Frequency response notes (measured)
Bass extends lower than the first generation but remains below the review preference curve below about 80 Hz. Treble is less harsh than the original. The review reports bass distortion at higher listening volumes.5Reviewsoundguys.com/bose-ultra-open-earbuds-2nd-gen-review-164060Read 8 October 2026Exact review objective measurements compare with the SoundGuys headphone preference curve. No numeric target deviations or graph-derived values stored.
SoundGuys describes a bright, spacious sound that is light on bass, which is typical of open earbuds. The two bass enhancement levels add audible distortion. Anti-leakage mode makes the sound muffled. Company-provided unit tested for 5 days. Firmware is not stated.9Measurementsoundguys.com/i-tested-the-79-cmf-clip-pro-and-my-favorite-feature-is-back-161502Read 20 October 2026Review text on sound. No chart values are converted to numbers.

Call quality notes (measured)
Artificial test-head recordings have clear voice in quiet conditions. Office and street noise suppression also removes much of the voice, leaving it muffled. The windy sample contains almost no audible speech. The non-vibrating test head cannot activate the voice pickup units as a real person would, so real calls may differ.5Reviewsoundguys.com/bose-ultra-open-earbuds-2nd-gen-review-164060Read 8 October 2026Exact review quiet, office, street and windy recordings use an artificial test head that does not vibrate like a real human head. The voice pickup units cannot work as they do on a real person, so actual calls may differ. These sample results cannot establish complete real-person VPU-assisted call performance.
SoundGuys reports that voices sound good in ideal conditions. In its office, street and windy demos the algorithm struggles to keep the voice while suppressing noise, so voices sound muffled. Wind is the hardest case. Company-provided unit. Firmware is not stated.9Measurementsoundguys.com/i-tested-the-79-cmf-clip-pro-and-my-favorite-feature-is-back-161502Read 20 October 2026Review text and the ideal, office, street, windy and reverberant demos.
