Customer Ratings & Reviews

These new Bose open ear buds are pretty awesome. The only issue I've had is the first pair I bought had some static issues randomly. I meant to take them back for an exchange right away but thought maybe I'd wait for a firmware update. Once there was an available update, I installed it and it seemed to fix the issue. However, shortly after the update the right bud stopped charging and connecting. I exchanged for a new pair and have had zero issues thus far. The sound quality is absolutely incredible for being open-ear buds. They connect immediately and and are easy to pair. They charge to full fairly fast and seem to last for a few hours on a full charge. They take some time getting used to. At first they feel a little awkward to put them on but you get used to it pretty fast. I find that sometimes I forget they are even on. With that said, sometimes, after several hours of wearing them, they can feel like they are pinching your ears but a slight adjustment fixes it quickly. Overall I'm quite happy with them. On a side note, my wife bought a pair of the white/silver model and has had zero issues with hers. She uses hers with her Mac and iPhone and I use mine with an Android phone and an LG TV.

I like it. It serves the purpose of enjoying music while still being aware of the surroundings. It's like the old Bose Soundwear around the neck, but lighter, more comfortable, and fits in the pocket. And it looks cool! :) One star off (debating two) because I'm disappointed it doesn't support wireless charging like my QuietComfort Earbuds. For the price, you would expect that feature, which is available to most other products nowadays. :(

I’ve been using the Bose Ultra Open-ear True Wireless Earbuds for a while now, and I absolutely love their innovative design and sound quality. The open-ear concept is fantastic—it lets me enjoy music while staying aware of my surroundings, which is perfect for outdoor activities or commuting. The sound is clear, balanced, and immersive, making every listening experience enjoyable. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the charging case. One of the charging pins got stuck, and now I can’t charge the earbuds properly. This has been frustrating, especially considering the premium price of the product. While the earbuds themselves are excellent, I hope Bose addresses this design flaw in future models. Overall, I’d recommend these earbuds for their unique features and sound quality, but be aware of potential issues with the charging case.

These sound great and are comfortable to wear all day. Also I can just pause to talk to someone and not have to take them out which is a huge plus! Also for an added bonus, after a software update they are able to do Multipoint connection!

They are very lightweight and comfortable. Sound is amazing, as all bose sound should be. However, when you make a call, the person you call can barely hear you. I've adjusted every type of setting to try to make it clearer on the other end. Nothing works. Also, they pick up all of the outside noise from the person calling with these as well. I purchased two sets, one for me and for my husband. When wearing them and calling each other, we could barely hear each other, but I could hear everything around him. Sadly will be returning and trying something different. They are great, if all you use them for is listening to music. Not worth $300 to only listen to music.

I love the head phones for comfort and the sound quality is AMAZING! The ONLY down fall I think is the quality of a phone calls it could definitely be better!

I absolutely love these earbuds! If you’re looking for something that will add a soundtrack to your daily life, this is it. You’ll still be able to hear everything around you while enjoying your favorite tunes. Perfect for hiking, biking, walking, onewheel, shopping, and just going through your daily activities. If you’re looking for something with noise canceling, this is not a product you should be looking at as it’s the complete opposite. My only complaints are the microphone is completely awful, in fact it’s unacceptably awful. Also, the charging case isn’t able to be charged wirelessly without a $49 additional purchase of a case protector to go over top. At this price point it should’ve come with a wireless charging case and a way better microphone.

Love them! Barely feel them on, in fact, I forget half the time that I'm even wearing them. Sound/bass is amazing for the fact that its not "inside" your ear and that I don't have to take them out to hear what's going on around me or the person I'm talking to. very gentle on my ear and stays on while running or exercising. very happy.

I got these about 2 weeks back, and I went back to the store to return them 3 times because they were hurting my ears. Every time I went back, I would try different brands and just end up keeping them. Some won’t stay on your ears, others won’t sound as good. So I ended up keeping them and I am so glad that I did! I think they were just new, so they had to loosen up a little, because after using them for a while I can’t even feel them on my ears anymore. I am extremely happy and so glad that I kept them! Wonderful sound, great quality, and will never come off my ears when I run!!!

Ever since i purchased these bose ultra open air earbuds they have been everything i was looking for in a pair of daily driver earbuds and more, i want looking for anything noise canceling because I have kids and also my job for working in a steel mill i need to be very aware of my surroundings, but at the same time i need to stay connected to my phone because my company uses Microsoft teams to chat and message with so these make everything convenient for me because i Wear a hardhat and safety glasses and these do not get in the way of either piece of equipment i Wear and are very very comfortable for all day and night use, the volume on these are loud enough and the call quality is good enough, we'll done Bose.

These earphone are good looking and comfortable. For music is good. However, when you talk on the phone, the sound quality is poor. You sound like your far away or under water. After giving it 2 chances, I decided to not get another pair. I thought the first ones were defective, but the second pair were the same. Also, I often had difficulties connecting the to my phone or they would disconnect.

Great even with a daith ear piercing. Great quality and sound. Does not fall off like other traditional ear pods. I use it to work out with.

The types of ways you can listen to audio is vast & many. Headphones, earbuds, & open ear buds all have a common goal: deliver audio. Everything else is a bonus that works or a flawed feature that needs a bit more time in the oven. Overall I am impressed with the execution of these open earbuds. I feel, after reading a few reviews, it’s being compared unfairly to tws earbuds that sit in your ear canal. Owning Bose Tenors, Sony LinkBuds, Shokz OpenRun Pro, & Shokz OpenFit; these Ultra Open Earbuds perform exceptionally. The way each company comes up with designs for their models never ceases to amaze me. It’s unique. These are secure once worn properly; shaking my head or jogging can did nothing to jar it loose. Sounds are just like my Ultra Earbuds & Ultra Headphones. Definitely Bose signature sound. The immersion mode somehow works in this open style. The app works seamlessly to tweak the EQ to your liking. Price is a talking point in what your expectations are for these style of earbuds; there are other options. If they go on sale, like the other Ultra options, give this a chance.

They feel comfortable and have excellent sound quality. They wrap securely around your ear without being too tight. You might need to adjust them every now and then to get the perfect angle into your ear canal.

Sound Quality-Audio is surprisingly clear and balanced for open-ear buds. Vocals and mid-range instruments shine, and while bass isn’t as deep or punchy as sealed earbuds, the overall sound remains enjoyable for casual listening. Just remember this trade-off is part of the open-ear philosophy — more awareness, less isolation. One of the best things about the Ultra Open design is how well you can hear your environment — a major safety plus for outdoor activities like jogging, cycling, or city walks. It’s a vibe that blends your music with the world around you. Battery life is solid — enough for most daily routines — and Bluetooth 5.3 keeps your connection stable, though some review notes say advanced features like multipoint pairing may roll out later.

For open ear style these are the best, good sound quality, has some bass and super comfortable. Wish it had a wireless charging case at this price point.

I choose Bose over anything and clearly I’m not going to lie and say that I’m not super obsessed with how much I love that I can jump around and run and my ear buds won’t fall off or not fit comfortably in my ear! It does what I need and that’s to stay put and let me work hands free!

These headphones are useful full full day use they are like having ambient music around you. If you are looking for something that will allow you to listen to things while partaking in your dayly takss i recommend. But this is not a purchase for audiophiles.

Comfortable and excellent sound!!! They are excellent for running, I have never liked traditional headphones. I like the open-ear ones!!!

I was a little concerned that these earbuds would not produce the sound quality sound Bose is famous for. My concern was proven wrong. Excellent comfort combined with excellent sound quality. The best of both worlds.
