Bose Ultra Open Earbuds A
Great Sound, Not Comfortable

I placed my order on Amazon and received my Bose Open Earbuds the next day. Set-up was very easy. I already had the Bose app, however if you do not, you would need to download the app. On the app there is a tutorial of what to do as well as settings to make changes to your liking. You can change modes, adjust equalizer settings, shortcuts, and your Bluetooth source. It displays the battery life of each earbud and what you’re listening to. Another feature is that you can pick your shortcut and which earbud to use said shortcut. One issue with the app is that it does not always connect immediately even though the case is nearby, and I am using the earbuds. I usually must leave the app, press the button on the case and go back in the app for the connection to work.
I usually use only one earbud at a time. However, when using both earbuds, you can still hear your surroundings, which is why I only wear one. However, there are times when I only want to hear what’s coming from the buds and not my surroundings and because of the open buds I cannot. I like that there in nothing going inside my ear canal. However, the big barrel behind my ear and the way it must clip onto the ear, starts to hurt within the hour. So, comfortability is very short lived, which is unfortunate since I wear my buds for hours. Aesthetically, they are a little bulky looking, but they look nice.
The earbuds sound great. Listening to audible books and when talking on the phone, the sound is clear and quality great. Others can hear what you are listening to if they are nearby, which I do not like. Background noises are very amplified in comparison to my voice when I am talking on the phone. When I am in a quiet environment, my callers can hear me clearly.
The earbuds tell you when you connect them, when the battery life is running low, and the phone number calling you.
There is a little bit of a lag when using the play/pause feature. Sometimes the play/pause feature does not work at all, and I must use the app of the program I am listening to to get started.
The longevity of the battery life for the case and ear buds are great. Within 1 week, I’ve only had to charge the case twice. The case took me approximately two hours to charge. The buds also charge quickly.
