These open-ear Bose earbuds fit securely, are comfortable for long wear, and excel in quiet environments like the workplace, allowing seamless multitasking. However, their open design makes them less suitable for loud settings, where audio can be hard to hear. As expected from Bose, sound quality and adaptive features remain top-notch.

I made my purchase and bought a silicone case for earplugs. The shipping was sent separately, and it took much longer than I expected. My Boss headphones sometimes don't charge properly, but when they do, the battery lasts. They're comfortable and have good sound. They're great if you like to be able to hear what's going on around you even when you're listening to music. I bought mine on February 17th, and I still haven't received a replacement.

I have truly been enjoying using my new Bose Ultra Open Earbuds! Once finding the correct fit on my ear (simply sliding up and down your ear), they have felt weightless and surprisingly snug around my ears. The comfort of the open ear design has been one of the biggest stand outs for me. I've had to check sometimes to make sure they were still there. With Bose's other earbud products, though the noise cancelling was phenomenal, I could never quite find the best fit and not feel pain using them for extended periods of time. I love that I can be listening to music/radio/podcasts and still be able to be present when I'm at home with my children. The open ear design allows for better situational awareness that can be compromised with Noise cancelling features on other products. I've felt a lot more safer wearing these earbuds compared to my Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones when I am riding the subway or walking through the busy New York streets. The Immersion Audio feature on these earbuds really help them stand out from other earbud designs. You really do feel like the music is all around you, especially during indoor use. I highly recommend checking these out. They have been a great addition to my ever-growing family of audio products from Bose!

I bought these a month ago, I was really skeptical on if they were going to be loud enough since they don’t fully go in the ear and these definitely fit up to my expectations. When I go to the gym I can turn them up and not hear anyone but when I’m at the store I can have them lower and hear everyone, it’s honestly perfect. Also, I love how they fit. I play video games a lot and when I wear my headset too long it starts to hurt my ears, my old phone earbuds use to hurt as well, but not these. I fell asleep in them multiple times and didn’t wake up with pain. They’re also fit nice on my 6 year old which is a surprise as she hates wearing headphones and using earbuds. She’s had to use them when overstimulated and once again they were successful at shutting the world out. I plan to buy my entire family a set!! 10/10 recommend!

I bought these 2 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with them. I use them at work in a lab. I am able to listen to music while still communicating with my coworkers. I also really like these earbuds because I have small earbuds and other earbuds hurt my ears but these don’t since they don’t go all the way into my ear.

I bought these a few weeks ago, I love them! They are pretty easy to control and they have great sound. *The only thing I could think of that would make them even better would be to put a small strip of padding on the Inside of the buds that would wrap around the ear to pad between the ear and the portion of the Earbud that Grips the ear. It gets a bit sore after while because you don’t want to take them off.

I've had these for a few months and overall am pleases. Pros - I like how they don't plug my ears and the sound is great. However, the 2 issues I have with them really hurt the experience. When using them for phone calls on my Galaxy S24 Ultra, people have a hard time hearing me speak. About 50% of the calls I jump on, I am forced to disconnect them and hold my phone to my ear like a caveman. The other issue is that randomly, 1 earbud (random which one) will occasionally just stop working so I have to put it on the case, close the case, open it and hope the software picks it back up again so it's start to work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these two weeks ago, love them. Love being able to hear what’s around me and what I want to hear privately. It’s like someone said I wanna take the ability to listen to music like it’s out loud and made it a private experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have these for a month now. Fits perfectly in my ears and they stay put while running. LOVE how comfortable they are and didn't make my ear aches after hours of uses. The functions were easy to use with a press of the ear buds. Only thing was I wished there was some type of noise cancelling system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a refurbished pair about a month ago before traveling abroad. They take a minute to get used to but are very comfortable for long-time wear and allow you to stay attuned to the environment around you. I find that often only one headphone will connect and I have to reset the other one by putting it back in the case and taking it out which is annoying for a product at this price point (even refurbished). I don’t have a great sense yet about how much other people can hear what I’m listening to so I’m always aware of that and, until I can get some feedback/testing in with people I know, I find that a bit of a detractor. I’ve also tried to take calls with them and always have to switch to my phone because of complaints about my audio. So these headphones are great for a very specific purpose—comfortable long-term wear when you don’t want to appear “plugged in” and remain aware of the environment around us. They do not match performance for taking calls, noise cancellation, or peak audio quality and that’s because that’s not how they’re designed. They won’t be my main headphones, but I will use them often for those very specific purposes.
