Ear buds

Posted .Hello, Scott. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, and we’re grateful that you chose the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve been experiencing discomfort after wearing them for 30–60 minutes.

Extremely comfortable, poor microphone
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These fit comfortably around your earlobe. Listeneing to these allows you to remain aware of your surrounding and converse when needed. Don't buy if you plan on making calls (microphone is terrible) or need noise cancellation (can't hear anything on MAX volume when doing anything that involves loud noises).

Not what I expected Bose to become
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a long time fan of the Bose inear headphones. For many platforms ive tried many years ago i was looking for the crisp and clean sound and bose delivered however And unfortunately for me, the open ear was a downright disappointment for the Bose line in my opinion. I was told by one of the employees at Bestbuy that these headphones were rated quite good from alot of people...and well. As a diehard audio guy, these did not deliver that "bose" quality sound. At max volume the sound was crackled, there was also not much bass and it just was not my style of in ear headphones. I gave it 2 stars because the one star was for fitment, it felt good "clipped" to the ear, but i wish it had a little more to out that bud into the ear itself. And the other star was for the idea that Bose was going for. The quality of the sound for me was terrible... the BEST in ear buds ive had from Bose was the ones that were super large and stuck out alot BUT you would twist the bud itself into your outer ear and it would literally fit into place and not fall out at all. The "second generation" for the ultra quiet inear that took a good thing and turned it into something different and made it bad. For that first gen the speaker itself was a little further away from the eardrum and MADE THAT quality crisp with the bass bose has been known for. The second gen...since it was closer to the ear drum it took away some of the max volume of the music and turned it down a bit because it was closer to the ear. So with the open ear....it just washed it away. Idk how much more disappointed i can put into words on how sad i am of what Bose Did with this line.....and asking 300 bucks for it. I did it as a trade in from the utra quiet 2 earbuds for these...and 3 days of use. I returned them and got a giftcard caz i didnt even want the ultra quiet 2's either.

It’s ok but
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to test and see how it is because I never had anything like it and Bose always make good sounding headphones. I love the style it kinda make it look like it’s a pair of earrings. The sound I would rate it a 7 out 10 it could be a bit louder and have a bit more bass. My issue was the price I don’t think they are worth the price $90-100 is a better price point for them.

Posted .Hi RonM, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the product overall, but we’re sorry to hear about the connectivity and fit issues. Bluetooth disconnections can happen if you move too far from the paired device (about 30 feet), or due to interference from nearby electronics, outdated firmware, or power‑saving settings. Pairing with multiple devices or crowded environments with many signals can also contribute.
To improve stability, we recommend keeping devices close, updating firmware and software, disabling battery saver mode, disconnecting unused pairings, and restarting both devices to clear temporary glitches. Here’s a helpful link you can use to resolve this issue: https://bose.life/4vuD0wd
Regarding the fit, here’s another guide you may use to ensure proper wearing of the earbuds: https://bose.life/4mAdVfc

Good if you don’t mind hearing background noise
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the sound quality is great. My only complaint is when I am at the gym, I can’t even hear what is coming through the earbuds. I know they are open buds but I didn’t realize just how much background noise I would hear.

Unique
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microphone is horrible - if i attempt to have a conversation with someone, i can count on the person saying, i sound distant or i sound like im in a tunnel. But regarding playing music or media, i love everything about that experience. They are lightweight and easily usable for hours, unlike any other earbud or headphones ive ever used. The sound quality is not the best, but not a deal breaker. For casual listening, perfect.

Good Sound, questionable fit
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these because standard in ear headphones do not fit in my ears (keep falling out). I looked at these and thought I finally found some headphones that were actually made for me. The first day with little use, I thought they were great. Very good sound. Once I wore them to work and started just doing little stuff like moving around from point A to point B and minor shuffling around, I found that the top part that rests on the ear just sort of pops out and kind of hangs there. I kept pushing them back in, but there really isn't anything holding them in so eventually I spent a lot of time pushing them back in my ear all day long. Love the idea of it, but not for me. Plus I wasn't confident that the rubber part that "bends" to the ear would stay that way for very long. Anyway, I returned mine after a week of use. Sound was good, fit was for me. NOTE: I spent a lot of time researching the different ways to fit them on my ear, and no matter where they went the top part would loosen up and pop-out past my ear eventually.
