    Great earbuds, with an inner ear piercing I find these don’t irritate my ear after wearing them for long periods of times. Bonus on the baby blue color, love.

      Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that the sound quality and comfort of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds exceed your expectations.

      In stereo mode, the earbuds should provide up to 7 hours of play time or up to 48 hours of standby time (with no audio playing). We're sorry to hear this hasn’t been your experience so far, but we truly appreciate you sharing it with us. For more details and support regarding battery life, please refer to this article: https://bose.life/48jkFsA.

      Additionally, you can check this link for information on microphone quality https://bose.life/46pwlYj. We especially recommend following the steps to reboot the earbuds, which may help resolve the issue.

    Great headphones, only thing is I feel it’s too expensive for $300. If it’s going to $300 it has to have what the other competition has such as wireless charging, multipoint etc.

    Failure to Charge

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased 31 Dec 2024 (unable to return it 60 days later). Charging issues within 30 days. The left earbud will not charge despite multiple troubleshooting recommendations from Best Buy, Bose, and the online forum. The electric prongs that charge the earbuds are small and frail and often get stuck in the down positions, resulting in no charging or mechanical issues that cannot be fixed. Opinion/Recommendation: DO NOT BUY. The original purchase price was 323, but now it's 229. This means inventory is too high, and realtors are adjusting due to poor performance sales and word-of-mouth opinions that aren't captured elsewhere. I bought Bose because I am a long-time customer. ( 2 x Bose mini sound link, sound bar, and earbuds). I'm moving on to Beats 2 based on online reviews. I didn't expect this issue within 30 days of owning the product, as this issue should have been resolved in testing/design.

    [Employee of bestbuy] You can still carry on a conversation with someone near you while still listening to music. The quality is amazing. However, if you’re looking for an immersive sound, these are not the headphones you want. Realistically, it sounds like a speaker surrounding you while you can still hear everything else. if that is what you want, you would definitely enjoy them. Ultimately I returned these as i couldnt justify the cost over buying a portable speaker.

      I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds, though you did like their sound and open-ear design! For immersive audio, I'd recommend one of our other in-ear solutions, namely the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. These buds sit directly in the ear canal, and the Immersive Audio settings will make your music feel like it's coming from outside the earbuds! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose
