Good, but.....

Bose is synonymous for quality. And, while the Bose Ultra Earbuds are definitely quality, there are drawbacks that could drive some away. While the small, sleek design is lightweight and comfortable to wear, putting them on can be a sometimes quirky and tedious process. Sound quality for videos is solid, but phone call volume is low (even cranked all the way up), and bleed from background noise can hinder some conversations. Audio for music is clear, but don't expect much bottom-end (bass) at all. Unfortunately, it's just not there. Also, the "Immersive Audio" is nice, but it drains the battery at an alarming rate. With it off, you're getting about seven and a half hours to eight hours. With it on however, you're getting between four to four and a half hours. For someone, like me, who wears them while working, it feels like as soon as your put them on, your battery is low, and they need to be re-charged. Maybe this can be fixed in a future firmware update. One can only hope. All in all, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are very nice, there is absolutely no doubt about it. But, the audio idiosyncrasies and inconsistences, middling battery life (with "Immersive Audio" on), and lack of depth in features could be just off-putting enough to keep some consumers at arm's length.

Hi.
Thank you for your feedback. It is great that you are happy with the quality and sound of the earbuds. With the bass of the music, you can adjust this by following the steps here, https://bose.life/3PlXB24. You are correct about the battery life, but with the charging case holding 19.5 hours with a full charge, you can do a 10-minute quick charge that provides up to 2 hours of use. If you need further assistance, please get in touch with us here, https://bose.life/3BgUIIU. We would love to help.

So innovative it seems obvious!

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds solve a couple problems I have always had with wireless earbuds, all day comfort and passive noise cancellation. Sometimes I want to block out the world around me, but more often I find myself wanting to enjoy what I am listening too while I interact with things going on around me. Also most every earbud relies on friction fit to the inner ear canal, which always over time either becomes irritating or the fit eventually wears out to the point the buds wont stay in place. Bose has addressed both of these issues for me and provided incredible sound quality that is immersive while still staying connected to the world around me.

I bought the ear buds and love everything about them. Unfortunately my ear lobes is larger than normal since I was younger. I have to return mines. I’m sad.

I really love these earbuds. For some reason, I can’t wear other buds, but these are perfect.

Great for running

I like to listen to music during my runs. I had been using the SoundSport Free for the last few years and those always worked great for me. Only earbuds I was able to find without the thumping feedback from running. I still have them, but over the years the battery has degraded so much that I can't really use them. I was so disappointed that the SoundSport Free were discontinued, but now I am so grateful you guys have created the Ultra Open earbuds. I like them even more than the SoundSport and I never thought that would be even possible. Sound from the Ultra Open is amazing, fit is amazing, and design is beautiful. Love everything about them. Trying hard to find something to improve on these earbuds may be perhaps the way to adjust the volume. I think adjusting volume may be a common operation and it should not require two separate presses on the earbud. Not a big issue but being a review I figured I had to find something that could be improved. So grateful to have these earbuds. Thank you!

Love them. Great sound. Comfortable. Ear buds never fit in my ears. They hurt my ears and always fall out. These stay in place

Not great for phone calls

The open earbuds are great for comfort and listening to music however when a call comes in they can’t hear very well. I’m told the sound from the caller side is muffled and sounds like a tunnel. I wish these would work for making calls better.
