    For the price it should be not a struggle to switch between Bluetooth devices. I’m beyond frustrated and I e had these less than 3 days. I want to say it’s my weeks but these ear buds do not switch from my work computer to iPhone seamlessly. You have to go through an app and even then it doesn’t recognize my computer.

      Thanks for your review! The Ultra Open Earbuds don't support multi-point, but you can switch between two previously connected devices by setting a "Switch Devices" shortcut in the Bose app. If any Bluetooth recognition issues persist, please contact our support team for help: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    Does not allow sound in unless the volume is considerably low. Sound is mediocre at best. And if you want to listen loudly you cannot.

      Hi there! Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback, we’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the earbuds while listening to music. The Open Earbuds are designed to keep you connected to your surroundings, so they don’t include noise cancellation or block out external sounds. This allows you to enjoy your music while staying aware of what’s happening around you.
      That said, they do feature automatic volume control, which you can enable through the Bose app. This smart feature adjusts your music volume based on changes in your environment, helping you maintain a consistent listening experience whether things get quiet or loud. Hope this helps! Kurt - Bose Customer Support bose

    I am a long time Bose fan, and thought these Open Ear earbuds would be great for walking/exercise. While they were very light weight and comfortable. I could never find a position that provided even "decent" sound quality or volume. I returned them.

      Hi William, happy to hear you're a long-time fan of our products! Although you enjoyed the comfort and feather-light grip of your Ultra Open Earbuds, I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to find the sound and volume you were looking for. While an open-ear design may not be as loud as a closed-ear design, you can try resetting your earbuds, as shown here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001fddgAAA&language=en_US.

    An Interesting Piece of Garbage

    Just like any TWS earbuds Bose been made in recent years, it's an interesting piece of industrial garbage. It's perfect set of sports earbuds with a perfect usage scenario when you sitting indoor under a quite atmosphere. Ah, no need to mention the small issues like no ANC, volume extremely low and not for people with big ears, those are harmless small problems that not worth mention.

      Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback. By design, Ultra Open earbuds do not block out the world or have noise cancellation. However, they do feature an automatic volume control feature which will help you hear music evenly as your environment changes around you. In addition, proprietary Bose OpenAudio technology allows the earbuds to play rich, immersive audio privately. The buds are designed to fit all; the light-as-air flex arm provides enough grip to keep the buds secure on any size ear. They're even designed to attach to a part of the ear that does not interfere with most glasses, hats, and piercings!

    Incredible sound, great hardware, but not for me

    The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are clearly an innovative new design from Bose. I can see this design's appeal for many people, but it's not for me. The earbuds come in a nice, compact case that boasts nearly 20hrs of charge time. The earbuds themselves will last about 4 hours with immersive audio on and about 6 hours with it off. I'm impressed with how the earbuds are placed in the charging case. Since these earbuds are flexible and longer shaped when stretched out, I was concerned I'd have to fiddle with putting them back in the case, but they slip in effortlessly and are held in place by strong magnets. There is also a USB-A to USB-C cable included in the box. I must say that the immersive audio versus regular stereo audio is pretty special. The immersive audio has a more concert/stadium like sound to it, despite being an open ear design. I would say that the sound quality is the best of any earbuds I have tried. Downloading and connecting the earbuds via the Bose app was effortless and worked first time. Bose achieved a great quality sound while still being truly open. In other words, while the music quality is exceptional, I could also hear everything going on around me as if the earbuds weren't even there. They truly are open air. However, these aren't for me. Frankly, it took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to put them in my ear. They do feel comfortable and once they are on you don't feel them hardly at all, but every time I try to put them on I end up having to fiddle around until I get it right. I also don't like the fact that others around me can hear the audio if in a quiet space. If there's even just a little bit of background noise I'm sure it won't be an issue, but in a very quiet area others will hear it if they are nearby.
