    I would turn them because they hurt my ears. If You push them in with your fingers the sound was louder.

    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.

      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 bose

    Could be an amazing product but definitely for specific users. Calls are so quiet and sound quality just isnt there for me. If you like this form factor i do recommend it. However, for my personal uses i was not impressed.

    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.

    The length of the ear pod to the under ear is too short. So I really could not get the sound I wanted into my ear.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. The unique open-ear design is intended to balance comfort and situational awareness, making them ideal for active lifestyles. However, we understand that earbud length and positioning can affect how sound is delivered, especially for users with different ear shapes.
      The earbuds are designed in a standard size meant to fit most ears comfortably, but individual fit can vary.

    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.

      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

      If you continue to experience issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help and want to ensure you get the best experience possible. You can reach us through this link: http://bose.life/globalsupport
