Sore ears Had to return
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried these Bose ultra open ear buds and the sound was what you’d expect from Bose but they made my ears very sore after only one day of use. They squeezed the cartilage of the ear which drove me crazy and after a few minutes made my ear sore. I kept wearing them and rotated one ear at a time for my meetings all day thinking I may have just needed to break them in, but both ears were just so sore. I liked that they stayed outside of the ear and the sound was amazing but I had to return because they were not comfortable for me. I tried them in different places by sliding them up and down the ear but that didn’t help.

Posted .Hello Alanna, the Ultra Open earbuds have flexible joints, light-as-air grip, and they will wrap around your ears instead of fitting inside them, they’re incredibly comfortable and super stable. For when you want to get your run on, or just to run your errands, they’ll hug your ears all day. To ensure that you get the most comfort from your earbuds, please feel free to reach out to our technical support teams, who will be more than happy to assist you further: bose.life/3rykPZR.

Love my new Bose headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best ear phones I’ve had, way more comfortable than Apple and look nicer
I would recommend this to a friend Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best investment, but that price tag sucks. If you can get it on sale absolutely do it or if you have points. 300$ product shows why it's worth it but a 200$ price tag and this product would be flying off the shelf.

Uncomfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very uncomfortable. I love the concept of an ear cuff headphone but the actual speak part that goes into the shell of the ear is plastic, hard and uncomfortable. It should have been padded with some sort of silicone. I’m constantly adjusting them up and down the shell of my ear bc they start to hurt and need moved to a new position, but it’s usually no longer than 20 mins before they’re bothering my again. I’ve had the less than 2 months and the left one shorts in and out. I’m hoping I can return them. The cost is too high for them to not be more comfortable, I think a redesign is needed.

Posted .Hello Mira! Thank you for sharing your feedback. That’s certainly not the experience we want you to have, and we understand your concern, especially when you’ve been excited about the ear‑cuff design.
Our Ultra Open Earbuds were designed to let you enjoy your music while keeping your ears open to the world around you. To achieve this, we engineered a lightweight, ear‑cuff–inspired shape that gently grips the ear while housing our Bose OpenAudio technology. This allows the earbuds to project rich, immersive sound without blocking the ear canal, all while keeping the design as light and unobtrusive as possible.
Comfort can vary from person to person, and sometimes a small adjustment can make a big difference. You can try sliding the earbuds slightly up or down the outer part of your ear to find a position that feels more natural and reduces pressure. This can also help with sound balance and avoiding interference with jewelry.
For step‑by‑step guidance on wearing and adjusting your earbuds, you can follow our full guide here: https://bose.life/47yqhOs
We hope these tips help improve your experience so you can get back to enjoying your earbuds comfortably.

Good product
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product they’re good for exercise. It would be nice if they have noise cancellation but overall pretty good product.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Christmas gift so they haven't been uses. I'm sure they're great!
I would recommend this to a friendA different way of hearing the world
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these as gifts for family members who like to go on outdoor walks. The ability for the ear buds to not actively block outside noise is great. The only minir annoyance is thst the battery level between L and R is different. One will go to 90% before the other, but ultimately does not impact performance. Would recommend!
