Some good, some not so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The good: very lightweight and comfortable, I can wear them longer than any other headphones I have (QCbuds and QC overear included). Sound quality is as you would expect from Bose - great. The bad: I live in NYC and thought these would be great to wear around so I can be aware of surroundings while listening to audio. This works for music, but I can't hear my podcasts clearly enough even with volume turned all the way up. NYC is loud, so this is probably only be a problem in very loud situations, but it was disappointing. Also, I have very sensitive skin and the backs of my ears have gotten irritated where they clip on. A pity bc they really are comfy, so hoping that calms down with time.

Happy Wife!!

My wife has a pair of bose earbuds and works from home. I bought the ultra open earbuds to help her hear the open meetings that she usually attends through conference calls. I asked her to try them out and she was excited about the new design. She gave me the quiet comfort earbuds and now she can enjoy her music and meetings at the same time. Thank you for the new product.

Love them!

Had these for a month and so far so good. I like that they are easy to put on and stay on my ears. The sound is great and being able to hear around me is important when I am walking in my neighborhood park. It’s kind of like having a soundtrack playing in your head. I rarely have to recharge the entire case. The battery lasts a long time. I wish that I could skip or adjust volume like the apple airbuds but these are still a much better fit for me.

Prepare to be embarrassed!

The exceptional clarity of these ear buds will quickly clue you in to every lyrical mistake you've been making. I love singing along with music and these have already helped me! The earbuds are lightweight and comfortable even after hours of wear. It took me several different combinations of ear tips and stability bands to find my fit. Once that was settled I was rewarded with noise cancelling that rivals the noise cancelling headphones. I was surprised to find that function perform so well in earbuds. I work in retail management and am fortunate that my company lets us use ear buds as long as our customer service is on point! I was thankful for the aware setting. I kept them in my ears at work and was still dialed in when employees or customers needed me. I found the controls on the earbuds easy to use and there are even more options while using the app. My only warning? Don't use the noise canceling feature when you need to be aware of your surroundings either for engagement or safety. You will NOT hear what's going on!!! I had zero connectivity issues and am in love with the long battery life. I believe the only downside is they may be a bit too large for some individuals depending on personal preference.

Great buds!

I’ve been using these for two or three months now, while walking in the neighborhood and on trails in the surrounding hills. Sound is excellent, and the open design lets me hear things going on around me. Battery life has been more than adequate. I’m surprised at how secure and yet comfortable these are. I have no worries about losing them, and they are so light and comfortable it is easy to forget I am wearing them. If I could change one thing, I’d make it so that the driver can be set just a little closer to the ear, or be able to modify the sound balance from one side to the other to help offset a mild hearing loss in one ear.

Very pleased with this purchase!

Bought 2 weeks ago. Very happy with this purchase. They fit me perfectly, unfortunately for my husband they do not fit him. They stay in place while exercising. The sound is wonderful. The dark blue color is rich looking. I highly recommend these earbuds.

Comfort and Sound A+ but could use improvements

The top two best features of this product are the sound (amazing and unmatched with the immersive audio) and the comfort of the innovative open ear style. I've been using earbuds for years but have also tried bone-conducting, headset style, over the top of the ear style and regular full noise canceling earmuff styles. Earbuds are the most convenient for me, but they would tire out my ears after even 2 hours. For these open ear Bose buds, there are a few things that could be improved, especially based on the high price of these. 1) Wireless charging (I'd expect wireless charging on the case at this price point) 2) Volume (most of the time I have to be at full volume to hear, especially in a crowded or noisy location) 3) Multi-connectivity (it connects to multiple devices, but not at the same time) 4) No Mute button 5) No Alexa/Siri built in The battery life is terrific. I'll still keep these, because the open ear is so comfortable for many hours (5+) of wear. And they're stylish. For the pricepoint I would look for ALL of the items on my list, especially the wireless charging which is so weird that it isn't included. And why not include a clip or something so i don't constantly misplace the case! The multi point is important to me too when I'm switching back and forth on my computer to phone. In any case, this is my first Bose purchase, 4/5 stars. I'm happy to be a tester for any other future product!

Only one downside

I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The only thing that I DO wish is that you could track them. Admittedly, I am a person who loses a lot of things. It is a little frustrating that there is tracking ability for one type of headphone but not the open ear type. Hoping that Bose makes the move to add these to their "find my" list. Other than that, I am very pleased. Works well, even at the gym!

Needs a little bit more work

I bought these like three weeks ago, but Everything looks great, the size, the weight, but the sound (which is the most important thing) is not good only because they go far away from the inner ear, if I push it a little bit they sound great, but you can’t be pushing it all the time, I'm undecided whether to return them or not?

Light weight, spatial sound really good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the open earbuds about a month ago to replace my AirPods Pro, unfortunately for big guys with big ears this won’t make it specifically while speaking over the phone, they other person will have a hard. Time trying to hear you. Other than that the lightweight allows to use them for very long time and not having many discomfort, also the spatial sound is really good. At the end, if Bose can make a fusion between the open earbuds and quiet comfort, I believe it will make a great hit
