    Not even a week into wearing them and they were “flickering” in and out with the sound. They fit pretty comfy for my ears.

    These have been nothing but issues since I got them. they worked for the first run and then have been cutting in and out and disconnecting from each other for minutes at a time. Now I am getting a not contacting all the pins in the case error. Sometimes i take the ear bud out of the case for or five times for them to connect. They wont charge randomly. Waste of money.

      Hi TylerS, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been running into, that’s definitely not the experience we want you to have.

      The problems you described, audio cutting in and out, the earbuds disconnecting from each other, and the “not contacting all pins in the case” message, suggest that the earbuds may not be making proper contact with the charging case or that the system isn’t functioning as intended. Here are a few steps that can help resolve this:

      -Clean the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the case using a dry, soft cloth or cotton swab. Even a small amount of dust or residue can interfere with charging.

      -Make sure the earbuds are seated correctly in the case, you should feel a magnetic pull and see the charging LEDs activate.

      -Try the troubleshooting guide for connection issues here: https://bose.life/3ZBKKxw.

      These steps will help get your earbuds back to optimal performance.

      I'm glad you like the Ultra Open Earbuds' fit! On voice calls, you won't get quite the same quality as when you listen to music, due to the different Bluetooth profile (HSP/HFP). I hope this is useful! Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

      Hi Schawayna, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoy the sound quality for music, and we’re sorry about the issues you’ve experienced with call quality and single-earbud use with your Ultra Open Earbud. Just to clarify, you can use one earbud at a time, because each earbud is designed to work independently, so you can listen to audio or take calls with just one if you prefer.

      For help improving call quality, please check out this quick guide: https://bose.life/4oSXU4r. We appreciate your input, it helps us improve and serve you better.

    I really wanted to like them and keep them but returned it. My two cents. 1) It was not great for wearing longer times. Pain in the ear lopes. 2) Sound was audible to the persons nearby as a disturbing annoyance. I have the Bose frames that I use regularly, the sound from that was not nuisance to people around me.

    For Bose I expect much better. The quality when trying to talk on the phone is terrible. Cuts in and out and sounds very far away for the person on the other end. Would not recommend at all and would return if I could.

      Hello Melissa! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We truly appreciate you sharing your feedback about the call quality, especially the microphones cutting in and out and sounding far away to the person on the other end. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds include two microphones in each earbud, and proper positioning plays a big role in how well they pick up your voice. If the microphones are blocked by hair, headwear, or if the earbuds aren’t clipped on securely, callers may hear you as distant or inconsistent.

      Please ensure the microphones are unobstructed and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear, this can noticeably improve clarity during phone calls.

    Inside the box is the ear buds themselves, charging case, charging cable, and warranty/safety informational guide. There is a quick start guide (QR code) on the inside of the opening of the box and thankfully I noticed before the box was thrown in the recycle bin. First Impression - These wireless buds sport a unconventional shape, but an undeniably extraordinary sound. QR Code/Quick Start - The quick start guide is very helpful in giving a move vivid description of how to put the headphones on, updates the firmware, lets you customize the key bindings of the buttons and equalizer/sound controls. I definitely recommend downloading the app. Open Earbuds/Comfort - Right out of the box, the buds stunned and left an impression as I personally had never used wireless headphones with such a design, external and hanging from the edge of the ear. Though I was certainly skeptical, the design has a comfort I’d never expected. They also don’t move much, despite being held on by not but their own countered weight. Strange design aside, they were quite easy to get used to as they weigh nothing and feel like even less. If not for the music, you could easily forget the buds are there. Sound/Calls - The sound most certainly sets the bar for wireless headphones. There’s an immense amount of base, and despite the design they do block out quite a bit of external sound. So much in fact, half volume seems to be plenty, even perhaps too loud, which is a first for a fan of loud music like myself. Also vice versa the way the buds rest allow for you to listen to the area around while the music is low for some ambience or perhaps motivation on a jog. Calls are extremely clear, and the microphone seems to capture sound well. Battery Life - The battery life was not included on the box, but they seem to last around 10-12 hours from a full charge, and charge twice in their case. It took two days of listening before the buds finally indicated a low battery, and the charge was relatively short, maybe 10 or so minutes for the buds in the case and 20 for the case. The case lets you know the charge status of each bud with individual indicators, as well as an indicator for the case itself. The only issue I could find with the headphones, was a sort of glitch that disabled my ability to change the volume on my phone once the headphones were connected. Restarting the music streaming app I was using seemed to fix it, while be it temporary as it is a reoccurring thing, so it may just be the streaming app itself and not the headphones. They are also magnetic, which goes for most earbuds, but the magnet on these is quite strong and gave me a startle when I discovered pair of earrings I was not aware were also magnetic. Overall, I am highly impressed with the design, the sound and the comfort of these headphone and I would highly recommend to friends and family.

    Love these earbuds. Open ear so I can hear my surroundings and listen to my music too. One thing though, if you wear a mask it gets caught on the elastic when removing the mask. Just be aware that when removing mask it will get caught and thrown off your ear.

      Hi Ronnie, I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment! Thanks to their OpenAudio technology, the Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to channel rich, high-quality volume into your ears, whilst keeping your ears open to the world around you. If you're having volume issues, make sure your connected mobile device is turned up all the way. Another thing to try is a quick reset of your earbuds, which is done as follows: https://support.bose.com/s/article/ult-headphoneopn-resetting-your-product---ka08c000001bufcaaa?isSessionCreated=true&language=en_US. I hope this information is useful; if the volume issues continue, your local support team will be happy to continue troubleshooting with you. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose
