[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these earbuds 2 months ago I use them for running, the gym, and studying and they’re great! I love how great they sound and being able to be aware of my surrounding. They’re also extremely comfortable and forget that they’re there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An absolute fan of the design! Compared to most earbuds I've used it's nice to actually be able to be attentive to the environment around me even when I have both earbuds in. My only complaint really would be the fact I prefer if this had a touch sensor like the quietcomfort buds, but given how intricate these are, I can see why they utilize a button.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I thought I would hate them as I’m usually a noise cancelling kind of gal, but for work I needed something I could be aware of surroundings. I love them! They are great for my audio books while I’m doing rounds. And awesome for jogs outside! Sound quality is amazing as I had tried a different brand and the sound quality was horrible on the odd brand. My Bose set honestly is great, I’ll still wear my Boise canceling when I need to block it all out.

I’ve been wearing these nearly every day for two weeks and absolutely love these. I work in an office and listen to music to help me focus, but typically my ears start to hurt while wearing earbuds/headphones after three hours. With these, I can wear them 3+ hours without ear pain because it does not feel like I’m wearing earbuds! The sound is amazing too, and especially as I work in an office, listening to music with aware mode on means I don’t have to pause my music when someone needs to talk to me. The only con is the case charging; it charges the earbuds every time you put them back in the case. So, I need to charge the case itself every other day due to the frequent time I put the earbuds back in the case for meetings. BUT the case charges quick, so it’s not a huge inconvenience.

Love love love! The sound is perfect. I never would have believed the sound could be this awesome without having them stuck in my ear. I have small ears and could NEVER keep earbuds in, even the quiet comfort II’s would fall out if I was active (they were the best before these. There is ONLY one imperfection. They will randomly crackle and seem to cut out. If I pause what I’m listening to and hit play again they pick up. The don’t always cut out when they crackle, and the crackle is random and VERY infrequent, think listening 8 hours (at work) and crackle/pop (softly) 4-5 times for a second or two. Even with that, these are HANDS-DOWN the best earbuds around. *I never leave reviews*

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The last time earbuds were comfortable for me was legit wired fruit company’s before they removed the headphone jack. I also have issues with feeling overwhelmed/overstimulated when it comes to noise cancelling earbuds, something about the feedback or frequency really made using earbuds unbearable, and over the ear headphones left me feeling too disconnected from real time. I also walk around my city a lot and hate the feeling of my earbuds slowly sliding out. These earbuds have great quality sound, you barely feel them, and they don’t impede on your ability to hear outside noise! I can have a full conversation with someone and still enjoy my music, walk and hear if i’m honked at, grocery shop and communicate with clerks. They’re perfect, also completely resolve my sensory needs/issues by allowing me to interact with multiple forms of media at once without feeling like i’m cutting myself off to focus on one or the other. I can play a video game on my tv screen but also listen to my music/podcasts without feeling like i have everything turned up to max volume. No icky feeling of a sweaty earbud with constant readjustment! anyone who can’t stand the “noise cancellation” feed or feeling of other earbuds/headphones NEEDS these. it’s a dream for us multitaskers, and i am genuinely so happy to have found a product that solves all my sensory music lover dreams. I walk around in my own movie soundtrack.

[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!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These actually sound great and am pretty happy. Sometimes it's hard to position the earbuds in the right spot but it may just be the general shape of my ears. Once they are on they are comfortable for extended periods of time.

Bose really knows how to do audio and ear comfort. I absolutely love these earbuds. I'm a longtime user of the Quiet Comfort headphones, but these are so much easier to travel with - and I travel a fair amount and overpack. Space is always appreciated. But the sound quality is way superior to Apple iPods. The noise cancellation prevents me from getting a headache on the plane with the loud engines. I can also use the earbuds to talk on the phone when I'm on the road or elsewhere, and people can hear me better than they could with my iPods. The 'egg' that holds the earbuds just makes me smile. It fits nicely in your hand and easily slips into a pocket or purse pouch. The earbuds charge quickly. My only suggestion: I wish the egg had a little space somewhere to store the small charging cable. Those things are always easy to misplace. But that's not a deal breaker for the quality of this product. No regrets. Bose delivers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about a month ago and so far I love it. The only minus is that it has a hard time reconnecting to a device when you have it paired to more than two. Other than that it is so far great, my ears don't hurt from wearing it for many hours and I am able to hear conversations without having to take the earbuds off.
