If I had to give someone a quick, down and dirty written review of these headphones, I think this would be it. I have been looking for earbuds like these for a while. I have a small ear canal, so using earbuds that fit into my ear Canals comfortably is hard for me. The Bose stay inside my ears regardless of what I'm doing, and the fit is very comfortable for long periods of wear, they are very comfortable. These do not have noise-canceling but excellent sound quality. If you're getting them so you can hear the environment's true outside sounds due to the open design, they are perfect at blending the two, outside sounds and inside sounds. I guess the volume at which you listen to media also determines how much of the outside you hear, but don't get dismayed no matter how loud the music is you will still hear extremely loud and important things such as car horns sirens etc. If that is the kind of environment that you use your earbuds, you won't be disappointed, these are perfect. I have used a lot of headphones and earbuds that have accompanied software, and I have to say that these have some of the best software that I have used. The companion Bose headphone app has all the useful feature like and EQ and more. It also has some features that I haven't seen before, like tap touch control. This feature comes in handy when you're wearing a beanie or hat that covers your ears. The Charging case snaps closed, and the ear buds snap into the case through magnets and clips, and they are super secure in my opinion, just in case you drop them. The battery life is great on them also I use them for the past couple of days for long periods of time, and I was not able to completely drain them in a single listen. The Sound quality is fantastic for open design headphones. All in all, these are my new favorite everyday driver headphones. This review pertains to the points that are import to me. I purchased them at the launch price and I think they are worth it. Get these if they are similar to what you prefer if they get a little cheaper, or they go on sale, it's a no-brainer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These buds are really only good for listening to music.. or if you're moving a lot they won't fall off. I have them a low score because they have connection delays.. incoming and outgoing calls. And I couldn't understand why.. but they suddenly disconnect.. and refuse to reconnect until you go into the Bluetooth settings, put them back in the case.. and redo the connection.. it was annoying I felt for 300 bucks they should hand performed much better.

I bought these open earbuds 3 weeks ago. Best purchase ever. I hate wearing traditional earbuds since they fall out. These earbuds stay in place no matter how i move my head. Sound is great. I was afraid that since they are not noise canceling i would hear everything around me. On the contrary the noise around me is minimal.

I got these about two weeks ago and love them. They're great when you want full stereo sound and still be able to hear the surroundings, like walking out in the street or just sitting at the office. you can still hear someone call your name and also get the awesome quality sound that Bose is known for.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these to try out the open ear concept,contemplating on returning due to connectivity issues and the call quality not being quite what I thought it would be for a Bose product and the price tag. Gonna give it another week or so before I make a decision.

I have been wearing my Ultra Open EarBuds for a few weeks now and I love them. Sound quality is what I expect from Bose products and it did not disappoint. The earbuds are so light in the ears. I forget I have them on at times. They are very attractive and I have received many compliments. I have the white pair. It took a few wears to get used to putting them on since I have long curly hair but well worth it when I got the hang of it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great open ear buds that are comfortable for all day wearing. Easy to operate and they seamlessly connect to my iMac & iPhone. I enjoy the audio quality for both music and YouTube videos. My only complaint would be the phone quality and volume is lacking and can be improved. Overall these are better than the 1st sport open ear buds. Recommend for people like me who don’t care to shove earbuds into the canal.

So far really please with this product. They are earbuds you didn’t know you needed. Previously I would use QC noise cancelling earbuds at the office and gym. Now these are the go to ones to use. All day comfort and never needing adjusting. Once you find the fitment place on the ear for you forget they are there. No more pausing and or removing an earbud to clearly hear someone, or missing something someone said. The buttons are easy to use and give you positive feel of pressing a button versus just touching an object (earbud). Once weather is warmer I really feel these will be the earbuds to use while cycling as it will allow me to hear my surroundings while enjoying the music at the same time. Sound is typical Bose quality deep rich music - good bass and clear. The big difference the the staying in place and all day comfort they provide.

I’ve had my Bose Open Earbuds for about two weeks now and I do like them. The sound is very good as far as music or listening to a book. The only issue I have with them is the phone sound quality for the people that I’m talking to. They always ask me to repeat what I’ve said because they can’t hear me very well. If you could improve on this I would gladly give 5 stars!!

I absolutely love these headphones ! They stay on your ear without any ear fatigue and the sound quality of awesome especially for ear buds . I have bought these in chilled lilac , the Bose sound flex speaker in lilac ,the Bose ultra comfort headphones in black and also the Bose smart speaker in black . The quality of these products exceeds pretty much any other brand in my opinion , the sound quality is amazing and an experience . And LOVE THE BASS<3
