    Great ear buds

    The ear bud quality is great. Everyone I’ve spoken to on the phone has said they can hear me clearly. They don’t feel uncomfortable even when I’m wearing them all day for an 8+ hour shift. Battery life on the ear buds lasts the whole shift. The charging case itself, I’ve gone two days without charging it and it still charges my headphones. So far so good! Also if you buy it don’t forget to register the product on Bose’s website for the warranty/upgrades in the future.

    Favorite open-ear earbuds

    These Bose are my absolute favorite open ear earbuds. They are super comfortable, have great sound quality, and are stable on my ears even while running. They don’t interfere with sunglasses. They are good enough to use on an airplane. However, they are expensive and the battery life is nowhere near that of others.

    Great sound, not directly in the ear, but does hurt my ear where’s wraps around after a while. I wear one at a time so I switch them out.

    I'll keep it simple. For non-active situations these are some of the best earbuds you can get. They sound stunning. But if you do any movement walking level or above, they constantly disconnect. It's actually comical how much they disconnect.

    The music is fire with these open ear buds and you can hear ur surroundings when the musics 75% w quality of the music . Phone calls arent as good when youre talking in the mic when its windy. In a quiet setting its clear from what ive heard from others when talking on the phone. I love how easy to clean these are too!

    I have been waiting for such design for awhile from Bose and finally it's here. Typical bose, it sounds clear, and loud enough for my workout. It felt comfortable. I can now pull my hoodie up and down without dropping them. The immersive aspect is quite cool. And don't expect too much on the bass with this design. I don't know how long I can get with the battery yet.

    I bought these for my husband. He seems to love them and I got to try them out. I love how clear the sound is and the bass is nice. I'm partial to noise-canceling earbuds, so I cannot give full remarks. The quality of the protect is top-notch, but I still prefer my airpods.

    Not For Gym Use

    Would not recommend for use in a gym. Maybe it's my own fault...for medical reasons, not supposed to insert anything into my ear canal. know they're not built for volume, but with the ambient noise/music in a gym atmosphere, they are just way too quiet. It's a struggle to even listen to a podcast. The connectivity is also surprisingly bad. The left earbud cuts out somewhat frequently, and if you cover your ear for any reason (like wiping sweat), the sound is interrupted...very strange.

    • Brand response from Bose Support
      Posted .

      Hello Mitch! We’re sorry to hear that the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds haven’t fully met your expectations. The Ultra Open Earbuds were designed with an innovative open‑ear fit to keep your ears open to the world around you while OpenAudio technology delivers rich, private sound. Because of this open design, the volume experience is different from our other earbuds, such as the QuietComfort series, which are built for immersive listening.

      Regarding the connectivity issue, Bluetooth range is typically about 33 ft (10 m), but this can be reduced by obstacles such as walls, doors, pockets, or even nearby Bluetooth devices. If the earbuds and your phone are farther apart or blocked, interruptions may occur. We recommend keeping the device and earbuds closer together to help improve stability.

      For more detailed steps, you can check the full troubleshooting guide through this link : https://bose.life/40lz6Y9 This will walk you through solutions that may help resolve the issues you’re experiencing with your Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re here to support you and value your feedback, it helps us continue improving our products. If the issue continues, our support team is happy to help: https://bose.life/contactus

      We hope these steps help you enjoy your earbuds as intended.

    These are the nest earbuds I have ever had. The sound is great. The microphone works amazing. They block out all the back noise when I am talking on the phone. They are not noise cancelling, just in case you were wondering (because of the way they are made). The only downside, the battery has a shorter life span than my other bose earbuds. I can wear these all day and they dont hurt my ear at all.

    I love the sound quality. They’re easy to slip on without the discomfort of most earpieces going into the ear canal. I brought the Bose charging case which is small and convient to carry around and keep your headphones charged the whole day.
