Wanted to love them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love these ear buds but they just didn’t do it for me. You can hear everything else going on when you have them on. May work well for others.

Posted .Hi Mari, I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with you Ultra Open Earbuds. Please note that these earbuds don't feature noise cancelling technology. If you'd prefer a noise-cancelling option, we have several in-ear and over-the-ear products to choose from. I hope this helps! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

I expected more
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially they sounded great. The second time i used them they would go in an out of phase making it sound like i was in a tunnel. I’lm stick with my quiet comfort ultra headphones instead.

I would recommend this to a friendJust bought for the aesthetic
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are pure @$$. I could stand the fact that they don’t have noise cancellation because of the design. I got these solely because I loved how they looked. What I can’t abide is how they constantly unpair from my devices and how trash they are for phone calls (no one can hear me properly on this). Even with the discounts they have on these frequently, it’s still a questionable investment.

Posted .Hi Tylor, I'm very sorry to hear your Ultra Open Earbuds are unpairing from your devices! If this is happening, try rebooting your mobile device, which can resolve such issues. If people are having trouble hearing you on calls as well, make sure you're on the latest firmware; version 4.0.22 was introduced to improve the customer's experience on calls. If these steps don't help, remember our support team will always be on hand to help you: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Too short lived for the cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't waste your money. The right ear bud failed after 1 year 4 months, just outside of warranty and Bose was zero help. They had me reset them and they worked for another week then failed again. There are less expensive alternatives that will probably last as long or longer.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re truly sorry to hear about the issue with your right earbud and the frustration it’s caused. While we regret that the reset only provided a temporary fix, we’d still like to help. Even beyond the warranty, we may be able to offer service options or solutions that could make things right. If you're open to it, we’d appreciate the chance to take another look at your case.
Please feel free to send us your product details or case number, and we’ll do our best to assist you further.

Not Great
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For Bose I expect much better. The quality when trying to talk on the phone is terrible. Cuts in and out and sounds very far away for the person on the other end. Would not recommend at all and would return if I could.

Posted .Hello Melissa! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We truly appreciate you sharing your feedback about the call quality, especially the microphones cutting in and out and sounding far away to the person on the other end. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds include two microphones in each earbud, and proper positioning plays a big role in how well they pick up your voice. If the microphones are blocked by hair, headwear, or if the earbuds aren’t clipped on securely, callers may hear you as distant or inconsistent.
Please ensure the microphones are unobstructed and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear, this can noticeably improve clarity during phone calls.

Posted .Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds.
Please note that they don't have noise cancellation due to their form factor, being open earbuds. You will then be able to hear your surroundings, as well as your music.
Best regards,
