noticed with multiple recent Bose Bluetooth headphones: the call performance has taken a serious hit across the board. The active noise cancellation (ANC), or maybe whatever processing is layered with it, seems to interfere with voice clarity. My voice is often transmitted lower than the background noise—leaving the person on the other end hearing more of my environment than me. With the Ultra Open Ear specifically, my wife and kids frequently told me I sounded like I was in a tunnel, or they’d hear their own voices echo back during calls. This happened whether I was moving in a car or even sitting stationary in my office. The clarity just wasn’t there, and it made hands-free calls frustrating instead of convenient. Bose still delivers on build quality and aesthetics, but they’ve drifted from the acoustic precision and reliability that made them a leader. It feels like the brand is leaning too much on its legacy—and less on making sure every new product is actually worthy of that legacy. I returned these, and I hope Bose takes feedback like this seriously.

    Love these ear phones! I have really small ears and these fit so comfortably without hurting them after long wear. I also love the open ear sound because I can run comfortably while being able to hear my surroundings without taking away from the quality of the sound.

    Amazing audio quality considering they are not truly in my ears and the comfort is surprising as I forget they are even on. Great for any outdoor activity where you still want to hear your surroundings. Highly recommend!!!!

    This are a great option for open ear headset, battery life is awesome and they can adjust to the ear in different positions. I like them for outdoors exercising. Sometimes it struggles to switch connections between windows and Mac or iPhone, but having the case nearby solves the problem.

    Open ear headphones... doesn't seem what I need to drown out the noise. Decided to try them, and I have to say the fit is great and comfortable. The sound amazes me that it could be this good not even covering my ears. And nobody can hear them near me. Took a minute to find the right position for them but they have amazing immersive sound. Cant wait to actually try them in a louder environment. The fact that I forgot I had any headphones on is a plus. And they are easy to use. Easy setup and easy customization!

    Great sound quality. I love the range of volume, keeping it low lets you hear the surrounding but if you increase the volume you can focus on the music when needed. Been on several runs and they fit well, no movement. Still getting used to the control but so far very good product. I tried out shokz since they’re all the rave in the running community but didn’t come close to these. Someone swears I just got defective shokz but Bose always delivers on sound quality.

I found the fit to be secure to my ear.The sound from them was excellent for a open ear design.The controls on the earbuds were very easy to use to change settings and adjust volume and tracks.Have owned numerous Bose products over the years and they never disappoint Sound quality is . top notch.You hear the music and outside surroundings.
