I brought this product last year and I’m not impressed by it. I know it’s better because it’s not inside my ear. Nevertheless, on the subway, bus, and/or in public in general I can hear everything and the volume is at max. The older version with the noise cancellation sounds much better and worth the price.

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds pack great audio in a small compact stylish way. The earbud fits comfortably, and stays in place. Upon receiving, downloading the app and syncing to my phone was easy and quick making it easy for anyone. Once synced, I was able to enjoy great sound and able to adjust the outside influences that would hinder sound quality. Switching from phone call to music is by a push of a button, very simple to alternate between the two. They are the perfect size for portability, making it easy to have anywhere and everywhere. I would definitely recommend these open earbuds, as the product makes having earbuds less of a hassle with no constant adjustments and making sure they stay in place

I have been wearing them for about 4 months now. They are much more comfortable than any others I have worn. They are great for walks when you still might need to be aware of your surroundings. Great in stores, but in my gym the music is often loud and the volume just can't get loud enough (but I am also getting a little hard of hearing). By far the most comfortable though. I have forgotten that I had them on!

Love love love these earbuds! I have tried several different brands and even changed out the rubber tips but was never able to wear any of them for more than an hour. My ears always hurt. Not so with these Bose open earbuds! I hardly even know they are there. I never have to adjust them to keep them from falling out either. They just stay put! Of course, being Bose, the sound is amazing. They paired easily with my Samsung phone as well as my android tablet too. I highly recommend these earbuds.

I went from the Sony wf1000xm4 series earbuds to these Bose QuiteComfort. These Bose are a good bit better than the xm4 series. Note that I did really like the Sony earbuds, and I suspect the new xm5 series where they resolved some customer complaints will still make them a great pair of buds. I just wanted a change to see the difference in the brands. The good - noise cancelling is fantastic! I just flew from Atlanta to Vegas roundtrip and with music playing I could not even hear the loud plane noises. Mowing the grass, also great, I can still hear the mower just a bit but I don't have to blast the music to drown it out like I did with the Sony. The medium size ear pieces fit perfectly for me, again also a better snug fit and more comfortable than the Sony. Sound quality is what you would expect from Bose, amazing. The app that is used with this model is really good, I like the ability to set the equalizer for the sound. The bad, but not really that bad - like most have mentioned, the carrying case is a bit large and bulky but does not bother me. I don't care they stick out of my ear, also something that does not bother me. So far, that's about it, I do really like them!. Last thought, for the price compared to the quite comfort ultra, you can't go wrong. I imagine the ultra are a bit better but I doubt I would be able to tell the difference. In addition, sorry Sony, but these are cheaper than the newer xm5 model. Overall, excellent earbuds!

I have been a Bose user for years and love my other quiet comfort earbuds. These earbuds are more comfortable and easier to grasp and put in. The case is smaller and more portable but the case is very slippery and feels cheap compared to the other earbuds case. I think if the case was easier to grasp, add a hole and clip and an addition case to personalize it would make it pretty close to perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for replacement for the Shokz bone conduction and I found it. Everything i loved the shokz, only 100 better. I forget I have them.on when I'm not listening to them and when they are playing the sound quality is unmatched! The controls are easy to master and the build is awesome. Bose has done it again.

I recently got my hands on an early release of the sleek designed Bose Noise Canceling Earbuds in the stunning White Smoke color, and I have to say, they are truly impressive. Here’s a breakdown of my experience: Pros: 1. Comfortable Fit: These earbuds are incredibly comfortable. I’ve worn them for extended periods during work, while traveling, and even at the gym. They stay in place perfectly, and I can barely feel them, even after hours of use. 2. Beautiful Design: The White Smoke color is sleek and modern. It gives a premium feel that sets these apart from other earbuds I’ve used. It's subtle but sharp—exactly the vibe I like. 3. Amazing Noise Canceling: The noise cancellation is on another level. I took these on a plane, and they completely blocked out the engine noise, making for a much more peaceful travel experience. Even when doing yard work or in a noisy gym, I could stay fully immersed in whatever I was listening to. 4. All-Day Wear: Thanks to their comfort, I had no problem wearing these all day long. Whether I was working at my desk or moving around the house, I never felt the need to take them out for a break. 5. Quick to Charge: A huge bonus is how quickly they charge. You don’t need to wait long to get a good battery boost, which is perfect for those of us who are always on the go. 6. Feature-Packed App: The Bose app is intuitive and comes packed with useful features like customizable EQ settings and different noise-canceling modes. It adds a lot to the user experience, allowing you to tailor the sound exactly how you want it. 7. Easy Pairing: Pairing these earbuds with my phone was a breeze. Within seconds, they were connected and ready to go without any annoying connectivity issues. 8. Stable Fit for Active Use: I’ve used these for various activities, from gym sessions to yard work, and they stay in my ears without any issues. Even when moving around or sweating, they remain secure and never feel like they’re going to fall out. Cons: 1. Single Earbud Volume: One minor downside is that when using a single earbud, the volume could be a bit louder. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something that could be improved for those who like using just one earbud at times when making phone calls. 2. Case Feels Thin: The case, while sleek, does feel a little thin and plasticky. It’s not the most premium feeling case out there, but on the plus side, it requires less frequent charging compared to other noise-canceling earbud cases. Conclusion: Overall, these Bose Noise Canceling Earbuds are an excellent set, especially for those who value comfort, sound quality, and top-tier noise cancellation. With the ability to wear them all day, whether traveling or working out, and the ease of use, they’ve quickly become my go-to for daily listening. The minor drawbacks like the single earbud volume and the case’s build quality are far outweighed by the pros, making this an outstanding product.

I bought these about 3-4 months ago this year 2024. I am disappointed in the quality. They have begun to intermittently skip while playing music. The right ear bud stopped completely. Today. The left one did not so I do not believe that it is a battery issue. The sound quality holds up to Bose standards. This pair seems defective. I need to have them replaced.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these earbuds. I wear them walking/jogging. They NEVER slip out of the ear! Ever. The sound quality is incredible. They allow you to be aware of your surroundings without sacrificing sound quality.
