[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never been able to wear earbuds of any kind until these. I had tried two other ear cuff like earbuds and they were not comfortable One was too big and of course one was to small. these are perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these 2mos ago. Very comfortable, to the point that I forgot they were even on. Did not notice until I went to touch my earlobe. They work great and very clear sound both listening and for phone calls.

I really prefer in-earbuds to headphones, but even after I got some foam tips for better comfort - my ears still get "swamp ear" and get irritated after long use. I finally decided to see if there was a better solution and stumbled upon these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which seemed like they could be the answer. After about a week or so of using them, I have been pleasantly surprised at how well they perform. They are by far the weirdest pair of earbuds I have ever owned, and I was considering buying the Sony LinkBuds but I was really hoping for something different like bone conduction rather than in the ear (which seem to be my main problem). I also was hoping that I'd be able to wear them for longer than my in-ear pair, which definitely is the case. Comparatively I'd have to take my in-ears out every so often to clean my ears as with these the only issue is my ear tends to get a tad irritated after long-use but it also could just be my ears getting used to something being there, hard to say right now until I've had them for longer but I just adjust them slightly up or down when I feel discomfort. I actually got these as my "gaming" earbuds, which after turning off "Immersion Mode" and using "Stereo Mode" I feel it's best unless you're listening to music it's just too bassy for regular stuff in my humble opinion (still sounds great, YMMV). Battery life has been a lot better than my other pair of earbuds which would die after ~4-6 hours, so far the lowest I've gotten these have been around 40%. I'm also not too sure how fast they charge, since they live on my desk and I charge them overnight but when I first charged them it took about half hour to fully charge from ~60%. It's a bit difficult to figure out what the optimal spot is for these earbuds to perform their best, I believe for me at least when they're at their lowest on/in your ear it seems to be the best. I'll randomly check that they're evenly pushed into my ears and not falling out from time to time, but generally they're pretty snug fit that don't move much once on. As far as "noise cancellation" or "passive hearing" goes, they do a pretty good job at blocking out sound when turned up I generally have mine around 60% at that's loud enough for me - I can still hear around me, if need be which I like not having to take off my earbuds in between sessions to multitask. There was a recent firmware update that adds auto-volume, which increases the volume in louder environments which is kind of "noise cancellation" in its simplest form. You're also able to control the earbuds pretty well with just the button on either earbud, play, pause, skip track, reverse track, toggle immersive mode or you can customize the shortcut which is nice. I have left as cycle thru still/motion/off immersion, and right as toggle immersion but there's also "switch devices" and "access your voice assistant" as options. I look forward to future updates and possibly v2 of this product if it performs well, a great niche product for an oversaturated market. I would recommend trying these out if you're at all interested, the price is a bit hard to swallow but they may become your favorite pair of earbuds 🫠

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only regret is I didn’t buy them sooner. I have been an iPhone user for some time and have pretty much sworn by their products but after having these, I will never go astray from Bose. Incredible quality and more than fairly priced for what you get.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these as a gift and was so impressed, I bought my husband a pair. We love the fit and the sound quality. The app is super easy to use and the open ear works well as we can hear what we are playing yet still be aware of what is going on around us.

I've had my Bose Ultra Open Earbuds for two weeks. These are the most comfortable earbuds I've owned; I forget I'm wearing them! They're perfect for the gym!! I really love the sound quality when listening to music, so immersive and beautiful! However, people have told me they cannot hear me well when we are talking on the phone. For me, it's really about the comfort and especially the music!!!

Really nice earbuds to listen to music but horrible when you are on the phone. The other party on the phone can hardly hear you talk. For the money I expected more. If they get the mic fixed they would be perfect. Do not buy if you are expecting to take phone calls.

I bought these two weeks ago – they work pretty good so far and the sound quality is really nice. They stay in while I'm lifting at the gym which was very important to me. The noise cancelling works well. However, I find the automated voice annoyingly loud. The other day I also started having small connection interruptions. If that persists, I'll update this review, but right now, I'm hoping it was a one day thing.

I finally broke down and put these on a payment plan. They are great for sitting at a desk in an office and listening to music However they suck at phone calls. No one can here me and they say I go in and out and this is whether I'm sitting in a quiet room or driving home with the windows closed. No one can hear me. Somehow the right ear gets uncomfortable. The left is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Bose to see how it would work out side the ear canal. Was very impressed, so much so I got a pair for my son and Daughter. We are all very active in running and cycling so we need to be aware of traffic and such. Best investment ever we all love them. And they work very well with our IPhones.
