    They are not very loud in a loud environment but in quieter settings I absolutely love them. The call quality is lacking a little

    This is the worst pair of Bose I ever purchased. The volume on these is worse than a 15-dollar pair off amazon.

      Hi Ronnie, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment! Thanks to their OpenAudio technology, the Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to channel rich, high-quality volume into your ears, whilst keeping your ears open to the world around you. If you're having volume issues, make sure your connected mobile device is turned up all the way. Another thing to try is a quick reset of your earbuds, which is done as follows: https://support.bose.com/s/article/ult-headphoneopn-resetting-your-product---ka08c000001bufcaaa?isSessionCreated=true&language=en_US. I hope this information is useful; if the volume issues continue, your local support team will be happy to continue troubleshooting with you. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

      We're sorry to hear about the battery issue after just three months of use. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers. If you haven’t already, we recommend reaching out to Bose support, as your device may still be under warranty. You can reach out to us on our website here https://bose.life/globalcontact, or via any social media platform.

      Kind Regards,

    The volume needs to be more higher or can’t hear without pushing it into the ear lobe.

      I'm glad you like the Ultra Open Earbuds' fit! On voice calls, you won't get quite the same quality as when you listen to music, due to the different Bluetooth profile (HSP/HFP). I hope this is useful! Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

      Hello Yolanda, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Ultra Open Earbuds' bass performance! Don't forget that these earbuds come with an Equalizer built into the app. This allows you to fine-tune your sound, in order to achieve the bass, mid and treble output that you're looking for. To use the Equalizer, go to the Bose app, select your earbuds, then tap the "EQ" button in the lower-left corner. Or, within the "Sound" section of the Settings menu, select "Equalizer". I hope this information is useful! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    I really wanted to like them and keep them but returned it. My two cents. 1) It was not great for wearing longer times. Pain in the ear lopes. 2) Sound was audible to the persons nearby as a disturbing annoyance. I have the Bose frames that I use regularly, the sound from that was not nuisance to people around me.
