    I’ve been really impressed with the Bose Open-Ear True Wireless Open Earbuds. They’re incredibly easy to use, with a straightforward setup and intuitive controls that make everyday use effortless. The sound quality is excellent for open-ear earbuds—clear, balanced, and enjoyable while still letting you stay aware of your surroundings. Comfort is where these truly shine. I can wear them for an entire work shift and often forget I even have them on. They never feel heavy or irritating, which makes them perfect for long hours of use. There are a couple of downsides to be aware of. Because of the open-ear design, people around you can hear what you’re listening to, especially in quieter environments. Also, while calls sound good on my end, people on the other side sometimes have a hard time hearing me clearly. Overall, these are fantastic open-ear earbuds for comfort, ease of use, and sound quality—just keep in mind the sound leakage and call microphone limitations.

    Previously had Pixel Buds A Series that were failing so I was looking for a replacement earbud that was *not* noise cancelling. I wear these while walking the dogs and I need to be aware of my surroundings but I love listening to audiobooks and podcasts. The design of these are so comfortable and the sound is incredible. Sale price made it worth it.

    The fit is perfect. These can be worn all day. The sound quality is just okay and callers often say they either can't hear me well or I sound muffled. If your using it to just listen to music or your favorite podcast, then this is your choice...just don't make any important phone calls.

    I was excited about these and wanted to try them out. Out of the box, i was impressed. the immersion mode was pretty neat, turn your head and the audio sounds like its coming from one direction. I loved that i could wear these and not miss anything going around me. Only thing i didn't like was the call quality. Keep in mind, these are not noise cancelling nor are they in your ear. When it came time to make a call, if you happened to be in an environment that has some background noise, it was kinda hard to hear the person on the other line. I found myself diverting the call back to my phone and putting my phone up to my ear (you can still do this without taking off the open earbuds). Not the end of the world but a minor inconvenience if you want to keep your hands free. Ended up returning but might repurchase if they fix the call audio and if they drop the hefty $300 price tag

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
