Open Earbuds work well for me
Most ear buds do not fit snugly into my ear canal. I have been a long-time happy user of Bose over the ear, noise cancellation headphone so I decided to give these a try. They clip onto my ears securely but sometimes I forget they are there. The sound is great.

You Won't Regret the Investment
I really enjoy the sound quality of the open ear buds! They are great to wear while at work, when I'm cleaning around the house, or out and about. This is my second pair to invest in. I lost one of the ear buds while riding on our bike. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

My favorite
These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are by far my favorite earbuds! I love how they feel like I don’t have earbuds in. If I’m wearing them and nothing is playing I almost forget that I even have them on. I love how while wearing them I can still hear everything around me. I know other earbuds have transparency mode, but I personally like to keep my ear canal from being obstru...

Finally found my earbuds!
I tried them all, but I hate the feeling of bent under water. These were the keepers! Not for everyone but for those who have small ears and also hates the underwater feeling, this is your go to. I have an iPhone 17 and they connected well. Also seamless to my iPad. Didn’t hurt that I got them also on a flash sale.

Bosé with another great product
Confortable all day wear almost can’t tell I have them on sometimes. A lot better sound quality than I was expecting from this style of ear buds I often forget I don’t have in ear ear buds on. Only complaints are Play button doesn’t always respond so I’ll have to press play on my phone in order to get sound. And audio quality during phone calls leave much to be desired ...

Unstable Bluetooth Connection
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 becau...

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're having a hard time connecting your Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. Bluetooth disconnections can occur due to several factors, such as wireless interference, distance from the paired device, low battery levels, or outdated software. Physical obstacles like walls or metal surfaces can also weaken the signal, and in some cases, protective cases or certain devices may interfere with the connection.
To help you resolve this, here's a troubleshooting guide: http://bose.life/48YGiPx

I just got these and they meet all the specifications I wanted and needed. They stay in place during my workouts and runs. The sound is crisp while allowing me to hear my surroundings. I owned the Bose sport earbuds for 3.5 years, I loved them, and they died a month ago. I bought the Bose qc earbuds and they sound great but they fall out all the time. These are perfect ...

Exactly what I was looking for
This product is exactly what I hoped it'd be. They're so much more comfortable than earbuds that sit inside your ear canal. I also tried cheap options before investing in these, and the sound quality absolutely blows the cheapies out of the water. I love being able to listen to high quality music while still being able to hear emergency vehicles, etc. My only knock is t...

Comfortable but bad UX
They are comfortable. Great because I wear glasses and hate in-ear and over the ear headphones. They stay charged for a long time too.
But they have issues with disconnecting. One ear bud will stop connecting randomly. I have to reset them. Not a great user experience.

I wish there was a simple way to attach and Airtag so that I have a way to find them if I lose them. The only thing I was disappointed in was the matte finish of the case. My last...

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the connection issue has been so frustrating, especially when using your iPhone. Bluetooth connectivity problems can sometimes stem from multiple devices being paired at once, especially if their Bluetooth settings are all turned on.
One helpful step is to clear your earbuds’ memory, which can often resolve these kinds of issues. You can check out this troubleshooting guide: https://bose.life/4o1E6vi for detailed instructions. Hope this helps you enjoy the best experience with your product.
