I bought these ear buds 3 weeks ago and am absolutely thrilled with them EXCEPT for the lack of battery capacity. I can only get about 4-5 hours of use before they need charging. Doing chores around the house these ear buds are amazing as you can hear your music AND hear conversations or whatever is going on around you. If it weren't for the battery life I would give these buds 5 Stars! They are BOSE quality!

Very comfortable and very unique in the way they fit on the ears. I love Bose Quality and the sound is better than ALL THE REST out there. I have many of Bose products because it is a NO BRAINER and does not require ANY worries about the quality of the perfect sound of all products that you purchase with the name BOSE on it.

Owned for the Summer and love them! Perfect balance of great sound with still being aware of what’s happening around you. Listen to your favorite show, catching all the dialogue and/or music at a HIGH level of quality. At the same time Not bothering your Significant Other. Hold conversations. Walk the dog. All safely since you can hear things coming, etc.

Sound is so much better than expected. Sometimes I lose connection when walking. I’d love it if they worked seamlessly with the iOS universe but it’s not a deal breaker. The Spatial Audio sounds strange. I use the regular setting because going back to adjust in the app is annoying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The earbuds feel comfortable and still cannot explain the sound quality you get with the open ear design. I have a different brand of open earbuds and the Bose by far are superior. I highly recommend these Earbuds.

From the moment I opened these earbuds up I was completely impressed. The fit, finish and feel of these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are just as wonderful as any other Bose product. The sound quality blew me away. Initially, I wasn't sure what to expect with this open ear design but I think Bose got it right. Pairing these to my iPhone was super simple and in no time, I was listening to music after unboxing them. I have Bose speakers that I use for listening to music and podcasts while at home and work but the Ultra Open Earbuds are my first Bose headphones or earbuds. I was immediately impressed by the full bodied and robust sound. The Ultra Opens are controlled and updated through the Bose Music which I found to be intuitive and a nice way to control the features. I typically only use earbuds while doing outside work such as cutting grass or splitting wood but I found myself using these more than I have other earbuds. I literally just put them on and lived my life. I recommend these to anyone that has fit issues with other typical in ear earbuds. After the first 20 minutes of using the Ultra Opens I forgot I was wearing them. They're very lightweight and comfortable and I didn't experience any fatigue or discomfort after wearing them for nearly three straight hours. Also, they have some moisture resistance but DO NOT submerge them. The Immersion Mode is a wonderful feature to have at this premium price point. It made me feel like I was at a live performance. I assume due to the open ear design, noise cancelling isn't a feature of these earbuds but honestly I don't care. The sound quality is that phenominal and it allows you to still be aware of your surroundings. For that reason, I recommend these to parents and caretakers that need to be able to hear outside of your own little sound cocoon. I can also see the benefits these would have for city dwellers or anyone that walks or exercises near traffic or crowded places. You can still be aware of what's going on around you without sacrificing great sound. I probably won't use these to cut grass or work around any loud machinery, but I don't see any other situation where these won't be my go to earbud. I just love that I can put them in and forget them. They have increased my use of earbuds. The only "cons" for me aren't even real dealbreakers. They don't have any sort of tracking feature in case of loss or theft. I have a pretty good history of not losing expensive items (fingers crossed while I knock on wood). Also, the case doesn't have wireless charging. In my experience, that is okay because the battery life has been phenomenal in the case and the individual earbuds. Wireless case charging and tracking would be wonderful convenience features to have but the sound quality, ease of use and comfort of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds make up for those omissions.

Why would you make it impossible to find the serial number so one could get help to make this thing work in a simple way. Like turn on and not keep telling me how much battery life is left and not run till it runs out of charge. Features like quite are great but finding a simple way to play brown sounds to sleep with out all the stop and go and battery life interruptions and not able to get help unless some how finding the hidden serial numbers a want to return the product

As a daily user of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, I've been thoroughly impressed by their performance and functionality. One standout feature that immediately caught my attention is the exceptional battery life. With extended usage throughout the day, I've found that the battery consistently lasts, providing uninterrupted enjoyment of music and ambient sound awareness. Initially I was concerned about the fit of these earbuds. The way that they hold on your ears is innovative, and it's extremely comfortable. I have found that even while moving around the house they have stayed in place. My wife commented that they make me look like I'm on a futuristic slSci Fi show, but I love them. One of the most remarkable aspects of these earbuds is their ability to deliver high-quality audio while allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings. This feature has been invaluable, particularly in environments where situational awareness is crucial, such as with a newborn in the house. Whether it's listening to soothing melodies while attending to household chores or keeping an ear out for the baby's needs, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds strike the perfect balance between immersive sound and environmental awareness. The design of the earbuds is sleek and comfortable, ensuring a secure fit even during extended wear. The open-ear design not only enhances comfort but also minimizes discomfort associated with traditional in-ear headphones, making them ideal for long listening sessions. In terms of sound quality, Bose continues to excel, delivering rich, clear audio across various genres of music. The soundstage is expansive, allowing for an immersive listening experience without sacrificing awareness of external sounds. Whether I'm enjoying classical melodies or upbeat tracks, the audio performance of the Ultra Open Earbuds never disappoints. Overall, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds redefine the concept of true wireless earbuds by seamlessly integrating advanced audio technology with environmental awareness. With exceptional battery life, superior sound quality, and a comfortable design, they are the perfect companion for those seeking to stay connected to both their music and their surroundings.

I love these earbuds. They basically sound like much larger headphones vs something like Airpods, etc. These are basically perfect. The fit is comfortable and they don't fall out when running. The best part is the audio is not "fatiguing" if that makes sense. It's like sitting in a living room with speakers in front of you. I really enjoy listening without the discomfort of having things in your ear canals. Only thing I want is even more colors / design options. Even Coloware isn't that great. The newer blue is a start but there could be much snazzier options. I would buy a second set for sure. I immediately gave my Airpod Pros away.

The sound quality is average and not very loud when using in slightly noisy environments. I often struggle to hear voice on the other end if there is any noise around me. Its nots terrible, just not worth the price. The microphone is absolutely trash.
