Good Product
Price that I purchased the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds was great. After using them for a few weeks, the reception on the phone is not as loud as I thought and people on the other end of the call say it sounds like I am in a box talking. Speaker sound is very good.

At a glance
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are premium true wireless earbuds designed for people who want music and calls without blocking out the world around them. They suit commuters, office workers and walkers who value comfort, multipoint pairing and splash resistance. Key strengths are the open-ear design, easy device switching and app control. The trade-off is weaker noise isolation than in-ear earbuds designed for immersive listening.

Things to consider
Because of the open-ear design, these earbuds let outside sound in, so they are not the best choice if you want strong noise isolation for flights, loud gyms or fully immersive listening.
Commuter suitability score
9/10 - excellent for commuting where awareness of surroundings is important, with strong comfort and easy call handling.
Workout fit
Good for light workouts, walks and general exercise thanks to the secure cuff-like fit and IPX4 splash resistance.
Noise isolation effectiveness
3/10 - open-ear design prioritises situational awareness over blocking external noise.
All-day comfort rating
9/10 - open-ear, cuff-style wear is well suited to long listening sessions without the sealed in-ear feel.
Multi-device switching ease
9/10 - Bluetooth multipoint makes moving between two connected devices simple and convenient.
Key benefits
- Open-ear design: Helps you stay aware of traffic, announcements and nearby conversations while listening.
- Cuff-like fit: Sits securely and comfortably for daily wear without sealing the ear canal.
- Battery life: Delivers up to 7.5 hours of music and calls on a single charge for day-to-day use.
- Bluetooth multipoint: Connects to two devices at once, making it easier to switch between a phone and laptop.
- IPX4 water resistance: Handles sweat, splashes and light rain for exercise and everyday wear.
- Built-in microphones: Supports clear hands-free calling without needing to reach for your phone.
- Bose Music app: Lets you adjust settings and manage playback from your phone.
- Snapdragon Sound: Supports enhanced wireless audio performance for a better listening experience with compatible devices.
Q: Are Bose Ultra Open Earbuds suitable for office calls and laptop use?
A: Yes. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have built-in microphones for hands-free calls and Bluetooth multipoint to stay connected to a phone and laptop at the same time. The open-ear design keeps surrounding office noise more audible than sealed earbuds.
Q: Can you hear traffic and announcements while listening with these earbuds?
A: Yes. The open-ear cuff design is made to keep outside sounds, such as traffic and platform announcements, more noticeable while audio is playing. That awareness comes with less noise isolation than an in-ear model that seals the ear.
Q: Do these earbuds block train and bus noise on commutes?
A: No. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds prioritise awareness of your surroundings, so public transport noise is still likely to be heard during playback. They suit commuting where hearing announcements matters, not listening that shuts the environment out.
Q: Will they stay paired to your phone and laptop together?
A: Yes. Bluetooth multipoint lets these earbuds stay connected to two devices at once, so moving between a phone and laptop does not need fresh pairing each time. They are built for quick switching, not connection to more than two devices together.
Q: Are they okay for workouts, sweat and light rain outside?
A: Yes. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have an IPX4 rating, which covers sweat, splashes and light rain during walks or exercise. That rating is for everyday moisture exposure, not swimming, shower use or submerging the earbuds in water.
Q: Do Bose Ultra Open Earbuds go inside your ear canal?
A: No. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds use a cuff-like open-ear fit rather than a sealed in-ear tip, so they sit differently from traditional earbuds. The trade-off is lower passive noise isolation, which matters if you want more shut-out on noisy trips.
