Not what I expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If they had been $100 they would have been okay but for $300 I did not like the experience the sound quality was not there they weren't that comfortable and on top of it if you had enough outdoor noise they were almost useless I'll stick to one ear bud in an ear instead

Not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not recommended, i bought these as a gift for my brother and while testing them he turned some music on low and i could hear it sitting 5 feet away from him. I get these are better for your ears but you dont want others hearing your conversation or music
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Ultra Open Earbuds, given that you can hear some of your brother's music. The Ultra Open Earbuds feature Bose's OpenAudio technology, which directs rich, deep audio into the customer's ear canal while minimizing sound spillage in other directions. In most environments and at most listening levels, people around the user won’t hear anything. In a very quiet environment, others may hear that something is playing, but they shouldn't be able to hear any detail unless they get up close. If you suspect your brother's earbuds might be spilling too much sound, please contact our support team for further assistance: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality wasnt impressive. People could hear what i was listening to.. The mic was actually awful! Could not hear me on calls what so ever. For the cost of these I was not going to let these key factors not be mind blowing. Cute concept but needs improvements. Returned.

Posted .Hi DurreS, thank you for sharing your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can greatly improve call quality. Blocked microphones may cause poor sound quality for the listener on the other end of the call. Please ensure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear. We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing microphone issues, and we’d love to help you resolve this so you can enjoy an improved listening experience.
