Posted .Hello Yolanda! We’re sorry to hear that our Bose Ultra Open Earbuds did not meet your expectations. One common factor that can affect microphone performance is the positioning of the earbuds. If they’re not seated properly, it may impact how clearly your voice is picked up. To help improve this, please check out this helpful guide: https://bose.life/3Jlrhg5

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a long time Bose fan, and thought these Open Ear earbuds would be great for walking/exercise. While they were very light weight and comfortable. I could never find a position that provided even "decent" sound quality or volume. I returned them.

Posted .Hi William, happy to hear you're a long-time fan of our products! Although you enjoyed the comfort and feather-light grip of your Ultra Open Earbuds, I'm sorry to hear you weren't able to find the sound and volume you were looking for. While an open-ear design may not be as loud as a closed-ear design, you can try resetting your earbuds, as shown here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001fddgAAA&language=en_US.

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.

Father’s Day Gift Made Easy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Enjoyed the fast shipping and description for the product
I would recommend this to a friendNot worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not recommended, i bought these as a gift for my brother and while testing them he turned some music on low and i could hear it sitting 5 feet away from him. I get these are better for your ears but you dont want others hearing your conversation or music
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
Bad sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.for these beings Bose. I did not like the sound quality. I feel they could have made this much better. I do like the way it fits and does not move from my ear, But I had to return these because I do not compare to an Airpod.

Never again!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything was bad. The only thing i liked about them was look. They were stiff, sounded ok as long as nothing was playing in the background. Call quality was the worse, it sounded like people were whispering. Bought them the day before my trip returned them as soon as i got to my destination. So yourself and wallet a favor and go with the OneDot Shokz. 10x betterand $100 less. Not to mention that the OneDot can be connected to 2 devices at the same time.

An Interesting Piece of Garbage
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like any TWS earbuds Bose been made in recent years, it's an interesting piece of industrial garbage. It's perfect set of sports earbuds with a perfect usage scenario when you sitting indoor under a quite atmosphere. Ah, no need to mention the small issues like no ANC, volume extremely low and not for people with big ears, those are harmless small problems that not worth mention.

Posted .Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback. By design, Ultra Open earbuds do not block out the world or have noise cancellation. However, they do feature an automatic volume control feature which will help you hear music evenly as your environment changes around you. In addition, proprietary Bose OpenAudio technology allows the earbuds to play rich, immersive audio privately. The buds are designed to fit all; the light-as-air flex arm provides enough grip to keep the buds secure on any size ear. They're even designed to attach to a part of the ear that does not interfere with most glasses, hats, and piercings!

Not what I expected
||Posted . 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
