I bought this product two weeks ago, although I love the concept of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds i'm not a fan of the sound quality. It's doesn't prevent background noise as I expected and it's difficult to hear the other party on calls. Ultimately, I wouldn't recommend these if your primary use will be headphones for calls or just listening to music. However, Bose does have other options that would probably suffice your needs better.

I bought these for Black Friday and after a few months, I’m pretty disappointed in them. I was very excited for these as I had been wanting a pair for a while and have been a Bose fan for years. Unfortunately, these have fallen short for me. While they have good sound, they are not noise canceling. Bose claims these are noise canceling, they are not. I can hear so much through these in their “quiet” mode that I have to constantly check to see if they are actually in quiet mode. This was a feature that was very important to me. I’ve worn them to university, on airplanes, in public places and the only times I don’t hear these sounds are when the music is too loud for my ears. I wear them when I walk to university and wind gets in (maybe I’m wearing the wrong earpiece size, but they seem to fit well otherwise). Also, sometimes they just randomly cut out for a second or two, even if my phone is in my pocket. They do have great range on the Bluetooth, though. Personally, I find that when I first put them in, the voice that tells me the battery percentage is way too loud. Speaking of the battery percentage, they’ve only ever told me that they’re at 100%. This makes me wonder if I might’ve received a defective pair, I wear them most days or everyday and I don’t charge them often. They’ve died on me twice after telling me that the battery is 100%, I guess I’ll never know my battery percentage. Also, I wish that the lowest volume was one notch lower, that would be insanely helpful for studying. The earbuds have a nice fit once you get used to the way they work, but they have a little silicone piece around the part that goes into the ear which is a little looser than I’d like. I take my earbuds out of my ears a lot when I’m on campus; to order coffee, talk to people, etc, but the silicone parts want to slip off all the time. One of them actually did the other day and now that one earbud doesn’t stay in my ear. They look nice and feel nice and stay in the ear if all the parts are there, but at the end of the day, I wish I had gone with a different company. I bought these to replace a pair of seven-year-old Sony wireless (not true wireless) earbuds and I honestly miss the Sony ones because they were noise canceling and didn’t have the problems these have. I wouldn’t recommend them.

[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.

The left earbud stopped working (flashes red) after 2 years or so. Tried all the remedial suggestions on the Bose website and numerous forums, all the solutions failed to revive the earbud. It is somewhat disappointing that noticeably expensive earbuds can fail in an untimely manner. Anyways, 3 stars are for the quality of sound that once upon a time I used to enjoy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Ultra Open Earbuds three months ago. I wear them every day for hands free phone calls, listening to music, talk radio and while working out. I am able to connect them to multiple WIFI sources without issue. I find them very comfortable and stable on my ears. The case has a recharging capability that is a major improvement which allows me to go 2+ days without recharging! Excellent product!!

I've been using for a few weeks now. Good for music. They are lightweight and take some getting used to as they DO NOT SIT INSIDE THE EAR! Battery life is amazing, last me all day; will forget you're wearing them! Phone calls have been horrible for me! I thought maybe because I was only wearing one! Even with both of them the quality is poor as far as people say. When I'm speaking on the phone with them in, I often have to repeat myself constantly. That makes me sad! The main reason for my purchase. The price is for the brand. These ain't that phenomenal.

I don't usually do product reviews but this time I am making an exception — since I previously bout two other competing earbuds. My main concern: that I can safely walk about & around and not lose or have the buds drop out. Like on a plane. These are fabulous in that design. Equally important that the music quality and “loudness” are first class. From my perspective, these beat Apple's ver. 2 by some percentage points. Bottom line, after a lot of experimentation with different ear-pods over the last two years, these are clearly the winners!

Overall best money spent on headphones in awhile. They're fairly comfortable for 4-5 hours but for me but might not be the case for everyone. Takes getting used to, have had them two weeks or so and I use them often. Haven't used them out on errands or any of that, I've knocked one off mistakenly and can think of countless scenarios where that would be a drag. The on ear control is a trip because you look like you're giving baseball signs (my wife cracks on me about how they look). She also tells me to quiet down and, along with knocking one off, it speaks to how easily you can forget that you have them on. The immersive audio is a blast. When you look at a pair of speakers you'd swear that they are the source. Best kind of weird. Really enjoy them. For the money, a case cover would be a nice touch. There can be an irritating crackle and stereo R-L issue when they first connect, but it's brief. Other than that I flip my flops and enjoy the sound followin me around like a ghost

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a set of these yesterday, already don't like them Too much. Bass isn't very noticeable most of the time, activating Siri with voice commands doesn't work, I love Bose products until now lol.

Everything about the sound, the design, and all of the features is spot on! I am however very disappointed because these will not connect to my Samsung TV! I will admit, the TV is a 2016 model...bur, ALL of my other earbuds, headphones, connect but not these. I am trying to decide if I will keep, or return
