Embarking on my journey with the Bose Ultra open earbuds has been nothing short of delightful. As a resident of NYC, these earbuds have seamlessly integrated into my lifestyle, becoming an indispensable companion during my travels across the city. Their open design not only keeps me aware of my surroundings but also ensures a level of comfort that traditional earbuds simply cannot match. Whether navigating the streets with walking directions or simply immersing myself in city life, these earbuds are my go-to choice. While they may lack noise cancellation, they excel in providing a heightened sense of situational awareness, making them perfect for my daily commutes. As someone with multiple ear piercings, I initially had concerns about the fit, but to my delight, they proved to be both secure and comfortable. I would advise others with similar concerns to ensure compatibility with their piercings for optimal comfort. Moreover, the battery life has exceeded my expectations, offering prolonged usage without frequent recharges. In essence, the Bose Ultra open earbuds have not only met but surpassed my expectations, enhancing my auditory experience while seamlessly complementing my urban lifestyle.

Had it for several months. Good sound, not much bass. I got open style so I wouldn't have hearing loss in my old age. They are comfortable and do not fall off when I'm working out or running. I'm able to ride a bike or run and still be able to hear outside noise. You will not be able to listen to music if there is a lot of ambient noise such as an airplane or at the gym if there's very loud music already playing overhead. I am not sure if mine is a dud but I have not been able to do any phone calls with the device. I can hear them but People on the other line cannot hear me when I'm on a zoom call or phone call. Hopefully version 2 is better

For years I only used apple products for headphones until I purchased the Bose ultra open earbuds. I really like the fit and sound on them but the only thing I really do not like is it has no type of tracking feature. If misplaced they might be lost for ever because it doesn’t have a find my earbuds feature. Maybe other products you carry have the feature but it is unfortunate these do not.

I bought these a couple of weeks ago and they are a game changer for me! This is the first pair of ear buds that are truly comfortable & that I truly feel safe using while walking my dogs. I am a small lady and "one size fits all" of anything most often doesn't work for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these earbuds to mitigate the allergic reactions I experienced when using ultra earbuds or other models. Additionally, I sought to address the common problem of earbuds dislodging during use. These earbuds are particularly effective for physical activities such as exercise and running. I have not encountered any issues with them falling out, and they allow for ambient awareness while jogging. Their lightweight design often makes me forget that I am wearing them. However, I have concerns regarding the case. While its compact size is advantageous, the lid exhibits some fragility. When placed in my pocket alongside other items, the lid tends to become somewhat contoured due to pressure from surrounding objects. Furthermore, the case utilizes a hinged design rather than a magnetic closure for security. Notably, the case lacks wireless charging capability. Although Bose provides an option to purchase an alternative case that supports wireless charging, I question why this feature was not made standard from the outset. The issues with the case are the primary reason I rate this product 4 out of 5 stars; otherwise, the earbuds perform excellently..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these 1 month ago and I’m on my 2nd set. The first set started having intermittent crackling and static noise. I brought them back to place of purchase and exchanged them for another pair. Well….these are doing the same thing. I like them for the fact that they have awesome sound and the openness of it, however I’m very dissatisfied with the static noise.

The sound is really great, but I am disappointed in their ability to stay in my ears. I knew with the Bose name that the sound would be great. I got them based on how they were supposed to stay in one's ears well. I even had a young person help me! If I put the part that is supposed to be on the outside of the ears on the outside, it seems like the speaker part for the inside does not go where it's supposed to. It seems like the on/off button is the part that goes in/near the ear, not the sound end.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones have surpassed my expectations by a good amount. While I was deciding if I wanted to give them a try I believed some of the reviewers who said that other open ear headphones were close to these. They are very wrong! These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have the sound quality of audiophile headphones. The way that the sound quality puts you in a bubble of detailed sound is unreal when you realize that you can hear birds chirping while you listen to your favorite jazz artists playing in that environment that you are hearing around you. The sound is crisp and clear. They are not V shaped, warm, or Harmon. They are just right! The sound is as good as the QC Ultras, Denon Perl Pro, Technic AZ80s or the AirPod Pro 2s and these are OPEN headphones!!! It makes no sense, but I am very glad that I gave them a try. Since my Bose sunglasses let me down when they stopped working a few years ago I stopped buying Bose. These have won me back to Bose. I will be much more open to Bose in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds are the way to go! Allowing you to be mindful of what's going on around you and not dealing with the unit directly into your ear, these earbuds are the best. Probably the best thing is that these earbuds STAY ON. No matter what activity you are doing, they do not fall off. I workout Crossfit style and they don't fall off.

I’ve owned many different earbuds over the years. The convenience was such a huge asset.I’ve tried all the major brands over time. Staying in your ears was another thing altogether and being comfortable was not great on any of them over long periods. Every pair always caused me significant discomfort and pressure on my ear drums. So I gave up and went with headphones. This Bose product changed that. The open air removed the ear drum pressure. The design stays on. The most impressive thing with them is the sound quality. Outstanding sound quality. Wear them for significant time periods especially when I don’t want the inconvenience of full headphones. Highly recommend.
