I really wanted to love them.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cons- Phone calls sound like you’re in a wind tunnel and it’s difficult to hear even if you’re inside. If you play your music louder, people next to you can easily hear it. Pros - they are very comfortable and do not come off of your ears.

Posted .I'm glad you like the comfort and stable fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds! At most listening levels, people around you shouldn't hear anything; however, they may do if you use the earbuds at loud volumes in quieter environments. On phone calls, make sure your earbuds are being worn correctly, see here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001brKkAAI&language=en_US. Our support team will provide further assistance, if needed. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Do not buy these Bose Open earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this Bose Open earbuds on Dec 15-2025, They stopped working on Jan 28-2026, I went to BestBuy in Odessa TX on 2/3/2026. After they checked my earbuds, they told me I have to pay $40 restocking fee or I have to file a claim on Bose Website. With these expensive earbuds you think you would use them for long time, the answer would be “NO” I only used them for 1 month and a half. I would not recommend anyone buying these Bose Open earbuds.

May Not Fit Large Ears
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It will not fit in my ears. Perhaps the rim of my ears are a bit thicker than average - but not by much. I felt like the buds will not sit correctly in my ears no matter how many times I repositioned them. Unfortunately, these buds only come in one size. So if your ears are a bit larger than average, you may run into the same issue as me. Due to this, the quality of the sound didn't sound to great to me (But I think if they sat in my ear correctly, it probably would've sounded better). I really hope that Bose can make these buds in a larger size - because I was really looking forward to owning them. I decided to return mine.

Posted .Hi Kimm, I'm sorry to hear you returned your Ultra Open Earbuds due to the fit not being quite right. The Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to fit as wide a range of ears as possible, however it is true that fit is subjective from customer to customer. Trying to reposition the earbuds is a good thing to try, and perhaps the following fit guide will also help: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001pWLKAA2&language=en_US.

Posted .Hello Yolanda, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Ultra Open Earbuds' bass performance! Don't forget that these earbuds come with an Equalizer built into the app. This allows you to fine-tune your sound, in order to achieve the bass, mid and treble output that you're looking for. To use the Equalizer, go to the Bose app, select your earbuds, then tap the "EQ" button in the lower-left corner. Or, within the "Sound" section of the Settings menu, select "Equalizer". I hope this information is useful! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Posted .Hi SamuelA, thank you for sharing your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are equipped with two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can greatly improve call quality. Blocked microphones may cause poor sound quality for the person on the other end of the call. Please make sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear.
We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing microphone issues, and we’d be happy to help you resolve this. You can check out this helpful link for more information: https://bose.life/3N7ubHl
