Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: * Good sound quality when listening to music * Comfortable open-ear design Cons: * Volume is too low * Poor phone call quality * Expensive for the performance Review: The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds sound good when listening to music, and the open-ear design is comfortable. However, the volume is not loud enough. When using just one earbud, it is especially quiet, and even with both earbuds in I have to turn my phone volume all the way up just to hear clearly. Phone calls are the biggest issue. The call quality is awful and most people on the other end cannot hear or understand me. This makes them unreliable for calls. Other users have reported similar problems with microphone and call quality on these earbuds. Overall, while the music quality is decent, the low volume and poor call quality make these hard to justify for the price. If I had been able to try them in the store first, I would not have purchased them.

This's about the best Earbud in the market. It is light weight, the clipping might feel weird, but it holds firm. The Ultra-Ear bud doesn't plug up your ear and leaves ringing after effect in your ears. You can hear things going on around and still enjoy clear crisp music. It's more like listening to music in the car even though you're in public. I highly recommend this Bose Ultra-Ear.

Unique product, sometimes forget there in my ear. Adjustable sound and good battery life. Feel good on the ear and app is great. Doesn’t make your ear hurt like apple products. Can hear people and listen to music

Overall, these headphones are great quality product. I bought them for comfort and versatility. Headphones that go in your ear aren't comfortable to me, and I have a bigger pair of high end noise canceling headphones, but they are heavier and can get uncomfortable depending on the setting. These headphones are extremely comfortable and fit perfect. I barely feel them on my ear. They fit part of the versatility part of the equation. The battery charge is great, and switching devices with the button shortcuts also great. However, without noise cancelation, I can't use them in airports or airplanes, which is probably the best use case for them. Perhaps, if I sat in a cubicle or office setting they would be perfect, but without that, the best use versatile use case for me is my home theatre when I'm watching alone at night, or exercising in a quiet setting. Still a great quality product. For the $300 price tag, I want to be able to hear it in a loud setting while traveling. This maybe a misalignment of my expectation and what the market value is, but I'd rather pay more to have some sort of noise cancelation feature and be able to use them everywhere. If I had to choose just one, I'd stick with the higher end noise canceling headphones, as in the ear headphones don't work for me. If have the budget and enough of a use case to justify a second pair, and in the ear headphones are too uncomfortable, these are the perfect solution.

Love…absolutely love these ear buds!!! I use these while in the office so I’m aware of my surroundings, but ca listen to my music. Even tho I’m blaring my music, no one around me can really hear my music. They fit nice and snug on my ears and they don’t feel like they will fall off. The sound quality is so good…actually the sound is as tho I have ear buds in my ears. Highly recommend!!!

Best pair of open ear headphones I’ve ever owned and I’ve had many different pairs/brands. These are it for me. Great sound, lightweight, comfortable. No downsides. Dropped them hundreds of times and still held up.

There are many options out there for headphones. Those options are usually of some similar design that often has limited users feeling closed off from their surroundings. These new innovative Bose ultra open earbuds are very unique in that they don't insert into your ears, yet they clip on them. This design is supposed to allow you the ability to hear what's going around you while being discreet in the sense that no one else can hear your sound. Well they deliver on that promise! It took a few minutes to set-up and after having them in my hand for 5 days and putting them through their paces, I can say they are amazing. First once on ears and adjusted they fade away and i forget they are even there. They are very lightweight yet stay in place. I tested them while working out and handled a few intense workout sessions at the gym. I used them while on the bike and when running. While running they did shift a little bit under heavy sweating but other than that they were fine. The sound quality is the quality Bose sound you have come to expect from Bose. They produce crystal clear sounds from music and the phone calls i had. They actually worked really well in phone conversations and was discreet where no one else heard the conversation. Overall I am very pleased and would recommend these to anyone who is looking for discreet and lightweight earbuds.

I love these earbuds! They’re extremely comfortable, and I often forget I’m wearing them. The sound quality is excellent for open-ear style, and I can still hear my surroundings — perfect for daily activities. The Midnight Violet color is beautiful, pairing was easy, and battery life has been great. Highly recommend!

It’s a good product, can hear the sound very good and hear my surroundings at the same time. The battery life seems good with no issues thus far. The ear buds are very secure on your ear while running or working out. Overall no complaints, great product!

Purchase these today while I started my new job in a warehouse and these are wonderful. I can still hear everybody around me even on the machinery and they are pretty cool looking. They look like earrings but I tell everybody they are hearing aids lol and the microphone is really good and loud environments Battery life great the comfort is excellent. I rarely noticed they’re on my ear. Kind of scary a little bit because of the price I don’t wanna lose them but overall they are great. I also have the quiet, comfort tools and these are the best pair comparisons to work together in whatever situation I need them in.

I purchased these ear buds to replace my I pods while I exercise because my iPods won’t stay in. And these Bose earbuds have wonderful sound and stay in place even when I run. I am in love with them. They are easy to pause or switch songs and answering a phone call is effortless. So comfortable and convenient.

These earphones are great for those needing to be aware of surroundings like parents or daily joggers. The sound quality is good and they stay on well however the heafty price tag is a hard justification. Another issue is, rarely, do these earphones like a short disconnect like a second or two. For me it isnt a big issue however I can see someone gettinh frustrated. They serve its purpose and are the only earphones of this category that ive so far enjoyed.

Really good sound, comfortable, looks great and battery life is great.

Love this design. No more ear buds falling out of my ear and pressing buttons trying to get them back in place. Great sound in volume and clarity. Having some hearing loss these are still clear even on low volume. Not the best for airplane rides but still effective to enjoy movies or books. Worked great jamming to music while using a chainsaw.

Really love the sound quality and feel of the buds. They are so comfortable on my ear that I forget they are there when not listening to my music or taking a call. Only con is that they do sometimes loose connection with my apple phone. But it is not often and a quick fix.

Sound quality was great, but they never fit right, just not large enough for a big head. I kept these and do use them for a backup, but rarely wear them. If they fit right they would have been perfect. This is my heads fault, but despite my problem, they are comfortable and don't feel like they are there and the sound quality is great

Sound quality is great and they feel so comfortable i forget they are there. Only downside was the mic quality an BT connection. Sound was apparently to low or hard to hear and it kept disconnecting/reconnecting from my devices.

Bought for my husband. He loved mine, so I got him a pair. Sound is great, stays in ears and don't irritate ears either . Battery life a 10! Lasts forever!

The sound is nice they’re a little pricey but not having something stuck directly in my ear is better because no headache after a long time. They are light weight also.

My husband gifted me with airpods pro but I knew pretty quickly they wouldnt work for me. He went back to bestbuy and exchanged them for these. These are the best earbuds ive ever had. My only complaint is they are so light I often forget I have them in. Sometimes with the immersive sound on I can't tell if I forgot to connect them because the sound seems like its coming from the room. That's a good thing but its crazy just how well it works. I have very small ears so in earbuds are always uncomfortable and fall out no matter which size I use. I also just think its gross putting stuff in my ears all the time even though clean. They also have multipoint, so can connect to multiple blhetooth devices but sometimes you get crackling if you have more than one of those devices with bluetooth on at once. These work really well for me and im glad something like this exists.
