Good for music. Severely lacking for phone use.

I bought the baby blue open ears. Listening to music is quite the experience. Crisp sound while still being able to hear the world around you, which is very important for women's safety. I love that the open ears clip on -- no more ear fatigue from things inserted into my ear! What I don't like is the quality when talking on the phone. Despite my phone and the Bose app being on full volume, it's very hard to hear the other person. I don't know if it's just the ones I got, but this is the second set after Bose replaced the first one for the same problem, so I am extrapolating that this is a problem with the whole lot. I'm willing for Bose to prove me wrong by making mine work as intended.

Only used them a couple of times and impressed with Quality sound and very comfortable. A bit pricey but they’ve worth it. Plus they look pretty awesome

I bought these ultra open earbuds for myself for Christmas. I love how they sound and how they feel in my ears. I also love the color I picked a white and shinny pink.

I have weird shaped ears apparently because all earbuds I have tried have falled out. I had given up on ever having in ear headphones and living with the hair denting over the ear headphones. My husband convinced me to let him buy these for me for Christmas, and boy am I glad he did. These are AWESOME. They sit around the outside of the ear but the sound is incredible, and oh, they do not fall off my ear. I can now run on the treadmill and listen to whatever I want to because these stay put!

Pros & Cons
on December 19, 2024

I’m about 3 weeks in after overly researching trying to find the perfect earbuds. Still deciding if satisfied. They definitely stay in place during active workouts, and allow outside noises to filter in. Amazingly comfortable and don’t come loose during activity. But, if you’re expecting max volume it’s just not there as in ear canal buds are. You can wear them for hours on end with no fatigue. Very poor to use for phone conversations. I’ve been told I sound like I’m in a tunnel to not being heard clearly at all. Finding right position on ear doesn’t take long but obviously not all ears are similar size which directly reflects on how loudly you may hear music. That being said, this may be a complementary pair to use alongside another pair that may hit the mark on different boxes you’d like to check. Wish they increased volume capacity to make music louder, then I could begrudgingly accept the lack of phone usage a bit easier. So, for right now I’m not tossing aside my jaybird vistas yet. Hope this helps someone.

I bought these as a gift to myself, and Wow! The quality is great especially how crisp and clear the music sounds! I also liked how comfortable it felt on the ear and compared to the other competitions, these earbuds stay in place and do not fall out of your ears. Definitely a stand out to the other competitions out there. Definitely recommend!

Had it for 2 weeks. Very comfortable compared to many other earbuds.
But sound levels are faint - a call in a a very quite area works but anywhere else with a little bit of background noise and I can barely hear the vother person
3.5 stars on comfort
0 stars on volume

Comfort is great, battery life is great. Volume is to low, they aren’t good for places with ambient noise like airplanes or wind. The open ear is a great idea.

Hi there - I'm happy that you liked the comfort and battery life of your Ultra Open Earbuds, as well as the open-ear design!
If you find that their volume is too low, then while loud noises such as planes or wind can make your audio content difficult to hear, I would make sure you're wearing your earbuds optimally, as per the following guide:
https://support.bose.com/s/article/ult-headphoneopn-wearing-and-adjusting-your-earbuds---ka08c000001brkkaai?language=en_US
If this doesn't help, then also make sure your mobile device's volume (if separate) is turned up sufficiently. Our product support team will also be happy to provide further troubleshooting assistance, if needed:
