“These go in the bottom cup of your ear, near the drum but not IN it, and wraps around your lobe. I can still hear and I barely feel them! Best purchase ever! Worth every penny! I even use em while talking on the phone.”

“These go in the bottom cup of your ear, near the drum but not IN it, and wraps around your lobe. I can still hear and I barely feel them! Best purchase ever! Worth every penny! I even use em while talking on the phone.”
“Honestly the media controls aren’t very intuitive, if you don’t “double press & hold” to adjust volume. If I wasn’t reviewing them I’d never drop $300 bones on open ear buds.”
“Call quality on the Bose ultra open earbuds is horrible. Every call I’ve used them for, the person I’m talking to say it sounds like I’m talking on speaker phone at a distance. But sound quality for audio is nice.”
“There’s no bass, since they’re open. The EQ in the app is really nice, easy to tune it. It obviously performs its best in a close quiet room rather than out on a street. I have tried Bose Ultra Open earbuds, and these sound better!”
“I have been wearing them all day since I got them and when you adjust the settings to be on stereo only (not immersion, no adaptive volume, etc) i get 7.5 hours and a bit more. Easy. Then the 20 mins for 2 hours is an easy and sure bet. The earbuds take 45 mins for a full charge (reading 90% at 35 mins) and the case takes a little over an hour to charge.”
“Absolute trash. The were fucking amazing for running for about a month. Best headphones I ever had by far. I told so many people to buy them…. Then they stopped connecting. To anything.”
“I have the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds but have been told when they’re a little louder, people around me can hear them”
“I just bought the Bose open ultra ear buds and so far they're good for the gym. They tick off all your requirements except they cost $270. I only have one complaint and it's trivial to most. When I'm doing cardio I watch concerts on you tube and with these earbuds I lose the bass and sound you would experience if you were there or if you had NC earbuds. Othe”
“I wanted to love the Bose Ultra open earbuds because the design is very creative, but ultimately I couldn't get past the "jiggling" sensation of them bobbing on my earlobe.”
“the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds SUCK. Sound is worse than my AirPod 1s & people can never hear me when we’re talking on the phone. I tried 2 sets of the same pair.”
“These have been great for me running or biking. They are open so you can still hear around you and they don’t get in the way of helmet straps etc. Sound is awesome as well.”
“I have the same issue with my Bose Ultra Open earbuds. It is just the left one and only while I am walking.”
“I use the Bose Ultra Open earbuds and they are the best cycling headphones I have ever tried. I can easily hear my music clearly while also having a conversation with the rider next to me.”
“I tried the Bose Ultra open earbuds and found too much wind buffeting at speed and for me, the sound wasn't getting sent to my ear hole (heh), so I returned those”
“I also have the Bose Open Earbuds Ultra for walking/running as I want to hear my surroundings.”
“The Bose are great in a lot of ways (especially with young kids that I need to be able to hear while I'm listening to audiobooks and stuff), but can't help feeling they're still overpriced in terms of features offered (like, $300 buds coming with a case that doesn't do wireless charging? wat?”
“I've bought Sony open link and Bose open ultra. Both are shit battery life. Right bud always dies faster. Never get close to the runtime that's listed.”
“check out the Bose Ultra Open earbuds which clip on the side of your ear as opposed to sitting in the ear. Good sound quality and decent microphone. But they are pricey.”
“I’ve got a reasonably loud noise floor on my bose ultra open earbuds, more so than the Tozo Open earbuds and the shokz openfit.”
“in some settings I need to be able to hear what’s going on around me so I don’t lose it, but then I have the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. They’re not for everyone but help me.”
“Neither are great in busy public spaces. The reason is because both are open earbuds, so the sounds from the environment overpower what you are listening to, leading you to use louder and louder volume. On my Freeclips, others can hear them at maybe 60%, whereas with the bose, it is at maybe 70%.”
“the bose ultra open were cool but it lacked nc for me.”
“They are a cuff shape design that hook/snug around the outside of your ear. My husband does intense work with them on & he LOVES them. Runners swear they stay on.”
“They changed my bose ultra open earbuds twice, but the hissing noise were all the same.”
