stopped recharging after a few months - out of warranty of course
Good sound quality, excellent comfort, decent bluetooth range, but unacceptable durability/battery life. After less than 12 months one of the ear buds stopped charging. Out of warranty, Bose wants to charge me $200 to replace them.

Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the great sound quality, excellent comfort, and decent Bluetooth range of your Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. We're sorry to hear, however, that the earbuds did not fully meet your expectations when it comes to durability and battery performance. We understand how frustrating that can be. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to provide a unique combination of innovative open-ear design, premium audio performance, and all-day comfort. With their cuff-like fit and OpenAudio technology, they allow you to stay aware of your surroundings while enjoying rich, private sound. They are also designed to provide up to 7 hours of play time (up to 4 hours with Immersive Audio or Auto Volume enabled), as well as additional battery life using the charging case. Regarding the charging issue, we recommend inspecting the charging pins inside the charging case and ensuring they are fully extended and moving freely. If a pin appears stuck, recessed, or does not spring back properly, it may prevent proper contact with the earbud and result in charging issues. We also suggest cleaning both the earbuds and the charging contacts to ensure they are free from dust or debris. For additional troubleshooting, please refer to the following guide: https://bose.life/4vuqFr8 We hope these steps help resolve the issue and improve your experience. If the problem persists, please contact our Customer Support team through the link below so they can review your available service options and provide further assistance: https://bose.life/contactus Sophie - Bose Customer Support

Uncomfortable
I am debating on whether or not to return these earbuds. I love the sound quality. I love the aspect of open ear. I do not enjoy the fit. It hurts my ears after about an hour, and I often have to adjust the earbuds to hear different formats everything else about the earbuds are superior to all the earbuds I’ve ever owned, but the fit is just not working for me. When I need isolation it is not an option with open earbuds. I would really like to have in earbuds that enhance ambient sound with the sound quality that Bose provides only Bose. I want the enhancement of ambient sound because I have a 25% hearing deficit due to my career as a first responder.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We completely understand your concern. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the sound quality and the open-ear design of the earbuds. However, if you're experiencing discomfort after extended use, you may want to try adjusting the earbuds to ensure they are being worn properly. Here's a helpful guide that may assist you: https://bose.life/4fcrpua While the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to keep you connected to your surroundings, they do not provide the same level of noise isolation as traditional in-ear earbuds when you want to reduce external noise. If comfort and fit continue to be an issue, you may want to consider one of our in-ear earbud models that offers CustomTune technology, Adjustable EQ, and Awareness Mode. These features can help you stay aware of your environment while enjoying the premium sound quality Bose is known for, along with a more secure and personalized fit.

I really like them. I can’t wear in ear buds so these are ideal. The sound is great and they are easy to use.

These are the BEST!
Bought a few weeks ago - cannot believe how AMAZING they are. Barely remember I'm wearing them. Comfy and stylish. Highly recommend as an alternative to in ear as I found they slipped out when I was gardening. These ultra open stay put - never have to re-adjust and live in my ears all day whilst I tend my garden. Love these - and it also helps with he buttons - easy to press when you need to stop/FF or hold a conversation.

THESE ARE A MUST!
Bought these for my Father’s Day gift greatest purchase ever! I recently broke my in ear quiet comfort buds and was looking for an upgrade, I really love the open ear it helps with conversations and being aware. They fit really well with little movement to fall off. Has the best battery life I yet had my buds die on me. I really dig the moonlight grey color way. The silver stands out and I always get compliments.

Hit & Missed
I had such high hopes for these earbuds. I love the style, color and fit of the earbuds. I don’t like the way they connect to my phone, I wish it was a simple Bluetooth connection instead of using the Bose app. This may be just mine, but when I use them to talk on my phone hands free the clarity is horrible, I usually have to switch to my AirPods so whoever I’m on the phone with can hear me clearly. Now when I listen to music it’s awesome. I just don’t want to flip flop between earbuds.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoy the design, color, comfort, and fit of your Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, and that you've been enjoying the audio quality when listening to music. We are sorry to hear that you experienced issues with your earbuds and that they did not fully meet your expectations. We'd also like to clarify that the Bose app is not required to use the earbuds. You can connect your Bose Ultra Open Earbuds directly to your phone through Bluetooth settings. The Bose app is optional and provides additional features such as customizing your earbuds, selecting listening modes, adjusting EQ settings, managing connections with compatible Bose products, and receiving firmware updates. Regarding the microphone clarity issue, one factor that can affect call quality is the positioning and fit of the earbuds. If the earbuds are not seated correctly, it may impact how effectively your voice is picked up by the microphones. We recommend reviewing the following guide for tips on achieving the best fit and performance: https://bose.life/4s8lWK6 Additionally, some troubleshooting steps may help improve microphone performance and call quality. https://bose.life/4eUXTdF We hope these suggestions help you get the best possible experience from your earbuds. If the issue continues, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Support team at https://bose.life/contact We'll be happy to assist you further and explore additional troubleshooting options.

Love the way they attach to ear.
Love them, but at times they feel like they are falling off my ear. Otherwise this would be a 5 star review.

There's better headphones out there
They started to make my ears sore after an hour AND the volume wouldn’t go that loud. I ended up returning them and buying a pair of refurbished soundcore aerofit pro and couldn’t be happier. So happy I found this smaller brand, they care about the environment, sell a more affordable product, make a higher quality product, and it’s customizable.

Great sound quality
Great sound quality. Love that the earbuds hook around my ear, feels much more secure. The open concept makes it easier to be aware of your surroundings which is surprisingly nice. Overall, so happy I switched from this style from my AirPods.

Great Earbuds.
I purchased these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds last month, they are fantastic. They let you listen to good sound quality while still having access to your outside environment. I think they are great for walking my dogs because I can hear automobiles approaching from behind me. These earbuds help make certain that my dogs are safe & clear when traffic approaches. You can also hear people when summoned and easily pause your music/podcast to engage in conversation.

Hi William, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing connectivity issues with your Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. Bluetooth disconnections can occur for several reasons, such as moving too far from the paired device (Bluetooth typically works within about 30 feet), interference from nearby devices like Wi‑Fi routers or microwaves, outdated drivers or firmware, or even power‑saving settings that limit Bluetooth performance. Pairing with multiple devices at once or rare hardware faults can also cause repeated drops. To help resolve this, here’s a helpful link you can use: https://bose.life/3SFJ31Q Jelyn - Customer Support
