Q: How are phone calls answered with these earbuds?

submitted by Joan - 10 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 - 4 months 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.

Q: Is the Bose app required in order to connect?? (Speaking as the app won't download and I was going to ask for these for my birthday.)

submitted by Love it so much - 4 months ago

Q: Do the earbuds have individual volume controls

submitted by Andrea - 7 months ago

    submitted byBose Support - 7 months ago

  • A: Hi Andrea, thanks for reaching out about Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Bluetooth Open Earbuds There is no way to adjust the volume of each earbud separately. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

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 - 8 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.

  • 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 - 11 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.

  • 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.

    In ear headphones make my ears itch when wearing for long periods of time. The audio quality is good but people constantly tell me they can’t hear me. Don’t buy these until this is resolved. I’m wondering if it’s too late to get a refund.

We’re really sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve had during phone calls — that’s definitely not the experience we want you to have. The good news is, we’re here to help!

    I bought these earbuds after reading several reviews that they were the best on the market. They are certainly about 300% more expensive than I’ve ever spent on headphones before. Perhaps because they were so expensive, I expected immediate gratification. In practice, it took me a little while to establish the optimal volume and ear fitting. The press button control is outstanding, but again takes practice to get right every time. I confess that I’m not quite Neanderthal, and saw so much potential in these earbuds that I bought a second pair for my so, who regularly receives and makes calls. Another great feature is that the earbuds know when to interrupt for incoming calls and other media messages. In summary, these are the most expensive and best headphones I’ve ever bought. Once I’ve sold some more personal possessions, I may even buy the charger!

    I've finally found earbuds I can wear all day without discomfort – the Bose Open Earbuds are a game-changer! For years, I struggled to wear earbuds for more than an hour or two before the pinching became unbearable. These are truly amazing; I can comfortably wear them for extended periods without any pain whatsoever. What truly sets these earbuds apart, besides the incredible comfort, is their open-ear design. Unlike traditional earbuds that completely seal off your ears, these allow you to hear your surroundings. This feature is fantastic, especially in a work environment. I can listen to my audio while still being aware if someone walks into my office or calls my name. It's the perfect balance of immersion and situational awareness. And, as you'd expect from Bose, the sound quality is absolutely amazing. Every note is crisp, clear, and rich, delivering that premium audio experience Bose is known for. I love my Bose Open Earbuds so much that after buying a pair for myself, I've already gifted them to several friends. If you're looking for earbuds that prioritize comfort, allow you to stay aware of your surroundings, and deliver exceptional sound, look no further. Thank you, Bose, for creating such an innovative and comfortable product!

    Hello, I am sorry to hear you were not satisfied of your Ultra open earbuds. Due to their open unique design, these earbuds don't offer noise cancellation.

It was awkward to say the least.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think i received the Bose Open Air about 3 weeks ago and have decided to keep them. They provide a surprisingly detailed sound. Early on i didn’t think i would like the openness since all i ever owner were IEM’s, however, i use these for walks or gym visits and i find i like being able to hear an approaching car and gym noise is not as bothersome as i thought it may be. The best thing i like is being able to wear them for long periods. They are super light weight and i can forget i have them on. There is no heat build up or itchy feeling so they are very comfortable. The one thing i would like on a newer model is for the smaller end to extend a little further into the ear canal. Overall they exceed my expectations…

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have small ears and most buds fall out or feel like they are stretching my ear out too much. I loved my Raycons but wanted to try something new and as a school teacher these open buds are perfect for when I need to listen out for my kids and screen that YouTube video to make sure it’s the right one. The quality is amazing, I love the surround sound feature and I can wear them for hours without my ears getting tired. Also, they still do well in loud and environments like airports. Yes, you hear the back ground noise, but that’s what I need. It’s a little annoying on an airplane or driving in the car as a passenger if you need that complete sound cancellation. Also, it can be uncomfortable to lay down with these on your ears. I also love riding my bike with these because I can hear the traffic and my music.
