Recommended for quiet places
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It really feels like you are not wearing anything. Volume is not as much as the in ear ones but still good. Hard to ear if you are in a noisy place

Scratching sound after few days of use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi Lilyj, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Bluetooth disconnections can happen for a variety of reasons, such as moving too far from the paired device (Bluetooth typically works within about 30 feet), interference from nearby devices like Wi‑Fi routers or microwaves, outdated drivers or firmware, or even power‑saving settings that limit performance. Pairing with multiple devices at once or rare hardware faults can also cause repeated drops. Environmental factors, such as crowded areas with many wireless signals, and mismatched Bluetooth versions may further contribute to connection issues.
To improve stability, we recommend keeping devices close, updating firmware and software, disabling battery saver mode, disconnecting unused pairings, and restarting both devices to clear temporary glitches. To help resolve this issue, you can check out this helpful link: https://bose.life/4mIlb8N

Decent open air
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hello Ihor,
I am glad to hear that you love how good the Ultra Open Earbuds.
The buds should work fine with Apple products, so if you are experiencing any connectivity issues, please try to reset your earbuds prior to connect them.

Reveloutionary futuristic Comfort and Style
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Embarking on my journey with the new Bose Open Air Earbuds has been nothing short of a revelation. These open air earbuds is what I have been waiting for since the earbud craze has blossomed but overall comfort hasn’t. These earbuds redefine the concept of comfort and style, offering a listening experience that transcends traditional boundaries. The comfort is the first thing that seriously turned me on to these earbuds. The Bose Open Air Earbuds boast an unparalleled level of comfort that is truly unmatched. There design allows them to be worn like a pair of clip-on earrings but with less clip. With zero pressure in or around the ear, wearing them feels like a breath of fresh air. It's as if they were custom-made to fit seamlessly onto my ears, allowing me to enjoy my music for hours on end without any discomfort whatsoever. Adding to their comfort is their feather-lightweight design, making them almost unnoticeable upon wearing. With the Bose Open Air Earbuds, it's like wearing a whisper on my ears. This lightweight construction enhances the overall listening experience, allowing me to stay immersed in my music with the amazing immersion mode setting. Depending on your environment it literally seems as if you are at a concert or live viewing of a movie. There is a motion immersion that has the music envelope you all around keeping the music balanced. The other mode option is the “Still” setting that is simply amazing. While remaining in one spot, when you turn your or move your head in any direction, it seems as if the music remains emmanting from a direct source like a stage so the sound transfers between the buds to make you feel as if you are there in person at a concert. Very cool feature but not personally used much because I don’t plan on sitting still too much with these earbuds. But comfort isn't the only area where these earbuds excel. Their secure fit instills confidence, especially during workouts or active pursuits. I can move freely without worrying about them coming loose or falling out, ensuring uninterrupted enjoyment of my music even in the most dynamic of situations. So much better than traditional earbuds that I’ve felt that I need to readjust during a jog or workout. Battery life is another area where the Bose Open Air Earbuds shine. With all-day battery life, I can go about my day without constantly fretting about recharging. Whether I'm commuting, working, or hitting the gym, these earbuds have the stamina to keep up with me every step of the way. And I have worn these earbuds literally all day (for at least an 8 – 10 hour work shift). In terms of aesthetics, these earbuds are nothing short of a fashion statement. The sleek, minimalist design gives them a sophisticated and futuristic appeal, almost resembling jewelry or earrings to onlookers. It's a subtle yet stylish addition to my ensemble, and I having not been a typical person that wears earrings would absolutely wear these in public and have no problem passing them off as gauged hoop earrings. So other than the immersion modes, battery life, and comfort, the overall performance may take a bit of dip for those wanting that super “Bose” hitting bass and sound. Yes, the earbuds sound amazing, and they do get volume and a full spectrum of sound, but, they do get overpowered by your environment sometimes. I love the fact that I can be fully immersed in my music and still be aware of my surroundings as these earbuds do enter the ear canal at all. So much better than the “hear through” option of other earbuds that sounds mechanical or tinny. The open air earbuds allow you to hear as you hear. I can be listening to music and hold a conversation at the same time, simply amazing. Phone calls are a bit of a disappointment. I feel as if I need both buds in to hear my recipient clearly and loud enough. With only one I do not get enough volume to hear even with it at 100%. It may be me needing to adjust to the design, but if that’s all that is a slight negative, I will take it all day with the provided comfort and music quality of these earbuds. In conclusion, the Bose Open Air Earbuds redefine what it means to enjoy music in comfort and style. With their unmatched comfort, lightweight design, secure fit, all-day battery life, and fashionable appearance, they set a new standard for wireless earbuds. If you're in search of earbuds that offer the perfect blend of comfort, performance, and style, look no further than the Bose Open Air Earbuds.

Posted .Hello Ray and thank you for your review!
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the Ultra Open earbuds!
One thing that can help the microphone to work as intended is to make sure nothing is covering the earbuds. If you are wearing headgear, such as hats, headbands or earmuffs, this could muffle the microphone, and as a result, could cause poor or low microphone performance.
If you run into any issues, please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help!
