Not good for noisy places
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They don't perform well on noisy places. Volume is not high enough to clearly hear. Lost my money :(

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you're not completely happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds! Due to their open-ear design, a particularly noisy background can present issues. For this, I would recommend one of our earbud solutions that sits directly in the ear canal. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
- Pros mentioned:Comfort
Only one bud works on a brand new unit.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reddit reviews said buds had software issues with only one bud working. I bought anyway because of comfort and open air design…as I go trail running a lot. One bud stopped working right after I took a phone call using the buds. Reset did nothing.

Not good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $300 these are by far the worst headphones I have used. If they were $50, different story. The idea of them is really cool but the quality is so bad. Using these headphones I felt like I was transported to 2004 with the worst sound quality imaginable. Do not buy these headphones if you like to be fully immersed in music while working out. Get you some IEM's or ever Apple Airpods for around the same price. Oh, and these headphone cannot handle rock music at all. So if that's your favorite genre of music to work out to, then dont buy these

Posted .We appreciate your honest feedback. Due to its open design, these earbuds do not feature any noise cancellation and provide a completely different experience than traditional earbuds. This model allows you to enjoy your favorite media while remaining alert to the surrounding world. We understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to listening to music, and we appreciate you trying the Open Earbuds. We’d be happy to explore any settings or adjustments that might improve your experience.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like the previous reviews, the call quality is complete trash! For headphones that are $300 they should sound like it. Bose really dropped the ball.

Just my opinion, complete garbage
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the bose quiet comfort ultra buds that go in your ear, personally, the main focus I'm looking for when i purchase any earbuds is how well the noise cancelation quality is. Not only does it not have noise cancelation, these feel like they're gonna fall off your ear when you're walking. I bought these, walked out to my car, popped them in to check them out and not even 5 minutes later, walked back in to return them. I wish i could give a half star
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Thanks for your review. Due to their open-ear design, the Ultra Open Earbuds are not advertised as having noise cancellation. Their wrap-around grip is feather-light, but it is also designed to be secure, ensuring that your Ultra Open Earbuds won't fall off. If you're looking for a pair of earbuds with noise cancelling and a design that fits directly in the ear, I would recommend trying the new QuietComfort Earbuds. Let us know if you have any questions about these! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
No “find my bud” option
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can’t believe that I spent $300 for these today and they no longer have the “find my bud” option. The old ones had the option to find a lost ear bud….very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Hi Misty, thanks for your review! Like most Bose earbuds, the Ultra Open Earbuds don't feature a "find my bud" feature. However, thanks to their wrap-around design, the Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to stay put, so you won't have to worry about losing one. You may even forget that you're wearing them after a while. I hope this information helps! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Not my cup of tea
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My honest opinion? I think they are definitely OVER priced! And are booty...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Horrible! Probably the worst
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The clip design on these earbuds is horrendous. Couldn’t get the inner piece to sit comfortably in my ears. Struggled to get the correct fit for two days and because of the horrible fit, the sound and volume quality was also horrible. Needless to say, I returned them and will unlikely purchase any more ear buds from Bose.

Posted .Hi there, I'm sorry to hear that you're not happy with the Ultra Open Earbuds' look and feel. The earbuds are designed to grip the user's ears lightly but firmly, so that the buds will sit correctly and supply rich-quality audio. It is true that fit and comfort are subjective to each customer, however we would always recommend that each customer try the earbuds and see how they get on. If issues occur, our support team will always be happy to assist: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

$300 for this, are you kidding me?
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very poor sound Absolutely no bass. They clip onto your ear lobe area and don't fit that great. Returning mine ASAP. Bluetooth drops out when there's movement.

Posted .I’m very sorry to hear you’re not happy with the sound and fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds. It’s always a good idea to calibrate the earbuds via the Immersive Audio section of the Bose Music app. You can also experiment with the Immersive Audio modes, and adjust the EQ settings in the app, to find a sound and bass response that’s right for you.
Our customer support team can also advise when it comes to finding a good, comfortable fit, and preventing any Bluetooth issues you may have experienced. Please reach out to your local support team, who will be happy to help!

Not great
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needs konger battery life for the price-point it is given so please reconsider
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Hello,
In stereo mode, the earbud batteries will provide up to 7.5 hours of play time or 48 hours of standby time (no audio playing). For all-day wear that involves a mix of audio listening and standby, the battery life will vary depending on the proportion of each. For example, 5 hours of audio would leave 10 hours of standby life remaining. And if the battery does run out, a quick 10-minute charge in the case will add up to 2 hours of play time.
