Bose Ultra Open Earbuds on Amazon: amzn.to/3uF288P
Turn on immersive audio. adjust the EQ. Treble boost. My phone calls were terrible in the beginning until I did this. I now talk literally all day with them. The person hear me just fine and vice versa.
Je to naprostá bomba❤!Nejlepší sluchatka které jsem kdy mel!
Great review! I especially appreciated recording how the voice pickup sounds, and describing the shortcut options. Thanks!
Glad you found the review helpful!
agreed the microphone test was really helpful
Mine arrived moments ago. They came with a 60 percent charge and I was able to pair them with my iPhone without any difficulty. The fit and feel are incredible, as is the sound quality in my opinion. Expensive, but I think they will be worth it.
Jsou super a navíc krásné!Jsem s nimi nadmíru spokojen❤👍!Nelituji!
Your review was very informative and I really appreciate you providing a sample of a phone call and how it sounds for the other person.
I recently purchased the ultra open earbuds and find that during phone calls people have a very difficult time hearing me or do not hear me at all. I sometime have to go to speaker to respond.
Overall…I really enjoy the earbuds. The sound quality is excellent for open ear. Controls are easy. I am very active and have had NO ISSUES with the earbuds staying in place. They are comfortable. Good product, but definitely needs work with the phone call output.
Definitely agreed. Thanks for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the review!
Just got these and got to say they sound really good bass response just adjust the EQ. I wore it for over 6 hours n no fatigue
Very innovative for a first gen product. I’ll wait for the second gen for Multi-point and better sound. I like the idea of these though being able to wear them all day and not even knowing they are there. Bose is stepping up their game lately!
How do you answer the phone while listening to to Bose open earbud? The presentation was great. Very informative.
I love this product for the following reasons: I use mine while doing activities like fishing where I want to still be able to hear my environment. Also, while riding my bike on a public road or running on a public, lightly trafficking road; all of these situations I need open earbuds. I wish there was wireless wireless charging but that’s definitely not a dealbreaker for me. How do I justify the $300 price? I use them 8 to 12 hours a day in situations where I need to hear my family, or traffic, or fish jumping, etc. For how much I use them I feel it’s worth paying for the best audio quality I can get. Their warranty department is also second to none which makes me a lot more confident in spending this kind of money.
That was an excellent explanation of WHY there are specific groups of people who would be interested in this type of earbuds. Some people just don't get it. I would like to see more videos comparing very similar open earbuds, such as those from Sony or Huawei.
Tyto Bose sluchatka jsou opravdu skvele!Perfektně drží na uších,jsou velice pohodlné,krásné zejména v bílém provedení!Za mě, samé plus!Jsou to nejlepší sluchatka které jsem kdy mel!Teď si je užívám i nosim jako módní doplnek❤!
Myself I have this pressure problem in my right ear, having earbuds or headphones just aren't right for me. As I constantly need to plug my nose and release that pressure in my ear, these are ideal for me.
I have these. At first I didn’t like them. But after changing the EQ these things are awesome.
How does hip-hop or rock music sound?
Sometimes, you can find it on a payment plan, and I think it looks so pretty and cool
I want it but the price does not justify it. I rather wait solid year for them to come down or see if there any promo deals.
The review that is missing for me is Apple AirPods Pro 2 transparency mode vs. Bose ultra open. I think it’s helpful in making a decision, especially where the AirPods actually cost less. I do greatly appreciate the point about comfort. I for one do not enjoy earbuds in my ears. Sometimes they hurt. I never get the seal. So for $300 these have to check all the boxes. If I buy them I can switch to something else for a zoom call and use these on a walk where there may be traffic. Maybe that’s the point? That these may not be your only earbuds nor should they be. They serve a very specific purpose at a very specific time. Comfort is important and from all the reviews I’ve seen there’s agreement that these are comfortable. But then as you mentioned … so many things a pair of premium earbuds in 2024 should have that these don’t makes it a non-starter for some. Can I handle the missing wireless charging? Absolutely. Can I handle the music not stopping when I remove an earbud? I don’t think I can. This is a feature I have grown accustomed to and quite frankly expect. Ultimately this makes me want to search for a solution to make my AirPods more comfortable. Just as we’re blasting Bose for its oversights, Apple should be ashamed of being on the 5th version of AirPods (3 regular and 2 pro) where they are still uncomfortable and not always fully secure.
Excellent points you make. In terms of transparency mode, Apple has one of the best transparencies I've tested. Slightly better on the AirPods Max than the Pros, but still the Pros deliver very natural-sounding transparency. But it's not _natural_ as in, your ears are still blocked, and you're using external mics to pick up sounds and project them into your ear. As such, it simply cannot sound as "natural" as the Bose Open, which literally leave your ears...open. But..... I would say you're about 85% there with the AirPods Pro. Regarding comfort and secure fit, I fully agree with you as well. I never felt they would stay securely in my ears either. That's why I use memory foam tips. For my ear size and shape, I find these tips quite good; they expand in your ear so provide a better and more secure seal. I did do a review of them in the past if you're interested; th-cam.com/video/YUCHi9ngdbY/w-d-xo.html
This is very helpful! Thank you kindly. I will check out the other link and look into memory foam tips. I have toyed with the idea but never did it. If you have a particular brand you like I’d love to know - maybe that’s in the other link … haven’t had a chance to look yet.
@ScottKleinberg it is indeed. I’ve been using Comply tips for a few years and generally happy with them. Especially the V2 version. You will have some sort of running cost as they would require replacing every few months (depending on usage), but I’ve had these continuously on my AirPods Pro (and now AirPods Pro 2) ever since they first came out. Good luck!
@@RawansReviewsThank you so much!! I will look into these. Really appreciate it.
Great review, but the vacuum cleaner "in the background" test is a little intense. I would argue that vacuum cleaner was in the foreground! Not exactly a fair test. The roadside test is a lot more useful.
I want to buy a pair of these earbuds. But I might wait for them to go on sale. And maybe a different color.
I've traditionally always done a hairdryer test in all my call quality segments of headphones/earbuds. Later found a (cordless) vacuum to be more convenient, but must admit, it is louder. Agree it isn't "fair", but it's a stress test. Other buds and headphones I've reviewed have performed much better in that very test. Perhaps the poor performance of the Bose Ultra Open made it seem more unfair.
@RawansReviews Great point. Perhaps other models did perform better, making the test seem less extreme. This was my first time watching your reviews.
So you didn’t experience any issue w/ the standby mode enabling too frequently?
The chime while subtle when resuming media is driving me crazy.
Haven't experienced that actually!
Me too😢
I don't understand why a big company like Bose can't add wireless charging + multipoint connection on their expensive product, even cheap chinese brand have those feature this day
Yup--me neither!
i like to try but...expensive...and no wireless charging...multi connection
Bose sells a wireless charging cover for it on their website $49 currently sold out
Bose fails at the basic stuff... again. No multipoint in 2024 makes them a hard no. Phone calls are terrible... again. Nice review. Subbed.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment, and the sub!
You have to adjust the EQ. My phone calls were terrible also with bass mode turned up. Turn up your treble and bass all the way down. The person can now hear you and vice versa.
Id go freeclips
Which one has better sound?
Sound quality is great but the voice calling is not good at all.
Perhaps my pair is a lemon. I'm returning them because: they fail half the time I try to answer a phone call with them and they fail every time I try to use them once a phone call has started; even though I customized the modes to switch between my iPhone and my iPad, the feature only works about half the time and then reverts back to factory settings; people complain when I use them for zoom meetings because they say I sound like I'm calling from inside a tunnel; they randomly pick up audio from other peoples devices; they're not as comfortable as other people say they are; and the fact that they don't have sensors to know when they've been taken out of the ear and they continue to play… not acceptable in my opinion. I cannot recommend these earbuds at any price.
nonono. do the microphone quality test while cycling fast along a high trafficed road while having a business conversation.
All these people doing reviews. None of them saying that they suck. Shockz open fit are much louder, and the app doesn't lose connection. Plus way too expensive. Always a problem with Bose. I like the design, but that's it. Just get Shockz open fit. You're welcome
I do really like the design of the Bose Open Earbuds, they work really well for me. Whereas the Shockz OpenFit physically won’t work for me. Although the price of the Bose I’m not sure why it’s so high.
Guess what? Not everyone wants what everyone has.
My ears don't work at all with these bud styles. And I don't like Shockz - they hurt. I'm going to sacrifice my comfort over sound performance? Nope.
I'll get the Bose.
$300 ain't no big deal. Folks aint fussin' over a $1300 phone or a $80,000 luxury pick up truck either. They won't worry about this price either. Bose has never been cheap anyway...
@@salemdesigns65 comfort >>>
Otherwise they don't end up staying in your ear to be enjoyable!
What about Huawei Free Clip? They created this style of earbud design that Bose copied and they have more features.
@@VividTheaterit’s Chinese. Nobody wants that crap
No wireless - no deal. I have 1 triple and 2 single wireless chargers. Cables are annoying.
Couldn’t agree more ;)
👁️🔫
These aren't that special you can't even understand a caller on the phone and vice versa - very disappointing. Had mine a week - taking them back to the store.
They look like the cheap earring buds sold on Amazon.
Way over priced ‼️‼️‼️
Agreed!
In my opinion, they don't worth the money, hence I will not be purchasing them.
I would have arrived at that very same conclusion!
@@RawansReviews I don't normally wear earphones more than 2 - 3 hours at a time, so comfortability is never an issue for me. For those high-end earphones, they do have transparency mode, so there's environmental awareness. On top of it, there's no wireless charging, for Pete's sake, we're living in the 21st century. Without ANC is a showstopper for me.
Fully agreed. And the transparency mode on some has gotten quite good to the point that it sounds 'almost' natural as well. On the wireless charging bit; I've gotten a lot of heat on this channel before when I mention that on premium earbuds (like my review of the Bose QC Buds II and QC Ultras). Unacceptable for me, but the general population tends to disagree on that point at least. Glad someone out there thinks otherwise!
@@RawansReviews I'm very satisfied with my Pixel Buds Pro which I got them for free when I purchased my Google Pixel phone. These little wonders have everything under the sun. Wireless charging, Long Battery Hours, Spatial Audio, Good ANC, very comfortable to wear and the best thing is Google actually rolls out firmware every 6 months. I've received 2 firmware updates since I bought the earphones. The only gripe I've is that they don't support Hi-Res AptX codecs, but it's no biggie for me. If I were to buy another ANC earbuds, I'd consider the Sony XM5s once the price has dropped significantly, as they've received raved reviews.
Thank GOD you told me this ! Please let me know when you have a bowel movement 2 !
Bose has become such a joke… 🤡
Sadly, I question some of Bose's latest decisions as well...
You need some lip balm my guy
good vid tho
I've seen tons of strange comments on my videos, gotta admit, this was the strangest feedback to date! :D But thanks!
This design/concept is nothing new, it's been around for at least 3 years, and the Huawei Clip is the best iteration of it for a lot cheaper.
They don’t sound as good as the QC Ultra Earbuds, nor do they cancel noise while being more expensive. I honestly don’t get the purpose of these other than looking cool and maybe being comfortable.
Well the purpose is for people who either can't wear/don't like in-ear earbuds, or want complete awareness. That I get. What I don't get is why they're priced the same as the QC Ultra's (even higher right now as the QC are discounted), which, as you say, sound better, and have one of the best ANC out there...!
I have to wear stilettos to be cooler than the other chick? Jacking up my feet to compete? Naww. It doesn't work like that.
Some of us desire to opt functionality and comfortability with their devices (and shoes) over social trends.
