Q: How are phone calls answered with these earbuds?

submitted by Joan - 7 months ago
  • A: From other reviews across different platforms these earbuds are not the best options when answering phone calls because of the open earbud concept.

    submitted byjaci esparza - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi Joan, thanks for reaching out about Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Bluetooth Open Earbuds You can perform tasks like answering calls using the button that is on both earbuds. You can view the exact controls in the manual Bose has online at: https://assets.bosecreative.com/m/17493be771cf1216/original/889371_OG_ULT-HEADPHONEOPN_ml.pdf If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    submitted byMike - 4 months ago

Q: I have hearing aides will these interfere with the sound or how they clip onto my ears. I didn't see any pictures of how these look from the side and back of the ear

submitted by Donna - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi Donna, thanks for reaching out about Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Bluetooth Open Earbuds The earbud sits in the ear cavity and loops around the cartilege of your ear. This design is less than ideal for utilization alongside hearing aids. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

    submitted byJustin - 6 months ago
    Target expert support
  • A: The Ultra Open Earbuds are uniquely designed to attach to a part of the ear that doesn't interfere with most glasses, hats or piercings. Therefore, you're welcome to give it a try. If your hearing aids do touch the product, that’s no problem as long as the earbuds remain comfortable and secure.

Q: Can people around you hear what you're listening to?

submitted by Ash - 8 months ago
  • A: Hi Ash, thanks for reaching out about the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Bluetooth Open Earbuds. Other people won't be able to hear your music when you're wearing Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. The earbuds use Bose's OpenAudio technology to minimize sound spillage and direct audio into the ear canal. However, if you turn the volume up all the way in a very quiet environment, others may be able to hear that something is playing, but they won't be able to hear any detail unless they get very close. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7 am-11 pm CST.

    submitted byRena - 8 months ago
    Target expert support
  • A: Our Bose OpenAudio technology will direct rich, deep audio into your ear canals whilst minimizing sound spillage in other directions. Therefore, in most environments and at most listening levels, people around you won’t hear a thing. If you turn up the volume all the way in a very quiet environment, others may hear that something is playing from your earbuds, but they won’t be able to hear any details unless they get very close.

    seemerun - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
    I’ve had them a few weeks now and I’m a fan. Love the color, and love how they actually stay in my ears unlike AirPods. Also love that I can still hear what’s going on around me (I don’t necessarily want these for noise cancelling). I’ve noticed a little glitchy noise here and there sometimes when they are first connecting to my phone but really no complaints at all. At this point I don’t think I’ll ever go back to Apple AirPods - they were constantly falling out of my ears and it drove me crazy.

    Had for a few weeks now and my biggest issue is they don’t have good sound quality on phone calls. Sounds like I’m in a big hall or room. Sounds like I’m off in the distance. Doesn’t matter how much I turn up the volume. Music sound or listening to TV or computer is good. Better than my Powerbeats in that regard. Only reason for 4 stars in durability is because I don’t yet know how these are going to hold up.

    I wear headphones mostly for gaming and music. The best thing about these headphones is that I can hear myself when talking and I don't sound like I'm underwater like with over the ear headphones. They are also very comfortable such that I regularly forget I have them on. I have had to re-pair to my computer a couple times, but it is easy enough.

    My issue is that others can hear your music. And the volume is not loud enough even on the loudest.
    1 reply from Customer Support team - 16 days ago
    Hello Inez, I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your Ultra Open Earbuds. Due to their design and open factor, if you play your music at full volume you will experience sound leakage. If you opt for a more in-ear design, such as the QuietComfort Earbuds, you won't experience this. If you have any questions, you can always contact us: https://bose.life/3rykPZR Best regards, Lau - Customer Support

    I am not happy that there is not a quick stop button or that they are not independent. I may return them. Sound quality is to muffled. It's like they tried to cram a surround sound into a tiny ear. MUFFLED!

    Thank you for leaving a review! We’re sorry to hear the sound quality didn’t meet your expectations. The muffled sound you described might be related to fit, EQ settings, or even the audio source, and we’d be happy to help troubleshoot that with you.
