Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bose Ultra Open-Ear Earbuds are excellent when it comes to music listening. The open-ear design delivers clear, immersive sound while still allowing awareness of your surroundings. For enjoying music during walks or at work, they perform exceptionally well. However, call quality is not the strongest. People on the other side of the call often struggle to hear my voice clearly—possibly a mic issue, though I’m not entirely sure. If calls are a priority, these may not be the best option. One more thing I noticed: the sound quality becomes even better when I bend my ears slightly forward, which obviously isn’t practical to hold all the time :-) . This might be due to my ear shape not perfectly matching the intended design :-) , so the fit could vary from person to person. Overall, despite a few quirks, these are among the best open-ear earbuds in this price range, especially if your main use is music and comfort rather than calls.

These are my second set of Bose headphones. I do a lot of business on my phone and wanted to be able to hear my surroundings since their other in ears have such good noise cancelling. These are light and comfy. Great sound quality and really good battery life. It does take a bit of practice for fitment

For open headpuones, the sound quality is very good. The headphones are comfortable to wear as well. Battery life seems great so far as well. Why not 5 stars? These headphones have some big drawbacks too. When i answer phone calls, nearly everyone has said rhe microphone isn't very good. Also, the controls other than pause and restart playing don't seem to work. I'm unable to change volume for example. I have to do many of the controls though my phone.

The fit is amazing, very light weight I give it 5 stars. The overall rating I give 2 stars 1 because the incoming call volume is horrible. I literally can hear any and everything they’re not the least bit noise canceling. Now can I wear them at work and most think they’re a thick pair of earrings yes but not worth my 320.00 I gave them to my husband. Beautiful design but would not recommend to an enemy. The volume is low compared to apple air pods. I spent more time saying what did you say. May be okay for working out listening to low volume but for anything else.

They are comfortable, stays in place without falling off and the sound is awesome, and I love the bass. I am very happy with my Bose!!

Understand what you are buying and you will love them. These are not audiophile grade headphones. If you are looking for noise cancellation heavy bass and high volumes these are not for you. These serve a purpose. For what they are the sound quality is quite good. I bought these for biking and for the office. They excel at the office. I use them for calls, as a headset for listening to music etc. I can have these on playing music and still hear people approach my office and speak to them and hear them no problem. They are discreet and not extremely noticable. They are light weight and very comfortable. I wear them for hours at a time. I walk around with these not playing anything and forget they are on which is nice. Just buy them for what they are for.

These are by far the most comfortable and best sounding earbuds I’ve ever owned. They don’t move, fall out or irritate my ears. They stay in place and sound Great!!!

Comfort: A+ Music: A # Great for an open earbud Battery: A Look: A Call D: # Had a Pixel same issue. Got iPhone same issue. People can’t hear what I say clearly. Microphones are hidden. I tried voice recording it’s feels like 1950s radio. That’s the Main and only down side.

It's a perfect alternative to earphones if you are not comfortable to continuously have earphones plugged into your ear. Can use it for extended duration without any discomfort. Sound quality is also good.

I recently purchased the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds in black, and they exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is outstanding, with crisp highs and deep bass that provide an immersive listening experience without isolating you from your surroundings. The open-ear design ensures comfort even during long periods of use, making them perfect for outdoor activities or extended wear. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 8 hours on a single charge, with additional charges from the portable case. Connectivity is stable, and the intuitive touch controls are easy to use. These earbuds are a fantastic choice for anyone seeking top-notch sound quality and comfort.

Very stylish and work well overall. The sound is good and they look great. However, during phone calls, people sometimes have trouble hearing me. Also, they don’t work with Siri, which is a bit disappointing.

I have not loved the ear pods that insert into my ear. They are uncomfortable after a short period of time and they never truly fit well. These are great - super sound quality and wrap around your outer ear. Love these!

These are the best earbuds I've ever had. They're comfortable, clear, and they don't come off. Buy them, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful sound. Very comfortable. Stays in place while moving amc bending over.

Exactly what I wanted - comfortable, they don't fall off, great sound and I can maintain awareness of my environment.

They look great work great very good sound they don't fall out Ben jogging walking bicycling they work great no complaints Don't hurt my ears they fit in comfortably overwhelming satisfied they also have a very good sound good quality sound

The Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless earbuds are a game changer. The open-ear design feels incredibly comfortable—I can wear them for hours without any pressure or fatigue. They stay secure even during workouts, but still let me stay aware of my surroundings. The sound quality is exactly what you’d expect from Bose: clear, balanced, and powerful. Music feels immersive, with great bass that doesn’t overpower the mids and highs. Calls are also crystal clear, and the noise management is impressive for an open-ear style. Battery life is solid, lasting easily through my day, and the charging case is compact and easy to carry. Pairing with my devices was seamless, and the controls are intuitive.

Positive notes first: ---- - The actual buds that go into your ears are comfortable, and the sound is great and seems to be very private while also allowing you to be aware of surroundings. I use it for hiking and trail running primarily. They stay put and are a great design themselves. The cons: ---- I was also a customer of BOSE for the Sports Open "over ear" series. Collectively: I have had to do 4 straight replacements of one variety of another with their products. For the sports open ear: I had to replace once two charging stands and a third replacement for a earpiece that went bad. For this new ultra setup: I now have my first charging case to replace. EACH of these replacements has occurred within 6 months to a year across the board. It was so frequent, in fact: that I remained within warranty with BOSE for all of my replacements of my BOSE sport. The bose ultra case managed to last me up until just past my 1 year anniversary with the product and so thus im stuck paying $100 for a replacement case on amazon. THeir charging stands and cases, simply put: are VERY cheap. You'll run into issues with the pins connecting or getting jammed into the small spaces. You'll feel the cheapness and how delicate they are. The only reason the bose ultra lasted the full year is I used them signifcantly less than my bose sport. Im confident they would've broken within first 6months to year as well had I used them as often as the sport open ear. BOSE is "getting away with this" with me as a customer simply by having a design that is superior to the competitors so far with open ear. However I cannot wait until competitors start to match them on good solutions for open ear wireless buds (not in-ear) because I am more than ready to ditch this brand. Their stuff simply does not last and you WILL be sending it back for a replacement if in warranty OR be replacing a case or bud soon enough. --- Note that for SOUND QUALITY, BATTERY LIFE, and CONNECTIVITY I'd give better star rating than "overall". Battery life I am giving a 2 star because in reality the battery charging is always an issue. However when you DO charge them the charge length is fine to get through a nice hike, etc. I've been happy with that piece when they actually work.

The colo really sells this product I love how they stay on effortlessly and great audio.

I loved these. I’m one who doesn’t like to have earphones go in my ears. But the comfort and lightness of them was fantastic. And they stay on throughout my workouts no worrying about them falling off. The sound was amazing. I only wished they had a tracking in case they get lost.
