I’ve been wearing these nearly every day for two weeks and absolutely love these. I work in an office and listen to music to help me focus, but typically my ears start to hurt while wearing earbuds/headphones after three hours. With these, I can wear them 3+ hours without ear pain because it does not feel like I’m wearing earbuds! The sound is amazing too, and especially as I work in an office, listening to music with aware mode on means I don’t have to pause my music when someone needs to talk to me. The only con is the case charging; it charges the earbuds every time you put them back in the case. So, I need to charge the case itself every other day due to the frequent time I put the earbuds back in the case for meetings. BUT the case charges quick, so it’s not a huge inconvenience.

I really wanted to love these as I do all of my other Bose products, but unfortunately the audio is just too weak. When I turn them up, I get the warning on my phone and the audio becomes distorted (and still somewhat weak). Bummer 😞. No where near worth the price sadly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last week and I am very happy with the sound quality. Some people said the bass wasn’t good but I have to disagree. This sounds amazing and you don’t even feel it that you have it in your ears.

The sound is much quieter than my previous in-ear buds, it makes sense but makes me a bit sad. I also find people cannot hear me unless I move it to the bottom of my ear which is not comfortable. They pinch a bit stronger than expected but over all comfortable, and they don’t slide around or fall off so I am very pleased about that. I honestly don’t really understand the price I would put them at 100 less in terms of quality and how they look , which is kind of cheap.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter bought me a pair for Mothers Day. Absolutely the best earphones I have ever owned !! The sound quality is great! These earphones are so comfortable I could wear them all day without my ears being in pain. I am a Bose customer for life now!

I walk almost 2-3 times a week for 2 miles around the neighborhood block. I use the bose Open Earbud Ultra during my workouts, and i have say that this device is one of my greatest investments. The sound is excellent while it allows me to be aware of the surrounding noise (cars….etc). I am very happy to have this as part of my work out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these a month ago. I like them because they actually stay in my ears. When listening to music, they sound great! But I’m finding that the volume isn’t loud enough when I’m on the phone. That’s my only gripe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently gifted my sister her very first pair of BOSE headphones, and the look on her face was priceless! She was absolutely blown away by the incredible sound quality and fidelity. To top it all off, I chose a beautiful light purple color for them, and she couldn’t be happier with that choice. It’s safe to say they were a hit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has tried countless earbuds over the years, I can confidently say that the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds redefine what’s possible in personal audio. Bose has struck a perfect balance between exceptional sound quality, all-day comfort, and situational awareness, making these earbuds an absolute game-changer for anyone who values immersive sound without total isolation. Comfort and Design – Like Wearing Nothing at All The open-ear design is pure genius. Unlike traditional earbuds that create pressure inside the ear canal, these sit gently and securely outside the ear, making them incredibly comfortable—even after hours of use. Whether I’m on a long work call, out for a run, or just relaxing, I almost forget I’m wearing them. Sound Quality – Signature Bose Excellence in an Open Design I was skeptical about how an open-ear design could deliver the rich, deep sound I expect from Bose, but these earbuds exceeded my expectations. The spatial audio effect creates an immersive experience where music feels expansive and natural. The bass response is surprisingly strong for an open design, and the mids and highs are crystal clear. Bose has pulled off something truly impressive here. Awareness Without Compromise One of my biggest frustrations with traditional earbuds is having to choose between great sound and awareness of my surroundings. With these, I don’t have to compromise. Whether I’m biking, walking in the city, or working in an office, I can stay engaged with my environment while still enjoying my favorite music or taking calls. Battery Life & Connectivity – Reliable and Seamless The battery life is solid, and the quick charge feature is a lifesaver. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless—no drops, no lag, and instant pairing with my devices. Final Verdict: Worth Every Penny Bose has done something incredible with the Ultra Open Earbuds—they’ve created an audio experience that feels natural, immersive, and effortlessly comfortable. If you value high-quality sound, all-day wearability, and the ability to stay connected to the world around you, these are hands down the best earbuds on the market.

Spectacular sound quality. However does not work with multiple BT connections. Even when Multipoint is disabled, Open Earbuds randomly drop one source and connect to another. I finally had to delete connections and just connect to a single device (android phone). Another annoying issue is noticeable time lag for audio to be heard. This makes it impossible to use any app where audio stops and starts - can't use Babel. So I just use them for music and podcasts.
