||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always had good experiences with Bose products and own quite a few, so my review of these earbuds could be really good. However, these have been on back order for the last month and I have not had a chance to even try them out. I am giving Bose a 5 star review based on my past experiences, but reserve the right to change my rating if and when I finally get them

I would recommend this to a friend Do not buy these Bose Open earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this Bose Open earbuds on Dec 15-2025, They stopped working on Jan 28-2026, I went to BestBuy in Odessa TX on 2/3/2026. After they checked my earbuds, they told me I have to pay $40 restocking fee or I have to file a claim on Bose Website. With these expensive earbuds you think you would use them for long time, the answer would be “NO” I only used them for 1 month and a half. I would not recommend anyone buying these Bose Open earbuds.

I would recommend this to a friendDecent open air
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent but not great. It’s nice to have open air to hear the surrounding noise but when you’re in a loud environment hearing music or phone calls is very difficult. I wouldn’t buy these again

Posted .Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the open-ear design and its ability to keep you aware of your surroundings. That said, we’re sorry to hear that the performance in louder environments didn’t meet your expectations.
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to prioritize situational awareness, which can sometimes affect sound isolation and clarity in noisy settings. We understand this trade-off may not work for everyone, especially if you often use them in busy or loud environments.
If you're looking for something that offers better sound isolation and a more immersive listening experience, perhaps you'd be interested in trying our QuietComfort earbuds. They’re designed to block out background noise, making them ideal for enjoying music or taking calls even in busy or noisy settings.

Quirky
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very unique, kinda pricey. Definitely fits a particular niche in earbuds.
I would recommend this to a friend Loved the Style but made me feel dizzy and deaf :(
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would use them and afterwards or even during usung them i felt as though i was going deaf and i felt dizzy as if i was getting sick. Not sure why, but i would’ve absolutely kept them if they didnt make me feel off. Would not recommend if you have super good ears like myself. That frequency was way too much!

Posted .Hi Danasiah, thank you for sharing your feedback on the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re glad to hear you appreciated aspects of the product, though we’re sorry to learn they didn’t feel comfortable for you. The earbuds are designed to let you enjoy your music while staying aware of your surroundings, keeping your ears open to hear the world around you while OpenAudio technology delivers rich, private sound.
At moderate listening volumes, they can deliver clear sound while helping reduce ear fatigue. We’d recommend adjusting the volume on your device to see if that improves comfort. Hope this helps!

Great Ear Bud, Great Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you like quality sound but don't like having a typical ear bud stuffed in your ear. The Bose Open Ear Bud Ultras will be a great option for you. After 3 days of wearing these 16hrs a day, I will say out of any ear bud I own these are by far the most comfortable. They are very light weight and apply very little to no pressure to my ear. Which is always my biggest complaint with ear buds. The Bose Open Ear bud Ultra's have a very easy to use single button control that stays tucked out of the way behind your earlobe, which I find to be a great feature in comparison to other brands that I own. I always have had an issue with bumping the buttons on others while I'm working, which leads to accidental hang ups if I'm on a phone call or even skipping a favorite song. Battery Life is a big must for me as well, After using these for three days I haven't had to charge the case yet. If you need a ear bud that allows you to listen to music and also be able to hear what's going on around you, look no further. Now to the just ok things, volume level is lacking a bit. In louder environments such as the automotive shop I work in it can get loud and make it a bit harder to hear my music or phone calls, But that's kind of expected. The unique Immersive sound setting seems to be a bit glitchy, it tends to cut in and out, which I'm sure will be fixed with a firmware updated. those are the only two things that stopped me from giving a 5 star rating on these. Much like any Bose product there is an App. to control things like the EQ and quick functions which can be customized in the app. All in all these are a great sounding high end ear bud that wont hurt your ears.
