Sound is phenomenal!!

Let me start by saying that the sound is absolutely phenomenal and Bose level considering these are open earbuds, something that I didn’t know was possible. I’m really “really” blown away by the sound quality and almost perplexed as to how Bose has made these open earbuds work. Great great job by Bose! These earbuds doesn’t have noise cancellation feature but has different modes as per need and they work really well. My favorite mode is definitely immersive mode which makes you really hone in and listen to tiniest of sound effects as possible. Also when you move your head from left to right, the sound gets focused on that part of your head where you’re turning.
Saying this, you could use these at gym if you wanna be aware of your surroundings and listen to anything but I would not use these for a phone call at a busier place. I mean you can but all the different sounds are gonna infiltrate your ears since there open earbuds. But at the same time, these are absolutely great if you wear them around the house listen to music or watch something whilst wanting to be aware of your surroundings. I have used them in the night so that I can be aware of my dog barking if she has to go out or they could be a great fit if you have kids as well.
The only con for me with these earbuds is that I don’t like the feeling of a pinching feeling around my earlobes. I’m a simple man who doesn’t wear earrings and have sensitive earlobes so wearing them for prolonged amount of time can really be too much for me and that is the only reason why I’m giving them a 4/5 stars. These wouldn’t be my first choice to buy or wear for long periods of time unlike other Bose earphones/headphones but I still cherish them cuz they’re a Bose product. Bose is the brand I have trusted for last 20 years of my life and I only buy and will always buy Bose products since I have been fascinated with them since my teen years.

Finally! The perfect earbuds!

I was just talking to my son about how I can't seem to find earbuds that work for my tiny ears. I've tried them all. My two main complaints regarding the ones I had tried is that they would fall out and if they did stay in, they would be very uncomfortable and I could only wear them for a limited time. THEN I got an email from BOSE about the Ultra Open Earbuds. I thought to myself "Self...why not give them a try". WOW! They are perfect. The unique design keeps the Earbuds securely attached to my ear without causing any discomfort. The sound is great and they very easy to control. An added bonus for me (since I like to wear them in environments where I need to stay aware of what's going on around me) is that they don't block out the ambient noise. This is crucial if you wear them while walking. I would highly recommend these to anybody and everybody...but especially to people who have small ear openings.

They disappear on the ear

I've had these for two weeks and put them to the test! Absolutely love the all day comfort. They look strange but they quickly disappear on your ears with all a day comfort without that ear canal pain of other ear buds. I work from home and love to listen to music throughout the day.
They have been equally great around the house with two little ones I can still hear their demands while listening to a podcast or music. Why is that the case well they are not blocking the ear canal so I can still hear my surroundings. The other really cool feature is to be able to pair with my Bose 700 soundbar. I like to listen to a show with my wife. We of course fight about the volume. I like to watch a little louder than her. Maybe all those head banging shows in my younger years. So I know it sounds strange but is really is awesome I’ve done this previously with on ear but you cannot really interact with the person sitting with you watching.

Comfortable fit & great sound

With the Ultra-Open-Earbuds, I don’t have to worry about a perfect fit into my ear, which never occurs, and the sound is incredible. In my experience over the last several months, these buds remain stably attached to my ear even while I exercise. I avidly recommend the Ultra Open Earbuds to everyone.

Mostly great…
on March 2, 2024
Posted by: TimothyE
I bought a set of Bose Ultra Open earbuds recently. Delighted with how quickly they were delivered. They were simple to set up and connect to the iPhone. Sound quality is superb, save for the popping and snapping sounds that occurred frequently enough to be disturbing. The sounds are emitted from both earbuds, usually beginning from the right ear and immediately from the left.

Thanks for your review, Timothy! I'm happy to see that you enjoyed the simple setup, and are enjoying the sound, of your Ultra Open Earbuds.
If you're hearing occasional popping and snapping sounds, this would hint at Bluetooth connection issues. Make sure your product is within 10 metres of your mobile device, and bring this device to the front of the body, to eliminate body-block interference. If the popping sounds persist, our customer support team will provide further assistance. See here: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US

Just love how they fit/feel. So nice to hear the world also. Wish the kids would get these. They never can hear me with the equipment stuck down their ear canals.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
on March 1, 2024

Length of ownership:1 month
For open ear buds I have to say it’s the best money can buy right now. I tried at least 4 other pair of high end open ear buds and they didnt come close to the Bose Ultra Open Ear buds. These are extremely comfortable the sound is great. Some people complain you dont get noise cancelling, well they are open ear buds thats not possible, if you want noise cancelling then get in ear earbuds dont knock open ear buds for not having it. The sound wont be intense on the open ear buds as it is with in ear ear buds but again REMEMBER they are open ear ear buds so set your expectations and use common sense for how they are designed. Decide what you prefer with ear buds then choose the in ear or open ear ear buds based on what your looking for. Personally for me I have both in ear and the open ear ear buds and use them base on my surrounding and how Im using them. But so far I seem to be using the open ear about 85% of the time. They are so much more comfortable and when Im in certain places I want to be able to hear around me which is most of the time. For me the Bose Ultra Open Ear buds hit the mark perfectly for me, yeah they are expensive but for what it gives me the price doesnt bother me. I rather pay $300 for quality open ear buds like the Bose rather than throw away $175 for crapping open ear buds that I have tried.
