Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are great! I can still hear music/ taking to person on the ear buds and also hear my surroundings. They are not tight and can adjust well , by sliding them up slightly on the ear , so that you can heart them and not have to take them off completely.

Comfortable & Travel-Friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are really cute and comfortable, especially if you don’t like in-ear earbuds and still want to hear what’s going on around you. The sound quality is good, but even on the lower volume setting they can feel a bit too loud. Call quality isn’t great, which is a downside if you plan to use them for work or frequent phone calls. They’re nice for travel or casual use, but not something I’d fully rely on for everything.

Good, but not at that price.
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good wireless earbuds with a few glaring issues that hold them back from being great. The Good: Despite my initial fears, I love how these fit. I've never had issues with comfort. So much so that I no longer want to use the standard, in-ear earbuds. Having your ears free is so much nicer! They sound good! But with an asterisk... I'm not an audiophile, so I don't have the ear for different kinds of sound. But they are clear, no distortion, and I have no issue with how they sound. Physical control buttons! Touch panels are awful, so having physical buttons to use is great! They're the kind that you have to press and hold in different ways, but I'll take what I can get. I mostly use them for one-press play/pause. Easy to set up, and the app lets you set up the different audio modes easily. The Bad: Another app you're forced to use... Seriously, it gets tiring to have to download a new app for everything. The asterisk about sound? The default Stereo mode is not very good. Muted, dull, and not all that clear. Once you swap it to Immersive Audio, however, they pick up. Immersive Audio is a neat gimmick, but it's just that. A gimmick. I'm sure some people would like it, but I leave it on the motion one just for the better sound. The Ugly: That price is FAR too high for what these are! They're good, but nothing close to $300 good! Maybe $100, I'd argue you had something there. As much as I like the fit and think they sound good? No thank you. This is my second pair since my first decided to begin failing on me after a year of ownership. The case, for whatever reason, refused to charge if it was not being actively messed with. I'd only really use the left one, which is the one that would be dead the next day. Fully charged case and everything, but my bud would be dead unless I opened the lid, removed the bud, placed it back, and then it would charge. So... Good earbuds for way too much money, considering that these, like all wireless earbuds, are just rentals. You're going to scrap these in the future. Three batteries in these so ONE of them is going to give up one day. If you can get them at a massive discount, I'd recommend it. Do NOT pay full price.

Posted .We appreciate your detailed review! It’s great to hear that the fit and sound quality worked well for you, and that you found the physical buttons to be a huge plus. We understand the frustration with needing another app, however with the Bose app you can have control over multiple products using a single App. Your insight on long-term durability is also an important consideration. If you ever run into issues, we recommend reaching out to our support teams directly. You can get in contact via Social Media, or using this link: https://bose.life/globalsupport.

Not the Bose I Remember—Returned With Regret
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bose Ultra Open Ear wireless earbuds just didn’t hit the mark for me—especially when it came to sound quality. I wanted immersive, enjoyable audio, but what I got felt flat and underwhelming for something carrying the Bose name. That said, my biggest issue isn’t exclusive to this model. It’s something I’ve noticed with multiple recent Bose Bluetooth headphones: the call performance has taken a serious hit across the board. The active noise cancellation (ANC), or maybe whatever processing is layered with it, seems to interfere with voice clarity. My voice is often transmitted lower than the background noise—leaving the person on the other end hearing more of my environment than me. With the Ultra Open Ear specifically, my wife and kids frequently told me I sounded like I was in a tunnel, or they’d hear their own voices echo back during calls. This happened whether I was moving in a car or even sitting stationary in my office. The clarity just wasn’t there, and it made hands-free calls frustrating instead of convenient. Bose still delivers on build quality and aesthetics, but they’ve drifted from the acoustic precision and reliability that made them a leader. It feels like the brand is leaning too much on its legacy—and less on making sure every new product is actually worthy of that legacy. I returned these, and I hope Bose takes feedback like this seriously.

Would buy again
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for the sole reason of wearing while doing yard work and other outdoor activities. Sound is great, decent battery life and they stay in place. Have bought additional pairs for family members because they work so well.

Another premiere product from Bose
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing. Generates crisp, clear sound while allowing you to hear your surroundings. Ideal for the office or while out for jog. They stay on your ear lobe much more securely than I thought they would. No more trying to lodge pods into your ear canal and get them to stay!

Great Earbuds!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great design! I can’t even feel them on my ears. Sound blocks out the surrounding noise even though it is an open ear design. I haven’t used it on my run to see how well it stays in. Great on an airplane to drown out the other passengers.

Comfort and Quality all in one
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A.M.A.Z.I.N.G The quality on these earbuds that do not even seal your ear canal is very impressive. You can be aware of your surroundings while still being able to listen to whatever you need. The microphone is very good as well for phone calls. The best part for me is the comfortability. I can forget I have them on. I have never been able to sleep with earbuds and I was very happy I was able to do so with these. I tried the Sony’s earbuds and they felt very cheap compared to the Bose. I do not regret spending my money on these at all.

Love them
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfort is best ever. Typical Bose sound quality (I think Bose is generally best in the audio market, though some folks disagree). The open experience is a bit different. I find it to be fine but my wife probably would not. Used them while at the dog park and had great listening expeirience, no ear discomfort, buds were secure the entire time, and could hear ambient sound but was not distracted by it. If concerned about ambient noise being an issue, i would try them first. But, the extreme comfort and great sound overcome any other distractions for me.

Best earbuds so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality and features are excellent and better than most other earbuds. The design is what makes these truly amazing. These are the first earbuds that do not hurt my ears after 30 minutes. I also like that I can still hear my surroundings if the volume is adjusted appropriately to what is going on around me.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my new earbuds. I gave it a 4 stars only because of you are in a noisy place you really have to put the volume up to the max in prefer to hear. Besides that, they are a great pair of buds. They do not hurt my inner ear because they’re not in my inner ear like all other buds. I love the fit and feel of them and they sound great.

Highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was pleasantly surprised and shocked at how comfortable they are to wear and the sound quality is remarkable. After a few seconds I forget I’m wearing these earbuds. Others have commented on the lack of base and volume. In my experience if positioned correctly neither is true. I’ve used them to listen to Audiobooks, music and even movies and find them great. They are a little pricey but in my opinion well worth it, I would recommend Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in a heartbeat.

The BEST BUDS!!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish I’d made this purchase a lot sooner. The quality is clear, I thought I’d have an issue with the sound, by the pods sitting on my ear lobe, and not in my ear, no issues AT ALL! I got LITERAL sores in my ear from the Apple iPods. I am a REAL FAN, of all BOSE products.
