I love both but understand the complaints. I run meetings in my open ultras and always have been told my mics sound great. I love the open design so much I’ve also ordered the freeclips as well to see what the hype is about
I prefer the QC ultra instead of the open tbh its up to ppl's preference because they both sound the almost the same. The open buds does not have maximum noise cancellation if u go to the store noise cancelation is not in the description cuz it cant really cancel noise when it's made to be of aware of surrounding. They are both very comfortable and does not fall easily. Its up to what you're looking for or what you want it for
Maybe the bone conduction will come in a later version which will fill in for the lack of deep bass and the button segment behind the ear might be a placeholder for that in the future. That would be awesome 🎶
At first i had issues wearing the bose open ultra for more than 3 hours but i realized that i was putting them on wrong. You have to slide them down as much as possible. Just put them on as usual and slide them down until they can't move any further down. This not only solved my comfort issues (i can literallly wear them all day like this) but the actual driver sit closer to my ear now. When i saw you putting them on 0:54 i was thinking you should try sliding them down more.
Sad that Bose spent money and R&D on such a niche device. Wish they’d put their effort into improving Ultra earbuds (multi point and better aware mode, 8 or 10 band EQ) 2026 is gonna be an interesting year for earbuds.
Too many better choices for less. Bose needs to step up their game for what they want to charge. Smaller case, wireless charging and other features soundcore can provide for 100 bucks. Interesting design though. Thanks for the through review!
The QC ultras are just way way better. The opens are a niche product for a niche buyer.. For the love of God can Bose just please fire their software engineers, hire ones with a brain, let us turn ANC off if we need to like in windy conditions, and give us a solid customizable app with better connectivity. They have the best sound and best ANC with the worst software and features
@@bistduschlau9889 you are the very niche buyer. Open ear buds sound worse, perform worse, and are just for people who don't care about that... Which for people who want ear buds isn't common. Especially since hear through modes are so good now
0:32 WHILE inundating people with music or phone calls that they don’t want to hear. Most of my electronics are Bose, but this has to be one of the most socially unintelligent products I’ve seen from them. Everyone knows it’s annoying and intrusive to talk out loud convo or play music out loud. 🤦
Bose. Bose my dear Bose , when will you seriously improve your microphones ? Why are you making such lazy updates while being overpriced ? I really had high hopes ! You seriously disappointed me with the QC II , the QC and the QC ultra That’s why i broke up with you and married Sennheiser.
Ok I made a lot of calls with it and everyone was complaining about the noice around me and not hearing my voice well and I had to repeat my self couple times. It’s really not what I expected from Bose I think it’s only for music but not to make calls with it.
They're terrible... I bought a pair, the worked OK the first time I used them, then the right bud wouldn't charge. Then I wasted almost 2 hours chatting with Bose customer service with no satisfactory outcome. Avoid Bose products.
Every manufacturer has one off issues occasionally… every single one of them. Case in point I had same issue with a recent pair of apple iPod pros. Left earbud stopped charging. I returned and they gave me a new pair without question. In general Bose makes a solid product. And I know they would have offered an exchange or a return so not sure what your idea of satisfactory is beyond that.
I’ve got the quite comfort 2 earbuds and the QC ultra headphones the open ultras are my new go tos. Good quality sound and it lets me work at the office hearing my surroundings clearly while also being able to listen to my audible books.
I play poker and Open Earbuds Ultra are perfect, click the button to pause, I can play a hand and hear everything at the table, then click button to return to the music. No need to pull out/put in earbuds or take off headphones and put back on. This iis the perfect solution for poker players.
Thank you for the actual sound difference DEMONSTRATION! So many reviewers talk about what they sound like instead of actually showing what they sound like. Thank you!
Bought it, and yes the mic sucks, it lacks wireless charging, multipoint connection and it’s overpriced for what you get. I ended up with the Huawei Freeclip, which has everything mentioned missing in the Bose including a better mic.
Great video! I’ve been using Bose QC earbuds for 4 years now on a daily basis. I love to wear it when I’m mowing, blowing and/or cutting trees. After 4 years, they still work great, the battery lasts a long time with 1 charge. I charge the case once every two weeks. Keep in mind that I use it to talk on the phone, work out and do yard maintenance. During the fall I I used for a minimum of 4 hours every other day, during this season I charge the case once a week. One thing to point out, I have yet to listen to anything on full blast. I find that extraordinary. Before the QC, I used to use the sport, I retired that after 3 years of very heavy used, that’s when I upgraded to the QC. Before the sports earbuds I had the wired earbuds, also lasted 3-4yrs of heavy usage. I stand by Bose for many reasons, one being the quality and longevity of their products. Which ever one you choose, it’s Bose, it will be great. You can always bring it back and get the other one.
If you like good caling quality then do not buy! As for the rest it is a good product with good servic but the volume of the partner your calling is bad! I recieved another product and did the update. Nobody is talking about it! It is not worth the 350 euro!
As amazing as Bose is at sound they still dont have the brains to higher someone to fix that horrid sound quality when talking with someone on the phone. $350 for that dumpster fire. If you only want to listed great, if you want to take calls on it forget about it.
I really like this design, but there's an issue. It disconnects when I connect to the GARMIN Fenix 6s to play music and activate the running mode. This happens eight times an hour. Both the software is up-to-date.
Since you are a regular glasses wearer, would you consider reviewing the owndays/huawei eyewear 2? An open ear headphone that doesn't require an additional device to be worn.
Hello Aaron, please explain how you record the "before" and "after" of all your samples in the subscription? Is it a dummy head recording? Or is it just an application that records the call? I wonder because AirPods Pro 2 does not remove noise for the other person on the call. Only for the one who puts it on his ears, i.e, it flips the phase directly into the person's ears - And for the other person on the call to hear the clean call, it is the iPhone "voice isolation" and "phone noise cancellation" algorithms inside the iPhone that does the job - so from this video it seems that you recorded the call itself via app or service (because it's on your ears and not on a dummy head), but the thing is that if you recorded it like that, it only shows us the algorithm of your phone and not the algorithm of your earbuds - please fix me if I'm wrong and explain in details.
Not really, i use the voice record app on iphone which purely takes the audio from the mics directly. no algos were applied except that coming from the earbuds. Regardless of phones that is what the listener will hear. Only the APP2 does not apply its own noise gating so you’ll have to use voice isolation mode on iPhone. Dont confuse active noise canceling with microphone noise gating. They have no relation whatsoever.
A few days ago I bought some Bose Open Ultra and I have a small problem with them. When starting a sound, a sound like "ssssss" is heard in the background and when the sound ends it continues for a few seconds until it turns off completely

Decent frequency response given their apparently small size and being outside of the ear.
Not enough reviewers doing the jumping jack and rolling on the ground test

No problem 😂

Can someone comment if there is a lag while watching UA-cam videos on iPhone?
No lag
Can you do a review on Beoplay EX, Final ZE8000 and Final ZE8000 MK? I appreciate all of your content ..thanks
Good concept. Needs refinement
Every ear bud I've tried either fall out or become uncomfortable with long use(Every air pod and samsung buds)
Why no more sennhieser sir on your channel
Still waiting Aaron do review about huawei Freebuds pro 3

Sir, lets review Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 👍
Spundcore c30i
My ultra earbuds microphone performs better than yours. And I think you got the sound sample backwards.
Mic is fine in less noisy conditions. The samples are accurate this time.
Bose. Bose my dear Bose , when will you seriously improve your microphones ? Why are you making such lazy updates while being overpriced ? I really had high hopes ! You seriously disappointed me with the QC II , the QC and the QC ultra That’s why i broke up with you and married Sennheiser.
WHy do they sound like shit for $300?
Don’t buy it is baaaaaad
Why?
Ok I made a lot of calls with it and everyone was complaining about the noice around me and not hearing my voice well and I had to repeat my self couple times. It’s really not what I expected from Bose I think it’s only for music but not to make calls with it.

Thank you for sharing your experience
You sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger At 1:18 😭
I heard the same and it made me laugh. It was good. Thanks
Could you do Sennheiser mtw4 vs az80?
I play poker and Open Earbuds Ultra are perfect, click the button to pause, I can play a hand and hear everything at the table, then click button to return to the music. No need to pull out/put in earbuds or take off headphones and put back on. This iis the perfect solution for poker players.
It’s great a deal when you get all your bose products half off
im confused lol im where jbl audio but im able to hear a bose sound cant i just keep my jbl since i here what they sould like anyways
Thank you for the actual sound difference DEMONSTRATION! So many reviewers talk about what they sound like instead of actually showing what they sound like. Thank you!
No problem!
Review momentum tws 4 please 🙌
This was such a helpful video! Thank you!
Too expensive and the mics are terrible
@@jewmajorj😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jewmajorjHow ? I have Bose Opens and I dont think so .
I disagree. I think the mics are terrible first, then too expensive second. 😮😮
Have them, mics are trash!! No one can hear me at all! They say I sound under water 😂
They are known for great sound not mics LoL
It has a background noise when playing music in a quiet space😅
Just buy the tozo openbuds and save a lot of money.
Bought it, and yes the mic sucks, it lacks wireless charging, multipoint connection and it’s overpriced for what you get. I ended up with the Huawei Freeclip, which has everything mentioned missing in the Bose including a better mic.
How you get the freeclip? Im trying to get some too.
Bose is shitty and overpriced, I don't think bose will compete in the sound quality department any more..
Give an alternative mate
Bose is lost
I love the comfort of these but no bass and too expensive 😢
i think the no bass is so youll be aware of you surroundings. That’s why they have the QCs
@@brianwashington2449 i have these now and the bass levels are better than expected. Very satisfied with these ear buds
For open back earbuds they actually have very good bass. Maybe your hearing is going bad or you are just lying.
Bas gücü yeterli değil hatta hiç yok. Estetik olarak iyi değil komik görünüyor. Earbuds Ultra'yı tercih ediyorum

I find this product overpriced…not for this earbuds this time…stick to my AirPods Max and AirPods Pro for now….
I still prefer cheapest one sold at apple : beatsflex … bass is good to be honest and dont need to bother taking out the case out of ur pocket
nice review
Thanks!
Bose is adding multipoint pairing to its latest earbuds via firmware update.
These are meant to be worn for long periods of time, they should have at least 10hrs of battery life
I really like this design, but there's an issue. It disconnects when I connect to the GARMIN Fenix 6s to play music and activate the running mode. This happens eight times an hour. Both the software is up-to-date.
They look great, but the mic isn’t worth the money. I wait for the next generation if there is a future for them
It has a background noise when playing music in a quiet space😅
Please do a comparison with the Shokz Openfit
No true😮bullshit

Bose ultra open ear vs Huawei free clip..which is good
Do the QCU really sound that horrible?
I have a pair and they sound very good
How are the Huawei open ear ? Have you tested those ?
The best I've used so far! Loud and clear for music and calls, the only thing is people think they are earrings all the time.
What kinda fan is it
Is it available in india
