    Love how I do not have to take out my Earphones or use transparency mode which decreased my battery consumption on my other buds. so these are amazing and hardly notice they are on.

      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

      Hi there, thank you for your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed with an open‑ear fit so you can stay aware of your surroundings, and each earbud includes two microphones for clear calls. Proper wearing of the earbuds is very important, please ensure that the microphone openings on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked. Blocked microphones can result in poor sound quality for the person on the other end of the call.

      We’re sorry to hear that you’ve already returned it, but if you still need assistance, here’s a helpful guide: https://bose.life/49cHka5

    Too Many Issues

    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.

      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.

    These headphones are amazing for music listening. But these are probably the worst head phones i have owned to talk with. I had them replaced by bose but the new ones had the exact same issue. The person on the other end was barely able to hear me.

    These earbuds are pure @$$. I could stand the fact that they don’t have noise cancellation because of the design. I got these solely because I loved how they looked. What I can’t abide is how they constantly unpair from my devices and how trash they are for phone calls (no one can hear me properly on this). Even with the discounts they have on these frequently, it’s still a questionable investment.

      Hi Tylor, I'm very sorry to hear your Ultra Open Earbuds are unpairing from your devices! If this is happening, try rebooting your mobile device, which can resolve such issues. If people are having trouble hearing you on calls as well, make sure you're on the latest firmware; version 4.0.22 was introduced to improve the customer's experience on calls. If these steps don't help, remember our support team will always be on hand to help you: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.
