    Over all really good headphones especially for listening to music I just have to get use to the functions… fits really comfortably in the ears. Only con is when talking on the phone in public it can be hard to hear.

    Gotta say, I didn’t buy these for the longest time due to the price. It was worth everything I paid. Finally wanted a set that I culd hear my surroundings if walking, running, etc. Sound is very good. Haven’t tried calls yet, so cannot comment on phone call connection or noise level. Would I buy again, yes, but I would have to save my pennies up first…lol!

    Exactly what i was looking for, sound is in par with what is to be expected from Bose. Battery exceeded my expectations. And you can use one or the other. They are is no master ear bud where both have to b out of the case for the other to work

    Great earbuds. The fit comfortably on my ears. They do not hurt my ears like the in the ear earbuds. I can wear them while working in the yard or excersing and they stay in place. I can hear sounds around me as well.

    These open ear headphones help your situational awareness. They sounds amazing but still allow you to hear what’s going on around you. Game changer for those who work out or run outside.

    I've used all kinds of different earbuds and the like over the last few years and I would have to say that I like these more than all the others. Pretty good battery life, the sound could be a tad better, and they are extremely comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.

    These are amazing headphones great sound and have been amazing! But my only problem with them and this is happening here as of late. They disconnect and don’t play any audio. I’ve unpaired them repaired them deleted it from my device and repaired it to the hose app and I have been met with this issue over and over again.

    The airbuds tend to pinch the ear after wearing for 30-60 minutes. Also have had a couple times where the right and left buds take awhile to sync to each other

      Hello, Scott. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, and we’re grateful that you chose the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve been experiencing discomfort after wearing them for 30–60 minutes.

      We highly recommend ensuring that the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are positioned correctly according to the proper wearing guidelines. Additionally, we suggest avoiding the use of other accessories, such as headbands or glasses resting on the same area, as these can create additional pressure and contribute to pinching.

      We also understand that you’ve experienced issues with your left and right earbuds taking time to sync. To help resolve this, please try the troubleshooting steps in the link below. These steps often address connectivity or syncing delays:

    Nice deal, and price, my issue that I had was I was unable to talk with the Open Ear due to my ears are too large for the ability to talk and be heard. They are great for listening to music.

    I absolutely love how these headphones feel and function. Wearing these during work is perfect becsue i can be fully aware of my surroundings without being hindered from hearing whats going on around me. Sometimes i forget they're there. They also are very snug and have never fallen off even after shaking my head trying to make them fall out. Cant expresss how disappointing the call quality is but if im just sitting still with no back ground noise theyre not bad for call quality. Me and my wife both have a pair and only use them to call eachother if we arent actively doing something(driving or ither things that have active background noise) with all that said theyre honestly great, reliable, and quality for music. We will be keeping ours but really wish the call quality was better. You can enable the "auto noise" setting to make it better but still not the best. There you have it folks. Theyre great lol just not best call quality.

      Thank you for sharing such a detailed and balanced review! It’s great to hear that the headphones excel in comfort, fit, and functionality, especially for work and music. However, it’s clear the call quality leaves something to be desired, particularly in environments with background noise. It’s helpful that you mentioned the "auto noise" setting as a partial workaround, though it’s unfortunate it doesn’t fully resolve the issue. Overall, it seems these headphones are fantastic for music and daily wear, but not ideal for calls in active settings. In order to address this, we would recommend reaching out to our support team.

      Kind Regards,

    The battery lasts for days. I can truly hear things around me when listening to music, books or on a call. When on a call, I'm told it is crystal clear. Can you mow the grass and listen to something? No, but that isnt the purpose of these. Can you go on a run and feel better about hearing your surroundings while enjoying music or a book, yes.

    Good Open Ear Sound with Bad Microphone Quality

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I liked the way they fit my ears, I could barely notice they were there after a while. The sound quality wasn't too bad for open earbuds. My main problem with them and the reason I returned them was the microphone quality during calls was terrible. I hope it is something they can fix in a firmware update, but none of the updates fixed it during the time I had them.

      Hi Loren, I'm sad to hear you returned the Ultra Open Earbuds, though you did like their fit and their sound performance. If people on calls are complaining about your mic quality, make sure the mic holes on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked. You can also try resetting the earbuds; our customer support team will help with that, and with any other related troubleshooting: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.
