Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was extremely excited about these headphones. Unfortunately, that excitement was short lived... 20 mins to be exact. The sound volume was underwhelming. Definitely not worth $300. I returned them within an hour of purchasing them.

This item didn't even last me a year! I highly do not recommend it

These ear buds did not work for me at all!! I dont know if my ears were to big, or the wrong shape! But I returned them the same day I got them. They may work just fine for other people, but for "me" no bueno...

Hearing problems complaints from the person on the other ens

Poor sound quality during communication. Too much noise in the background.

This product was not all good warning before you spend think twice

hard to set up the app and the watch to phone heard to control sound

If you plan to use these earbuds to make phone calls, you should look for different one. Too much noise while talking. We returned it.

Dont at all try to use them to talk on the phone. You can barely hear anything. Sound quality when listening to music is just ok, connecting to an iphone messes up constantly

jnot even a year old and the case will no longer charge. Barely even had a chance to use it.

Bose Open Earbuds Ultra are what Bose self describes as “Earbuds Reimagined.” It’s definitely varies from the current trend of earbuds. The earbuds do not actually go inside of your ear canal. So this means you can hear the outside world and noise cancellation is not a feature. These are not going to be earbuds that you’ll want to wear on an airplane or maybe at the gym. I wore them for about 3 days while cleaning and hanging out at home. They worked great for that purpose. The question you need to ask yourself before purchasing these is this: Do you want to be cut off from the world while listening to your music, podcast, etc. or to do like the idea of your music commingling with your everyday activities? The main pro of the Open Earbuds Ultra is that the sound quality is terrific which is to be expected from Bose. This should be the main thing when considering any kind of headphones and Bose delivers as always. It will take a moment to get use to the earbuds not being inside your ears. You can still hear all the highs, lows, bass and it sounds amazing. Again, a lot of your listening experience will come from how much noise there is in the background. Music will get drowned out if you’re in a noisy environment. Something else to keep in mind is that if you play music loud, others will be able to hear it. My daughter said she could hear my music when I turned my volume up to 70%. If The comfort of wearing the earbuds is both a pro and con to me. It actually feels better to me to not have earbuds inserted in your ear canal. Sometimes I feel like there’s pressure from wearing something like AirPods. Having the speakers sit right by your ear feels great. However the trade off is that the earbuds have to clip onto your ears which I didn’t find the most comfortable. I didn’t like the feeling of having something clamped to my ears even thought they were incredibly secure, more so than other earbuds. Another negative I have with the Open Earbuds Ultra is that I am not a fan of how they look aesthetically. This is a personal preference but I didn’t like the way it looked when I was wearing them. Others opinions will differ. I didn’t like the volume control either on the earbuds. It felt like it jumped too much when I wanted to volume higher or too low when I wanted it lowered. I ended up just using my phone to control volume. I really like these earbuds. I plan on using them around the house when I’m in a quieter environment. I do actually like the feeling of not having buds inserted into my ear. As I stated earlier, your intended use will really determine if these headphone will be an appropriate purchase for you. If you want to use while traveling, at the gym or have noise cancellation then buy a different set of Bose headphones. If you want to have the music integrated into your life but not feel like you’re completely cut off then I would highly recommend giving the Bose Open Earbuds Ultra a try.

Do not buy this item bad quality and the store just give you 15 days to return not happy with best bist

This product was too small or just this product was not for me

These had no gain, wouldn't stay in my ears, and didn't sound very good to me. Ended up with Apple Pro 2's. WAY better.

I love Bose, had to return them. I like the idea but the execution is just not there. I have several different Bose headsets, etc. these just didn't meet my expectation.

So I started out with Sennheiser Momentum True 3 earbuds. They irritated my ears so I returned them. Thinking that all in ear earbuds are not all the same I went out on a limb and purchased The BOSE Quiet Comfort II's and the same thing they irritated me but because I didn't know about the open ear category at the time I kept them living with the discomfort thinking that this is as good as is gets. Enter this new category of open ear head phones that I discovered. Hmmm these might be good to look into. So now as a experienced consumer I set up some criteria for open ear head phones and I wanted all the boxes that were important to me to be checked or I would take a pass: * They have to comfortable and not hurt my ears. CHECK * They have to be lightweight and not bulky like all the other open air head phones. CHECK * They must sound good realizing they won't sound as good as in ear head phones CHECK * They must be comfortable in bed when I lay on my side. These are the FIRST headphones I can wear to bed and fall asleep to music while wearing them. With all the others it's like wearing a light bulb sticking in your ear when I lay on my side. BIG CHECK * Noise cancellation wasn't important to me because I have both BOSE N700 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 over the ear head phones for noise cancellation when I'm mowing the lawn or on an airplane. CHECK While I would like these to be more affordable they check all the boxes for me and that's why I bought them. While the other open ear specs are better. I don't listen to specs. I listen to music and I think they sound great! David

Their was a lot of static in the earbud. The clarity was good insofar as I could hear; however the caller on the other end could not hear me.

Not very good. Bad connection during calls and not the BOSE sound that I am accustomed to. Very low quality. Great looks, bad quality, horrible sound.

I had to start off with the fact that I absolutely love these Bose earbuds and am sure you will too! Audio The audio is great. It's on level with what you would expect from a Bose product. Initially, I thought there were concerns with the sound volume and then I discovered I was wearing them incorrectly. I laughed to myself and happily heard the sound much better once I actually put them on properly. The sound is great. What I also love is that backwards, they weren't as audible which tells me that others aren't able to eavesdrop on my conversations which is reassuring. Style/Fit I wasn't sure how well I would love the design, but I don't like things hanging on top of my ear. When I wear glasses, the over the ear type of headset interferes with my glasses or vice versa. That isn't an issue with these. Another thing I love is that the fit doesn't cover my earrings. I have other headsets that sit on my ears and cover my earrings, which is sometimes uncomfortable. This fit is just perfect. They are also incredibly discrete so at a glance you may not even realize that I have earbuds on. My airpods are white so it's very apparent when I'm using them. I much prefer these being black because they easily disappear in my brown hair compared to airpods. Connection The earbuds connect seamlessly. I use these at work which work computers can sometimes be a challenge on connecting to various devices, but the connection with these Bose earbuds is seamless. It's easy to identify and use them. I also use them with my personal computer and the experience there was also seamless. Easy is awesome. Easy to operate and a great battery life. Hours of life before needing to charge and they charge relatively quickly and are ready for the next round of listening. My absolute favorite feature is just the style and fit. I have never owned another pair of earbuds that have this design. It really sets Bose apart with what they deliver in the design and feel of this product. I love it! I use a variety of different products for my audio needs between working from home and at the office and this set is my new favorite!

I bought it and returned them just 5mn later. Not worth it.
