Excellent sound while still being able to hear the world around me. Highly comfortable ear buds, particularly bc I have several ear piercings in each ear. These buds cling comfortably to my ear without squeezing or bothering. No connectivity issues and the Bose app is very helpful for customization.

Horrible I went from having a Probeats to purchasing the Bose and they were not what I expected. Poor quality and I barely could hear and I had to constantly keep repeating myself to who I was speaking with because they couldn't hear me. I returned them and never to repurchase again.

If you have more than 1 ear piercing these earbuds will not fit correctly on your earlobes

Hi Rose! Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern about the fit when wearing multiple ear piercings. Since ear shape and piercing placement vary, we recommend adjusting the earbuds' position to find the most comfortable and secure fit. Many customers with multiple piercings are still able to use the Ultra Open Earbuds comfortably, depending on the size and location of their jewelry. If the earbuds feel secure during use, you'll be able to enjoy their unique open-ear design, which lets you stay aware of your surroundings while experiencing Bose's signature sound quality.

Not for me
I bought a couple weeks ago. I don’t like the way they fit and I don’t like the sound. Will probably return them.

Great Product Until It Stopped Working
I loved these for the first 3 months I had them and then the battery case stopped working well. I can only get one ear bud to charge at a time and have to keep the case on the charger or else it just continually drains battery and the case and the earbuds die. I haven’t been able to get both earbuds to be fully charged in months. Bose support was no help and said they’d send me a replacement for $200 which is what I paid for these on sale in the first place. Will not be buying from Bose again as I cannot believe these weren’t covered under some sort of 6 month warranty at the very least.

Bose experience
The earbuds are very appealing to the eye. When listening to music or watching things on your phone, the sound quality is amazing. When it comes to taking calls, it is very horrible. The other party can sometimes barely hear you unless you’re in a very quiet place.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the design and sound quality of the earbuds. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have two microphones in each earbud, and properly wearing them can greatly improve call quality performance. Blocked microphones may cause poor sound quality for the listener on the other end of the call. Please ensure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear.

Looks and sound great, fitment poor for my ears
I bought these as the in-ear buds in general were causing inner ear issues. Generally pleased with them. Would give 3.5 stars if I could. My first Bose earphones. The sound is very good, maybe the best way to describe the sound is full, vibrant and complete. The build quality is excellent and the aesthetics are excellent, they are a beautiful design. The fitment is innovative but doesn't fit my ears well. When I press the bud into my ear, the sound is amazing but the speakers dont sit close to my ear canal when relying on the fitment. I think the universe fitment doesn't match my ear which is disappointing. Great sound and looks but pricey for them to not fit my ears well.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you’re enjoying the sound quality, design, and build of the Ultra Open Earbuds. It’s great to know the audio performance stands out and delivers that full, vibrant listening experience you described. The open-ear design is meant to offer a comfortable and lightweight alternative to traditional in-ear buds, but we understand that ear shapes vary and that the universal fit may not feel ideal for everyone. Your feedback about needing to press the earbuds closer for optimal sound is especially valuable and will be shared with our product team. We truly appreciate your honest input, as it helps us continue improving both design and comfort. If you’d like, our support team would be happy to provide tips on achieving the best possible fit or discuss other options that may better suit your needs.

Amazing sound and comfort with just one quirk
I am extremely impressed with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds! The design is brilliant – they are incredibly lightweight and so comfortable that I completely forget I'm wearing them. The sound quality is superb, offering amazing clarity and a surprisingly deep space without blocking your ears at all. The only minor downside is that the Bose Music app doesn't show the exact battery percentage of the charging case, so you have to rely on the LED light indicator on the case itself. Other than that, everything is absolutely perfect so far. Highly recommend them!

Worst gift
Never like them worst product. Can't hear anything,
1 reply from Customer Support team - 19 days ago
Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to provide balanced audio while keeping you aware of your surroundings, but we understand performance can vary depending on individual fit and usage conditions. A proper fit is important for both comfort and sound quality. If the earbuds are not positioned correctly, audio and microphone performance may be affected. The barrel of the earbud should not sit in front of your ear, and the button should not face downward. If you’re finding that you can’t hear properly, we recommend reviewing the fit guide to ensure the earbuds are worn correctly. We’d be happy to guide you through adjustments, here’s a helpful resource on how to wear the earbuds: https://bose.life/4xiBsWZ Jelyn - Customer Support

Outer ear Bose with hearing aids
So far I like these a lot. I have hearing aids and these work with those. I.had to take a little more time getting the outer ear Bose in the best position for the best sound.
