[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just wanted to take a moment to express my enthusiasm for your ultra open-ear design earbuds. They are everything I’ve been waiting for and more! The sound quality is exceptional—offering the perfect balance of private listening while still keeping me aware of my surroundings. This feature makes them ideal for any environment, whether I'm enjoying my favorite playlists or taking phone calls. Comfort is another standout aspect; I often forget I'm even wearing them! The immersive audio experience truly elevates my listening sessions, and the stereo mode creates a surround sound sensation that makes me feel like I’m right in the middle of the action—like being at a concert or a club. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Bose, for delivering such an outstanding product. Keep up the amazing work!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband bought the Sandstone color as a gift for me. I am absolutely in love with them. I have a child with a heightened sensory system and me listening to music is a trigger for her. Regular in ear earbuds are noise cancelling so I can't hear what's going on around me but the Ultra open earbuds allow me to hear what's going on around me and I can still have my music. For me, this is a game changer! I get the best of both worlds! These are 'Ultra' easy to use and the sound quality is incredible! Fast forward a few months, my other college age daughter used them while she was home on break and loved them for the same reason. She said these would be great to wear in the lounge areas because she can hear what's going on around her without getting too distracted. She also said that they would be great when she is walking on campus at night for that peace of mind of knowing what's going on around her. Needless to say, we bought her the Chilled Lilac for her birthday!

Earphones are quality sound! Love the fact that you can hear anything without removing them. What I didn’t like was (1) with the headphones on, your cell phone still rings out loud and (2) the contact came of the caller is not announced. You’re provided with the phone number of the incoming call. I guess Apple me spoiled with those features. I am willing to forfeit quality sound and ear jewelry for those two key Apple features. Rating lost 2 stars for those reasons.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these a month ago and love them. Lightweight, forget I am wearing them. Sound quality is great. Softer when wrapped around my middle ear, louder when closer to my earlobe. The immersive sound and auto sound features are great. I bought my son a pair and he loves them as well. Bose is and always been the best!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the product, especially for the gym and outdoor running. I love the additional awareness of my surroundings that the open earbuds offer. However, I've already had to return them twice. Bose has been great in the process, but I'm hoping this pair doesn't have the quality problems the previous two did.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way they fit. You don't have to worry about your buds popping out. What's really crazy is how they sound. I can focus on getting lost in an ebook and still hear if someone speaks to me. They are easy to use and linked right up to my phone with no problems. I love these buds. I'm not a pro, just a fan of these top-notch buds.

I bought this product primarily because it would be able to clip onto my ears and not fall out. I have difficulty with those other EarPods falling out of my ear. Also, to communicate and not having to hold my phone as I need both hands to do my work. I do not purchase this product to listen to music. I work in a noisy environment, at an airport with airplanes coming and going, repairing airplanes and having to communicate with someone else in another area of the airplane, I am not able to hear what the other person is saying to me. This product, as far as I am concerned, is excellent for listening to music is a semi-quiet environment, not a noisy one. I need a product which can be inserted into my ear canal and be able to block out external noises and be noise cancelling. Unfortunately, I am sorry but I will be returning this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a month ago, and only have good things to say, except for one small issue. Pros: 1. The fit in my ear is OUTSTANDING. The way these are designed to use different parts of your ear for support is brilliant. They fit snugly without moving, they don't fall out while running/in the gym, and they don't press too tightly on my inner ear (unlike some "Pro" level in-ear earbuds). 2. The noise cancellation is excellent, much much better than air pods (even the pro version). 3. The 'Aware' mode is not the best transparency mode out there, but is more than enough for normal use. 4. The sound quality is more than good enough, you're not going to get much better out of earbuds. Cons: 1. These pick up a fair bit of wind noise. When running, I usually have to switch off the noise cancellation, but this is OK since the noise isolation is still pretty good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thrilled with these. They are comfy to wear all day through my work day. I have to check to make sure they are still on! They never fall off and the sound quality is all you would expect from Bose. Completely satisfied and happy with my new buds!

This is the best open ear set on the market! I wear them for everything, errands, hiking, running. You can hear your music flawlessly and it's great to be able to hear everything thats happening around you - if a neighbour says good morning, you don't miss that and the sound quality is fantastic! I do not have to turn up the volume to max, the sound delivery is incredible. Set up was easy and they are very comfortable.
