Perfect Fit
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fit is perfect. These can be worn all day. The sound quality is just okay and callers often say they either can't hear me well or I sound muffled. If your using it to just listen to music or your favorite podcast, then this is your choice...just don't make any important phone calls.

Bose earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The bose open earbuds are legit worth every penny. But had such a horrible time purchasing in sante fe new Mexico 1st the guy was acting like i dont have money then giving off racist vibes. To bad its the only best buy is the only one in the city.

I absolutely love these
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These earbuds are fantastic. I love being able to hear sounds around me so i was looking for a pair of earbuds thatd still sound good but allow me to hear everything. These do just that. Yes, obviously if youre in a loud environment they're not going to be great. That should be common sense. But if you're looking for something that allows you to hear your surroundings and your music these are flawless.

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.

Posted .Hi Amanda, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you liked the style and look of the earbuds, and we’re sorry to learn you’ve experienced battery and connectivity issues. For reference, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have a battery life of up to 7 hours with Immersive Audio off, 4 hours with Immersive Audio on, and 3 hours with both Immersive Audio and Auto Volume on. The case provides up to 19.5 hours of charge. Earbuds take about 1 hour to fully charge, the case about 3 hours, and a quick 10‑minute charge provides up to 2 hours of use. If one earbud drains faster than expected, here’s a helpful troubleshooting guide you can try: https://bose.life/3Q83OBW
Regarding connectivity, Bluetooth performance can be affected by distance (typically within 30 feet), interference from nearby devices like Wi‑Fi routers or microwaves, outdated firmware, or multiple pairings. To improve stability, keep devices close, update firmware and drivers, disable battery saver mode, and restart both devices to clear temporary glitches. Here’s a guide that may help: https://bose.life/4bEGtAm

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.

Comfortable, but mic isnt great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought they were comfortable, but when on the phone or zoom calls, the mic would cut out and people described me sounding to be in a fish bowl.

Posted .Hello, Madeline! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you found the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds comfortable, as comfort and all‑day wear are key benefits of the open‑ear design. We understand your concern with call and Zoom performance, especially when the microphone intermittently cuts out and others describe the sound as muffled.
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them correctly can make a noticeable difference in call quality. If the microphones are blocked by headwear, hair, or if the earbuds are not positioned properly on each ear, it can affect how clearly your voice is captured on the other end of the call. Ensuring the earbuds are securely and correctly positioned may help improve call performance.
