Awesome earbuds for awareness
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by saying these are not for everyone. These are awesome earbuds depending on your needs. The sound is crisp, the battery life is great, bass is good. How they clip onto your ear is very cool and innovative. I can wear these headphones at work the entire 12 hours comfortably. They are very pricey but worth it to me because I need to be aware of my surroundings and the sound is amazing. I turned on the immersive feature and it’s like you have music playing in your head, I love it. Again, very pricey at $300.00 but what do you expect they are Bose. No noise canceling on these for obvious reasons. If you like to jog outside or want to use them for work these are perfect for you. If you’re looking for perfect sound/bass with noise canceling do not buy these. There are a ton of better options. These are specifically meant for people who want to be aware of outside noises/surroundings. If you have issues with real earbuds falling out or are hurting your ears, these are for you. These earbuds just clip onto your ear with ease. I love the premium feel of the case as well.

Great sounding earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these the other week and have not been disappointed. The sound quality is excellent and there is plenty of bass for me. I can still hear things around me with these earbuds in and they are extremely comfortable to wear. One of the biggest things ive never liked about most earbuds is they always feel like theyre falling out of my ears. Not these! They feel very stable in my ears and are not annoying to wear in the least. I absolutely love the unorthodox design. These are light years better than the Powerbeats Pro i purchased last year. If you don’t mind dropping $300 on a pair of earbuds, these are very well worth the money. I would give them 6 stars if i could.

Exceptional Sound and Unmatched Comfort!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds for a few weeks now, and they are absolutely incredible! The open-ear design is a game-changer, allowing me to stay aware of my surroundings while enjoying rich, high-quality sound. Bose has nailed it with their signature audio clarity—every note and beat sounds crisp and immersive. Pros: Comfort: These earbuds are so lightweight and comfortable that I sometimes forget I’m wearing them. Perfect for long listening sessions! Sound Quality: The bass is surprisingly robust for open-ear earbuds, and the mids and highs are clear without being harsh. Build: The White Smoke finish looks sleek and premium, and the earbuds feel durable. Battery Life: I’ve been able to use them for hours without needing to recharge, which is a huge plus. Cons: Noise Isolation: Because of the open-ear design, they aren’t ideal for very noisy environments. But that’s a fair trade-off for the safety and awareness they offer. Overall, these earbuds are perfect for anyone who prioritizes comfort and situational awareness without compromising sound quality. Highly recommend for daily use, workouts, or commuting. Bose has once again set a high bar for audio technology!

Lots to be Desired
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these headphones so I could hear while exercising and have a routine alternative to the ear wax collecting AirPods. I was very impressed with the sound quality of the open ear design upon initial listening in my car. The Spatial Audio sounded amazing and immersive when listening to voice audio and some songs. After some use, I found I was losing sound quality if I didn’t adjust the headphones just right in my ear, I could never seem to consistently find the sweet spot. Phone calls are absolutely horrible due to the low quality microphone. I contacted Bose about the issue and they had no resolution to the problem and could only offer to swap the device; the issue is the components not my item specifically. Needless to say, I talk all call directly on my phone when I’m using these. The case is built with surprisingly low quality plastic. The lid feels like it can be easily crushed or broken with the wrong move unlike the AirPods case. Sometimes the headphones will lose synchronization between each other resulting in audio in only one bud which can only be resolved by placing the pods back in the case. The battery life is sufficient and I can use the device all day without needing a charge. They are comfortable and it’s easy to forget you have them one. In loud outdoor spaces like walking downtown or in a mall the audio is very washed out. When I use these in quite location they are great for listening to YouTube, podcast and music. The audio profile is rather good when you have the on properly and there’s no excessive noise. I do use them for casual listening to audio content as I stroll around the house or in the city because I can still interact with people while I have background music playing and I avoid the ear wax magnets (AirPod). I would not recommend these for travel, gym or as wireless phone. They are great for running and casual listening in low to moderate noise environments. I personally would not buy them again unless Bose fixed the mic issue.

Posted .Thanks for your review of the Ultra Open Earbuds, Michael!
I'm very happy to hear that you like the earbuds' OpenAudio and Immersive Audio sound technology, as well as their comfort and battery performance.
The charging case is designed to be durable and to protect your earbuds; nonetheless, I would recommend handling the case with general care. If you're finding it difficult to maintain the perfect fit, the following article will help you to wear and adjust your earbuds correctly: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001pWLKAA2&language=en_US.
As for phone calls, Bose has recently released firmware update 4.0.22 (and later) to improve the customer's experience on calls. Therefore, make sure you're using the latest firmware; the Bose app will announce all new firmware versions, so that you can download them.
Warm regards

Favorite daily earbuds!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to try open earbuds and bone conduction headsets so I first tried the Shokz open run pros, they were okay but sound leaks a lot at a medium level of volume. So I opted to these and they are my favorite, I reach for these every single day over my airpod pros 2nd gen. The sound quality is great for open earbuds and bass is pretty decent but the comfort is amazing; no ear fatigue whatsoever it’s pretty scary how you can forget they’re even clipped onto your ears. Overall, I would say they are fantastic but the price is a little steep that’s about it.

Best buds ive ever had!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off I want to say as someone with bad ear fatigue and swollen ears from any earbuds that go in-ear this is legit the best thing to ever happen to me!! Now let me tell you why. First off sound quality, the sound quality is phenomenal but its not just ordinary sound. The sound is so hard to explain its like a movie theater is constantly following you around everywhere you go. Because its open and not inside your ear I feel like the sound is more natural and feels like you can touch the sound rather it being locked up in your head. I could go on all day long about the sound but lets talk about the comfort. As someone who can only use headphones because earbuds are so uncomfortable these really change the game. If you put these on right it fits perfectly and does not fall out. Ive worn these today for a total of 8 hours and a lot of the times I totally forgot they were even in. I tested them walking around the store doing some chores and even laying around and it didnt cause any problems. They are very lightweight so you dont have to worry about it weighing your ears down or falling down. Some more perks that are very nice to have are all the modes they offer I wont list them but the bose app offers different sound settings to choose from to enhance your experience. For the mic/phonecalls I don’t really know but I also don’t care. I give these a 5 star because of sound and comfort. I truly can’t explain how balanced and comfortable these earbuds are. Buy them and you will see

Decent 2nd attempt at open ear. Improvement needed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headset is very comfortable, lightweight, and easy to use while sounding great when listening to music. I tend to use them mainly for calls which is where it fell short big time. They let in way too much background noise to a point that had people asking me if I had a different set to use or they would get irritated by the noise they were hearing. This really made the price too high. Would love for Apple and Beats to try their hand at open ear.

Good. Wireless charging would've made it perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it. It serves the purpose of enjoying music while still being aware of the surroundings. It's like the old Bose Soundwear around the neck, but lighter, more comfortable, and fits in the pocket. And it looks cool! :) One star off (debating two) because I'm disappointed it doesn't support wireless charging like my QuietComfort Earbuds. For the price, you would expect that feature, which is available to most other products nowadays. :(

The best open earbuds i have owned by far!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ever since i purchased these bose ultra open air earbuds they have been everything i was looking for in a pair of daily driver earbuds and more, i want looking for anything noise canceling because I have kids and also my job for working in a steel mill i need to be very aware of my surroundings, but at the same time i need to stay connected to my phone because my company uses Microsoft teams to chat and message with so these make everything convenient for me because i Wear a hardhat and safety glasses and these do not get in the way of either piece of equipment i Wear and are very very comfortable for all day and night use, the volume on these are loud enough and the call quality is good enough, we'll done Bose.

Great open ears earbuds
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They feel comfortable and have excellent sound quality. They wrap securely around your ear without being too tight. You might need to adjust them every now and then to get the perfect angle into your ear canal.

Best BOSE Earbuds ever!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Bose QuietComfort Ultra True Wireless ear buds, and really liked them, but they kept falling out. I tried this one, and it is a GAME-CHANGER!!! It doesn't have the noise-canceling of the QuietComfort, but it is still great sound, and no worry about them falling out. Excellent sound quality and very, very comfortable for all-day wear!

Comfortable and great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When they work, they work great. I’ve had a few disconnecting issues, but nothing I couldn’t fix on my own. I don’t like that you have to use the Bose app to pair them. I can’t connect them to my kindle paperwhite. Other than that they are fantastic. Easy to put on, stay put, comfortable even with multiple piercings in each ear.
