The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed for anyone who wants to enjoy rich, private sound while staying completely connected to the world around them. Whether you're listening to music on your commute, working from home, or just moving through your day, the open ear design means you never have to choose between your playlist and your surroundings. OpenAudio technology delivers high-quality sound that stays private, while Bose Immersive Audio spatializes your music so you feel like you're inside it. With Bluetooth 5.3 and a 9m wireless range, pairing is quick and the connection stays solid.
These earbuds offer all-day comfort with a flexible joint and light grip that make them easy to forget. Silicone ear pieces add comfort, and IPX4 water resistance protects against splashes and sprays. Enjoy up to 7 hours of playtime per charge, or 4 hours with Immersive Audio on. The charging case provides 2.5 full charges, and a 60-minute charge restores full power. Button controls on the earbuds allow easy playback management, and bass control lets you adjust sound.

Excellent sound
Wasn't sure about the open ear concept but I'm a hundred percent convinced by the sound quality is amazing and the fit and security are fist class.The connect as soon as you take them out of the case

Ear Buds are very lightweight which make them very comfortable to wear.

Don't fit properly
Not very good unfortunately as I cannot get them to remain in my ears. Sound quality.good but that would mean holding them in all the time. I think I would lose them in a very short space of time as well as being inconvenient to use anyway
Home
Could be better
I got about three ago they are ok but not great at all especially on an aeroplane just not good sound very quiet music and audiobooks I got these headphones because I stay in my ears normally earbuds fall out they are good for walking but not running

Comfortable fit
Bought earlier this month to replace Bose QuietComfort as unable to wear them with hearing aids, these feel very comfortable and secure on the ear.

Great buds but...
I am torn on these earbuds. Indoors and in a quiet setting, the sound quality is amazing. The immersive sound when sitting still, blew me away. Stunning sound and it felt like it was filling the room. I looked around my communal office because I thought everyone could hear, but no one batted an eyelid. I also like the controls, with buttons rather than a touch, no accidental changes. So why am I torn? I don't know what I expected from "Open Earbuds" but in a built up area, without noise cancelling, the peripheral sound is too much. Living in London, it's rare that I'm in a quiet area. To summarise, if you are using these in the office or at home, or any quiet surroundings, they are brilliant. If you are commuting and living in a built up area, they're still good but either take a bit of getting used to or not suitable at all. I just can't decide.

BestBose Headphones
Bought these for my son and he absolutely loves them, the best headphones he has had

Great looks, disappointing sound and bass quality
I bought these as soon as I was able to - before release based on my previous experience with BOSE products and brand respect. They are a great design - unusual, very comfy and great to wear for an extended period. However, I am disappointed with the sound quality. They are missing some rich, deep bass that I was expecting; they make the music sound tinny and flat.

Great open earbuds
Amazing sound and very comfortable to wear. I bought them because I don’t like anything in or over my ears, so it is great to be able to listen to my music privately. Classical music sounds particularly well.

Sounds really good
I have had a pair for two years now and recently a friend asked me to order some for her. The set up is very easy but she struggled with registering on the app but absolutely loves the quality of the sound I too like the quality of the sound but sometimes find the fit is not tight enough and have to press them to get a greater volume/sound so that’s why I have given a total 4 star rather than 5 review

Hello Phil,
I can confirm that the Bose Ultra Open Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - Black need to be placed inside the case to charge. There is a charging cable included which is USB-A to USB-C. The USB-C end us plugged into the case.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello LunaMoon,
From the information we have available, I can confirm these Bose Ultra Open Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are not bone conduction headphones. These still fit inside the ear, the difference from other earbuds is the brilliant combination of innovative design, incredible audio and all-day comfort. The earbuds have a cuff-like fit, which leaves your ears totally open so you can still hear the world around you.
Thank you for using Q&A
No, they use a different method to project the sound into your ear. The effect however is the same.
Hi Lorraine,
The Bose Ultra Open Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - Black has a cuff-like fit that leaves your ears totally open so you can still hear the world around you. These are designed for all users so should fit most people.
Thanks for using Q&A,
They are durable for any size ear and fit very nicely on the ear. They don’t actually go directly into the ear canal, they sit on the ledge and they hook up around the side. That’s why you can also hear people talking whilst listening to music. Hope that helps you out!
Hello Rob,
Yes, the Bose Ultra Open Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - Black have four mics (two on each bud) for calling.
Thanks for using Q&A
