    I really wanted to love these headphones. I’m an AirPod user and they were uncomfortable with my new piercing so I was look for something that didn’t go in my ear. These are super comfortable and I can here things really well, but it’s really hard for people to hear me on my calls, so I had to return them

      Hi AntoineB, thank you for sharing your thoughts. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds feature two microphones in each earbud, and wearing them properly can greatly enhance call quality. If the microphones are blocked, it may result in poor sound for the person on the other end of the call. To ensure the best performance, please make sure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on your ears.

      You can find more detailed guidance in this helpful link: https://bose.life/3YvjYXe

      Additionally, the bass can be adjusted through the Bose app. If you’d like assistance with that, here’s another helpful guide for you: https://bose.life/3LiaueX

    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.

    The length of the ear pod to the under ear is too short. So I really could not get the sound I wanted into my ear.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. The unique open-ear design is intended to balance comfort and situational awareness, making them ideal for active lifestyles. However, we understand that earbud length and positioning can affect how sound is delivered, especially for users with different ear shapes.
      The earbuds are designed in a standard size meant to fit most ears comfortably, but individual fit can vary.

    Did not like honestly, I totally get “open ear” design.. but overall sound quality sounds a bit (low end). Bose is usually known for deep bass, however these provide none. As far connectivity goes, these only work if you download the Bose app to set them up first (No EQ features within the app for the earbuds) For $300 these should’ve also been waterproof. Great design though!

      Hello Obadiah, I am sorry to hear that the Ultra Open earbuds haven't met your expectations, The app is designed to make pairing the earbuds to your phone much easier on top of the features the app provides including the ability to control everything through the Bose Music app take personalization even further with Adjustable EQ to Control bass, mid-range, and treble levels as you go.
      This can be found in the audio section.

      As for their water resistance levels while not waterproof these boast a water resistance level of IPX4 so they can get splashed on, dripped on, sprayed on without worry.

      If you run into any issues, please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help!
