[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A friend recommended these after my AirPods were destroyed in a washing machine accident. I really enjoy them! I have sensitive ears and I feel that the sound quality is perfect for me. You can adjust them on different areas of your ear as well, although I don’t know if that was intended or not. If you listen to music loudly, people around you can hear it, so be aware of that. Additionally, other earbuds tend to hurt my ear or they’re too large to fit comfortably, but since these almost act like a huggie on your ear, that hasn’t been an issue. Overall, they’re nice earbuds and have a pretty decent battery life after a full charge.

I LOVE how they attach to my ear! I have always loved the sound of Bose and we have the noise cancelling regular head phones as well as ear buds but the ear buds tend to make my ears sore after a bit, these do not and they are perfect! They feel very secure and you can make them so you can still hear the world around you. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had these Bose Ultra Open earbuds for almost 2 weeks now and they are great. I work in a very loud warehouse and these headphones cancel out enough that the machines don’t pierce through the music. On top of comfortably and having great sound quality they still allow me to hear my surroundings. Only downside is that sometimes on ear will randomly disconnect and I have to put them both in the case to reconnect the one.

Let me start by saying that the sound is absolutely phenomenal and Bose level considering these are open earbuds, something that I didn’t know was possible. I’m really “really” blown away by the sound quality and almost perplexed as to how Bose has made these open earbuds work. Great great job by Bose! These earbuds doesn’t have noise cancellation feature but has different modes as per need and they work really well. My favorite mode is definitely immersive mode which makes you really hone in and listen to tiniest of sound effects as possible. Also when you move your head from left to right, the sound gets focused on that part of your head where you’re turning. Saying this, you could use these at gym if you wanna be aware of your surroundings and listen to anything but I would not use these for a phone call at a busier place. I mean you can but all the different sounds are gonna infiltrate your ears since there open earbuds. But at the same time, these are absolutely great if you wear them around the house listen to music or watch something whilst wanting to be aware of your surroundings. I have used them in the night so that I can be aware of my dog barking if she has to go out or they could be a great fit if you have kids as well. The only con for me with these earbuds is that I don’t like the feeling of a pinching feeling around my earlobes. I’m a simple man who doesn’t wear earrings and have sensitive earlobes so wearing them for prolonged amount of time can really be too much for me and that is the only reason why I’m giving them a 4/5 stars. These wouldn’t be my first choice to buy or wear for long periods of time unlike other Bose earphones/headphones but I still cherish them cuz they’re a Bose product. Bose is the brand I have trusted for last 20 years of my life and I only buy and will always buy Bose products since I have been fascinated with them since my teen years.

Sick & Tired of ALL These BOSE ULTRA Open Ear ADVERTISEMENTS ALWAYS CLAIMING: "YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU ARE WEARING THEM"!!!! THATS A BLATANT LIE!!!! THEY PINCH AFTER A WHILE, JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHERS DO!!!! AND MORE IMPORTANTLY. "YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU ARE WEARING THEM AT FIRST AND FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THATS WHY I BOUGHT MY 1ST PAIR...BUT THEY NEVER ALSO SAID..."YOU CANT TELL IF THEY FALL FROM YOUR EARS, TOO"!!!! THIS IS NOW MY 2ND PAIR, AFTER ONLY 8 DAYS OF MY 1ST PAIR, ONE FELL, WHEN I WAS ONLY AWAITING A CALL...NOT LISTENING TO MUSIC WHILE ONLY WALKING...YET, *(ONE FELL AND I NEVER FOUND IT, NOR HAVE I ANY WAY TO REPLACE IT, ANYTIME SOON)*!! *(BOSE CONNECT APP SUGGESTED I USE THE BOSE MUSIC APP, When I First Connected to IT - So NO LAST PLACE CONNECTED TRACED NEITHER)*!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ultra Open Earbuds are simply the best earbuds on the market to date. The sound is incredible! Immersive audio nothing can be said except WOW! The fit is perfect for any ears. if you have been thinking of buying a pair, we'll STOP THINKING AND PULL THE TRIGGER! you won't regret it!!!!

I have a teenager, and while this should be self-explanatory, let me explain. She hasn’t taken off her headphones for more than a few minutes in over four years. I was so frustrated at constantly having to text her whenever she was needed, and the in-ear headphones caused a lot of stubborn earwax build-up that we had to deal with. So I got her the Bose Open Ear headphones—and just like before, they haven’t come off. But this time, at least she can hear her surroundings. She’s still able to enjoy her music and podcasts, but now she can respond when someone calls her, hear me without shouting, and even stay aware of what’s happening around her. As a parent, that’s a huge relief. No more isolation, no more ear problems—just a happy teenager who still gets her constant soundtrack, and a parent who doesn’t feel ignored. Because of this, I got a second pair for myself. I had the previous in ear Bose and it never quite fit right. These solve that issue for me and I am overall extremely satisfied.

If you like to listen but want to keep your spatial awareness, these are the earphones to get. They sit comfortably (after a small adjustment period) and if you keep them mid-range in volume, you'll still get a private listening experience with minimal bleed. It's the best for hikes, walks, commutes, work, anything where you want to stay aware.

I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and really like them. I had the older version but lost the right side of the speaker in the 2024 Ride London. This new version stays in your ear, it’s more miniaturized and just as powerful. Love it. Sounds great.

The sound quality is better than I expected for open ear airbuds, it is very comfortable and ergonomic, I use it for meetings all day long and it is very good when cycling because I can listen to my music/podcasts but also pay attention to what is going on nearby.
