Great concept design
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great concept design was trying to replace my AirPods Pro because I kept on falling out but after listening sound quality is not good. I was expecting something better from Bose I’m actually returning them because it’s not worth the $300 price tag.

Posted .Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
Their design is different from any other Bose earbuds, so we understand if you are not used to such product. They will not block out noises like any other earbuds would as they don't sit in your ears and don't have noise cancellation, however the Bose OpenAudio as well as the Immersive modes and how they will fit comfortably in your ears, are great technologies that offer low leakage, spatial audio so you can wear these buds all day to enjoy your music, and still be aware of what's happening around you.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US Best regards, Lau - Bose Customer Support

Bose Should Be Embarrassed By These....
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really Bose?... I bought these on sale for $230 and wanted to return them after 5 minutes of use. Music quality is okay and call quality is awful. DO NOT buy these unless you'll be in a perfectly quite environment the entire time of use. There are several options that are MUCH BETTER than Bose for half the cost. Go look at Shokz and JBL, you'll thank me. Will be returning for a refund.

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you decided to return your Ultra Open Earbuds, though you were happy with their music reproduction performance. If you're having trouble hearing or being heard on calls, firstly make sure that your earbuds are using the latest firmware; Bose released firmware version 4.0.22 to improve the customer's experience on calls. If that doesn't help, I'd also make sure you're wearing your earbuds optimally, see here: https://support.bose.com/s/article/ult-headphoneopn-wearing-and-adjusting-your-earbuds---ka08c000001brkkaai?language=en_US. I hope these tips are useful, and please don't hesitate to contact your local support team for any other troubleshooting assistance. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Broken after 7 months with no real support options
|Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right one stopped working after seven months. Referred to manufacture as I had not purchased plan. Bose offered me $100 off a different pair that according to BOSE would ship four weeks after they received the return. They're nice, but hope you don't have any issues as it seems the warranty is not being honored.
