    Bose Ultra Open Ear

    Nice looking and comfortable to wear. The volume could be higher and the price should be lower. My favorite thing about these open ear buds is they felt very secure and most times I forgot I had one on.

    Great design, but only for Podcasts and Audiobooks

    These are incredibly comfortable — so light you’ll forget you’re wearing them. But unless you're listening to spoken word, don’t bother. They have virtually no frequency range beyond mids, making them perfect for podcasts, audiobooks, and phone calls — and useless for music. They’re overpriced for what they deliver, especially with better options available. That said, I still love them for what they are: great background audio while I’m working around the house. Just know what you're buying — and only grab them on sale. Thanks, Bose, but these should cost half as much.

    Comfortable earbud from Bose

    This earbuds are my first earbud by Bose and it is as the brand acclaimed. The earbuds are very comfortable to wear and leave room for you to wear glasses at same time without crowding the earlobes. I had tried various earbuds/headphones and frequently have sore ear due to the prolong weight combine with eyewear. This stylish earbud reduce that problem. One con of this style is the increase in volume level necessary vs standard in-ear headset. Overall, satisfied with my purchase.

    Great for music, not so good with calls

    I absolutely love how these headphones feel and function. Wearing these during work is perfect becsue i can be fully aware of my surroundings without being hindered from hearing whats going on around me. Sometimes i forget they're there. They also are very snug and have never fallen off even after shaking my head trying to make them fall out. Cant expresss how disappointing the call quality is but if im just sitting still with no back ground noise theyre not bad for call quality. Me and my wife both have a pair and only use them to call eachother if we arent actively doing something(driving or ither things that have active background noise) with all that said theyre honestly great, reliable, and quality for music. We will be keeping ours but really wish the call quality was better. You can enable the "auto noise" setting to make it better but still not the best. There you have it folks. Theyre great lol just not best call quality.

      Thank you for sharing such a detailed and balanced review! It’s great to hear that the headphones excel in comfort, fit, and functionality, especially for work and music. However, it’s clear the call quality leaves something to be desired, particularly in environments with background noise. It’s helpful that you mentioned the "auto noise" setting as a partial workaround, though it’s unfortunate it doesn’t fully resolve the issue. Overall, it seems these headphones are fantastic for music and daily wear, but not ideal for calls in active settings. In order to address this, we would recommend reaching out to our support team.

      Kind Regards,

    I love these so much. I can go for a walk and still hear the traffic trying to get me. Honestly I think the startup sound when you first put them in your ears is my favorite

    While you can hear very well they are not good with phone calls. Person in the other end cannot hear the speaker. They are comfortable but for phone. Alls not good.

    Sound is great. Over the ear design is very comfortable. The biggest issue is the ambient noise can drown the music being played even at full volume and forget phone calls. A car drives by and you can miss what’s being said.

    Recently bought the Bose ultra open ear..just say, they have been a delightful addition to my daily routine! As a music lover and frequent podcast listener, I had high hopes for these earphones, and they certainly did not disappoint. Earbuds are a fantastic investment for anyone seeking high-quality sound, comfort, and convenience. The minor drawback I found was that the touch controls can be a bit sensitive at times, leading to accidental pauses or skips, but it’s a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar product. If you’re in the market for reliable and stylish wireless earphones, I highly recommend giving these a try!

    No doubt these will be compared to in-ear buds which is not accurate. The technology behind these clip-on buds provides great sound and comfort with the ability to also hear what's going on in your surroundings. The sound in no way will be comparable to the Bose or any other in-ear buds. We need to get over that! There is a uniqueness to these that will not be for everyone. Bose also provides the best customer service if a problem exists. Nice addition Bose!

    I would recommend to anyone who like to be aware of there surroundings, and it has great sound quality for a open earbuds. The only thing that is not great is when you take a call it is quiet and you can not hear well even at max volume.

    I was super excited when bose dropped out the new of these new outwear earbuds. Bought it right away.TBH i am not happy with it. Bose outwear neckband 5/5 got discontinued . Sound quality 3 doesn't sound like bose headphones or earbuds. Max volume is not enough. I can hardly listen to songs in crowded places. If ya calling someone they cant hear your voice sometimes you have to goto speaker mode. Tbh i am dissappointed i mean bose products are alway 5 out 5 but not this one and definitely not worth the money at all. Surely these looks different and many people's wpuld gona give it a try. Comfort is 5 out 5 Sound is 2.5 out of 5 .

      Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.

      By design, the open earbuds don’t block out the world or have noise canceling. Your experience will be different from what you are used to with in-ear earbuds that offer noise cancellation. The Ultra Open Earbuds do have an automatic volume control feature, accessible in the Bose Music app, that helps you hear your music evenly as your environment changes from quiet to loud and back.

      If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team: https://bose.life/contact

      Lau - Bose Customer Support bose
