Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Open Earbuds for their excellent sound quality, comfortable fit, and long battery life. The open-ear design is also a plus, allowing users to hear their surroundings. However, some customers have experienced connectivity issues and feel the volume could be louder.

    If you don’t mind the lack of noise canceling then it is great to use. Quality sound and you can still hear people.

    I bought these because I wanted something different than Airpods. The sound is great, should be a little louder but overall great. The con of this, making and receiving a call is terrible! Breaks up and the mic is extremely bad! People can barely hear me without me having to yell like im crazy. Bose dropped the ball on the Mic on these. R&D would’ve helped this product in various environments. Returning them back today. Hopefully the next wave is better and ill try again.

    Great headphones fit is the most comfortable and secure I’ve felt. Downside is the speaker for the headphones is not good and does not pick up my voice. If they improved on that then this would be the best headphones out in my opinion.

    Got these as gifts for family members who like to go on outdoor walks. The ability for the ear buds to not actively block outside noise is great. The only minir annoyance is thst the battery level between L and R is different. One will go to 90% before the other, but ultimately does not impact performance. Would recommend!

      Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this isn’t the outcome we want for our customers, as our goal is for you to be fully satisfied with our products.

      For the microphone concerns, positioning can affect performance, if the earbuds aren’t seated properly, it may impact how clearly your voice is picked up. Please check this guide: https://bose.life/3Jlrhg5

    Game changer in open air conduction earbuds

    I decided for this open earbuds after trying the alternatives in the shop by Shokz. I am a great fan of this kind of earbuds and I was aware of their limitations, open air or bone conduction. I was not convinced by the sound of the new open air Shokz, so I decided to give a try to the Bose, and my first impression was great. I am delighted with the sound and experience. It is really a game changer, and the recent firmware updates have improved a lot the sound and connection. Although I agree that the price is high, the results deserve the purchase.

    They were ok. Sounded great, but it definitely takes some getting use to, and practice, putting on. The sound quality also depends on how you put them in your ear. It's takes a minute to find the right spot.

      I'm glad you like the sound of the Ultra Open Earbuds! It's true that a product with an initially unfamiliar design will take a little getting used to; however, if worn correctly, the Ultra Open Earbuds will supply rich, satisfying audio and a secure, yet feather-light grip.

    These are just what I needed for my oddly shaped ear holes. Lol. They stay on my ears at the gym and working on equipment, which I do for a living.
