Bose is synonymous for quality. And, while the Bose Ultra Earbuds are definitely quality, there are drawbacks that could drive some away. While the small, sleek design is lightweight and comfortable to wear, putting them on can be a sometimes quirky and tedious process. Sound quality for videos is solid, but phone call volume is low (even cranked all the way up), and bleed from background noise can hinder some conversations. Audio for music is clear, but don't expect much bottom-end (bass) at all. Unfortunately, it's just not there. Also, the "Immersive Audio" is nice, but it drains the battery at an alarming rate. With it off, you're getting about seven and a half hours to eight hours. With it on however, you're getting between four to four and a half hours. For someone, like me, who wears them while working, it feels like as soon as your put them on, your battery is low, and they need to be re-charged. Maybe this can be fixed in a future firmware update. One can only hope. All in all, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are very nice, there is absolutely no doubt about it. But, the audio idiosyncrasies and inconsistences, middling battery life (with "Immersive Audio" on), and lack of depth in features could be just off-putting enough to keep some consumers at arm's length.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have an extremely comfortable fit for my ear and I barely notice they are there. I've used them while running, hiking, and walking and they stay put. With other earbuds, I was constantly feeling like they were about to fall out; I don't have that worry with these. Most importantly, I am very pleased and impressed with the sound quality! The listening experience with these, even as open model, was better than other earbuds I've been using. I like using both the standard and immersive settings. The only thing that slightly bothers me is having to get the app to pair them with my phone and devices Well worth the cost, would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the open ear buds are great. I do a lot of walking and outside activity. I don’t even know I have them on except for the great sounding music I hear along with everything I hear going on around me. I sound is “Bose” amazing. Well worth the price. Another great Bose product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are a game-changer! From the moment I put them on, I was struck by how comfortable and stylish they are. It's rare to find earbuds that not only deliver amazing sound but also look great. I’m seriously tempted to buy them in every color. If you're looking for earbuds that blend comfort, style, and top-notch audio quality, these are a must-try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product!! Alway had issues with in ear pods due to active life style. But with the Bose Ultra Open, you can move around and it stay snug fit and sometimes forget it’s even on me!! Give them a 5 star!!

My wife has super sensitive ears and doesn’t like having the earplug headphones pushed inside the ear canal. These are the answers to anyone who has similar ear issues with headphones. She has small ears and does aggressive work, and they stayed in for all of the 9 hours that she has them on. When I call her they sound clear when she speaks to me and she hears me well. She also likes that they aren’t noise canceling because she feels safer hearing her surroundings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super Comfortable, easy to forget they are in, or rather on the ear. Sound quality is very good, but not as good as a true in-ear device. Features are comparable to all the premium Bose Ultra buds. Only downside is callers can definitely tell when I am wearing these compared to the QC Ultra IIs the mics do not pickup nearly as well as the in-ears. If Bose can improve the outbound audio these will be the default earbud to wear all day in an office environment.

Great sound for music. However, I got these to use for work meetings on my laptop and I've been told it's hard to hear me and I sound echo-y. Ditto for using with my iPhone for Facetime; my family actually gets frustrated. Can't recommend if you want to use them for more than music!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these as a trial for some athletic activities. The fit is amazing and sound quality is really solid. I believe they are a little pricey though which is why I'm giving them a 4 star rating. There's other options in a better price range.

I purchased on November 11th a pair of Bose Ultra Open Earbuds Rechargeable Battery, Diamond 60th Edition. The right one has a few different problems isn’t very secure on my ear (feels like it’s going to fall off), doesn’t hold a charge like the left one and has a buzz sometimes. Chatted with 2 different reps. Reset the earbuds as per the advice from the 1st rep and paired it back up to my phone (which was not a piece of cake) same issues. Was told by the 2nd rep to return them and they would send me out another pair. I checked on the return today and found out that it can take up to 4 weeks to receive my new ones. 4 WEEKS! Are you kidding me! Not very happy with Bose at this stage of the game. My other question is what happens to my warranty while I’m twiddling my thumbs waiting and Bose has my $250? Not Happy at all.
