These earbuds solve all the problems I have with all other headphones types, which has been revolutionary for me. But the lack of certain features for the price is very disappointing. To elaborate: I have extremely narrow ear canals and in-ear style earbuds just don't fit, period. Even with the smallest tips, I experience a lot of discomfort and cannot wear them long. Over-ear headphones are better, but impractical for most activities. I've tried bone conduction, but they really only work while I'm exercising, as I find the buzzing against my temples bothersome if I'm on a quiet room. I like being able to hear the world around me, so noise cancelling is not a feature I care about. I tried some other types of open ear headphones, like the new shokz, but the over the ear style hurt after a while. To be clear, I own or have tried: air pods pro, pixel buds pro, shokz openrun bone conduction, Shokz openfit air, Bose QC35, and Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones. These Bose Open Earbuds are perfect! Super comfortable, great sound, they keep my ear canals open and dry, and I can happily wear them for several hours at work. The fact that they look more like jewelry than an electronic device is a definite bonus. If someone comes up to me I just pause the music and talk with them. They never even notice I am wearing earbuds. It makes me feel more approachable. But here is the downside, and why I dropped a star: they are buggy. They constantly disappear from the Bose headphones app on my phone (even while still playing music). I never know how much battery is in the case- the app doesn't tell you (my pixel buds and apple airpods both tell you the case battery life). The case doesn't charge wirelessly. For the extremely high price, I expected more. They would have lost a second star, but the recent update did allow for connecting to two devices at once, so that saved them. Here's hoping Bose continues to release updates that improves connectivity, and allows us to see how much battery is left in the case.

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!

I was blessed by these headphones due to a return for bose Tenor glasses. They have been exceptional , albeit, competition breaches have allowed criminals to block access to me using my excellent earbuds. Please help me shut down the individuals using illegal competition practices and keeping me from enjoying my blessing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I have to start by saying I own Bose Speakers and have always enjoyed their sound. So, buying any product from Bose, I know its going to be top quality. I was skeptical about these open earbuds because I dont like the music their are playing at the gym and I thought their music would interfere with my Bose open earbuds. Much to my surprise, I only heard the music I was playing and they sounded excellent. I enjoy my Bose earbuds and I recommend them to music affectionados.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best earbuds I have ever owned. Easy to use and never fall off. I always have issues with in ear earbuds. These allow me to do anything I want and also hear anything important outside whatever is playing on my Ultra Earbuds. The sound is spectacular.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and solid battery life for earbuds. I have not had them run out on me but usually only listen for a few hours at a time. Good sound but you can still hear around you well so great for the gym or at the office.

This is the earbud for me! So comfortable and stays in place. Not the loudest earbud on the market, but has terrific sound quality. If you want hearing loss this might not work for you. But if you’re tired of wet itchy ears and pain from pressure on your cartilage then this is a great investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought the Bose ultra earbuds. I am somewhat happy with them, but I cannot wear loop earrings because they get connected to the back of the earbud. It has Magnetic dots on the back off the earbuds. But they are very light weight and I hardly don’t even feel them on my ear, which is a good thing does not make my ear hurt Like the Apple Earbuds. I Run and walk and dance around and they stay put. The sound is Magnificent in my ear.

The most comfortable with great sound. I just got these about a week ago. The only thing I’ve noticed is my particular right earpiece doesn’t hold a charge as long and doesn’t seem to have the same volume level as the left, but I haven’t tried the calibration yet.

I really wanted these. I should have looked into them a little more, but I'm not totally disappointed.. They are great for comfort. Forget they are there sometimes. Almost walked into shower with them on. They aren't bangers tho... they are too quiet and take a lot of maneuvering to even get close to the volume I would like. For the cost, they should have some kind of improvement on this.
