    Audio quality is surprisingly great for being open earbuds. Biggest con would be the microphone it is not good at all. Apart from that, they are the most comfortable headphones money can buy. Can wear them 24 hours straight without severe ear fatigue.

    OH I want to give them a 4 star. Oh. These are hands down 5 star for exactly you should expect them to do. Beautiful product, high quality, feels and sounds good. The spund is never perfectly even and as Pretty Reckless once said it "makes me wanna die" Your world will be forever tilted in the most luxurious way. 5 star for what they are. 4 star for experience.

    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.

    Bose always has great sound quality. I bought these earbuds for running and walking because my others keep falling out. The feel is different and takes some time to get used to. They work well unless there is a lot of background noise. When running or walking the fact that you can hear your surroundings is great.

    Bose Ultra Open-Ear Earbuds – Honest Review

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

    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 both great, and not great at the same time. The greats- they STAY IN PLACE. These will not fall out or off while running, which is specifically why I bought them. They also sound wonderful! The not as great- They sometimes switch listening mode on their own, so the music will sound surround and full, then switch to a more transparent, dull sound all of the sudden. Sometimes the only fix is simply opening the Bose app then it correct itself, so unsure whats going on. Or I'll get a weird connection interference sound mid songs if other bluetooth devices are around it. Since this pair can be updated, hopefully these are software fixes. Once fixed this is a definitely 5 star pair of headphones.

      Hey Matthew,

      Many thanks for leaving your initial thoughts of the Ultra Open Earbuds! It's great to hear you chose this product for your music listening needs and it's fantastic to learn they have fit you well, especially when you've been exercising.

      With your feedback regarding them switching automatically, this clearly isn't normal behavior and not something that is expected to happen so we'd encourage you to reach out to us so we can learn more about the problem. If it's happening randomly, I'd also suggest resetting the buds and setting them up as a new device to see if a fresh connection makes any changes to performance. You can find instructions for resetting the buds here: https://bose.life/4eSKFfe.

      Still need help? We're here to help! Get in touch today: https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.

    I have been waiting for such design for awhile from Bose and finally it's here. Typical bose, it sounds clear, and loud enough for my workout. It felt comfortable. I can now pull my hoodie up and down without dropping them. The immersive aspect is quite cool. And don't expect too much on the bass with this design. I don't know how long I can get with the battery yet.

    I have larger earlobes, so they sit back further from my ear canal. I think for more normal sized ears this product would be even better. I could squish my earlobes for better audio quality and noise isolation, but the fit would no longer be secure. I personally find the spatial features to be gimmicky and turn them off for better battery life. Have had little bluetooth issues like some other wireless buds out there.

    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.

    Best Open Earbuds!!

    Awesome sound for Open Earbuds. Good bass, mids and highs! The Bass definitely rumbles although not as in the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds but you can't compare Open vs. In-Ear. But I was impressed with the crisp sound (Bose audio signature). They also sound very loud. Just be sure you are wearing them the right way to get the best audio. Super comfortable for all day without any discomfort. The battery lasts ALL day!! Call quality is good also. Only downside is that the price is too high, $300 vs the QC Ultra that are now for $249.

    Good sound and high quality but not for me. I use them most in the gym and its nice to not have them right kn the ear. I find that the open ear though makes it hard to hear when there is so much noise around me.
