Bose Ultra Open Wireless Spatial Audio Bluetooth Earbuds

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.

I like my Bose Ultra Open Earbuds but am not sure if they are working as designed. For example, in the stereo mode, I only get noise from the left earbud and nothing in the right earbud. Is that how it is supposed to work? Also is there a way to adjust the volume on one ear bud to address hearing loss in one ear? Thanks for your help.

Sound is terrible! No bass at all. I would like to return these and get the new ones offered with increased bass / sound. First time I have been disappointed with Bose as a customer for over 25 yrs.

I got these earbuds a few weeks ago and love them. It just took a couple of days to get used to the fit, but now I frequently forget they are there. The best part, however is the functionality. The morning after I got them I took a short walk through a local open space. As I was listening to music and walking I heard a different birdsong coming from a nearby tree. With my old earbuds that would not have happened. I also listen to podcasts and streaming.music in the evening when my wife prefers quiet. In the past she would have to raise her voice to get my attention. Not anymore, I hear her clearly. She commented recently that she appreciates the difference. The bass is a little degraded, but still good.

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

My second pair…the only regret is that the sport version came out days after I bought them. A teaser a couple of months in advance would have been nice as I would have waited those extra few days. I have the Ultra over ear ones for noise cancelling so these are the perfect alternative for walking/riding/etc

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.

I have used these Open Earbuds for about one month. I find them comfortable and great sound except for area with exceptional noise like an enclosed public pool . I am disappointed that I purchased these and just last week a newer and supposedly better set are on the market.

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.

I bought these mainly for running and the gym. They are great for running in that I can hear my music but also what’s going on around me. At the gym I can hear a little *too* much of what’s going on around me, but that is just a matter of preference. The Auto-volume setting is is a game changer!
