      I'm glad you like the sound of the Ultra Open Earbuds, Edi! If the mic is having difficulty picking up your voice, make sure the mic holes are not covered or blocked. If that fails, our support team will be happy to assist further. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    Decent but not great. It’s nice to have open air to hear the surrounding noise but when you’re in a loud environment hearing music or phone calls is very difficult. I wouldn’t buy these again

      Posted .

      Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the open-ear design and its ability to keep you aware of your surroundings. That said, we’re sorry to hear that the performance in louder environments didn’t meet your expectations.

      Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to prioritize situational awareness, which can sometimes affect sound isolation and clarity in noisy settings. We understand this trade-off may not work for everyone, especially if you often use them in busy or loud environments.
      If you're looking for something that offers better sound isolation and a more immersive listening experience, perhaps you'd be interested in trying our QuietComfort earbuds. They’re designed to block out background noise, making them ideal for enjoying music or taking calls even in busy or noisy settings.
