||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially they sounded great. The second time i used them they would go in an out of phase making it sound like i was in a tunnel. I’lm stick with my quiet comfort ultra headphones instead.

Posted .Hi there, thank you for your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed with an open‑ear fit so you can stay aware of your surroundings, and each earbud includes two microphones for clear calls. Proper wearing of the earbuds is very important, please ensure that the microphone openings on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked. Blocked microphones can result in poor sound quality for the person on the other end of the call.
We’re sorry to hear that you’ve already returned it, but if you still need assistance, here’s a helpful guide: https://bose.life/49cHka5

Posted .Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds.
Please note that they don't have noise cancellation due to their form factor, being open earbuds. You will then be able to hear your surroundings, as well as your music.
Best regards,

Not worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality wasnt impressive. People could hear what i was listening to.. The mic was actually awful! Could not hear me on calls what so ever. For the cost of these I was not going to let these key factors not be mind blowing. Cute concept but needs improvements. Returned.

Posted .Hi Jovana, I'm sorry to hear you returned your Ultra Open Earbuds as you weren't fully keen on the open-ear design. This design enables the listener to hear their favorite content whilst maintaining awareness of the world around them. If you'd prefer a product that allows you to block out as much or as little of the outside world as you like, I'd recommend our in-ear noise-cancelling solutions. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
The worst headphones fro gym
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The lack of noise canceling makes these completely useless in my opinion Unless you want to listen to them in your bedroom
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Hello,
By design, the Open Earbuds don’t block out the world or have noise cancelling, however, they do have an automatic volume control feature, accessible in the Bose app, that helps you hear your music evenly as your environment changes from quiet to loud and back. But in very noisy environments where noise cancelling is helpful, traditional earbuds such as the QuietComfort Earbuds could be a better choice.
Best regards,
Lau - Bose Customer Support

Good yet the price point doesn’t align with sound.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good yet the price point is way too high for the Level of quality. The sound during a phone call is absolutely horrendous. The fitment I’ve grown accustomed to but still is less than functional during vigorous exercise. Battery life and change time is great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm glad you're enjoying the battery life of your Ultra Open Earbuds, and that you've grown accustomed to their fit most of the time. Though these earbuds won't provide quite the same experience as earbuds that sit directly in the ear canal, we'd like to assist and advise on the points you've raised.

I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds. Due to their unique open design, they do not have noise cancellation but still offer spatial audio.
