Form vs Function

I have been happy with the sound quality when just using these for music or streaming which I know if the primary intent. However, I bought these to use for work calls via Bluetooth on my pc or my phone. Feedback from listeners is the sound is not good on their end. I do love the open ear style and this was my primary reason for purchasing since I have had ear pain from over the ear headsets and I do not like earbuds. Unfortunately, I have received enough complaints that the form is not outweighing the function for the cost.

Cool design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My fiancee gifted them 3 weeks ago. They fit well in my ears. I love the immersion feature. Found out only today that you can click the button on the ear to play/pause. Ive always used Bose headphones. This was a fun thing to try.

Best Earbud Type Headphone. Hands Down!!

Got these 4 months ago. These are hands down the best earbud type headphones I’ve ever owned and I’ve tried ALOT! My ears are really small so all others I tried either fall off, fall out, and just plain hurt my ears. These headphones right here are the truth!! They clip on which is so much better. They are comfortable, stay on my ear, and do not hurt. Most of the time I forget they are on. They are better than advertised, and of course sounds quality is great. This is a real review, not something fake to get you to buy it. I’m just very appreciative.

Not Sure

I’m not a fan of them at all, I own just about all Bose head sets and others products of Bose, I’m a long time customer. These ear plug have excellent sound however, it’s difficult to wear in my left ear, it’s discomforting in my left ear, it’s very discomforting, I gave them to my daughter who’s paying me installments! lol!

Awesome for hearing aid users

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these as an anniversary gift. I use hearing aids and I love that they do t interfere with them. Not having to remove my hearing aids to use them is a plus! I love my headphones, but I wish there would be a way to track them if lost. Also I often get people telling me they can’t hear me when on phone calls. Other than that they are very stylish and sound amazing!

Worth it if traditional buds don’t fit

I received the Bose open earbuds as a product test and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. They are unlike any other earbuds I have ever used, as they do not go inside your ear canal, but rather sit on the outer edge of your ear. This means that they do not block out any ambient noise, which is great for situational awareness and safety, especially when I use them at the gym or go for a run. They also do not fall out of my ears, which is a common problem I have with other earbuds. The sound quality of the Bose open earbuds is amazing, as expected from Bose. They deliver crisp and clear audio, with balanced bass and treble. The battery life is also impressive, as they last for up to 8 hours on a single charge. The Bluetooth connection is stable and reliable, and the controls are easy to use. The only downside of the Bose open earbuds is that they take some time to get used to. At first, they felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable on my ears, and I was worried that they would slip off. But after a few days of wearing them, I got used to the fit and feel, and they became very comfortable and secure. I also had to adjust the volume and equalizer settings on my phone to get the best sound experience. Overall, I would highly recommend the Bose open earbuds to anyone who is looking for a unique and innovative way to listen to music, podcasts, or calls. They are perfect for the gym, as they do not interfere with your workout, and they let you hear your surroundings. They are also great for everyday use, as they are lightweight and durable. They are definitely worth a try!

Better than I expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only been using these for a couple of weeks but I’m a fan. I was honestly skeptical about how they would stay on and the way they would feel during a run. I’m the type of person who can’t do AirPods and like my headphones to feel secure. These stay in place really well. I enjoyed not having buds in my ears for my longer runs and these give me the ability to hear what is going on around me. If they are turned up loud enough you can drown out the outside sound as well.

Super Comfortable for all day wear

[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.

Light weight & good for music!

I have been using the open earbuds for few weeks now. These are really great for a active lifestyle, running, hiking or in the gym. I have used them while shopping and in the malls. I really like it how they stay in place and are light weight so the ears do not feel fatigued. Also while listening to music one can hear around the surroundings, which is helpful. The bass/volume on the music is good but not at the same level as Bose's in ear buds that I also use. I would think this is expected, because the speakers are clipped outside the ears and one would hear the music accordingly ( instead of the ear phones inside the ear ). The only con, for which I am unable to rate this higher is the call quality. Even with cranking up the volume all the way cannot hear what the other person is saying! For anyone using ear buds often for calls it would be a challenge. Maybe I have not found the right setting or maybe there may be some future firmware update to hopefully improve this.

Connectivity Issues and Underwhelming Quality

I recently purchased the Bose Ultra Earbuds, expecting premium sound and quality given Bose’s reputation, but unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the overall experience.In addition to the other drawbacks, I encountered significant connectivity issues with the Bose Ultra Earbuds. Pairing them with my devices was inconsistent, with frequent dropouts and interruptions during playback. Even after following all troubleshooting steps, the connection would often lag or disconnect entirely, particularly in busy environments with multiple Bluetooth signals.
