      Thanks for your review Jorge. Please note that the Ultra Open Earbuds don't feature noise cancelling, due to their open-ear design. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

      Hi Anusha, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment! Due to their open-ear design, the Ultra Open Earbuds don't have noise cancelling and are not advertised as such. Best regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

      Sorry to hear you couldn't find a good fit with your Ultra Open Earbuds, Nasir! The earbuds are designed to fit most customers securely, thus enabling the sound to enter your ears directly. I also recommend experimenting with the different Immersive Audio and Equalizer settings in the Bose app, to help find a sound you really like. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

      I'm sorry to hear the Ultra Open Earbuds don't fit you so well. The earbuds are designed to fit a wide range of ears; however, it is true that every customer's fit is different. As for sound, when worn correctly and comfortably, the earbuds' OpenAudio technology will direct rich, yet private sound into your ears.

      Hello, thanks for your feedback. The Ultra Open earbuds do not contain noise cancellation technology, we'd suggest looking at our QuietComfort range of products if this is a feature that is important to you. As for the microphone concerns, take a look at our troubleshooting guide here - https://bit.ly/3ww4pUo

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

    The sound is great especially for me who prefers to listen to music and also stay aware of my surroundings. I really appreciate the uniqueness of the design. When I’m on the phone it’s hard for family/friends to hear me sometimes especially if theres noise being made around me though that’s one thing that for sure needs to be improved. Otherwise, its nice to have. The battery life is great on them as well.

      Hello,

      Thank you for writing this review about the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.

      I am glad to hear that you are happy of the sound quality and the design of these buds.
      If you experience any issue during calls, please check the following:
      - Make sure the microphone holes on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked, as it can causes poor sound quality for a listener on the other end of the call.
      - Be sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned properly on each ear.

      If you need any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our support team: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US

      Best regards,
      Lau - Bose Customer Support bose

    This review is for the new Bose Open Earbuds Ultras. And just like all my other Bose devices these just feel like high end earbuds. I’ve only had them a few days but you can tell from the build quality they were made to last. They have very good sound quality. But the bass just isn’t the same as in ear earbuds or over the ear headphones. They use the same easy to use app as my other Bose headphones, so if you already have Bose stuff you don’t need a new app. So far the battery life has been great. I haven’t had to charge the case once yet. Using them a few hours each day and then keeping them in the case they have stayed charged the whole time I’ve had them. The new fit did take me a little while to get use to. But on the flip side you can hear what’s going on around you very well. So when out running/biking I can hear cars or trucks coming up from behind me. As to where I can’t at all with my other in ear earbuds. Also phone calls went very good. No one I talked with could tell I wasn’t just using my phones mic and speakers. All in all if you’re in the market for a new set of ear buds you should give these Bose open earbuds a try.
