Crispy and clear sound is gone from this version. I have been Buying Bose since 2011 and used every earbuds they have and sound quality was awesome. Call volume is low as well. Also, the quality of case got so cheap that it can be crushed just with bare hands. I still have the case from previous version of QC earbuds and it is rock solid. Had paid same amount for that one too. Quality is drowning.

I am thoroughly impressed with these earbuds and have purchased my second pair to keep at a separate location for convenient use when my primary pair is unavailable. I have also gifted a pair to my wife for Christmas. One of the standout features is the excellent transparency mode, which allows me to enjoy music while remaining fully aware of my surroundings. Highly recommended.

I bought this set 2 1/2 weeks ago. I’m very disappointed. They don’t sound anything like the first set. I have from bowls. I’m definitely sending these back to get the second generation. I bought the first generation which I thought was awesome but this set doesn’t compare to the quality sound That I’m getting from the first generation so I’m trading them in for the second generation. It has no base to it no sound I’m disappointed.

These earbuds are the worse earbud every I wasted hard earned money on this junk. Wish I would have returned them they continue to stop playing on there on. I really wanted to love these but what a mistake purchasing these.word of advice keep your money .i can’t even rate this junk.i was expecting more and better quality from Bose.thumbs down all away around.

As with all of the Bose audio products I have used, the Bluetooth connection is unstable and difficult to connect. I spend unbearable time trying to connect to live broadcasts only to give up because the broadcast is half over before I can connect. It sounds great when it works, but time sensitive material is impossible. I have switched back to Nothing ear phones because they connect without fail.

I am happy I bought these to use at home where is there no noise other than what I am listening to on my Bose earbuds. Noise cancellation was acceptable given very little external noise. Pairing the earbuds with my iPhone and laptop was very easy using the Bose App. The sound quality from the earbuds is very good.

I didn’t charge them out of the box, and when I put them in my ear it said “battery 100%”. I used them for a couple of times and received the same prompt every time. Then one day, they were just completely dead, no change or countdown to battery life, that’s why I gave 3 stars, which is really for the sound quality. Now I can’t rely on the battery status if I take them out anywhere without worrying about them dying. Sound quality good, function / features suspect.

I’ve had them for two weeks sound amazing. I am a professional bass player and playing in a band, I need to listen to songs in stream and performance videos so I can hear the full range of frequencies especially the low bass frequencies . These accomplish that and more plus sound, crisp and clear on all other frequencies.

I’ve never written a review that felt this personal. But the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds aren’t just a product — they’re a quiet revolution. I wear them while walking my dog, commuting, working, even cooking. The open-ear design means I stay connected to the world around me, yet the sound is so immersive it feels like the music is inside me. No pressure, no isolation — just pure, spacious audio that adapts to my life. They don’t fall out. They don’t block out life. They don’t ask me to choose between awareness and escape. They just… fit. Comfortably. Emotionally. Practically. If you’ve ever wanted earbuds that feel like they were designed for real people — not just tech specs — these are it. I’ve tried others. Nothing compares. I don’t say this lightly: if you’re reading this, you’ll buy them. And you’ll thank yourself every time you wear them.

I didn’t think OPEN EARBUDS would have such wonderful sound; but owning 5 BOSE products;one o which is the Radio/Cassette/CD player which as you can guess’ we’ve had for MANY YEARS and still use regularly. YES these are WONDERFUL with sound as good as any other earbuds; with the extra of being safer outdoors keeping you also aware of what’s golng on around you.
