Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a person that can’t have ear pods cuz they my my ears hurt really bad, so I was skeptical about buying these Bose one but, they are amazing, not only are they comfortable, the sound quality is so good. 10/10 recommend

I never had an open ear earbud before and these are great! Feels really good on my ear, the sound is what you paid for. Open ear means that you can hear your surroundings but also your music at the same time. When you tilt your head up or down, the music flows with the movement!

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.

These Bose clip-on headphones are great if you don’t want full noise cancellation. They don’t block everything out, but that’s actually what I like about them. I can listen to my music while still being aware of my surroundings, especially when I’m out and about. Comfortable and convenient.

Purchased Bose Ultra open earbuds back in Oct 2025.I found them to be easy to setup in Bose app on my Ihone 13 pro max. I found the fit to be secure to my ear.The sound from them was excellent for a open ear design.The controls on the earbuds were very easy to use to change settings and adjust volume and tracks.Have owned numerous Bose products over the years and they never disappoint Sound quality is . top notch.You hear the music and outside surroundings.

Very comfortable but not as loud as I expected when I’m out on a walk. The occasional lag when I’m a call. In a quite space, sound is clear and great quality

I absolutely love these. My only complaint is when making phone calls it's muffled and not very high in volume. But music sounds amazing in these. I only wish that I could buy a case protective case for it in town nobody has any. But I would recommend these and they're so comfortable to wear.

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.

These have been great for outdoor adventures with my dogs. I love being able to enjoy music while still hearing my surroundings, which makes me feel much more aware and safe on walks. They’re also surprisingly comfortable and lightweight. I often forget I’m even wearing them, and I think they look pretty stylish too. The only downside is call quality. People frequently tell me I sound far away, so taking calls can be a bit hit or miss. Other than that, they’ve been an excellent purchase and I use them regularly.

The audio quality on these Bose Ultra Open earbuds is superb for an open-ear design. Music sounds full and detailed, with clear vocals and a pleasantly spacious, natural soundstage that feels more like listening to small speakers than typical earbuds. Bluetooth interoperability has been mixed in my experience. They pair and perform well with a modern Android phone using a Qualcomm chipset, with stable connections and no major glitches. However, performance with a Windows laptop using an Intel Bluetooth chipset has been less than stellar, with occasional connection quirks and a generally less reliable experience. The dealbreaker for me is the microphone quality, which is truly awful. Whether connected to my Android phone or my Windows laptop, people on the other end of calls and Zoom meetings frequently complain that my voice sounds extremely faint and often cuts out entirely. Other non-Bose earbuds and headphones do not cause these issues on the same devices, so it appears specific to the Ultra Open earbuds. The mic pickup was so bad that I actually exchanged my first pair, thinking they were defective, but the replacement unit has identical problems. On the comfort front, these are reasonably comfortable and light, and I can wear them for extended periods. That said, they are not as comfortable as other clip-style earbuds I’ve used, and after a while I do notice some pressure on my ears. If you want outstanding open-ear sound and mainly listen to music or podcasts, these can be fantastic. But if you need reliable microphone performance for calls or meetings, I cannot recommend them.

I was looking for open ear headphones among different brands and this convinced me at the end and I’m not disappointed with my buy. They really are very comfortable that sometimes I even don’t feel them. Audio quality is awesome compared to other similar brands and you can customize it! Some People complain about max audio level but I’m not, these are OPEN EAR so they are not meant to sound very load so you can continue hearing your surroundings. I’m more than happy with my buy!

Great sound for an open earbud. Nice color. Very comfortable and easy to put on and take out.

Bought these to replace a pair of Gen 3 AirPods. The AirPods sounded good but they were too big for my ears and didn’t stay in very well. These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are really great. They are super comfortable and have great sound quality. I can legitimately wear them all day. With them being an open ear design the sound quality does suffer a little bit if you push the volume to the max.

The most comfortable earbuds every worn! No chance of it falling out - actually you'll go to bed before realizing you didn't remove it from your ear!!

It looks great and very light on the ears. I would recommend this product .

Really good ear buds for those who wants aware of their surroundings. Sound is great but had to return it because the person I gifted it to, likes bass. Since this is an open ear bud, it lacks the bass.

For open ear buds, these have fantastic sound. Decent bass if you crank it up in the Bose Music app. Fits well for my ears. I took a star off for the price, and no wireless charging. No excuse for a $300 pair of buds.

Nice sound and comfortable to wear all day. Battery lasts about as long as they claim.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G The quality on these earbuds that do not even seal your ear canal is very impressive. You can be aware of your surroundings while still being able to listen to whatever you need. The microphone is very good as well for phone calls. The best part for me is the comfortability. I can forget I have them on. I have never been able to sleep with earbuds and I was very happy I was able to do so with these. I tried the Sony’s earbuds and they felt very cheap compared to the Bose. I do not regret spending my money on these at all.

The clip on is most comfortable and effortless. Sound quality as clip on is mind blowing. I never was a fan of the ear buds going in your ear canal as I wanted to hear my surroundings and be present. The mic could be improved but in quiet settings seems fine. Nothing can be perfect but this one is almost there!
