    Amazing when listening to music, also great when listening to audiobooks or anything like that!!!! But as far as making a phone call there is some work to be done! While talking on the phone I found myself repeating myself as well as asking the person on the other line to repeat themselves. The design, the case, charge life all get two thumbs up. Only other thing is the ability to charge wireless will cost you additional and it only available thru the Bose website. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a wireless headphone to talk on the phone on.

    Very stylish, like the color options, has good audio, but i think im the type of person that prefers very rich bass and overall very loud music IN my ear. But definitely cool if you’re genuinely looking for something to use that sounds well with that open ear feature so you can be aware of your surroundings.

    Not the Bose I Remember—Returned With Regret

    The Bose Ultra Open Ear wireless earbuds just didn’t hit the mark for me—especially when it came to sound quality. I wanted immersive, enjoyable audio, but what I got felt flat and underwhelming for something carrying the Bose name. That said, my biggest issue isn’t exclusive to this model. It’s something I’ve noticed with multiple recent Bose Bluetooth headphones: the call performance has taken a serious hit across the board. The active noise cancellation (ANC), or maybe whatever processing is layered with it, seems to interfere with voice clarity. My voice is often transmitted lower than the background noise—leaving the person on the other end hearing more of my environment than me. With the Ultra Open Ear specifically, my wife and kids frequently told me I sounded like I was in a tunnel, or they’d hear their own voices echo back during calls. This happened whether I was moving in a car or even sitting stationary in my office. The clarity just wasn’t there, and it made hands-free calls frustrating instead of convenient. Bose still delivers on build quality and aesthetics, but they’ve drifted from the acoustic precision and reliability that made them a leader. It feels like the brand is leaning too much on its legacy—and less on making sure every new product is actually worthy of that legacy. I returned these, and I hope Bose takes feedback like this seriously.

    These open buds are exactly what i was looking for. Sound is great (no ANC by design), fit is great, battery life is more than enough. I use them at work which they're fantastic for. I can listen to music and still here everything going on around me. Pay a bit for the name but I'm ok with that

    Recently bought the Bose ultra open ear..just say, they have been a delightful addition to my daily routine! As a music lover and frequent podcast listener, I had high hopes for these earphones, and they certainly did not disappoint. Earbuds are a fantastic investment for anyone seeking high-quality sound, comfort, and convenience. The minor drawback I found was that the touch controls can be a bit sensitive at times, leading to accidental pauses or skips, but it’s a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar product. If you’re in the market for reliable and stylish wireless earphones, I highly recommend giving these a try!

    Does exactly what they're meant to do. Provide good sound, all day comfort and leave you open to natural ambient sounds. Great for outdoor workouts, running, biking, etc. Also nice for just walking around the house and maintaining natural spacial awareness.

    A different take on Bluetooth. These can sit on my ears all day without causing any discomfort or pain. The sound for call audio is great and noise cancellation works well. 11/10 would recommend to someone not wanting in ear buds for Bluetooth.

    I was super excited when bose dropped out the new of these new outwear earbuds. Bought it right away.TBH i am not happy with it. Bose outwear neckband 5/5 got discontinued . Sound quality 3 doesn't sound like bose headphones or earbuds. Max volume is not enough. I can hardly listen to songs in crowded places. If ya calling someone they cant hear your voice sometimes you have to goto speaker mode. Tbh i am dissappointed i mean bose products are alway 5 out 5 but not this one and definitely not worth the money at all. Surely these looks different and many people's wpuld gona give it a try. Comfort is 5 out 5 Sound is 2.5 out of 5 .

      Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.

      By design, the open earbuds don’t block out the world or have noise canceling. Your experience will be different from what you are used to with in-ear earbuds that offer noise cancellation. The Ultra Open Earbuds do have an automatic volume control feature, accessible in the Bose Music app, that helps you hear your music evenly as your environment changes from quiet to loud and back.

      If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team: https://bose.life/contact

      Best regards,
      Lau - Bose Customer Support bose

    For the first month I swore by them. Most comfortable ear buds I’ve ever worn. Great battery life and Perfect for cycling and day to day wear. So comfortable I almost got in the shower with them on because I forgot I had them on. Only down fall and I’ve experienced this with other Bose earbuds they just don’t stand the test of time and with these it was a very short time. After 2 months the left earbud went out and would work every so often to where I would just wear the right earbuds and leave the left in the case just because I wanted to use these earbuds so bad. I eventually returned them and went back to wear AirPods. Until next time Bose :(

    These fatigued my ears a bit more than the Huawei Free Clips. The Bose cost more, even after importing the Huawei clips into the U.S., but the Bose don't sound much better. Huawei free clips have better volume and are much better on calls. The Bose have the upside off an app that works by default in the USA. For the Huawei clips there was a lot of roundabout work that was needed to get their app to work inside the US. But they are hands dowb the better design for comfort and sound.
