Not good for phone calls
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great design & comfortable! However, everyone I talk to says it sounds like I'm far away and they can hear all of my background noise to the point were it's drowning me out. Most people ask me to talk to them without the earbuds on. Even in a quiet car with only the AC running they can hear it over me talking.

Posted .I'm glad you like the design and comfort of the Ultra Open Earbuds! If the people you're talking to can't hear you clearly, make sure the mic holes on the earbuds aren't blocked, and also try a reset of the earbuds. If that doesn't help, please contact our support team: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Connectivity issues
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I havent even had these for a year and they are constantly disconnecting from my phone saying “iphone lost”. When they do work they’re fine, but ill be listening and all the sudden theyll stop playing and disconnect, when this happens it will continue doing so for the remainder of the use. Personally if i could go back i would not have purchased these, especially for nearly $300. Airpods are way better and way more reliable.

If I could give zero stars I would!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so excited to get these headphones and was so disappointed when they arrived. I could barely hear out of them, you can’t talk on them and any loud noise cancels out the headsets. SMH. Cool design but horribly executed. SMH Not to mention I barely had the headsets for two weeks before the headset completely stopped working and would not connect to my Bluetooth. Took them back today and was just one day shy of my return window. Don’t waste your money guys. Grab some AirPods or Beats.

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you didn't get on well with the Ultra Open Earbuds, Kammie! While these earbuds don't offer noise cancelling due to their open-ear design, they do have a microphone, enabling you to take/make calls, access your voice assistant, and more. As for the Bluetooth connection issues you mentioned, try rebooting your mobile device; if that doesn't help, our customer support team will be happy to assist you further: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Posted .Hello, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Ultra Open Earbuds feature a microphone system that allows you to use them during calls. The microphone system will even adapt to your environment to isolate your voice from competing background noises and wind during calls. Our design of the Open Earbuds is particularly conducive to calling. Without your ears blocked you can hear your own voice in a completely natural way, making remote conversations feel more like in-person ones.

Not good for noisy places
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They don't perform well on noisy places. Volume is not high enough to clearly hear. Lost my money :(

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you're not completely happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds! Due to their open-ear design, a particularly noisy background can present issues. For this, I would recommend one of our earbud solutions that sits directly in the ear canal. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Only one bud works on a brand new unit.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reddit reviews said buds had software issues with only one bud working. I bought anyway because of comfort and open air design…as I go trail running a lot. One bud stopped working right after I took a phone call using the buds. Reset did nothing.

Not good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $300 these are by far the worst headphones I have used. If they were $50, different story. The idea of them is really cool but the quality is so bad. Using these headphones I felt like I was transported to 2004 with the worst sound quality imaginable. Do not buy these headphones if you like to be fully immersed in music while working out. Get you some IEM's or ever Apple Airpods for around the same price. Oh, and these headphone cannot handle rock music at all. So if that's your favorite genre of music to work out to, then dont buy these

Posted .We appreciate your honest feedback. Due to its open design, these earbuds do not feature any noise cancellation and provide a completely different experience than traditional earbuds. This model allows you to enjoy your favorite media while remaining alert to the surrounding world. We understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to listening to music, and we appreciate you trying the Open Earbuds. We’d be happy to explore any settings or adjustments that might improve your experience.
Kind Regards,

Call quality is a negative!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like the previous reviews, the call quality is complete trash! For headphones that are $300 they should sound like it. Bose really dropped the ball.
