    Decent audio quality, unfortunate high noise floor

    They pair fine, have minor connectivity issues on Android (odd dropouts that require disconnect/reconnect), and sound reasonably good for what they are. They look much nicer than most other open-ear alternatives and don't suggest "Don't talk to me" which is nice. My one main gripe is that the noise floor is much higher than an average TWS. It's very noticeable in quiet environments and generally makes these feel cheaper than the price tag indicates. Would strongly recommend waiting for a firmware update that fixes this before opting for them.

      Hello Jack,

      It's wonderful that you've been enjoying the audio quality of the earbuds. For the connection dropouts I'd recommend double checking that you're not connecting to the Bluetooth LE connection of the earbuds for every day use.

      I understand you're hearing the noise-floor of the earbuds, it is odd that it would be audible even outside of quiet environments. It is not normally audible by everyone, and we would expect if it is heard to only be in a quiet environment with no music or audio playing. Please reach out to us https://bose.life/contact as we'd love to get your feedback from you.

    After purchasing Airpods and Beats wireless earbuds, these by far are the most comfortable! I could wear these for 2 hrs and feel no discomfort. I specifically purchased these to run and they do not move. I had trouble with other brands while exercising, they would fall out when I started to move or sweat. These earbuds are not noise cancelling, you are still able to hear background noise and enjoy your music. Perfect for work and exercising outside.

    These are by far the best earbuds on the market. They have a great design but it also has some top notch quality which is expected from bose. And they delivered. I love how well it pairs with a variety of devices. I have a simple phone called a light phone and it connects. I have an 8 year old garmin watch and it connects. I love that it proveds great sound while also allowing you to hear the elements around you.

    The Bose Ultra Open earbuds were really nice. They were comfortable and didn't hurt my ears at all. They pinch onto your ear, very lightly--barely noticable. Immersive mode was really cool too, especially in dynamic mode where it sounds like the music if playing inside your head. 8D and binaural music lovers with love this! However, I don't think they were $300 nice. They didn't sound any better they my Galaxy Buds Live which also don't go into your ear canal. They also didn't have wireless charging like my Galaxy Buds. If I am awake, I am listening to music and they don't have a great battery life for constant listeners. In a nutshell, the Bose buds are really great headphones if you don't mind the price. I just didn't LOVE them that much.

    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.

    I recently purchased these Bose open earbuds, and I am thrilled with my experience. Sound Quality: The sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. Whether I’m listening to my favorite tunes podcasts, or taking calls, the clarity and depth of sound are impressive. Comfort: These earbuds are so comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them even during extended use. Pairing these earbuds with my devices was a breeze. The Bluetooth connection is stable, and I appreciate the seamless transition between my phone and laptop.

    Love these earbuds! They’re so sleek. Fit nicely around my ears, I think they’re pretty comfortable, great sound when not crackling. So far this is my second pair, 1st pair; crackling and popping noise when I adjusted it, I returned them for the white ones. Now the crackling is worse with my 2nd pair. It’s just terrible, sometimes it doesn’t crackle, but most of the time it’s almost every few mins for a couple of seconds. Also has like a Bluetooth glitch time to time, like it disconnects for a second and comes back on. I love these though, I can listen to music and still be aware of my surroundings. The whole reason why I wanted these but the crackling and popping noise, I’m not sure it’s entirely worth it. I am sad to be returning them once again.

      I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying the design and fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds, as well as the audio quality!

      If you're experiencing crackling sounds or occasional Bluetooth stability issues, try rebooting your connected mobile device, as that can help to restore a stable connection. Also, check whether these issues are occurring in all environments, or whether they seem to be specific to one environment.

    These buds have great sound for an open ear pair of true wireless buds. They are the holy grail of comfort, sound, and the ability to hear surrounding noise. The one big drawback is that call quality is horrendous to the point of being un-useable. On runs, if I get a call, the person can’t hear me well at all and it’s impossible to hold a conversation. I’m really bummed by this as they do everything else extremely well. I like the controls being a button rather than touch, and comfort is just fantastic as they clip on your ears. Bose really dropped the ball on calls.

      I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying the comfort and sound experience that the Ultra Open Earbuds have to offer. If the people you are calling are unable to hear you, I would recommend making sure each earbud is sitting on your ear at about 45°. It's also a good idea to remove any headgear, and make sure the microphone holes on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked. If the call issues persist, our customer support team will be happy to help you further: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    I wprk in an enviroment where i can't always have noise canceling. These earbuds are perfect for awareness. They are incredibly comfortable you will forget they are even on. The only downside is the price. The software for the device is decent and you can have them paired to multiple devices at once, you just can't have dual audio streaming unfortunately.
