Actively good!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for work with open awarness and great for active workouts!
I would recommend this to a friendToo Many Issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The concept is great, however they were constantly disconnecting to where you need the case to do a “hard reset” to get them to connect again. I couldn’t even get through 30 minutes without them messing up like that. I had to return them. Definitely not worth the frustration. It’s a known issue…which I didn’t know before I purchased.

Posted .Hi there, we appreciate your valuable feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to offer a great mix of comfort, sound quality, and innovative features. With multipoint connectivity, you can seamlessly connect to up to two devices via Bluetooth.
That said, Bluetooth disconnections can occasionally occur due to factors like signal interference, the distance between the earbuds and the connected device, or nearby electronics. These can impact performance depending on the environment.
If you’re open to giving them another shot or exploring other models, feel free to reach out, we’d be more than happy to help you find the perfect match for your needs.

Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If they had been $100 they would have been okay but for $300 I did not like the experience the sound quality was not there they weren't that comfortable and on top of it if you had enough outdoor noise they were almost useless I'll stick to one ear bud in an ear instead

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Ultra Open Earbuds, given that you can hear some of your brother's music. The Ultra Open Earbuds feature Bose's OpenAudio technology, which directs rich, deep audio into the customer's ear canal while minimizing sound spillage in other directions. In most environments and at most listening levels, people around the user won’t hear anything. In a very quiet environment, others may hear that something is playing, but they shouldn't be able to hear any detail unless they get up close. If you suspect your brother's earbuds might be spilling too much sound, please contact our support team for further assistance: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
This product has clarity and comfort. Bad Mic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I feel this is mainly for joggers and people outdoors that need to pay attention to their surroundings. Not design to talk to people on the phone because it has the worst ever microphone quality like way below -3 star.
