I bought these open ear buds a few weeks ago and absolutely love them! Whether you listen to your music loud or soft the music quality is amazing. It’s uncanny how a person standing right next to you cannot hear your music. Because of the cuff design you still hear everything around exactly as if you were not wearing the ear buds at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for replacement for the Shokz bone conduction and I found it. Everything i loved the shokz, only 100 better. I forget I have them.on when I'm not listening to them and when they are playing the sound quality is unmatched! The controls are easy to master and the build is awesome. Bose has done it again.

I am impressed with the sound quality and purchase them to play white noise when I am in an environment (church choir/orchestra) that is too loud for my sensitive hearing. I also find them very convenient to silence temporarily, lower or raise volume, etc.

[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 just traded my Bose Quite Comfort Ultra to Bose Ultra open earbuds a month ago, Not impressed with Ultra open earbuds, not only that ultra open earbuds cost more. I shouldn't trade my Quite comfort ultra...big mistake

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought the “Buds” and so glad I did. I’m 65 and they were so so easy to set up. The sound quality is amazing and I love how they fit. I’ve had 3 people ask me about the buds just walking around our neighborhood and my neighbor said she was going to get her a pair.

The sound is really great, but I am disappointed in their ability to stay in my ears. I knew with the Bose name that the sound would be great. I got them based on how they were supposed to stay in one's ears well. I even had a young person help me! If I put the part that is supposed to be on the outside of the ears on the outside, it seems like the speaker part for the inside does not go where it's supposed to. It seems like the on/off button is the part that goes in/near the ear, not the sound end.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think I’m allergic to the coverings on most earbuds. These are super comfortable, never irritate my ears and have great sound quality. I wish they were a little more adjustable- sometimes I have trouble hearing because they are so far from my ear canal. But would definitely buy again for comfort alone

I have owned these since shortly after they were introduced. I really love how comfortable they are as I have forgotten I was wearing them several times. They are great for listening to podcasts as the battery life is very good. Unfortunately I find that I have to make sure I speak up during calls. Unless I make a concerted effort to speak up I can't be heard on the other end. Good solid connectivity and very comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant at first to purchase, but so far so good. I was so used to having to blast the music that the sound was distorted at first. Once I adjusted to the fact that "less is more, they sound wonderful at lower volumes. I was also very happy with the app's equalizer and other sound settings. One shortcoming so far is the quality of the microphone. I had several people tell me they cannot hear me clearly while I was in a quiet room. The Bose rep quickly sent me out a new pair and I am testing them now.
