    I’ve been really impressed with the Bose Open-Ear True Wireless Open Earbuds. They’re incredibly easy to use, with a straightforward setup and intuitive controls that make everyday use effortless. The sound quality is excellent for open-ear earbuds—clear, balanced, and enjoyable while still letting you stay aware of your surroundings. Comfort is where these truly shine. I can wear them for an entire work shift and often forget I even have them on. They never feel heavy or irritating, which makes them perfect for long hours of use. There are a couple of downsides to be aware of. Because of the open-ear design, people around you can hear what you’re listening to, especially in quieter environments. Also, while calls sound good on my end, people on the other side sometimes have a hard time hearing me clearly. Overall, these are fantastic open-ear earbuds for comfort, ease of use, and sound quality—just keep in mind the sound leakage and call microphone limitations.

    The Bose Open Air Earbuds deliver impressive sound quality in an open-ear design that feels natural and comfortable throughout the day. The audio is clear and full, with music, podcasts, and calls all sounding much better than expected for this style of earbud. These actually surpassed what was expected when looking for great sound quality in open-air earbuds, and have been very impressive overall. Comfort is a standout feature — they rest lightly on the ears without putting pressure in the ear canal, so they are easy to wear for long periods without fatigue. They stay secure during movement while still feeling barely there, which makes them great for everyday use. They have also worked well for gaming, music, and general media. For casual and story-based games, sound is immersive enough to enjoy what is happening on screen while still being aware of the surroundings, and switching between gaming, music, and videos feels seamless. Battery life has matched what was advertised, making them a reliable choice for all-day use. Overall, these earbuds combine great sound, comfort, and versatility in a very impressive package

    I like these headphones, even though they don't have anc. I like the fit, it fits nicely on my ear, light weight and can wear them for few hours. Mostly use them during workout, and they don't fall off at all. Sound quality is decent, given that they always on ear canal, sometime it requires adjustment. Call quality is not bad either. I use them often for calls, and I haven't heard much complaints from the other side when I speak or disturbance. So I say mic is good. But during call sometimes I have adjust them to be able to listen properly. Battery is good too easily last over 2-3 hours. Charging case is also decent. After extensive use, make sure to wipe off sweat from connectors before placing them in the charger. Overall happy with the purchase, use them during workouts and occasionally for calls. Wish they had wireless charging but considering that I still charge my wireless charging capable phone using wire, it's not a deal breaker for me.

    Setup was easy and the sound quality is great even being an open-ear model. The best thing I like, besides the sound, is that they clip-on and stay put. I'm able to move seamlessly between two devices, my phone and tablet.

    The fit is amazing and when you move around you feel like they will get lose but they don't. I always have issues with earbuds getting lose while walking - not here. Also the sounds is very good. I heard complaints about the bass but I don't see any issue at all. Yes, it's not going to sound as immersive as the top noise cancelling earbuds but that's not what they are going for. We will see how they last but the comfort and sounds quality can't be beat!

    Not the Bose I Remember—Returned With Regret

    The Bose Ultra Open Ear wireless earbuds just didn’t hit the mark for me—especially when it came to sound quality. I wanted immersive, enjoyable audio, but what I got felt flat and underwhelming for something carrying the Bose name. That said, my biggest issue isn’t exclusive to this model. It’s something I’ve noticed with multiple recent Bose Bluetooth headphones: the call performance has taken a serious hit across the board. The active noise cancellation (ANC), or maybe whatever processing is layered with it, seems to interfere with voice clarity. My voice is often transmitted lower than the background noise—leaving the person on the other end hearing more of my environment than me. With the Ultra Open Ear specifically, my wife and kids frequently told me I sounded like I was in a tunnel, or they’d hear their own voices echo back during calls. This happened whether I was moving in a car or even sitting stationary in my office. The clarity just wasn’t there, and it made hands-free calls frustrating instead of convenient. Bose still delivers on build quality and aesthetics, but they’ve drifted from the acoustic precision and reliability that made them a leader. It feels like the brand is leaning too much on its legacy—and less on making sure every new product is actually worthy of that legacy. I returned these, and I hope Bose takes feedback like this seriously.

    Great-sounding open-air earbuds. So light you really would forget they're on your ears but for the wonderful sound, but be careful. While you can't shake them off during exercise, you can easily brush them off. After pausing my music while in a convenience store, one of the buds came off when put my hood back on in a slight rain. Panic! Fortunately, it got stuck between my hoodie and my shoulder. So, great earbuds, but be careful.

    These work really well. You can hear your music, and hear other people talking if need to. The music and phone calls come in clearly, and you sound clear. They work wonders when working out at the gym. You don't have to deal with all the sliding or falling out.

    For open ear….that was really cool. Getting to use to placement on my ear involved a bit of a learning curve bit once you get pass that…..these are cool. Nice sound and nothing to interfere with normal hearing. But the music is so easy to listen to you might not want to hear other stuff!

    I love the sound quality and the light design of the earbuds but I am having some short connectivity loss often (like a cracking sound in both ears) when I run with them. I hope Bose can fix this issue soon. Firmware has been updated and I have no issues with other Bose earbuds in same condition.

    Great sound & so comfortable on my ears since I have ears completely full of piercings so I tend to not wear over ear headphones! I also love the fact that I can still hear my surroundings when I wear them—makes me feel much safer! The battery life is great, I have 0 complaints with these:)

    People constantly complain about not being able to hear me. Ear buds will connect and disconnect at random. Volume isn't great. They are very comfortable and can be worn all day. I would forget they were there. Button function is nice.

      Hi David, thanks for your feedback regarding the Ultra Open Earbuds. Great to hear you were impressed by the level of comfort offered, and the button function. For poor voice pickup, this is generally attributed to the way they are placed on the ears. There are tiny holes on the buds which work best when directed towards your mouth and if they're too high, it'll direct external sound into the mics. I recommend readjusting the placement and try another call to see if that helps.
