Returning and getting Apple AirPods
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are not very compatible, don’t think it’s the headphones fault, more apples fault. Apple products only want to work well with Apple products. They do stay on my ear, super comfortable! But they disconnect every time, and when they die, no notification. They also suck when you’re outside, and trying to use them to talk on the phone. Majority of the time no one can hear you talking.

Posted .Hey Stephanie,
It is wonderful to see that you find them super comfortable. I am surprised you're having connectivity troubles though, and would recommend making sure you're not connecting to the LE (Low Energy) connection of the earbuds, there are other steps you can try here (https://bose.life/4byPsk5). I'd also suggest checking the fit (https://bose.life/4a1X6T0) to help with calls.
Please also contact us https://bose.life/contact as we'd love to help.

Love Love Love
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how they cup around the side of your ear & not go directly inside your ear. I don’t even feel them & don’t have to worry about them falling out of my ear. The sound quality is phenomenal.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These little things are amazing! The sound is incredible considering they are open. It took about an hour to get used to them and I’ve been able to wear them for hours! Love these little buggers! I can never get buds to stay in and then I wind up getting an ear infection! Or two! Not anymore!
I would recommend this to a friend Good luck with privacy or anything audio related
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For what they cost it’s just not worth it. The sound is not so great and to listen to it with any background noise requires you to be at max volume. Good luck if someone talks to you at all… the phone your on might as well be over. Overall not worth the price but the shokz bone conduction ear buds if you want something like this for half the price

Posted .Hi Hector, thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Ultra Open Earbuds didn’t meet your expectations, especially when it comes to sound performance and use in noisy environments.
The Ultra Open Earbuds are designed primarily for situational awareness, allowing you to stay connected to your surroundings while listening, so they may not deliver the same volume isolation or privacy as traditional in‑ear earbuds. That said, we understand that background noise and call clarity are important factors, and your experience is valuable feedback for us.
If you’re open to it, please contact us directly at https://bose.life/4cH6GgL, we are happy to review your setup and share tips that may improve performance, or help determine whether a different Bose product might better suit your needs and listening preferences.
Thank you again for your candid review. We appreciate you giving Bose a try.

Not For Gym Use
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not recommend for use in a gym. Maybe it's my own fault...for medical reasons, not supposed to insert anything into my ear canal. know they're not built for volume, but with the ambient noise/music in a gym atmosphere, they are just way too quiet. It's a struggle to even listen to a podcast. The connectivity is also surprisingly bad. The left earbud cuts out somewhat frequently, and if you cover your ear for any reason (like wiping sweat), the sound is interrupted...very strange.

Posted .Hello Mitch! We’re sorry to hear that the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds haven’t fully met your expectations. The Ultra Open Earbuds were designed with an innovative open‑ear fit to keep your ears open to the world around you while OpenAudio technology delivers rich, private sound. Because of this open design, the volume experience is different from our other earbuds, such as the QuietComfort series, which are built for immersive listening.
Regarding the connectivity issue, Bluetooth range is typically about 33 ft (10 m), but this can be reduced by obstacles such as walls, doors, pockets, or even nearby Bluetooth devices. If the earbuds and your phone are farther apart or blocked, interruptions may occur. We recommend keeping the device and earbuds closer together to help improve stability.
For more detailed steps, you can check the full troubleshooting guide through this link : https://bose.life/40lz6Y9 This will walk you through solutions that may help resolve the issues you’re experiencing with your Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re here to support you and value your feedback, it helps us continue improving our products. If the issue continues, our support team is happy to help: https://bose.life/contactus
We hope these steps help you enjoy your earbuds as intended.

Great for music not for phone call
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is like you would think for music, videos, streaming. For phone calls while paired with an IPhone 15 pro max they are not worth the even buying. If you can hear the other person on the other side it was very faint like whispers. 4 star for music, 1 star for phone calls incoming or outgoing

Posted .Hi John, happy to hear you like the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds' audio quality for music and videos! If you're having trouble hearing people on calls, try pairing your earbuds to a different device, to compare performance there. Also, try several different call apps, e.g. standard phone calls, Zoom, Teams, etc. If issues persist, please get in touch with our support team, who will assist you further: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Game changer!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are by far the most comfortable and stylish pair we have owned. Makes for good daily wearing and still having the ability to hear around you when necessary (which is great when you have kids). Love the look and feel of these.
