Do not use these for phone conversatikns
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to be able to use as blue tooth while wearing my hearing aids, but, unfortunately the microphones on these are awful, and people i was trying to talk to on the phone couldn’t hear me. By the time I gave up on them, it was too late to return them, so I’m just out $300, and the earbuds are in the trash

Not what I expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If they had been $100 they would have been okay but for $300 I did not like the experience the sound quality was not there they weren't that comfortable and on top of it if you had enough outdoor noise they were almost useless I'll stick to one ear bud in an ear instead

Bad sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.for these beings Bose. I did not like the sound quality. I feel they could have made this much better. I do like the way it fits and does not move from my ear, But I had to return these because I do not compare to an Airpod.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are not very good, especially when I talk to people. They hurt your ears after some time, when I take them off, my ears are red. I’m very disappointed in the quality. This is my first time being disappointed by the product Bose. Most all my stuff is Bose, so I know what I’m saying is true

I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds. Due to their unique open design, they do not have noise cancellation but still offer spatial audio.

Not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not recommended, i bought these as a gift for my brother and while testing them he turned some music on low and i could hear it sitting 5 feet away from him. I get these are better for your ears but you dont want others hearing your conversation or music
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Ultra Open Earbuds, given that you can hear some of your brother's music. The Ultra Open Earbuds feature Bose's OpenAudio technology, which directs rich, deep audio into the customer's ear canal while minimizing sound spillage in other directions. In most environments and at most listening levels, people around the user won’t hear anything. In a very quiet environment, others may hear that something is playing, but they shouldn't be able to hear any detail unless they get up close. If you suspect your brother's earbuds might be spilling too much sound, please contact our support team for further assistance: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Too Many Issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The concept is great, however they were constantly disconnecting to where you need the case to do a “hard reset” to get them to connect again. I couldn’t even get through 30 minutes without them messing up like that. I had to return them. Definitely not worth the frustration. It’s a known issue…which I didn’t know before I purchased.

Posted .Hi there, we appreciate your valuable feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to offer a great mix of comfort, sound quality, and innovative features. With multipoint connectivity, you can seamlessly connect to up to two devices via Bluetooth.
That said, Bluetooth disconnections can occasionally occur due to factors like signal interference, the distance between the earbuds and the connected device, or nearby electronics. These can impact performance depending on the environment.
If you’re open to giving them another shot or exploring other models, feel free to reach out, we’d be more than happy to help you find the perfect match for your needs.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I feel this is mainly for joggers and people outdoors that need to pay attention to their surroundings. Not design to talk to people on the phone because it has the worst ever microphone quality like way below -3 star.

Beautiful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Are these best open-ear in This moment, excellent’
I would recommend this to a friendNothing I liked about them.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sit awkwardly on your ears. No amount of adjusting helped. This causes the sound to not properly get to your ear. The audio quality was that of something far cheaper. I usually love Bose products but they have seemed to gradually go down in quality with each new item.
