Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the exceptional sound quality, comfortable fit, and lightweight design of these earbuds, which many users find ideal for smaller ears. While the battery life and open-ear style are also frequently praised, some users have expressed concerns regarding occasional connectivity issues and a maximum volume level that feels too low. Additionally, a small portion of customers feel that the product is priced higher than its overall value.

    Possibly comfortable but way too buggy.

    It takes a lot of effort to make the Open Ultra comfortable, but once you get it there it does sound really nice and it can stay there for comfortably for hours. However it is the buggies bose product I've ever used. Often only one earbud worked, requiring me to reset it by putting it in/out of the case. Sometimes even this wouldn't work and I'd have to unpair and re-pair it. This was inconsistent but it did happen way more than it should. More consistently, when starting a video it would take a solid 2 seconds before audio kicked in. If I paused the video, I'd have to go through the same thing. Imagine leaving a tiktok comment, moving on to the next video, only to miss the first 2 seconds of it. Really annoying. I ended up returning it. Not the quality I expect from this brand. I'd probably have stuck with it if it wasn't such a buggy product.

      Posted .

      I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the Bose sound from your Ultra Open Earbuds, and that you found a comfortable fit after a while. However, I'm sorry to hear that one earbud wasn't working 100% of the time. Resyncing the earbuds with the case can resolve this, or you can reboot your connected mobile device as this can improve the connection's stability as well.

      As for a video's audio not playing immediately, a slight audio/video delay via Bluetooth is normal. However, using a different video app can produce different results, as can resetting your earbuds, see here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000000hRrFAAU&language=en_US.

    These headphones are so comfortable that you can wear them all day without even knowing they are on. I listen to music and watch tv with them on. I love that you can hear everything around you while still hearing your program. Way to go Bose.

    These headphones are really cute and comfortable, especially if you don’t like in-ear earbuds and still want to hear what’s going on around you. The sound quality is good, but even on the lower volume setting they can feel a bit too loud. Call quality isn’t great, which is a downside if you plan to use them for work or frequent phone calls. They’re nice for travel or casual use, but not something I’d fully rely on for everything.

    These are amazing. Generates crisp, clear sound while allowing you to hear your surroundings. Ideal for the office or while out for jog. They stay on your ear lobe much more securely than I thought they would. No more trying to lodge pods into your ear canal and get them to stay!

    I have used these earbuds for about a month now and they have a pretty good sound. It states you can use two devices, but I found that it really works better if only one device is connected to the buds.

    These open buds are exactly what i was looking for. Sound is great (no ANC by design), fit is great, battery life is more than enough. I use them at work which they're fantastic for. I can listen to music and still here everything going on around me. Pay a bit for the name but I'm ok with that

    I bought these when I worked in a cafe to be able to listen to things and also interact with customers. They worked like a charm. Super comfortable and you stay aware of your surroundings.

    Sound quality and features are excellent and better than most other earbuds. The design is what makes these truly amazing. These are the first earbuds that do not hurt my ears after 30 minutes. I also like that I can still hear my surroundings if the volume is adjusted appropriately to what is going on around me.

    Amazing when listening to music, also great when listening to audiobooks or anything like that!!!! But as far as making a phone call there is some work to be done! While talking on the phone I found myself repeating myself as well as asking the person on the other line to repeat themselves. The design, the case, charge life all get two thumbs up. Only other thing is the ability to charge wireless will cost you additional and it only available thru the Bose website. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a wireless headphone to talk on the phone on.

    They are great! I can still hear music/ taking to person on the ear buds and also hear my surroundings. They are not tight and can adjust well , by sliding them up slightly on the ear , so that you can heart them and not have to take them off completely.

    Good sound. Very comfortable. Open ear allows to hear surroundings. Probably about $100 overpriced though. $199 would be fair.
