Review Summary
2026-04-18T20:00:00
I've been a Bose believer for quite a few years. I've tried other headphones/earbuds but I always gravitate back to Bose because of the clarity and their different sound modes. Now with the new immersion mode you feel like you're inside the music as you listen. I've always felt that Bose is on the cutting edge of listening enjoyment?and this is just one more step on their journey!

I purchased these earbuds in the hope that I could find a pair that would fit. I must have non standard ears as I haven't found a pair of buds that will stay in even during just walking let alone any sort of exercise! I wear glasses so the over ear type are uncomfortable. The Bose Open Earbuds fit the bill perfectly, feel secure when using, comfortable lightweight fit and excellent sound. Don't expect noise cancelling and they are not suitable for really noisy environments but for general wear they are ideal.

I bought Bose products several years ago thinking they were good products but over priced. I have since been convinced that these are Bose puts out good products and fully supports them through their wonderful customer service department. From this point on I purchase mostly Bose audio equipment because of the great experiences I have had with them.

I bought the open earbuds in March of this year and I love them! I use them mainly for casual listening but the thing that made me purchase them were the reviews on how well they stay in your ear when working out. I can say that they work very well and stay on throughout your workouts. It's also convenient that you can be listening to music and still be aware of your surroundings! The sound quality is amazing and the app is easy to use as well, different features and listening modes depending on your movement and how you want your audio to sound. I wish I bought these sooner! 5 stars!

I like the open ear feature the only con I have faced is that sometimes it seems like it's harder for people to hear during a phone call

I have tried many headphones, probably all of them. And all but one I have wanted to return. That's the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds! They are the best, never returning these. All other headphones would irritate my ears or cause a rash. I guess I am sensitive to most! I just love these headphones so much. When all others have not worked at all, and these have. It just makes you so happy. I use them constantly everyday for everything. I'm just happy to not be looking for a pair of headphones. These are my go to! Thank you Bose!!

This is the best way to listen to everyone and everything. I've always had pain with any ear buds, these clip to the ear and the sound is superb. I use while walking to enjoy my music and still hear the ambient sounds around me. I've got them set so they get louder if I get some place noisy and then return to my lower levels when the ambient noise clears.

Concept is great, how ever they tend to be defective,. Static noise begin out of no where. Did research and found out it's an on going issue. Got my pair replaced through warranty, how ever with in 2 weekend the same issue happened for a few days then went away.

I bought these a few weeks ago and would say that I really like them! As someone whose ears are pretty sensitive and often hurt with in-ear earbuds, these ultra open earbuds are a great alternative and pain-free! I appreciate how the earbud is not directly inside of my ear. I commute everyday to college, so these are amazing to stay aware of my surroundings, but I do think that it gets hard to hear from them in noisy environments like public transportation. Despite that, I do prefer them to noise cancelling earbuds and would definitely recommend them! They also never fall out, and I often sleep with them forgetting that they are on.

First and foremost, the shape of my ear opening has never worked with Apple Air Pods or buds of a similar design. So the clip appealed to me, as well as the Bose reputation (I have their speakers in my house). The sound is good, though as you can imagine not as "immediate" as something that is in your ear canal. (Wear a wool hat and it gets better!) The tradeoff is you can be aware of ambient sound, which comes in handy. They fit great, very comfortable (no pinch) and have never had one fall off. The controls work by tapping a top button on each bud. I've had to reread the instructions a couple times to remember "how many taps and where" for each function. A big plus is that they hold a charge for a long time. I will use them 10 or more times before needed to plug in the charging case. Another nice feature is the myriad colors you can choose from.

Great concept. Earbuds were not the right size and they fell off when I was exercising. The distance from my earlobes to to the ear canal did not allow me to have great quality sound coming from the earbuds.

I've always loved the BOSE sound, and I'm not disappointed with my ultra open buds! I like that they allow me to be aware of my surroundings, and the sound is so pure i don't mind that it's not overly loud.

I absolutely LOVE my open ear buds. Foolishly I lost one at the gym, kept checking to see if it was turned in, but sadly, no. Was going to see if I could order just one to replace, but that wasn't an option. Fortunately I had inquired about it through my warranty, sent it in with the prepaid label and boom, 10 days later I was rockin at the gym with a new pair! Thank you Bose, that's just one of the reasons I will never use a different brand, sorry, but you're stuck with me!!!!!!!

I bought these a month ago to use while I "read" a book! The hold onto my ears very well and I can hear the book with ease as well as being able to hear if something else is needing my attention!

I purchased ultra open earbuds about three weeks ago. Now I will not leave my home without my baby Bose. Love it. Thinking about getting the second so I will not be without it when one is recharging.

I didn't think I'd like open-ear earbuds this much, but the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds honestly changed my mind. The biggest thing for me is how natural they feel. I can listen to music and still hear what's going on around me, which is perfect when I'm out or even just at home. It doesn't feel isolating like regular earbuds, and I didn't realize how much I'd appreciate that until I used these. Sound-wise, they're really solid. You're not getting that fully "sealed-in" bass like traditional earbuds, but for what they are, they sound way better than I expected - clear vocals, good balance, and still enough low-end to enjoy your music. Comfort is probably my favorite part. They're super lightweight, so there's no pressure or soreness. I've worn them for hours and forgot I even had them on. Battery life has been good so far, and everything just works smoothly. No weird connection issues or anything like that. Overall, if you hate the feeling of regular earbuds or just want something more comfortable for everyday use, these are definitely worth checking out. Not perfect for every situation, but for what they're made for, they do a really good job

They are perfect in every way! I wanted a pair of earbuds that didn't have to sit in my ears as this always irritated my ears. I wanted a pair of earbuds I could wear so I'm aware of my surroundings while walking my dogs , but I can comfortably take a phone call, hands free. They needed to stay put and not move while walking but not too tight so they were uncomfortable after long periods. I searched everywhere.... Well, I found them. A pair that did all of the above and were in my favourite colour. What more can I ask for. Plus, and a big plus,they have the Bose signature sound which I love. The Bose Ultra Open earbuds are a unique pair of esrbuds for me. I'm so happy.
