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 - 5 months ago
  • A: Hello Joan, You can press the button on either earbud once to accept the call. You can end or decline a call by pressing twice on either button while the call is active or ringing.

  • 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.

submitted by Donna - 9 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 - 9 months ago

  • 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: 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.

    I am impressed with my new Ultra open ear buds. I have always believed and desired high quality products. Bose products answer this intention. These ear buds are astonishing, well-built and the high-quality sound is phenomenal. The ability to hear the music or video while being aware of my surroundings is a fantastic benefit. I highly recommend this item and the Bose Corporation.

    1 reply from Customer Support team - 15 days ago
    Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear the earbuds are working well so far, even if they don’t quite match the feel of the older in-ear style you prefer. As for the charging case, you're right—it doesn’t show the exact battery level on the case itself. But no worries! You can still check the battery status in two easy ways: Bose Music App – It gives you a clear view of the battery levels for both the earbuds and the case. LED Indicator on the Case – The light gives a quick idea: Green = High charge Amber = Medium charge Red = Low charge If you’re having any trouble or have more questions, feel free to DM us your details, and we’ll be happy to help!

    The fit is complicated. I like that they don't go into my ear. That causes earache for me, and cause wax buildup in my canal. However, I put the volume all the way up to be able to hear them. People next to me can hear noise from what I am listening 🎧 to. The sound is decent, none the less. Would be wonderful if they had that part that goes into your lobe area, without the plug that goes into your ear. So that it lines up more consistently with your ear canal.

    I bought these about a two weeks ago to replace my other cuff earbuds from a different brand. The Bose claimed to be better and were certainly more expensive. The sound quality and fit are great. I even really like to audio controls on the earbuds, a feature that was missing from the other brand. I am disappointed in the quality of the material. The charging case and silicone protector are very flimsy material. Considering the price point I expected better. To the point that I'm considering returning these.

    Sometimes the earbuds are not synced and will play content with a delay in one ear; sometimes in the middle of streaming there is a notification of how much power is left in the earbuds -- unprompted, just while listening; there is no way to turn them off that I can tell, so they just drain battery if not put in the case after being idle. These all seem like very simple and silly issues that should not exist in a Bose product
    1 reply from Customer Support team - 17 days ago
    I appreciate your patience, and I understand how these issues can be frustrating, especially since they seem like simple fixes. To help resolve this, I recommend trying a reset or re-pairing the earbuds and making sure the firmware is up to date. These steps often do the trick!
