Usually I say they are good for what it’s worth. In this case, for what I paid for them, they are not worth it.
Pro’s: the ear clip/cuff design is different and good, the fit is pretty secure and won’t fall off, comfortable, immersive sound is a plus, turning off the immersive sound and they last longer between charges. When running I hardly noticed I had them on my ears. The sound was good when I was running. I noticed as I was running that the music got louder. I think it was because they settled onto my ear lobes and also I turned the automatic volume control.
Cons: too expensive, can’t adjust to being closer to ear canal, left me wanting and expecting more from the ear cuff buds. They seem limited when turning them up to 7 or 8 on the flat setting. Should be priced around the sound core and shokz open fit buds price, maybe even pricing them lower like $125-$150 on the high end. For $300 they should have wireless charging, multi point connectivity. Most of all a larger and louder volume level. I’m returning them. My aftershockz aeropex bone conduction headphones do a better job and lasts my whole 10 hour workday without needing to be charged.
Maybe another software update with automatic multipoint switching, adjust the eq curve to have more low end and not cap the bass when playing at a higher volume, and drop the price and they would an awesome product.
Update 3/12/2024
So I returned my first pair of ultra earbuds, and got a set of Shokz open fit earbuds. I tried those on for some time and really like how they performed overall. But somehow I started to miss the bose earbuds, and wanted to compare how they went up against the Shokz offering. The price is still steep, but I had an amazon gift card balance of $157 so I went ahead and bought the Bose to do the comparison.
The fit was excellent as before, the sound is excellent, I registered them to get the two year nose warranty as I can see these being replaced sometime in September the future. The Shokz are really good and probably rank them as one of the best hook buds in the market. For me and my ears, the Bose and the Shokz are an excellent buy. They both are light and fitment is excellent, the sound is superb, the call quality I give to Shokz, the update happened to both and somehow the call quality on the bose really improved. I still prefer the physical button over the touch sensitive approach that Shokz went with. I still like the Bose ear cuff design vs the earhook. So which do I prefer. Running and exercising-Bose without a doubt, mountain biking and any sport with a lot of wind noise-Shokz hands down.
3/19/2024
I started noticing the Bose ultra open buds starting to lose connection when putting them on. The right ear would get the connected prompts, but the left would not connect and when it does connect, it loses drops connection a couple of time more than connects and syncs up with the right ear. I’m going to request for a replacement pair. Overall, these are excellent buys if you have a gift card balance to buy down these buds. The Shokz were on sale so I returned my black pair and got the white pair. I had some Amazon credits and used those credits to buy the Shokz at much lower price.
3/29/2024
Bose pushed an update to the open ultras (version 1.10.4). The audio sounded clearer, the connection issue seems to have been resolved, I noticed while doing yard work that my Bose lasted approximately 5 hours on the immersion setting. No multipoint connectivity like the Shokz open fits have. Also, I saw that Bose released a wireless charging case on their website for $50. I decided to not get the wireless charging case because I was already used to the usb-c plug approach.

The future of audio is here!
When Bose first announced these earbuds, I was very skeptical on how these open style earbuds would perform in terms of audio clarity in which Bose is known for. My previous earbuds, I always set them to noise cancellation especially when in a loud noisy environment such as the gym and hear through when I'm at work. These earbuds has eliminated both of these features so you're able to hear outside noise at all times. This takes some getting use to but after a few hours I had gotten use to it.Another thing that took some getting use to was putting these earbuds on but it didn't take very long to get accustomed to. These look like a pair of earrings that are put on awkwardly but I find that they do stay on very well compared to my in-ear buds. I was able to lay on one side while in bed and always shook my head and they managed to stay on where was the in ear fly out with the slightest shake. After awhile, I don't even feel anything in my ear at all and that I can wear these all day and won't ache my ear like those in-ear earbuds. With the fitment of these buds out the way, let's talk about the audio aspect.These sound pretty well but you're giving up noise cancellation. Can hear my laundry machine yet able to hear the audio pretty well. Not sure how well these would work if you're on airplane. You're not getting high bass but Bose isn't known for their bass. The treble/voice sounds great. Almost sounds acoustic in a way which I like vs bass. You're giving up noise cancellation and hear through features but a nifty feature these Ultra Open Earbuds offer is the Immersive Audio feature. This basically puts the audio in front of you so no matter where you turn your head, the audio will always be played in front of you. So if your turn your head left or right, the side that is in front will be played and the the side furthest way will be silent. Basically you have the option for audio to stay in one place or audio to follow you around this enchancing your audio experience.The charging case is very compact in which I prefer. Fits in your pocket nicely.Comfort factor I give 10/10. Overall I give the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds a 8/10. Takes some getting use to (in putting them on and people will mistake the and awkward looking earrings) but the sound experience with the Immersive Audio feature is a great feature to have.
