    I am disappointed with the background noise during phone calls. People cannot hear me clearly due to the lack of noise cancellation. However, the battery life is quite impressive, and the earbuds fit securely in the ears without falling out. Additionally, Amazon offers cases for these earbuds. My only concern is the poor call quality.

      Thanks for the review Mayra! I'm happy to hear you're impressed by the battery life and secure fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds. Please note that the noise cancelling only cancels background noises for you, not for people that you call. If the mics on your earbuds are picking up a lot of background noise, it may be necessary to move to a quieter environment. Alternatively, please give our support team a call, so we can take a closer look. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    They super great for not being in your ear, if you like noise cancellation this product isn’t for you. I work on a tug so background noise can make it hard to hear while talking on the phone or listening to music. I have zero complaints for using around normal noise levels like shopping, or being around the house.

      Hi AntoineB, thank you for sharing your thoughts. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds feature two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can greatly enhance call quality. If the microphones are blocked, it may result in poor sound for the person on the other end of the call. To ensure the best performance, please make sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on your ears.

      You can find more detailed guidance in this helpful link: https://bose.life/3YvjYXe

      Additionally, the bass can be adjusted through the Bose app. If you’d like assistance with that, here’s another helpful guide for you: https://bose.life/3LiaueX

    These have been nothing but issues since I got them. they worked for the first run and then have been cutting in and out and disconnecting from each other for minutes at a time. Now I am getting a not contacting all the pins in the case error. Sometimes i take the ear bud out of the case for or five times for them to connect. They wont charge randomly. Waste of money.

      Hi TylerS, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been running into, that’s definitely not the experience we want you to have.

      The problems you described, audio cutting in and out, the earbuds disconnecting from each other, and the “not contacting all pins in the case” message, suggest that the earbuds may not be making proper contact with the charging case or that the system isn’t functioning as intended. Here are a few steps that can help resolve this:

      -Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case using a dry, soft cloth or cotton swab. Even a small amount of dust or residue can interfere with charging.

      -Make sure the earbuds are seated correctly in the case, you should feel a magnetic pull and see the charging LEDs activate.

      -Try the troubleshooting guide for connection issues here: https://bose.life/3ZBKKxw.

      These steps will help get your earbuds back to optimal performance.

      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

    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.

      Hi Schawayna, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoy the sound quality for music, and we’re sorry about the issues you’ve experienced with call quality and single-earbud use with your Ultra Open Earbud. Just to clarify, you can use one earbud at a time, because each earbud is designed to work independently, so you can listen to audio or take calls with just one if you prefer.

      For help improving call quality, please check out this quick guide: https://bose.life/4oSXU4r. We appreciate your input, it helps us improve and serve you better.
