This Bose Ultra Open Earbuds changed the way I use my earbuds, in this case earclips. In the beginning, I wasn't impressed much and I was ready to give it an average review, until I realized I must have received a defective unit. I gave it another shot and got my unit replaced and once I received the new unit, I surprisingly started to enjoy my use of it. There are still things I wish it had but I would say all those are not a deal breaker.
So let's get in the details, let's start with things that I see that it lacks, then I'll share things that it is good at. This is based on my use case, somethings maybe important to somebody else
CONS:
1. No multi-device pairing
- thisis a big one for me as I use my earbuds or headset on both my phone and my work laptop.
2. No wireless charging
- I didn't know this is a big deal but my side table had a single charging for my watch, phone and earbuds. Didnt really like to add another cable in the bedroom. Its nice that Bose have an accessory to provide wireless charging, but after shelling out a premium price for this, do i really wanna shell out another +/- $50 to have it?
4. No IP68 rating
- for a being the best buds for all day use and a premium price, having better protection on sweat, moisture and dust is expected
5. No touch control
- this is something that all my buds have, with a wide cuff area, that can easily be added.... I'll give them a passsince there's a button included
6. No widget support on Android
- im definitely missing seeing the battery levels of both my buds and case. Its still there but you need to open the app.
PROS:
1. Great sound for an open earbuds
- i am able to watch nba from mobile in a room with kids running, dog barking, tv playing -- and i can still hear the game pretty well.
3. Air Conduction technology
- ive used bone conducting headphones before and its ok but the sound from this is much better. No weird vibrating sesation as well.
4. Most comfortable earbuds for all day use
- this one by far made me downplays theneed for the CONS. The fact that i can wear and forget without having the need to remove it or feel my ear getting tired, its something I definitely enjoy. I put away my other earbuds and made this my primary device unlessI needed something with noise canceling.
I love it now compared to when I first got it. However, i still feel that the price is too high as it lacks major earbuds functionality. But yeah, i will still use this now as my daily ear buds
