I would recommend this to a friend Do not buy these Bose Open earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this Bose Open earbuds on Dec 15-2025, They stopped working on Jan 28-2026, I went to BestBuy in Odessa TX on 2/3/2026. After they checked my earbuds, they told me I have to pay $40 restocking fee or I have to file a claim on Bose Website. With these expensive earbuds you think you would use them for long time, the answer would be “NO” I only used them for 1 month and a half. I would not recommend anyone buying these Bose Open earbuds.

They Work.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They were ok. Sounded great, but it definitely takes some getting use to, and practice, putting on. The sound quality also depends on how you put them in your ear. It's takes a minute to find the right spot.

Posted .I'm glad you like the sound of the Ultra Open Earbuds! It's true that a product with an initially unfamiliar design will take a little getting used to; however, if worn correctly, the Ultra Open Earbuds will supply rich, satisfying audio and a secure, yet feather-light grip.

Bose open ear Disappointing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bose is usually my go too listening device however, the device hurt my ear lobe and it constantly shifted. Music quality was nice. One additional thought, no multipoint device use however, the open ear concept was good.

Posted .I'm sorry to hear that the Ultra Open Earbuds were hurting you, though you did enjoy their sound and open-ear design. The earbuds are designed to provide a comfortable fit to a wide range of users, however we appreciate that comfort is subjective. The earbuds can remember the 6 most recently paired devices, but only one device can be used actively at a time. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using earbuds for a longtime and i usually have to remove or use only 1 earbud so i can hear my surrounding or when talking to a person. Now, i don't have to remove it and sometimes i forget that i'm wearing it coz for some reason it feels light when you clip it to your ear.

I would recommend this to a friend Game changer in open air conduction earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided for this open earbuds after trying the alternatives in the shop by Shokz. I am a great fan of this kind of earbuds and I was aware of their limitations, open air or bone conduction. I was not convinced by the sound of the new open air Shokz, so I decided to give a try to the Bose, and my first impression was great. I am delighted with the sound and experience. It is really a game changer, and the recent firmware updates have improved a lot the sound and connection. Although I agree that the price is high, the results deserve the purchase.

Great product.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are just what I needed for my oddly shaped ear holes. Lol. They stay on my ears at the gym and working on equipment, which I do for a living.
I would recommend this to a friend A different way of hearing the world
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these as gifts for family members who like to go on outdoor walks. The ability for the ear buds to not actively block outside noise is great. The only minir annoyance is thst the battery level between L and R is different. One will go to 90% before the other, but ultimately does not impact performance. Would recommend!

These are great for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best headphones I’ve done bought, they work great for me having ear deformities
I would recommend this to a friend Amazing after the first week
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these! However for the first week of wearing them they were extremely uncomfortable. Also when u have the volume all the up, other people are bound to hear it. But over all, the volume is good and its nice to not have to take them off or pause the music when someone approaches you.
