Great Alternative

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great alternative to traditional earbuds. I'm always hated those because no matter what size fittings I used they made my ears hurt after about 30 seconds. These bothered me at first and I was afraid I was going to have to return them, but I stuck with it and now I just love them! And the Sunset Copper color is to die for!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I understand that these are intended to keep the listener aware and be comfortable. Unfortunately, the sound disparity in comparison to the ultra 2 or over-ear headphones was too significant, and I had difficulty with finding a comfortable placement. I also understand that my intent is to be able to be locked into whatever I'm doing which includes strong noise cancelling, so these were just not quite the right fit.

Hi PettiBear, thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that the Ultra Open Earbuds are quite different from our noise-canceling models, as their open‑ear design focuses on comfort and awareness. If immersive sound and strong noise-cancelling are your priority, one of our QuietComfort Ultra earbuds or our over‑the-ear headphones, options may be a better fit.
We appreciate you giving them a try, and if you’d like help to find the right Bose product for your needs, please contact us at https://bose.life/4dJjAx0.
Thanks again for your honest feedback, it helps us improve and guide others as well.

Hi Iral, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear the Ultra Open Earbuds didn’t fully meet your expectations. Due to their open‑ear design, they’re made to help you stay aware of your surroundings, which can sometimes make sound more noticeable to others during calls compared to traditional in-ear earbuds.
We’d be happy to help you get the best possible experience. Adjusting the call volume, fit, or checking microphone settings may help reduce what others hear. For personalized assistance, please reach out to us directly at https://bose.life/4dJjAx0 and share more details about your device and how you’re using the earbuds.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy I bought these earbuds. Makes listening to music at work easier as I don't always have to stop my music when someone is talking to me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Ultra Open Earbuds as a Christmas gift for myself. The set up was absurdly easy. The online product instructions are excellent. The buds are extremely comfortable, are secure while I'm walking and continually surprise with features that I did not know existed. For example, there will be a brief interruption to a book I'm listening to on Audible to announce the distance walked, the time taken or when I've closed an exercise ring on my app, then it effortlessly slips back to the exact place where the book interruption took place. More important, sound quality is excellent and the choice for complete noise cancellation or partial is quite helpful depending upon the environment (as in not always using complete noise cancellation while walking in a busy area).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really hoping the Ultra Open Earbuds would be great, but unfortunately they broke within a week. The audio quality wasn’t very strong, and the materials felt a bit cheaper than expected. I appreciate the idea behind the product, but the durability just wasn’t there for me.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your honest feedback on the Ultra Open Earbuds. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience. That’s certainly not the quality or durability we aim to deliver. We appreciate you giving the product a try and sharing your thoughts on the audio performance and materials. Your feedback is important to us and helps our teams continue improving our designs.
Since the earbuds broke within a week, this would typically be covered under our warranty, and we’d like the opportunity to make this right for you. Please reach out to us directly at https://bose.life/4dJjAx0, so we can review what happened and assist you with other available options.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review, we truly value your feedback and hope we can turn this experience around.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely comfortable with no ear fatigue. I wouldn't say they are the best sounding Bose headphones I have nor are they good at noise cancellation but that's not why I purchased them. I am constantly wearing in the ear or over the ear headphones and these Ultra Open earbuds are the perfect set to wind down with after a long day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my go to earbuds. I can hear my surroundings and they have great sound. The connectivity works great but I have had some small issues. Good range on Bluetooth. I have used them for running and they are exceptional. Battery life is okay. The charger works well.
