  • I wanted to like them but the price updated
Color: Black
Usually I say they are good for what it’s worth. In this case, for what I paid for them, they are not worth it. Pro’s: the ear clip/cuff design is different and good, the fit is pretty secure and won’t fall off, comfortable, immersive sound is a plus, turning off the immersive sound and they last longer between charges. When running I hardly noticed I had them on my ears. The sound was good when I was running. I noticed as I was running that the music got louder. I think it was because they settled onto my ear lobes and also I turned the automatic volume control. Cons: too expensive, can’t adjust to being closer to ear canal, left me wanting and expecting more from the ear cuff buds. They seem limited when turning them up to 7 or 8 on the flat setting. Should be priced around the sound core and shokz open fit buds price, maybe even pricing them lower like $125-$150 on the high end. For $300 they should have wireless charging, multi point connectivity. Most of all a larger and louder volume level. I’m returning them. My aftershockz aeropex bone conduction headphones do a better job and lasts my whole 10 hour workday without needing to be charged. Maybe another software update with automatic multipoint switching, adjust the eq curve to have more low end and not cap the bass when playing at a higher volume, and drop the price and they would an awesome product. Update 3/12/2024 So I returned my first pair of ultra earbuds, and got a set of Shokz open fit earbuds. I tried those on for some time and really like how they performed overall. But somehow I started to miss the bose earbuds, and wanted to compare how they went up against the Shokz offering. The price is still steep, but I had an amazon gift card balance of $157 so I went ahead and bought the Bose to do the comparison. The fit was excellent as before, the sound is excellent, I registered them to get the two year nose warranty as I can see these being replaced sometime in September the future. The Shokz are really good and probably rank them as one of the best hook buds in the market. For me and my ears, the Bose and the Shokz are an excellent buy. They both are light and fitment is excellent, the sound is superb, the call quality I give to Shokz, the update happened to both and somehow the call quality on the bose really improved. I still prefer the physical button over the touch sensitive approach that Shokz went with. I still like the Bose ear cuff design vs the earhook. So which do I prefer. Running and exercising-Bose without a doubt, mountain biking and any sport with a lot of wind noise-Shokz hands down. 3/19/2024 I started noticing the Bose ultra open buds starting to lose connection when putting them on. The right ear would get the connected prompts, but the left would not connect and when it does connect, it loses drops connection a couple of time more than connects and syncs up with the right ear. I’m going to request for a replacement pair. Overall, these are excellent buys if you have a gift card balance to buy down these buds. The Shokz were on sale so I returned my black pair and got the white pair. I had some Amazon credits and used those credits to buy the Shokz at much lower price. 3/29/2024 Bose pushed an update to the open ultras (version 1.10.4). The audio sounded clearer, the connection issue seems to have been resolved, I noticed while doing yard work that my Bose lasted approximately 5 hours on the immersion setting. No multipoint connectivity like the Shokz open fits have. Also, I saw that Bose released a wireless charging case on their website for $50. I decided to not get the wireless charging case because I was already used to the usb-c plug approach. ... show more

  • With Update: Five Stars So Far (But Don't Plan On Wearing Earrings With Them)
Color: Midnight Violet
Update, April 3, 2026 - if you plan on using these while on the phone, I would recommend finding different earbuds. Since owning these I have received calls from both my father and a good friend while wearing them. My dad I could tell was having a very hard time hearing me, and my friend said I was cutting in & out so after half an hour I took them off and put him on speaker and then he commented he must have been driving in a bad area cuz suddenly he could hear me so much more clearly. (He didn't know I'd removed my earbuds and was speaking directly into the phone.) No one has ever accused me of being soft-spoken, so it wasn't that I was in an echo-y spot or speaking quietly. Both conversations I was just sitting in my bedroom. I know a lot of people still talk on the phone and use earbuds while doing so; so if you do, I cannot recommend these for you. I see below other reviewers have mentioned this as well. Luckily I rarely talk on the phone so this does not affect me much. I've been using these for four days now, and without having read other reviews which could influence mine, can give my unbiased opinion. Will of course update if I experience issues. Who I am and how I use them: *I wanted earbuds for work and weightlifting at the gym. As people frequently talk to me both places, I was intrigued by the open-ear concept. *I walk outside in nice weather too, and as a female want to be very aware of what's around me. Yes, other earbuds have a transparency/passthrough mode but I've never found that to work well myself. *Earbuds that will not fall out/off are a must. Delivery: Despite the 5-star rating, I was instantly disappointed in the shipping time. I ordered them with a delivery date of the 13th. On that day the package never showed as Out For Delivery and I knew I was in trouble. Sure enough, on the 14th when I checked I then had a delivery date of February 18. I was pretty incensed... what if these would've been a Valentine's Day gift? (It was an Amazon seller, not Amazon as the seller for this Midnight Indigo color...) Surprisingly, they delivered the 16th so it was a good thing I happened to be home. Not sure they'd have been left for me as the UPS driver rang the bell twice before I got to the door, so they seemed determined to physically give them to the recipient. But I did have to go a couple workouts without these due to the unexplainedly-delayed delivery. Unboxing & Setup: *The earbuds had a full charge when I got them; the case had some charge. Could use them immediately. *I felt dubious actually handling them at first. Once I actually figured out how to put them on properly, I downloaded the Bose app and did all the sound selections etc. which I do recommend doing! *The earbuds connected to my iPhone 15 Pro without me having to go through the process of pushing the button on the case to be discoverable-- very nice. *I love that there's a Shortcut to switch between devices and it announces which device you've switched to so you know. I like to preserve my iPhone battery sometimes by connecting my headphones to my work PC, but there are times I need to switch audio between the two and I like that it's quick and easy. Style, Sound & Comfort: *They are very comfortable, and I am absolutely blown away by how good they sound. *They have fabulous battery life too. *They look really cool (immediately told to me by my coworker.) Seeing them on me in the gym mirror this morning I confirmed that to be true when I really looked. *Once you have them on and take a lil time to get used to them, you don't even feel them on your ears. *I will mention that if you wear earrings, especially dangly ones, the magnetic battery-charging part on the back of the barrel WILL magnetize your earring or earring back to it. I was SO seriously disappointed by that. The first day I wore them to work I had to take off my hoop earrings because the magnetizing couldn't be stopped, and it was pulling my earrings (and thus my earlobes) backwards. That was really uncomfortable. Very sad about that!!! *As a 45yo with lifelong tinnitus, I worry about being a deaf old person so I have protected my hearing as best I can for many years, and it makes me feel better that these are open-ear and thus not plugging my ear canal with sound being directed into the enclosed space. I understand you can still damage your hearing if it's too loud, but 99% of the time I listen to things on the absolute lowest level I can hear anyway. *I genetically have very small ear canals and being open-ear, these solved that problem! Even with the smallest ear tips that most earbuds come with, they're too big and don't fit and hurt being crammed into my ear canal (not to mention then the noise cancellation doesn't really work AND the ear tips are constantly squeezing themselves out of my ear canals.) *Also I asked my other half if he could hear the song I was listening to, and he said no from two feet away, so there doesn't appear to be sound leakage to those around you. I'd turned it up significantly before asking, too. Other Thoughts: *When at the gym, when people talk to me it I hear it as clearly as if I wasn't wearing earbuds. That is SO nice. Same at work... I don't have to pull off headphones or pull out an earbud and ask, "Sorry, what??" It's been a game-changer in that respect. I have worn these outside on a walk and could clearly hear people approaching behind me. If you are looking to listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks but want/need to be able to hear your surroundings clearly, these are for you. They also did not budge whatsoever when I laid flat for bench presses, did floor crunches, or walked; yet they do not pinch the ear or cause discomfort. *I suggest getting an earbuds case for easy portability, to prevent losing them, and to protect the Bose case from scratches. *You can download the Bose app and use it without making an account, which was a relief. We all have too damn many needless accounts. Kudos to Bose for that. *In the back of my mind I worry about the uncurling you have to do in order to put the earbuds on your ears. I previously had Beats Fit Pros and LOVED them, but even though I was overly gentle with them, both my wingtips eventually cracked after a couple of years. They still looked & sounded perfect and had amazing battery life too, so I was heartbroken to have to stop using them, but the rubber was flaking around the cracks and falling off into my ear canals. I hope that with these being thicker and less flexible than the wingtips, that these earbuds wouldn't crack or degrade. ... show more

  • Should be recalled or removed from the market
Color: Black
I would like to start this off by saying that I love the fit of these earbuds and think they sound great, I've tried most of the open wireless earbuds on the market and these are by far the most comfortable and convenient to use. That said the quality control and functionality of these 300 DOLLAR wireless earbuds is an absolute embarrassment. They are plagued with connectivity issues and manufacturing defects. I got lucky with my first pair and was able to use them daily for nearly a year and put up with the connectivity issues because when they worked I really enjoyed them, but after about 6 months the batteries started failing sooner and sooner until the right side started dying after 2-3 hours while the left was at 50% charge. Thankfully I had the forethought to buy a 2 year protection plan and was able to replace them, but this new pair I just received was defective straight from the factory. Now as for the features the multipoint connectivity seems to work well enough, though both sources cannot play simultaneously and there is 5-10 seconds of dead air while it switches sources. The spatial audio is neat and works well but it is a pointless gimmick that doesn't add any value. The microphone sounds horrible and is offensive to anyone on the receiving end of your call. The charging case is a nice size and shape and the earbuds snap in nicely but you have to be very careful to make sure the pins are making solid contact or one or both sides might be dead when you go to use them again, and it doesn't support wireless charging unless you buy a separate poorly fitting TPU sleeve that fits over the original case and adds bulk for $30-50. I will be replacing this defective pair and plan to use it until it fails again and I can make an insurance claim but any perspective buyers need to realize these are one of if not the most expensive wireless earbuds on the market and the value you are getting for your money is pathetic. Bose has had this product on the market for over a year and they have released some minor firmware updates that improved the connectivity a decent amount compared to the launch (it was unusably bad) but their quality control has not improved whatsoever. Knowing that Bose is shamelessly selling this poorly manufactured and feature incomplete product for double the price of any of their competition has really soured my view of the company and I won't be using any Bose products going forward. I wish I could recommend these because they are so comfortable and sound so good what you are getting for $300+ is just unacceptable, Bose would have to issue a recall of all existing units and half the price before I could recommend these to anyone. ... show more

  • Premium Sound Quality at a Premium Price
Color: Desert Gold
I have been an immediate adopter of the open earbud style of earbuds for numerous reasons. With the open earbud design you never get any pinching of your ears or require any extra loops or holders to keep the buds together. With in ear buds there's obviously an inability to hear your surroundings and requires taking out the ear buds and for my personal ears they don't always fit correctly and the fact that they fit in so air tight is something I don't necessarily desire. There's also a bit of an intangible negative with sticking something into your ear where cleanliness is important in order to have a tight fit and not cause ear infections and other issues of the sort. Originally I had begun using open ear buds with a different cheaper brand of open earbuds which were entirely "acceptable" they worked and I would have never questioned the quality. For sake of comparison I originally had the Soundcore C30i open earbuds which I chose to mostly see if I enjoyed the style of buds and man I really do. On top of my previous reasons for enjoying open ear buds the Bose Ultra Open buds I also see as fairly stylish and almost an accessory if I am to wear them out in public. Despite a seeming strange design to view in a picture they really make a lot of sense to wear more so than the alternative that I had tried. They're rubberized around the majority of the construction which makes them feel comfortable in all angles and will never feel scratchy whatsoever on any part of your ear while still feeling 1000% secure. These are not heavy at all and are easily ignorable while wearing, a multi faceted benefit as I'm also not spending the time fiddling with the fit they just work for me no fuss at all while be surprisingly comfortable. Now the real benefit is actually the sound quality. Obviously these are not an inexpensive item these cost quite a bit but if you find this design to be your liking I've found the sound quality to practically be as good as many full size non noise canceling headphones. You are getting the full range of sound you are not missing the bass it's not like the whole low end is missing which I've experienced with several other non in ear buds or earpieces. I still occasionally go back and forth between different earbuds when these run out of batteries and it is shocking how much worse other things will sound in comparison. I literally spent months without hearing an entire range of sound and I quite literally immediately noticed the increase in quality the second I tried these. I'm the kind of person who uses these everyday for hours at a time and I believe if you are someone who might find similar use it is time to invest. I have had very few issues with the Bose Ultra Open buds in general over months of use at this point other than one thing which seems to be by design, the right bud always runs out of battery before the left. Presumably that is the master bud for receiving the signal when both are in use though you can use them individually with no issues whatsoever. I am often connected to both my phone and my PC and have had few issues with that simultaneous uses. Occasionally experiencing media being paused on one because of the other. Occasionally phone calls are not coming through correctly when media is taking over on my PC during a call. Rarely do I have issues with connecting to anything via bluetooth and if I ever have it has never taken anything more than simply placing them back in the case and removing them after a few seconds. The range of these covers what I believe to be a fairly standard bluetooth type range it can make it through some walls and doors maybe somewhere around 40 feet depending on interference with the signal. The battery life also is respectable I would say I can get a somewhat consistent 9 or so hours of fairly constant use per charge before they both are depleted. The charging time is also some short amount of time maybe around 15-20 minutes for a 100% charge. If you enjoy this style and want premium quality this is it. ... show more

  • Quality is bad when doing phone calls.
Color: Driftwood Sand
Purchased these for my husband for when he's working out listening to music & taking phone calls while working. The headphones aren't good for phone calls at all. Besides that? These headphones are decent. My husband is sensitive with his ears and headphones because a lot aren't comfortable but these actually are comfortable for his picky ears. The sound is good when your listening to music & battery life does lasts long. But when he does phone calls , the quality & sound quality is horrible. If your using these headphones for listening to music or audio ONLY? These would be a good option for you. If u like taking phone calls while wearing your headphones then I do not recommend these at ALL. Could you purchase good quality headphones for a cheaper price than about $300? Yes, Absolutely. I don't mind paying more for excellent quality of a product but unfortunately the quality of these headphones aren't worth the price & I wouldn't purchase these again considering that price. ... show more

  • Good but could be better
Color: Lunar Blue
I purchased the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds on July 7, 2026, and unfortunately I’m already looking for another pair of earbuds. Within the first few days, one earbud would randomly disconnect from my phone and become completely unresponsive. The only way to get it working again was to put it back in the charging case and leave it there for about five minutes. That’s not something I’d expect from a premium product. The sound is bass-heavy, which I enjoy, and overall audio quality is very good. On flights and in other noisy environments, they sound noticeably better than my Oladance OWS2 and SHOKZ OpenFit. People also hear me more clearly during phone calls. These are very comfortable to wear. They stay securely in place, although I have to find the right position to avoid pressure on my ears during extended listening sessions. Compared with my Apple AirPods Max, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are much more comfortable for long periods of wear. However, the noise isolation is nowhere near as effective. I understand these are open earbuds and aren’t designed to block outside noise, but I was still hoping for a better listening experience on flights. Overall, these are among the most comfortable earbuds I’ve used, with excellent sound for an open-ear design and good call quality. Unfortunately, the connectivity issues and limited performance in noisy environments mean they don’t fully meet my needs. If your priorities are comfort and staying aware of your surroundings, these are an excellent choice. If, like me, you spend a lot of time flying and want stronger noise reduction, you may want to look elsewhere. ... show more

  • Good open earbuds
Color: White Smoke
I have used these about a year they are good sounding open earbuds, if regular earbuds bother you from that pressurized feeling these solve that. There is no noise canceling these are made to be able to hear things around you while you listen and the open ear design has a better feeling to me. When you first start wearing them you might feel discomfort if it shifts on a tiny bone in your ear just adjust it slightly on ear will fix it, that happens more when laying back my head on something and they shift. Also there is a sweet spot for sound but that is any earbud, can be a big difference in sound how you sit them, try pulling them forward on ear and shifting them up or down. These Bose earbuds I like how TV, audiobooks, sports and podcasts sound with them the voice is clear, movies your maybe better off with headphones for though. I sleep with them on at times to help me fall asleep, for this they work better than most regular earbuds because of no pressure inside the ear and they tend not to fall out, but if your using them to block out sounds other earbuds will work better with noise canceling, headphones would be best except I have broken some doing that shifting in sleep. I never had a problem with battery it is always long enough about 7 hours and with the case they are almost always charged. Another good thing about these earbuds and Bose the software has quick switching bluetooth devices holding down an ear button I can switch between 3 devices this is one of its best features easily switch to new device quickly. Also use the app you can change what the buttons do and EQ. ... show more

  • Disappointed...Connection issues + Poor Call Quality
Color: Diamond 60th Anniversary Edition
I've bought about 20 different pairs of earbuds searching for the best and after returning every pair I finally decided to get these (reluctantly due to the cost), but Bose is such a great brand and for $300 I assumed they'd be perfect quality for heavy use in my personal and professional life. After a few weeks and now on a replacement pair, I'm very disappointed. Pros.... I love the fit and comfort, I'm obsessed with this open ear style because I hate the earbuds that stick in your ear, they hurt and since I wear these all day for work comfort is crucial along with being able to hear my surroundings. I also love that I was able to buy a wireless charging case. It's so easy to charge my iphone, watch and the earphones on my 3 in 1 charger. Especially when I travel I only need 2 charger and it's so convenient. The sound quality is also amazing when listening to music. Cons....Connection in general is frustrating. It has dual connection features so I had it connected to my phone and computer. However I have so much trouble keeping them connected to 1 device and not switching back and forth. There have even been times my device says it's playing sound through the earphones but nothing is coming out. I work mainly on Microsoft teams and it's impossible not to have problems when I get a phone call while I'm on a teams meeting. When it is working on Teams the sound quality has been solid but there's frustration getting it to stay connected. I had similar issues on Google meet. The other major issue is phone calls. This is where most of the trouble is. I've had complaints that I'm echoing, garbled, faint, in a wind tunnel and just people think I'm using a $10 pair of earphones. The left ear always drops too. Its been so bad on calls I'm now asking every couple of minutes 'can you hear me ok??'. I've tried all troubleshooting too, spent way too much time with Bose support, and am even on my second pair thinking the first was defected. I'm very ready to return these for a refund but I'm giving these a little more time and also testing the JVC open earcuffs and honesty they are a 3rd the cost of Bose, and so far more reliable and also great sound quality (but no ability to wireless charge so I'm hanging on to the Bose as long as I can in hopes my call issues will improve). Unfortunately, I can't recommend these if you want to use them for anything but listening to music. It pains me to give this review because I want these to work so badly!! ... show more
