    Love these ear phones! I have really small ears and these fit so comfortably without hurting them after long wear. I also love the open ear sound because I can run comfortably while being able to hear my surroundings without taking away from the quality of the sound.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Comfort is best ever. Typical Bose sound quality (I think Bose is generally best in the audio market, though some folks disagree). The open experience is a bit different. I find it to be fine but my wife probably would not. Used them while at the dog park and had great listening expeirience, no ear discomfort, buds were secure the entire time, and could hear ambient sound but was not distracted by it. If concerned about ambient noise being an issue, i would try them first. But, the extreme comfort and great sound overcome any other distractions for me.

    I've had 4 BOSE Earbud products go bad in a row

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Good wireless earbuds with a few glaring issues that hold them back from being great. The Good: Despite my initial fears, I love how these fit. I've never had issues with comfort. So much so that I no longer want to use the standard, in-ear earbuds. Having your ears free is so much nicer! They sound good! But with an asterisk... I'm not an audiophile, so I don't have the ear for different kinds of sound. But they are clear, no distortion, and I have no issue with how they sound. Physical control buttons! Touch panels are awful, so having physical buttons to use is great! They're the kind that you have to press and hold in different ways, but I'll take what I can get. I mostly use them for one-press play/pause. Easy to set up, and the app lets you set up the different audio modes easily. The Bad: Another app you're forced to use... Seriously, it gets tiring to have to download a new app for everything. The asterisk about sound? The default Stereo mode is not very good. Muted, dull, and not all that clear. Once you swap it to Immersive Audio, however, they pick up. Immersive Audio is a neat gimmick, but it's just that. A gimmick. I'm sure some people would like it, but I leave it on the motion one just for the better sound. The Ugly: That price is FAR too high for what these are! They're good, but nothing close to $300 good! Maybe $100, I'd argue you had something there. As much as I like the fit and think they sound good? No thank you. This is my second pair since my first decided to begin failing on me after a year of ownership. The case, for whatever reason, refused to charge if it was not being actively messed with. I'd only really use the left one, which is the one that would be dead the next day. Fully charged case and everything, but my bud would be dead unless I opened the lid, removed the bud, placed it back, and then it would charge. So... Good earbuds for way too much money, considering that these, like all wireless earbuds, are just rentals. You're going to scrap these in the future. Three batteries in these so ONE of them is going to give up one day. If you can get them at a massive discount, I'd recommend it. Do NOT pay full price.

      We appreciate your detailed review! It’s great to hear that the fit and sound quality worked well for you, and that you found the physical buttons to be a huge plus. We understand the frustration with needing another app, however with the Bose app you can have control over multiple products using a single App. Your insight on long-term durability is also an important consideration. If you ever run into issues, we recommend reaching out to our support teams directly. You can get in contact via Social Media, or using this link: https://bose.life/globalsupport.

    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!

    I love my new earbuds. I gave it a 4 stars only because of you are in a noisy place you really have to put the volume up to the max in prefer to hear. Besides that, they are a great pair of buds. They do not hurt my inner ear because they’re not in my inner ear like all other buds. I love the fit and feel of them and they sound great.

    I was pleasantly surprised and shocked at how comfortable they are to wear and the sound quality is remarkable. After a few seconds I forget I’m wearing these earbuds. Others have commented on the lack of base and volume. In my experience if positioned correctly neither is true. I’ve used them to listen to Audiobooks, music and even movies and find them great. They are a little pricey but in my opinion well worth it, I would recommend Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in a heartbeat.

    Great sound quality. I love the range of volume, keeping it low lets you hear the surrounding but if you increase the volume you can focus on the music when needed. Been on several runs and they fit well, no movement. Still getting used to the control but so far very good product. I tried out shokz since they’re all the rave in the running community but didn’t come close to these. Someone swears I just got defective shokz but Bose always delivers on sound quality.
