Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Purchased Bose Ultra open earbuds back in Oct 2025.I found them to be easy to setup in Bose app on my Ihone 13 pro max. 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.

The fit is amazing, very light weight I give it 5 stars. The overall rating I give 2 stars 1 because the incoming call volume is horrible. I literally can hear any and everything they’re not the least bit noise canceling. Now can I wear them at work and most think they’re a thick pair of earrings yes but not worth my 320.00 I gave them to my husband. Beautiful design but would not recommend to an enemy. The volume is low compared to apple air pods. I spent more time saying what did you say. May be okay for working out listening to low volume but for anything else.

I like my purchase due to the price. You can never go wrong with Bose. The sound quality is good so far and the ear buds fit perfectly in my ear.

Understand what you are buying and you will love them. These are not audiophile grade headphones. If you are looking for noise cancellation heavy bass and high volumes these are not for you. These serve a purpose. For what they are the sound quality is quite good. I bought these for biking and for the office. They excel at the office. I use them for calls, as a headset for listening to music etc. I can have these on playing music and still hear people approach my office and speak to them and hear them no problem. They are discreet and not extremely noticable. They are light weight and very comfortable. I wear them for hours at a time. I walk around with these not playing anything and forget they are on which is nice. Just buy them for what they are for.

I recently purchased the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds in black, and they exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is outstanding, with crisp highs and deep bass that provide an immersive listening experience without isolating you from your surroundings. The open-ear design ensures comfort even during long periods of use, making them perfect for outdoor activities or extended wear. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 8 hours on a single charge, with additional charges from the portable case. Connectivity is stable, and the intuitive touch controls are easy to use. These earbuds are a fantastic choice for anyone seeking top-notch sound quality and comfort.

This earbuds are amazing. I love the new design. They are light and comfortable. They are flexible, yet easy to connect and control. The noise canceling is good and also allows for sufficient noise penetration in a work environment. They are great additions to my “toys” .

I bought them for my mom and she loves them. They’re great for wearing out if you want to listen to music while still being aware of your surroundings. They don’t sit in your ears like traditional earbuds and they are comfortable and compact. The buds sit on the lobe of your ears and don’t fall out or off.

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.

I loved these. I’m one who doesn’t like to have earphones go in my ears. But the comfort and lightness of them was fantastic. And they stay on throughout my workouts no worrying about them falling off. The sound was amazing. I only wished they had a tracking in case they get lost.

Great headphones, the multi device syncing can be a little annoying at times but the audio quality is very good and they rest on your ear very comfortably I have even forgot they were there at times.

I bought these because I wanted to listen to music while I am at work, and these do the job. There is no bass at all, you can hear the bass only if the volume is really low, but if you want to listen to podcast these are perfect. Great sound quality but no punchy bass. I did not like that everytime a call starts there is a sound to tell you that, and you cannot hear the first 1.5 seconds of the call. These earbuds are only for cellphones, if you want to use them with PC or Nintendo Switch 2, they do not work well. There is too much latency

These headphones are so comfortable that you can wear them all day without even knowing they are on. I listen to music and watch tv with them on. I love that you can hear everything around you while still hearing your program. Way to go Bose.

Geat sound quality, comfortable and secure. Battery life could be better.

The “open ear” design of these headphones is great even if it takes a bit of getting used to. Bought these as an alternative to in-ear headphones as I always have issues with either pain or headphone falling off just walking or if i try to work out in them. Theyre very light when you have them on and they sound good. It takes time to find the best way to put them on your ear to reduce the amount of fatigue you feel on your ears while also being able to PROPERLY hear the sound. Its easy to put them on wrong. Itll probably take some time to get used to the feeling of having them on and itll probably hurt a bit after a few hours at the start but I use them for about 6-12 hours a day at work (healthcare) and I hardly notice theyre on anymore. My big issue with these headphones is the price point. I got mine on open box + clearance/sale for about $160 and i would say that thats a much better price point. $200 is fine but $300 is a bit steep. Even if its a standard price for “higher end” earbuds. They did have a no audio issues that was solves by factory resetting the headphones.

Good wireless earbuds with a few glaring issues that hold them back from being great. The Good: Despite my initial fears, I love how these fit. I've never had issues with comfort. So much so that I no longer want to use the standard, in-ear earbuds. Having your ears free is so much nicer! They sound good! But with an asterisk... I'm not an audiophile, so I don't have the ear for different kinds of sound. But they are clear, no distortion, and I have no issue with how they sound. Physical control buttons! Touch panels are awful, so having physical buttons to use is great! They're the kind that you have to press and hold in different ways, but I'll take what I can get. I mostly use them for one-press play/pause. Easy to set up, and the app lets you set up the different audio modes easily. The Bad: Another app you're forced to use... Seriously, it gets tiring to have to download a new app for everything. The asterisk about sound? The default Stereo mode is not very good. Muted, dull, and not all that clear. Once you swap it to Immersive Audio, however, they pick up. Immersive Audio is a neat gimmick, but it's just that. A gimmick. I'm sure some people would like it, but I leave it on the motion one just for the better sound. The Ugly: That price is FAR too high for what these are! They're good, but nothing close to $300 good! Maybe $100, I'd argue you had something there. As much as I like the fit and think they sound good? No thank you. This is my second pair since my first decided to begin failing on me after a year of ownership. The case, for whatever reason, refused to charge if it was not being actively messed with. I'd only really use the left one, which is the one that would be dead the next day. Fully charged case and everything, but my bud would be dead unless I opened the lid, removed the bud, placed it back, and then it would charge. So... Good earbuds for way too much money, considering that these, like all wireless earbuds, are just rentals. You're going to scrap these in the future. Three batteries in these so ONE of them is going to give up one day. If you can get them at a massive discount, I'd recommend it. Do NOT pay full price.

I was looking for open ear headphones among different brands and this convinced me at the end and I’m not disappointed with my buy. They really are very comfortable that sometimes I even don’t feel them. Audio quality is awesome compared to other similar brands and you can customize it! Some People complain about max audio level but I’m not, these are OPEN EAR so they are not meant to sound very load so you can continue hearing your surroundings. I’m more than happy with my buy!

This is the second pair I bougt. Bougjt the first pair about 18 months ago and used them everyday. The battery aged out after 18 months so I bought this new pair. Comfortable, good sound quality. Got my money’s worth.

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.

Bought for the sole reason of wearing while doing yard work and other outdoor activities. Sound is great, decent battery life and they stay in place. Have bought additional pairs for family members because they work so well.
