Bose x Kendra Scott Ultra Open Earbuds - Rhodium Filigree

Make sure you are purchasing these for the right reasons.
I’ve had them since Dec 18th & it’s now the 29th - so I’ve been using them non stop. REASONS: My reason I wanted them was not for the sound - I wanted something super comfortable & secure on my ears that didn’t scream headphones - I wanted something aesthetically pleasing. I also wanted something more discrete. What I wanted was a way to be able to listen to audio books or podcasts on the DL - to allow for music or a podcast to ground me when I’m overwhelmed or overstimulated. PROS: They are gorgeous. These are delicate works of art - very ornate with the rhodium filigree. THEY ARE GORGEOUS. Everything about them is luxurious- from the packaging & the box - they really shadowed this being a very aesthetic jewelry purchase (& TBH I’m not a fan of Kendra Scott jewelry) They are very secure - I’ve worn them in my sleep & they stayed on. Wore them for an outdoor run or walk & they did not budge. Super comfortable & my ears don’t feel pinched or suffocated like a lot of open ear air buds do! I love being immersed in sound - but I have other headphones for that reason. These are strictly for when I’m walking my dog or working in the office. It’s allowing me to not make music the priority of my focus. I would never wear these in the gym unless I’m welcoming the distractions. There is no sound isolation or blocking AT ALL. Strange for Bose and granted the immersive sound is there - but honestly these are tiny comfortable speakers in your ear with immersive sound -they have to be adjusted to find that right placement. I’ve tried a LOT of open headphones & these are the best for comfort, power disbursement (battery life is amazing - used them all day in a 8-9 hour workday), & just general use. CONS: These are not trackable on your phone. If I was going by the retail price of $379 - that’s ridiculous. Granted it’s not an Apple ecosystem product, but plenty of headphones use bluetooth to track. This does not & if it does in any way - it’s weak. You loose or misplace them someone can pick them up. I remedy this with a case or an airtag case. There is no wireless charging - or USB C to USB C cord (it’s an USB A to USB C). Why? I don’t know. It’s 2025 - at least include one of these charging pluses. The case itself, it feels cheap & very light. There’s a magnet that allows headphones to display the filigree side upon opening ( I think all Ultra Open allow that side to be displayed) - but the case itself is very plastic with no metal finishes. In terms of usage, I am worried about how delicate the cuff is & the are the materials made from it durable for the long run. The IPX4 rating too as well - these are water resistant not water proof - so if you are a sweaty person or a swimmer - take that into account. SUM: There isn’t a single moment I regret my purchase especially when they dropped to the $250ish range. At $379-400? No. I have a pair of Ipod Maxes that are 500-600$. So it’s hard for me to justify the price for these. So the 20% off, the 5% from the Target card, & a 10$ bonus made it sweet. I love the design of these headphones, the security, & the comfort. I have headphones for when I do not want to be present & submerse myself in music -these are not it - these are headphones that make me be present & aware of my surroundings.

Was a skeptic, NOT ANYMORE! ????????
I am one of those skeptics. Didn’t know how good they would sound, how they fit or anything, but I kept being curious. So I bought them on their sale. I got the blue carbon, added the app, put them on, synced them(easily),… and once my music came on…. Ya, I wasn’t a skeptic anymore. I’m telling u right now…. DONT PASS THESE UP! They sound exactly what they are supposed to, and better! Other reviews say “it’s hard to put on, it doesn’t sound great, it’s hard to adjust the sound, don’t stay on ears”… No! It’s all easy. Ya, it may need mini adjustments, but it stays put on ur ears! Ya it is a bit discomfiting, but it’s nothing crazy. Overall: GET THEM! ????????

Perfect!
Wow! This is the first pair of open earbuds that I have tried out. I am absolutely in love with these little beauties. It literally feels like I am not wearing any headphones at all. They fit so snuggly, yet softly on my ears. The sound quality is top notch too! You can control the volume or phone calls with your voice, or just a touch of the button. These vids are just perfection!

Stunning jewelry with great sound
Absolutely gorgeous headphones that are the most comfortable I have ever worn. I hate earbuds and full size headphones are not the most practical when traveling. These are beautiful, comfortable, lightweight with great sound quality. The box looks like a jewelry box the filigree is intricate and goes well with my jewelry.

Super comfortable but not the best for phone calls
I’ve been using these Bose headphones for a while and overall they’re really comfortable. You can wear them for hours and barely even feel that they’re on your head which makes them great for long trips or work. The comfort level is one of the best things about them. The biggest flaw I’ve found is when I have them on during a phone call sometimes I can’t hear people talking and people can’t really hear me either which is not great. The noise cancellation while listening to music works really well though and makes it easy to focus only on what I’m listening to. The sound quality is clear and balanced and you can hear the music nicely without distortion. However there’s almost no bass which is a bummer if you like deeper sounds or heavy beats. The sound is clean but a little flat because of that. Still for everyday listening podcasts or they do a great job. The build feels lightweight but sturdy and they sit nicely on your ears without pressure. If you want comfort and clarity over strong bass these Bose headphones are a great choice .
