Posted .I'm sorry to hear the Ultra Open Earbuds don't fit you so well. The earbuds are designed to fit a wide range of ears; however, it is true that every customer's fit is different. As for sound, when worn correctly and comfortably, the earbuds' OpenAudio technology will direct rich, yet private sound into your ears. For any further assistance, our support team will be happy to help: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Perfect for outdoor runners
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I run outdoors a lot and I like to be aware of my surroundings because there are a lot of bikers and cars passing by and you never know what might happen. I learned my lesson when I had a close call with a car that lost control and I couldn't hear the honking with my noise cancelling ear buds (that would always wiggle out of my ear canal eventually). My left ear has a weird ear canal where most earbuds will rattle out eventually, which left me to utilize the ear hook style headphones when running. The only issue with the ear hook style is that they still shift more than I would like. The ear clip design of the Ultra Opens are a very new design that solves my specific problem. I can hear my surroundings and they don't wiggle around. In addition the sound quality is much better than my ear hook style earbuds. Now, I am not saying the Ultra open earbuds will be a bass head's first choice because without a proper seal you will not be getting any significant bass. For those that want to be aware of their surroundings and want earbuds designed for runners and bikers that want to be aware of their surroundings, then these are the earbuds you've been looking for. The one feature I wish these earbuds had is wireless charging. I think Bose really missed an opportunity by not having wireless charging.

Posted .Hello, thanks for your feedback. The Ultra Open earbuds do not contain noise cancellation technology, we'd suggest looking at our QuietComfort range of products if this is a feature that is important to you.

Just try them
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'll start by saying these earbuds are not necessarily tailored for audiophiles. Mainly due to the open ear design, you'll probably never get really deep or punchy bass out of them which is difficult for in-ear buds as well). However, they do sound really good otherwise and do actually lean a little to the bassy side so you may even want to dial that back a tad with the EQ. But whether you're working from home, at the office, or simply going about your daily routine, they do a really great job of what they're meant to do. Which is allow you to listen to quality audio or take phone calls while also being aware of your surroundings. While it might be awkward putting them on at first, they really are comfortable. The design allows for extended wear without causing discomfort or fatigue, making them ideal for working all day or binge-watching sessions. You can easily forget you're wearing them, especially when watching a TV show or movie, due to their lightweight and unobtrusive build. Speaking of that, the immersive audio actually pleasantly surprised me. While they may not deliver the depth and richness of over-ear headphones, they do a good job of enveloping you in sound without completely isolating you from your surroundings. This makes them perfect for catching up on Netflix series or enjoying some YouTube content without completely disconnecting from the world around you. But if you don't like that, you can always just use them in the standard stereo mode that you might be used to. Their open-ear design also has practical benefits. Unlike traditional earbuds that seal off your ear canal, these allow ambient noise to filter through, enhancing situational awareness. This feature is particularly useful for outdoor activities like jogging or cycling, where being aware of your surroundings is essential for safety. But don't think exterior noises will overcome your music or calls. It's a weird sensation at first but wearing them at a normal listening volume, such as you would on a phone call, you hear the audio just like if you were wearing regular in-ear buds, but but if someone talks to you or the dog barks, or whatever, you'll hear that too. Now you alao can turn up the volume enough that you can drown out some or most of those outside sounds, but you're still going to hear those higher pitched noises coming externally (i.e. sirens, screams, barks, etc.) It's up to you really - the higher the volume the more you can drown out. So you can turn the volume up where you can clearly hear your music, etc. but still be able to hear and understand someone talking to you, or you can turn it up a little more and be able to hear them talking but maybe can't fully understand them. They really are very versatile in that aspect. They're really easy to use and unlike some earbuds, pairing them with your device is quick and hassle-free, and the controls are intuitive, allowing you to adjust volume, play/pause, and take calls with ease. However, they do have their limitations. As mentioned earlier, if you're a discerning audiophile seeking studio-quality sound, you may find these earbuds lacking. Additionally, the open-ear design means they may not be suitable for noisy environments where you need complete isolation from external sounds, so they're not going to be sufficient for use as PPE. I feel like you really do get what you pay for with these though. Yeah you can get better sounding earbuds for less, but you're not going to find anything as versatile as these. I find myself leaving them in my ears throughout my workday because I can hear everything same as if I have nothing on my ears, and if I get a call or want some music, they're already in. And I really do forget they're in at times. So after using these, I really can't see going back to in-ear buds (unless it's a situation I need PPE.) They really are that versatile and innovative. And don't get me wrong though in regards to audio quality, because that is subjective to different people. And these do sound good. Plus this is a gen-1 product and I haven't gotten any updates yet so I'm sure they will be taking user feedback and constantly improve them further. I would definitely recommend them and am even thinking about getting my wife and teenage daughter a pair.

Mixed Thoughts
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great especially for me who prefers to listen to music and also stay aware of my surroundings. I really appreciate the uniqueness of the design. When I’m on the phone it’s hard for family/friends to hear me sometimes especially if theres noise being made around me though that’s one thing that for sure needs to be improved. Otherwise, its nice to have. The battery life is great on them as well.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for writing this review about the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
I am glad to hear that you are happy of the sound quality and the design of these buds.
If you experience any issue during calls, please check the following:
- Make sure the microphone holes on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked, as it can causes poor sound quality for a listener on the other end of the call.
- Be sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned properly on each ear.
If you need any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our support team: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US

Another awesome Bose product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was wary of these but should have gotten them sooner. The best way I can describe the experience of wearing these is, it’s kind of like having a really good sound system in whatever space you’re in. You can listen to these and everything around you, but the music, or podcast, or whatever you’re playing is private and insanely high quality, especially at lower volumes. The immersive feature is also pretty cool, and the battery is a monster. I was also surprised at how little sound leakage there is. It’s not particularly detectable unless you blast the volume, and you won’t want to. The only thing that’s not great is the call quality. I’ve tried a few times and don’t really like using them for phone calls.
