Hi Jorge, thank you for sharing your experience, and we're really sorry to hear about the damage to your charging case due to water exposure. While the earbuds are designed with some level of water resistance, the charging case is not waterproof and may be vulnerable to moisture damage. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it along to our product team as we continue to improve durability in future designs.

Comfortable but bad UX
on October 17, 2025

Length of ownership:1 month
They are comfortable. Great because I wear glasses and hate in-ear and over the ear headphones. They stay charged for a long time too.
But they have issues with disconnecting. One ear bud will stop connecting randomly. I have to reset them. Not a great user experience.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear the comfort and battery life are working well for you, especially since finding a good fit with glasses can be a challenge. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds offer up to 7 hours of play time and up to 48 hours of standby time (when not playing audio), which makes them a great companion for all-day use.

Exactly what I was looking for

Length of ownership:1 month
This product is exactly what I hoped it'd be. They're so much more comfortable than earbuds that sit inside your ear canal. I also tried cheap options before investing in these, and the sound quality absolutely blows the cheapies out of the water. I love being able to listen to high quality music while still being able to hear emergency vehicles, etc. My only knock is the auto-adjust. It's fine with music, but podcasts sound distinctly off.

I'm impressed

Gender:Male
Length of ownership:1 week
I just got these and they meet all the specifications I wanted and needed. They stay in place during my workouts and runs. The sound is crisp while allowing me to hear my surroundings. I owned the Bose sport earbuds for 3.5 years, I loved them, and they died a month ago. I bought the Bose qc earbuds and they sound great but they fall out all the time. These are perfect and the mic works great.

Unstable Bluetooth Connection
on October 20, 2025
Posted by: Les
Length of ownership:1 year or longer
As with all of the Bose audio products I have used, the Bluetooth connection is unstable and difficult to connect. I spend unbearable time trying to connect to live broadcasts only to give up because the broadcast is half over before I can connect. It sounds great when it works, but time sensitive material is impossible. I have switched back to Nothing ear phones because they connect without fail.
Response from bose.comBy Bose, Customer Support, October 21, 2025
Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're having a hard time connecting your Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. Bluetooth disconnections can occur due to several factors, such as wireless interference, distance from the paired device, low battery levels, or outdated software. Physical obstacles like walls or metal surfaces can also weaken the signal, and in some cases, protective cases or certain devices may interfere with the connection.

Bosé with another great product
on October 21, 2025
Posted by: Los
Gender:Male
Confortable all day wear almost can’t tell I have them on sometimes. A lot better sound quality than I was expecting from this style of ear buds I often forget I don’t have in ear ear buds on. Only complaints are Play button doesn’t always respond so I’ll have to press play on my phone in order to get sound. And audio quality during phone calls leave much to be desired but I already knew phone call quality wasn’t great when I purchased so it’s not much of an issue for me.
