Customers Say
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds offer superb sound, comfort, and fit especially for those with sensitive ears or who dislike in-ear buds. Connectivity and call quality issues, plus no noise cancellation, are common negatives.

Perfect listening evolution
Great product! Having had problems with ear pods and overear headphones being too heavy these are just perfect!

Great fit
I bought these for my wife because she struggles trying to find headphones for her small ears. I own a pair and she tried mine on a run and was very impressed. Got them on sale so I was nearly as happy as she was

Good quality features not all there
For someone who can’t get earbuds to stay in these have been brilliant quality build and sound great the only issue I have is they are stated as Made for IPhone which I don’t get as they do not show up on find my iPhone and even the Bose app won’t find them which is disappointing I really don’t get why this feature is not available it’s 2026!!!!!

Usability
Definitely a good purchase as the sound for open ear earbuds it's as good as it gets with the ability to hear others as you listen to music 🎶

I really wanted to love these
I have been looking for an open ear earphone that has great quality sounding bass. In this department these ear buds did not disappoint. The sound is xeiap and the bass is delicious considering they are open ear. Unfortunately everything else was disappointing. I wore these for around 8 hours including a three hour flight before I had to charge, 10mins does give 2 hours of listening so the battery claims are legit. Connectivity was terrible. Snap crackle and pop with the odd "bzzzzt" which snaps you right out of what ever you were enjoying. Makes for an absolutely horrible experience. There are times where the sound just stops transmitting. All of these are known issues which should have been resolved in the 2024 update (most recent) so I took a risk in buying and regretted it within 24 hours.

Great sound
I really like them. I can’t wear in ear buds so these are ideal. The sound is great and they are easy to use.

New for me
I’m actually undecided about these earbuds. However it’s nothing to do with quality or service or sound quality. It’s to do with my personal opinion and my history with earphones/bud. I’ve always used noise cancelling ones and these ones are not. The quality of the charging case and the buds themself is perfect. The buds themselves are fantastic quality and so light to wear you can easily forget you have them in. My only negative it that they are not noise cancelling and I am struggling to get used to that but because of all the positives I’m going to continue using them and becoming more used to them.

Looks and sound great, fitment poor for my ears
I bought these as the in-ear buds in general were causing inner ear issues. Generally pleased with them. Would give 3.5 stars if I could. My first Bose earphones. The sound is very good, maybe the best way to describe the sound is full, vibrant and complete. The build quality is excellent and the aesthetics are excellent, they are a beautiful design. The fitment is innovative but doesn't fit my ears well. When I press the bud into my ear, the sound is amazing but the speakers dont sit close to my ear canal when relying on the fitment. I think the universe fitment doesn't match my ear which is disappointing. Great sound and looks but pricey for them to not fit my ears well.

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
