Great product

Bought these on sale, I was a bit skeptical at first since they are open ear buds and these will be my first time owning a pair. I was not disappointed at all. Love the fact that I'm able to enjoy these earbuds at work. I do work in an environment where I have to constantly keep checking on my radio for any call outs. I'm able to enjoy my music while being able to hear around my environment. Only issue is the longevity of the ear buds themselves they last about 6 hrs. I do work 12hr shifts. Overall I do recommend these earbuds if you want to enjoy your music while being aware of your surroundings

Great sound, concerns about replacement parts.

I never would have spent this much on earbuds, but the sale price and the open style was something I was looking for. The sound quality is excellent, and they are very comfortable. My main concern is that the silicone piece, that wraps around your ear, is going to break after repetitive use. If this was to happen, and I have seen it happen before on other products of the same material, how do you replace it? My husband has the full headphones, and he has had to replace the earpieces twice due to the material cracking and disintegrating. I'm not even sure if you could purchase a replacement piece and for the cost of this, I in no way consider them disposable. They also seem to disconnect from my phone, and I keep having to delete them and then pair them again. I have rebooted by phone. Also, when I use them and then use them again later, all the settings have returned to the original factory settings. This is not after pairing them again. I like them very much, I just don't want to buy another pair a year or two down the road.

So comfortable and great sound

This is my second pair. I bought them so I can leave my white ones at work. I've been using them for almost 2 years and I have no regrets. They are so comfortable that I forget that I have them on. The sound is so full that in the right room, it sounds like there is a great speaker playing for endow to hear. The battery life is very good too.

Best Earbuds Ever

These earbuds sound great. I have two pair of the older Quiet Comfort II earbuds and they sound great too. No others come close. And a big thank you for redesigning the case. The older case was so clumsy and I would always drop one or both of the earbuds trying to retrieve them from the case. New case is absolutely fantastic. The people behind the redesign should get a huge pay raise. Thanks for a great product.

amazing music quality but horrible for phone calls

This is the first open ear buds I’ve had and so far, I’m pretty impressed! there’s something about noise cancelling headphones that I don’t love and these open earbuds work better for my lifestyle (WFH 3 days/week). The music quality is incredible and works really well during my strength training sessions (no falling out of my ear). The only con I have for these is the phone quality is atrocious. it’s so bad that my husband had to return his pair since he needs dependable headphones for his job (he was so bummed because he loved everything else!) The sound quality of the phone call if you are using these is honestly just so bad. My main use for these are not for making phone calls but if that’s what you’re buying these for, I would not recommend. Bose, please work on your phone call quality! your headphones would have no competition if you just fixed that :)

My favorite

These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are by far my favorite earbuds! I love how they feel like I don’t have earbuds in. If I’m wearing them and nothing is playing I almost forget that I even have them on. I love how while wearing them I can still hear everything around me. I know other earbuds have transparency mode, but I personally like to keep my ear canal from being obstructed. I also love how when these are attached they stay attached and I don’t have to keep checking if they are going to pop out like I do with my AirPod pros. My biggest concern is I use them so much I just hope the connection points to charge them don’t wear out or break. From the last year I’ve owned these I can tell the right side has fatigued more than the left because 70% of the time I use just the right side. I did end up buying a second pair because they released the black and gold ones and I found a good sale for them. I also preferred having a work pair and an at home pair. However it would be nice if Bose made interchangeable buttons and side caps for a little customization because most people won’t buy 2 pairs just to have different colors.

Love all the color options as well. Bose had a nic

I bought these for myself, my daughter and granddaughter for Christmas. I gave them early to use in our vacation over the holidays. We all love them! Comfy with good sound quality. I always had trouble keeping the AirPods in my ears, These are so easy to use.

CARBON BLUE FTW

This is my fourth purchase of the Bose Carbon Blue because I don’t ever want to be without them. Probably my 12th purchase overall of the Utras. They are the perfect combination of sound, awareness, comfort and COLOR. I have been diligently looking for a worthy replacement to my Backbeats from Plantronics as I have exclusively been a fan of open ear devices for workouts and while I’m out and about. Although not good for airplanes, I will, once again, make my pitch that Bose make the QC ULTRA Gen 2’s in CARBON BLUE! Please, ya gotta do it.

so happy to have discovered these!

I love these so much. I can wear them for hours without ear fatigue. they sound amazing, but I can still hear my surroundings as needed. just love the color! the battery lasts a long time and the charging case makes it last longer. the only thing that confuses me is why the charging case isn't also wireless....

Very good but…

I bought these very expensive earphones and because of the shape and size of my ears, they do not get the sound into my ear canal well no matter how much I fiddle with them. What I end up hearing is mids to highs and just a little bass. If I manually turn my ears inward the bass becomes rich and beautiful. They are a great idea but not for everyone. They are very nice but now I’m stuck with earphones that I won’t use much if at all…and I really couldn’t afford them in the first place, so I’m pretty bummed.
