    These headphones are amazing for music listening. But these are probably the worst head phones i have owned to talk with. I had them replaced by bose but the new ones had the exact same issue. The person on the other end was barely able to hear me.

    Too short lived for the cost

    Don't waste your money. The right ear bud failed after 1 year 4 months, just outside of warranty and Bose was zero help. They had me reset them and they worked for another week then failed again. There are less expensive alternatives that will probably last as long or longer.

      Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re truly sorry to hear about the issue with your right earbud and the frustration it’s caused. While we regret that the reset only provided a temporary fix, we’d still like to help. Even beyond the warranty, we may be able to offer service options or solutions that could make things right. If you're open to it, we’d appreciate the chance to take another look at your case.

      Please feel free to send us your product details or case number, and we’ll do our best to assist you further.

    I love the concept of being able to listen to music and hear the world around you. The item itself was light weight and stayed on while moving around but after a while of wearing it my ears would hurt. The item put alot of pressure in one spot hurting me . The audio wasnt too bad but using it for calls was a no go. There was constant complaints that the other person on the call couldnt hear me. I ended up returning it. For the price it wasnt worth it . I expected better.

    I wanted to love these ear buds but they just didn’t do it for me. You can hear everything else going on when you have them on. May work well for others.

      Hi Mari, I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with you Ultra Open Earbuds. Please note that these earbuds don't feature noise cancelling technology. If you'd prefer a noise-cancelling option, we have several in-ear and over-the-ear products to choose from. I hope this helps! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    I use my earbuds for phone calls although the sound was good when properly positioned which was always difficult to get, the person on the other line can hear everything. Not worth the price tag
