[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They worked really well up until I threw them in the washing machine. Interestingly enough they still worked for a period and I bet if I had let them dry before using them they would have continued to work. I bought another pair and have been happy with them as well. It pairs quickly and knows which device to pair to if it is connected to multiple devices which is really clever and the sound is amazing. Clean and tight so it doesn’t sound overly loud even though they are loud.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these a few weeks ago and would say that I really like them! As someone whose ears are pretty sensitive and often hurt with in-ear earbuds, these ultra open earbuds are a great alternative and pain-free! I appreciate how the earbud is not directly inside of my ear. I commute everyday to college, so these are amazing to stay aware of my surroundings, but I do think that it gets hard to hear from them in noisy environments like public transportation. Despite that, I do prefer them to noise cancelling earbuds and would definitely recommend them! They also never fall out, and I often sleep with them forgetting that they are on.

I purchased these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds last month, they are fantastic. They let you listen to good sound quality while still having access to your outside environment. I think they are great for walking my dogs because I can hear automobiles approaching from behind me. These earbuds help make certain that my dogs are safe & clear when traffic approaches. You can also hear people when summoned and easily pause your music/podcast to engage in conversation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a fan on normal earbuds. These are perfect because they’re just on the edge of your ear; it’sike another accessory. Sound is Bose quality (iykyk). They still allow for you to be fully aware of your surroundings. Love these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great concept. Earbuds were not the right size and they fell off when I was exercising. The distance from my earlobes to to the ear canal did not allow me to have great quality sound coming from the earbuds.

I purchased my Bose open earbuds about a month ago and the experience is an overall disappointment. On the plus side, the sound quality is great, particularly when listening to music Also positive is that they are extremely comfortable to wear even if they are a bit clumsy to put on and situate correctly. On the down side 1) the microphone is very poor and every ambient sound affects it. People cannot hear me much of the time or it fades in and out. I have to be completely stationary in a quiet room for them to work. I mostly have to switch to my speaker on the phone. I would not have purchased these had I known it would be this bad 2) a charge does not last the whole day. They quit about 9 hours into the day. Those are the primary things and they are truly annoying. I cannot recommend the product except to listen to podcasts and music.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds completely reshaped my expectations for open‑ear audio. I always assumed great sound required noise cancellation or full over‑ear headphones, but these proved me wrong. What starts out feeling like a gimmick quickly becomes something you barely notice on your ears. The audio immersion is impressive, yet you remain fully aware of your surroundings — a combination that’s hard to beat. I still love my QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, but they serve a different purpose. For all‑day comfort and ambient awareness, the Ultra Open Earbuds are excellent. There are shortcomings, though. Call quality is weak to the point of being nearly unusable, and the earbuds occasionally drop connection and reset themselves, which gets frustrating. If you don’t rely on them for phone calls and can tolerate the occasional restart, these remain top‑tier, high‑end earbuds. I use them constantly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t think I’d like open-ear earbuds this much, but the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds honestly changed my mind. The biggest thing for me is how natural they feel. I can listen to music and still hear what’s going on around me, which is perfect when I’m out or even just at home. It doesn’t feel isolating like regular earbuds, and I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate that until I used these. Sound-wise, they’re really solid. You’re not getting that fully “sealed-in” bass like traditional earbuds, but for what they are, they sound way better than I expected - clear vocals, good balance, and still enough low-end to enjoy your music. Comfort is probably my favorite part. They’re super lightweight, so there’s no pressure or soreness. I’ve worn them for hours and forgot I even had them on. Battery life has been good so far, and everything just works smoothly. No weird connection issues or anything like that. Overall, if you hate the feeling of regular earbuds or just want something more comfortable for everyday use, these are definitely worth checking out. Not perfect for every situation, but for what they’re made for, they do a really good job

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Bose QuietComfort Earbuds roughly six to months ago. I totally literally listen to music when I walk, shopping, work, don't tell anybody about work.(smile) Any of my Bose speakers from the television, Bose QC Headphones and our Bose Flex soundlink and I could go on but we won't. Thank you Bose for making music sound so awesome. There is alot of different brands out there, But I must say you're the best, I will be a customer for life. HoooooRaaaaaah!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ​I bought this a month ago and am so happy that I did and I would highly recommend it to anyone else. What sets these apart from every other pair of earbuds I’ve owned is the unique cuff-like design. I was skeptical at first about how they would stay on, but they are incredibly comfortable for all-day wear; sometimes I actually forget I’m even wearing them. ​The audio clarity is impressive, especially considering they don't sit inside your ear canal. ​Spatial Audio: The "Immersive Audio" mode makes a massive difference, making the sound feel like it’s coming from speakers in front of you rather than inside your head. ​Awareness: The biggest win for me is being able to stay fully present. I can listen to my favorite podcasts or music while still hearing traffic, office chatter, or someone calling my name without having to toggle a "transparency mode." ​The flexible joint feels durable, and the button controls are much more reliable than the finicky touch sensors found on other models. Battery life has been solid, easily getting me through a full day of intermittent use without needing to rush back to the charging case. ​If you’re someone who hates the "plugged-up" feeling of traditional silicone tips or needs to stay aware of your surroundings for safety or social reasons, these are a game-changer. They offer a premium, stylish look and a sound profile that punches way above their open-ear weight class.
