|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are very unique and innovative. I initially wasn't sure how to even wear them. Surprisingly they are comfortable, I never thought to have a design that wraps behind the ear lobe. I like how they are less likely to capture a lot of ear wax over time and need to be cleaned since they don't go into the ear canal. I've worn them for hours and haven't gotten any kind of ear fatigue. My kids even love wearing them and manage to keep them attached. I don't believe these are made for every situation. Since there isn't a good seal in the ear canal they aren't good for blocking out sound like when traveling in an airplane or out in the wind hence the “open” earbud. Think of it more like having your own personal boom box where you can still hear all the ambient sound around you but no one can hear your jams. I think this is good for outdoor activities where you need to hear for traffic and what not. These were awful for taking phone calls on. Even with adjusting placement the person sounded very far away. They could also barely hear me. I haven't had this issue with any of my other earbuds even other Bose. They worked ok for working out but I kept having the sensation that they were going to fall out. They didn't actually fall out but with enough sweat it seems like they might. When running I was worried the pounding steps would make them bounce on my ear lobes with most the weight being outside the ear but they didn't. Sound-wise they are Bose. I got a full spectrum of highs to lows. I loved watching movies with them. There's an Immersive setting that acts like a surround sound to me. These earbuds have a Still and Motion Immersive mode. Still is interesting but I'm not sure the use case. It makes the sound follow the source. So if you turn your head away the music is louder on the side closest to your device. The Motion setting allows you to move your head without changing the sound. Another feature is Auto Volume that will increase or lower the volume based on how much outside noise there is. Probably good for public transit. I think their battery life is great. I used them quite a bit and didn't have to worry about them running low or the case running low. The Bose Music app is super helpful explaining the product, changing settings, and instructing on wearing. With everything being touch these days I'm surprised Bose went with physical buttons but they work fine. Instead of things being one finger controllable you have to pinch the back body to depress the button. I guess I would recommend these. I'm very disappointed with the quality of phone calls but honestly I never use earbuds for that anyways so it doesn't effect me.

Posted .Hi there, we appreciate your valuable feedback. By design, the Open Earbuds do not block out the environment or feature noise cancelling, allowing you to enjoy your music while remaining aware of your surroundings. They do have an automatic volume control feature, available in the Bose app, which helps ensure consistent sound levels as your environment changes from quiet to loud. Additionally, you can adjust the earbuds slightly up or down the outside of your ears to improve comfort, sound balance, appearance, or to reduce interference with jewelry.

Poor sound quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage! Don't waste your money. I am someone who has had multiple Bose speakers and these by far are the worst quality. I like how they feel in the ears but the sound quality is junk. You would be better off on buying a pair of head phones from your local gas station.For what they are they should only cost $50

Posted .I'm sorry to hear your Ultra Open Earbuds didn't quite match your previous Bose experiences! Although these earbuds don't sit directly in the ear canal, the OpenAudio technology will still direct rich-quality sound into your ears.
