Been wearing these for about a month now. Love wearing them, very comfortable, the sound is great but when on a call the caller hears you muffled, you cannot have a clear conversation. Also have to pair my phone with them all the time.

I'm happy you're enjoying the comfort and sound of your Ultra Open Earbuds, Elaine!
If people you're speaking to on calls are hearing you muffled, then try installing firmware update 4.0.22 (or later), which was released to bring enhancements to your far-end call performance via improved voice pickup.
As for the pairing issues you mentioned, try rebooting your smartphone, as this can help to create a more stable Bluetooth connection.

I feel there should be a way to have the music funneled toward the ear canal. I barely hear my music. I won’t return them because the concept is great. I was in a running event and I saw where a runner couldn't hear a runner shouting “passing left” so the slower runner should move to the right. The faster runner had to jump the curb because the slow runner couldn’t hear what was going on because of the ear buds they had on. Wish you made a short extension piece, just to get the music closer to the ear canal without touching. Maybe about 1/8 coned adapter extension would be wonderful. I’m loosing to much of my music. Hope you can develop something. The coned thinking is to direct the music. Trust me it won’t block surrounding sounds.

Thanks for your review of the Ultra Open Earbuds! I'm happy that you like the concept (especially when you're out running), even if you feel that there is room for improvement in the earbuds.
The earbuds are designed to provide a rich, immersive experience, thanks to the Immersive Audio settings available in the Bose app (especially the "Motion" setting). Make sure you give these settings a try. If you experience any other issues with your earbuds, our customer support team will be happy to assist: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

I bought this a few weeks ago- quality of sound is great but it’s not good to use for talking on the phone. Person on the line cannot hear you.
