Great Design, basic sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not like honestly, I totally get “open ear” design.. but overall sound quality sounds a bit (low end). Bose is usually known for deep bass, however these provide none. As far connectivity goes, these only work if you download the Bose app to set them up first (No EQ features within the app for the earbuds) For $300 these should’ve also been waterproof. Great design though!

Posted .Hello Obadiah, I am sorry to hear that the Ultra Open earbuds haven't met your expectations, The app is designed to make pairing the earbuds to your phone much easier on top of the features the app provides including the ability to control everything through the Bose Music app take personalization even further with Adjustable EQ to Control bass, mid-range, and treble levels as you go.
This can be found in the audio section.
As for their water resistance levels while not waterproof these boast a water resistance level of IPX4 so they can get splashed on, dripped on, sprayed on without worry.
If you run into any issues, please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help!

Want to love them…
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to love these headphones. I’m an AirPod user and they were uncomfortable with my new piercing so I was look for something that didn’t go in my ear. These are super comfortable and I can here things really well, but it’s really hard for people to hear me on my calls, so I had to return them

Scratching sound after few days of use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 2 pairs and both pairs ended up making a scratching noise after the first few days of use. Also didn’t last 10 hours even though it said 18. They would also just disconnect from my phone out of nowhere at random times. Don’t waste your money.

I would recommend this to a friend Eagerly awaiting….waiting…waiting…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always had good experiences with Bose products and own quite a few, so my review of these earbuds could be really good. However, these have been on back order for the last month and I have not had a chance to even try them out. I am giving Bose a 5 star review based on my past experiences, but reserve the right to change my rating if and when I finally get them
