    Scratching sound after few days of use

    Bought 2 pairs and both pairs ended up making a scratching noise after the first few days of use. Also didn’t last 10 hours even though it said 18. They would also just disconnect from my phone out of nowhere at random times. Don’t waste your money.

    I am a big Bose guy. You name it i probaly got it. When i saw these i could not wait to pick these up. Bose need to go back to the drawing board with these. I know they are open air but the aound should not suffer becaue of that. I purchaed these on a Friday and by Monday morning they were returned. The sound is very shallow and when you are on the phone people complained about me sounding like im across the street. Yes i had them on correctly. I was in an office environment iy was better but the mall forget about it!! The design is fire. I think the next ones will be better but for now i had to pump the brakes on these.

    Sore ears Had to return

    I tried these Bose ultra open ear buds and the sound was what you’d expect from Bose but they made my ears very sore after only one day of use. They squeezed the cartilage of the ear which drove me crazy and after a few minutes made my ear sore. I kept wearing them and rotated one ear at a time for my meetings all day thinking I may have just needed to break them in, but both ears were just so sore. I liked that they stayed outside of the ear and the sound was amazing but I had to return because they were not comfortable for me. I tried them in different places by sliding them up and down the ear but that didn’t help.

      Hello Alanna, the Ultra Open earbuds have flexible joints, light-as-air grip, and they will wrap around your ears instead of fitting inside them, they’re incredibly comfortable and super stable. For when you want to get your run on, or just to run your errands, they’ll hug your ears all day. To ensure that you get the most comfort from your earbuds, please feel free to reach out to our technical support teams, who will be more than happy to assist you further: bose.life/3rykPZR.

    After three months of owning them the right earbud wasn’t working anymore. I’m going to bestbuy now to figure it out, but if I get nothing out of this I recommend not buying this product. Besides that the battery life is great, stick in my ear pretty well but if your in a loud environment probably don’t buy this product.
