If I could give zero stars I would!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so excited to get these headphones and was so disappointed when they arrived. I could barely hear out of them, you can’t talk on them and any loud noise cancels out the headsets. SMH. Cool design but horribly executed. SMH Not to mention I barely had the headsets for two weeks before the headset completely stopped working and would not connect to my Bluetooth. Took them back today and was just one day shy of my return window. Don’t waste your money guys. Grab some AirPods or Beats.

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you didn't get on well with the Ultra Open Earbuds, Kammie! While these earbuds don't offer noise cancelling due to their open-ear design, they do have a microphone, enabling you to take/make calls, access your voice assistant, and more. As for the Bluetooth connection issues you mentioned, try rebooting your mobile device; if that doesn't help, our customer support team will be happy to assist you further: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Posted .Hello, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Ultra Open Earbuds feature a microphone system that allows you to use them during calls. The microphone system will even adapt to your environment to isolate your voice from competing background noises and wind during calls. Our design of the Open Earbuds is particularly conducive to calling. Without your ears blocked you can hear your own voice in a completely natural way, making remote conversations feel more like in-person ones.

It’s all about design

Not good for noisy places
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They don't perform well on noisy places. Volume is not high enough to clearly hear. Lost my money :(

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you're not completely happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds! Due to their open-ear design, a particularly noisy background can present issues. For this, I would recommend one of our earbud solutions that sits directly in the ear canal. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Only one bud works on a brand new unit.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reddit reviews said buds had software issues with only one bud working. I bought anyway because of comfort and open air design…as I go trail running a lot. One bud stopped working right after I took a phone call using the buds. Reset did nothing.

Not good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $300 these are by far the worst headphones I have used. If they were $50, different story. The idea of them is really cool but the quality is so bad. Using these headphones I felt like I was transported to 2004 with the worst sound quality imaginable. Do not buy these headphones if you like to be fully immersed in music while working out. Get you some IEM's or ever Apple Airpods for around the same price. Oh, and these headphone cannot handle rock music at all. So if that's your favorite genre of music to work out to, then dont buy these

Posted .We appreciate your honest feedback. Due to its open design, these earbuds do not feature any noise cancellation and provide a completely different experience than traditional earbuds. This model allows you to enjoy your favorite media while remaining alert to the surrounding world. We understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to listening to music, and we appreciate you trying the Open Earbuds. We’d be happy to explore any settings or adjustments that might improve your experience.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like the previous reviews, the call quality is complete trash! For headphones that are $300 they should sound like it. Bose really dropped the ball.

Just my opinion, complete garbage
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the bose quiet comfort ultra buds that go in your ear, personally, the main focus I'm looking for when i purchase any earbuds is how well the noise cancelation quality is. Not only does it not have noise cancelation, these feel like they're gonna fall off your ear when you're walking. I bought these, walked out to my car, popped them in to check them out and not even 5 minutes later, walked back in to return them. I wish i could give a half star
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Thanks for your review. Due to their open-ear design, the Ultra Open Earbuds are not advertised as having noise cancellation. Their wrap-around grip is feather-light, but it is also designed to be secure, ensuring that your Ultra Open Earbuds won't fall off. If you're looking for a pair of earbuds with noise cancelling and a design that fits directly in the ear, I would recommend trying the new QuietComfort Earbuds. Let us know if you have any questions about these! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
No “find my bud” option
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can’t believe that I spent $300 for these today and they no longer have the “find my bud” option. The old ones had the option to find a lost ear bud….very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Hi Misty, thanks for your review! Like most Bose earbuds, the Ultra Open Earbuds don't feature a "find my bud" feature. However, thanks to their wrap-around design, the Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to stay put, so you won't have to worry about losing one. You may even forget that you're wearing them after a while. I hope this information helps! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Not my cup of tea
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My honest opinion? I think they are definitely OVER priced! And are booty...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Horrible! Probably the worst
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The clip design on these earbuds is horrendous. Couldn’t get the inner piece to sit comfortably in my ears. Struggled to get the correct fit for two days and because of the horrible fit, the sound and volume quality was also horrible. Needless to say, I returned them and will unlikely purchase any more ear buds from Bose.

Posted .Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with the Ultra Open Earbuds' look and feel. The earbuds are designed to grip the user's ears lightly but firmly, so that the buds will sit correctly and supply rich-quality audio. It is true that fit and comfort are subjective to each customer, however we would always recommend that each customer try the earbuds and see how they get on. If issues occur, our support team will always be happy to assist: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
