    Decent audio quality, unfortunate high noise floor

    They pair fine, have minor connectivity issues on Android (odd dropouts that require disconnect/reconnect), and sound reasonably good for what they are. They look much nicer than most other open-ear alternatives and don't suggest "Don't talk to me" which is nice. My one main gripe is that the noise floor is much higher than an average TWS. It's very noticeable in quiet environments and generally makes these feel cheaper than the price tag indicates. Would strongly recommend waiting for a firmware update that fixes this before opting for them.

      Hello Jack,

      It's wonderful that you've been enjoying the audio quality of the earbuds. For the connection dropouts I'd recommend double checking that you're not connecting to the Bluetooth LE connection of the earbuds for every day use.

      I understand you're hearing the noise-floor of the earbuds, it is odd that it would be audible even outside of quiet environments. It is not normally audible by everyone, and we would expect if it is heard to only be in a quiet environment with no music or audio playing. Please reach out to us https://bose.life/contact as we'd love to get your feedback from you.

    Little bit quiet if you have big ears but it holds good and great for runs and work since you’ll have open ears.

    open ear makes it easy for me to use its not hindering me from hearing people or anything around me but if I wore both then I get the noise cancellation that I want!

      Hi Tina, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you like the look and feel of the earbuds! By design, the Open Earbuds don’t block out the world or have noise cancelling, so you can enjoy your music while staying open to the sounds of the world around you. They do have an automatic volume control feature, available in the Bose app, that helps you hear your music evenly as your environment changes from quiet to loud and back. Hope this details helps!

    After purchasing Airpods and Beats wireless earbuds, these by far are the most comfortable! I could wear these for 2 hrs and feel no discomfort. I specifically purchased these to run and they do not move. I had trouble with other brands while exercising, they would fall out when I started to move or sweat. These earbuds are not noise cancelling, you are still able to hear background noise and enjoy your music. Perfect for work and exercising outside.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you find the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds comfortable to wear. Regarding the bass and volume, you can customize the audio experience by adjusting the equalizer settings in the Bose App to match your preferences. This allows you to fine-tune bass, treble, and overall sound for a richer listening experience. Sometimes, the positioning of the earbuds on your ears can also impact sound quality, so you might want to visit the link below for a guide on proper placement.

    If you're looking for earbuds that you can still hold conversation with people and you're not too worried about noise canceling. These are definitely the earbuds for you. For being an open earbud, they have really great sound and okay bass, but you should kinda expect that from open earbuds. I've had mine for a couple months and they still sound good, I would definitely recommend.

    These are by far the best earbuds on the market. They have a great design but it also has some top notch quality which is expected from bose. And they delivered. I love how well it pairs with a variety of devices. I have a simple phone called a light phone and it connects. I have an 8 year old garmin watch and it connects. I love that it proveds great sound while also allowing you to hear the elements around you.

    This are very confortable. Sound quality is good has some bass. Call quality is what killed it for me. The design is almost perfect just need to be thinner. The hwawei ones ultimately were better with the same design.

    I recently purchased these Bose open earbuds, and I am thrilled with my experience. Sound Quality: The sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. Whether I’m listening to my favorite tunes podcasts, or taking calls, the clarity and depth of sound are impressive. Comfort: These earbuds are so comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them even during extended use. Pairing these earbuds with my devices was a breeze. The Bluetooth connection is stable, and I appreciate the seamless transition between my phone and laptop.

    I was really surprised by these headphones. I'm a heavy music listener and over the years have had issues with earbuds irritating me. I recommend turning off the immersion feature, in my opinion, it alters the audio. Battery life is pretty good too!

    The Bose Ultra Open earbuds were really nice. They were comfortable and didn't hurt my ears at all. They pinch onto your ear, very lightly--barely noticable. Immersive mode was really cool too, especially in dynamic mode where it sounds like the music if playing inside your head. 8D and binaural music lovers with love this! However, I don't think they were $300 nice. They didn't sound any better they my Galaxy Buds Live which also don't go into your ear canal. They also didn't have wireless charging like my Galaxy Buds. If I am awake, I am listening to music and they don't have a great battery life for constant listeners. In a nutshell, the Bose buds are really great headphones if you don't mind the price. I just didn't LOVE them that much.

    Bose Ultra Open: Premium Sound, All-Day Comfort

    The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in White Smoke are a total game-changer. The clip-on design is so comfortable you’ll genuinely forget you’re wearing them, and the "White Smoke" finish looks more like a sleek accessory than tech gear. The sound is surprisingly rich for an open-ear design, and the spatial audio makes it feel like the music is floating around you. They are perfect for staying aware of your surroundings while enjoying premium sound.

    Look good and great ear buds for daily use, not so much for work environment. If ear plugs are worn no space for ear buds and if you can get them on with ear plugs they aren’t as effective.
