Everything is great for these earbuds, i love the style and comfort. The battery life is more then enough for me and I listen to podcasts atleast a couple hours everyday. The only problem is the connection. Almost everyday, multiple times it gives me some problem with the connection. I wish bose can fix it in anybof the upcoming software updates.

I purchased these ear buds a month ago and I am very happy with how they fit on my ears. I cannot wear over the ear or inner ear buds as they cause me headaches. The sound quality could be a little better. You have to have them in specific spots to get great sound. Bose states the batteries last 7 hours, I am barely getting 5 hours before I hit the 10 percent warning. Are they worth the $299.99 price? No, but I was able to get them at a reduced rate and a military discount also so what I paid was a fair price for Bose quality.

First off, earbuds are a must have for me. I use them daily to take calls, listen to music and watch videos. I don’t like to have a phone held to my head or to be attached by a headphone wire. With that being said they have to sound good, have reliable connectivity, and be comfortable. The design of the Bose earbuds is incredible. They are the most comfortable headsets I have ever worn. They lay gently on your ear and are secured to your ear by wrapping around the edge of your ear. In the past, I have always been afraid to wear my expensive headphones in certain places for fear that one would fall and I would not be able to get it back. With the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, I can jump, run, and move my head all around without them budging. The carry case is also very nice. It has a magnetic connection to the earbuds so you know they are attached and charging properly. Also, just like you would expect from any Bose product, the sound is clear, crisp, and customizable. The mobile application allows you to customize the sound settings using an equalizer. There you can intensify or reduce the Bass and Treble. Calls are sharp as well. I can hear the caller clearly and the caller has no issues hearing me. The only thing I think would improve the product is the pass-off between device to device. To move from device to device, I have to disconnect the earbuds under the settings on one device to connect them to the other. It seems to recognize it is connected to another device and won’t connect to a new one until it is released from the other. Other devices I’ve used automatically connect once the Bluetooth connection has been activated. Other than that, these earbuds have stayed true to the Bose brand of excellent quality and I love having them.

This is a very comfortable open earbud where you will forget it's on your ear it is so comfortable. The sound quality is very respectable for an open ear bud. There's an EQ in the app to adjust to your comfort. This woukd be a 5 star we're it not for the call quality. Anytime someone would call, I would he able to hear them just fine, but they would not be able to hear me clearly. They said I cut in and out. That I would sound choppy. I would have to disconnect from the Bluetooth and use my phone instead. Asides from that, this ear bud is great for runs compared to full headphones since it will not get hot on your ear. 9/10 I would recommend this to others asides from the call quality.

Received the quietcomfort earbuds 2 weeks ago. These have been the best earbuds that I have ever owned. I used to use Apple AirPods which these don’t even compare. Comfort is a lot better and doesn’t hurt my ears after a hour of use. Noise cancellation is good with quality and providing a HD experience. However, I still can hear my surroundings slightly for safety which is something I value. At first, the earbuds took sometime to figure out to pause when I took off the earbuds but that improved after a couple uses. I wish that it was easier to take the earbuds off and play something on my phone speaker without needing to place the earbuds in the case to disconnect the Bluetooth temporarily. For example: if I want to play a short video to a friend, I wish I could just take off the earbuds and place in my hand temporarily versus needing to place them in the case to disconnect. If I don’t place in the case, it will still play through the earbuds. I also cannot believe the battery life. After 2 weeks, I am still at 100% and I use it on and off throughout the day. Very impressive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] pros: very comfortable, easy to manipulate, great sounds quality, low leakage, easy to control cons: weird Bluetooth hiccup, sometimes don't sync to each other, no loop on case overall, I love the Bose sound quality and find these superior to earplug style earbuds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd been wanting the Ultra Open Earbuds for a while. I wanted them for running outside. I was hopeful that I would keep my situational awareness with these in. I want to be able to hear runners or cyclists behind me or a car coming, etc. With standard in-ear buds I end up running with only one in so I can use the other ear to listing to the environment. The problem was that I'm a bit of an audiophile so having only one earbud in was annoying. I have to report that these open earbuds sound amazing and I'm able to keep up with my ambient surroundings. They are less good at a gym that is playing music inside because you end up hearing both. Podcasts are great though, you can hear the gyms music, the podcast, and the dude ripping reps on the bench.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought mine when they first came out. The previous attempt just didn’t work. They sounded great but the fit was horrible. Bose went back and fixed it completely. Now they sound great and they are super comfortable. The only thing is sometimes it seems like they fade out a bit while in use. Not music but typing and my microphone. So room for improvement but overall a spectacular price of gear. This recent pair was bought for my son so that he could listen to music and still hear me in the house, and at wrestling tournaments.

Good buy. Sound Quality: 4/5: Very good sound quality for consumer-grade earbuds. Deep bass and clear highs. They are not professional grade, but still sound very good and should do the trick for all casual listening. Battery Life: 5/5. I've had them for a couple weeks and used them a bunch and still have not had to charge the case. Fit/Comfort: 3/5: Not the worst ear comfort, but after a long period of listening you'll definitely notice them.
