[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are actually the third set of earbuds I've owned. I am so happy with them. The sound is amazing and I'm aware of what's going on around me while listening with them. When I'm doing things, like mowing the lawn, I don't have to worry about them falling out, which was the biggest issue I had with others. I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love these things!

I bought these for my wife for Xmas and she absolutely loves them. She raves about the comfort, fit, and the variable noise cancellation. This last feature is particularly important for her walks when she needs to change the level of outside noise since the routes go from quiet streets to busy roads and intersections.

I always hated earbuds because they hurt my ears and was happy to see this product. Of course, the sound quality is excellent as you expect from any Bose product. Bonus: I read that it can be used with other Bose Smartspeakers. Planning to use it with my Soundbar to watch TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting these since they came out and I am so glad I got them. I love how they fit and the sound. I especially like the security of being able to listen to audio without anyone being able to see that, and to be fully aware of my surroundings. They also fit my ears better so I don’t feel like they are going to pop out at any time.

The fit is complicated. I like that they don't go into my ear. That causes earache for me, and cause wax buildup in my canal. However, I put the volume all the way up to be able to hear them. People next to me can hear noise from what I am listening 🎧 to. The sound is decent, none the less. Would be wonderful if they had that part that goes into your lobe area, without the plug that goes into your ear. So that it lines up more consistently with your ear canal.

From a value perspective, these buds are great. The ANC is the number one reason I got them, and while they're not QC Ultra great, it's close enough that it blocks out what I need blocked out. The next great thing about them is the battery. I can indeed get 8+ hours of quiet listening in ANC mode. Most impressive. I don't think any product in this form factor has this level of endurance. The listening experience is a distant third, and it's good enough. I listen mostly to podcasts and soft music, and these buds deliver. The bad news, and it's a big one for me because this is a primary use case for me. I'd been using QC30s for many years because they're comfortable in bed and last over 10 hours with ANC on. I was hoping these buds would replace the QC30s. They can, but they have a serious flaw: these buds turn off when you're idle for about 15 minutes. I take a nap and go to sleep on buds due to being in a noisy environment. Even if I'm connected to my device and listening to music, they will just cut out and turn off after 15 minutes. This is such a deal breaker. I know it can be easily fixed because the notification message that disables this auto-off function is baked into the software, but is somehow unavailable in the lackluster app that comes with the buds. Very disappointing. I'm hoping Bose fixes this issue soon, because these would indeed be 5-star buds without this issue. If napping or sleeping with these buds is not your use case, these buds will not disappoint. If you do need buds for napping or sleeping, avoid these until Bose fixes it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never been so excited about earbuds. I truly cannot be happier with my purchase, they are so lightweight and comfortable you completely forget you have them “on” your ears. The sound clarity and quality is the best I have ever experienced. My battery life has exceeded all my expectations and has lasted 3days without plugging them in to charge! Did I mention how adorable they are? Super cute and way more functional than any other brand this far! Thank you Bose for thinking outside of the box!

Very unique design & nice build quality. Good sound (for not being inside your ears). They do stay on if you are actively working or exercising. Decent battery life too! Although my ears do work for these, sometimes I need to adjust them due to the amount and shape of my skin on the edges of my ears, so I do experience some discomfort after a few hours if I don't take a break. Overall, I love these anyway! Nice job, Bose!

I bought these a couple months ago. They fit great and do not hurt my ears at all, which is fantastic. They also stay in your ears, even during exercise. The sound is great. I gave 3 stars because they have connectivity issues where only one will connect and I’ll have to forget the device to connect both. Also, having a phone conversation on them is near impossible because people can not hear you. For the price I was hoping they’d be much better in those departments. But for music and music only, they’re great.

I had bought this earlier this month and I’m happy with the intended use. What could have been better is that the charging case could have a charge indicator through the app so I know if I need to charge it or not. Also another feature this could have used is when you lose a earbud. You can hit a find button. This set replaced my Samsung Galaxy Buds and they had all those convenient features. I’m just shocked that Bose didn’t have that.
