Bad background cancelation and poor quality on cal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am disappointed with the background noise during phone calls. People cannot hear me clearly due to the lack of noise cancellation. However, the battery life is quite impressive, and the earbuds fit securely in the ears without falling out. Additionally, Amazon offers cases for these earbuds. My only concern is the poor call quality.

Posted .Thanks for the review Mayra! I'm happy to hear you're impressed by the battery life and secure fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds. Please note that the noise cancelling only cancels background noises for you, not for people that you call. If the mics on your earbuds are picking up a lot of background noise, it may be necessary to move to a quieter environment. Alternatively, please give our support team a call, so we can take a closer look. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
Not good with Android
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned as they didn’t work with my TV. Box said made for MAC and IPhone; will work with Android. That's not totally true. It linked to my ZPhone but didn’t link to my TV. You need to identify this in the sales advert so I won't waste my time and money having to return them.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cool design, not remotely practical. It do not work for me at all.

I would recommend this to a friendCan be hard to hear it
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They super great for not being in your ear, if you like noise cancellation this product isn’t for you. I work on a tug so background noise can make it hard to hear while talking on the phone or listening to music. I have zero complaints for using around normal noise levels like shopping, or being around the house.
I would recommend this to a friendI need help!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 4th pair in 9 months and they still don't work, I've only been able to exchange them because I have a warranty this is the second time I've had to pay 66.00 for a two year warranty they have never worked unfortunately this time I have reached out to Bose to see if they can help me if not every 10 days I'll be exchanging them out My 1st purchase was 12/24 I was within my return policy so I returned them got busy and missed the return period so I was stuck with them or pay another 66.00 so I decided to wait hoping they may come out with a new generation of them then I would upgrade but after 8 mos with using them and no new generation insight I decided to pay the 2nd 66.00 to keep the warranty for another years hoping these would work but nope still sound muffled so l exchange them out for another new pair and they still don't work, so if Bose is not able to help me then Best Buy where I brought them from needs to figure something out or they will see me every 10 day returning these Bose ear buds if they dont work.

Posted .Hi there, thank you for your feedback! The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds offer a unique combination of innovative open-ear design, immersive audio, and all-day comfort. With their cuff-like fit, they allow you to stay aware of your surroundings while enjoying rich, private sound through our OpenAudio technology.
It’s quite rare for the same issue to persist across multiple brand-new replacements. In some cases, muffled sound can be caused by the audio source, such as the app being used or the connected device, rather than the earbuds themselves.
To help you further, here’s a helpful guide that walks through steps to troubleshoot low or muffled audio: http://bose.life/4mRCFOn

Loved the Style but made me feel dizzy and deaf :(
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would use them and afterwards or even during usung them i felt as though i was going deaf and i felt dizzy as if i was getting sick. Not sure why, but i would’ve absolutely kept them if they didnt make me feel off. Would not recommend if you have super good ears like myself. That frequency was way too much!

Posted .Hi Danasiah, thank you for sharing your feedback on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re glad to hear you appreciated aspects of the product, though we’re sorry to learn they didn’t feel comfortable for you. The earbuds are designed to let you enjoy your music while staying aware of your surroundings, keeping your ears open to hear the world around you while OpenAudio technology delivers rich, private sound.

Don't Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $300 these earbuds should be above Apple Airpod quality. The audio did not blow me out of the water. The call quality is terrible! I attempted to return them but was told I was past the window which might not even have been true. I'm so upset that I let an employee who most likely could have cared less tell me this was a good option. Do your own research.

Bose new Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily fits on the ear but voice quality was average. Not worth $300.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm glad you like the Ultra Open Earbuds' fit! On voice calls, you won't get quite the same quality as when you listen to music, due to the different Bluetooth profile (HSP/HFP). I hope this is useful! Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best purchase I could have made. I love these for when I’m at work or even just a run. I can still hear what’s going on what’s around me and still enjoy some good music.
