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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im dead of my left ear and always have such a hard time finding headphones let alone earbuds that allow me to still hear my soroundings and not hurt my very sensitive ears. I finally found an answer to my prayers with these earbuds! Thank you Bose for making this product! I can now feel safe traveling and listening to music, I can use it to make calls while cooking and also use it at work for calls and meetings and still hear everything else

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I traded in a pair of Bose wired earbuds for the Ultra Open Earbuds and I'm glad I did. I wear these open earbuds during my workday and I'm very aware of my surroundings while interacting in conversation, but I also hear my music at the same time. It's so nice not having to pause to take the earbud out. Additionally, the Immersive Audio feature is so clear, it makes you feel like you're in the front row of the concert. The sound clarity is unmatched.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live these headphones. Make for easy listening at work without being unapproachable. In my line of work I jave to be willing to conversate with anyone who may need help. I have read brothers complaint about sound quality. I think the sound is great. Considering the style of headphone. I enjoy them. Use them every day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are on the fence about getting these, get off the fence. After two sets of Airpods whereby the left pod stopped charging. I took the leap and got these buds. I forget they are on most of the time. I walk around the office and workout in them as well. Feel secure on my ear. Sound is amazing & can switch beware 3 listening modes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these mainly for wear when I'm riding (harley) so the noise cancelling was super important. Works exceedingly well. Battery life is great bottom line the sound quality is what you would expect from bose...EXCELLENT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good earbuds, but not for thr price. They produce excellent output for music, but when it comes to receiving and talking through them not good at all. I have ppl telling me all the time that they can't hear me even with the volume turned up completely and that was the main reason for me purchasing them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds a week ago. I can pretty describe it in just ONE word: “WOW !!! “ Awesome sound and I can still hear my wife giving taskers and not ignoring it LOL I forgot I was wearing the open Earbuds while doing my chores and still earn good points with the wife!

These headphones have two major wins going for them. If you need a pair where you can still interact with the outside world, and need something that has all-day comfort - these will fit the bill very nicely. If you're looking for something to block out noise on an airplane, then these won't do that, but what they do, they do well. First is the comfort. I can wear the traditional stick in your ear, sound isolating earbuds for a couple hours, then I start to get a light ache in the ear, which makes sense. The sound isolating headphones try and block that outside noise by cramming themselves in your ear, putting pressure on it. These simply don't. It's a little speaker sitting right next to your ear. Second is the interaction with the outside world. You can still hear people and converse with them in a very natural way. I know some other headphones have a feature where you can enable the mic's to broadcast what's going on to your headphones, but this is a different experience, more natural. Finally, physical buttons. I love it. A lot of small headphones have touch sensitive buttons and maybe you slide right, maybe you pressed it a couple times, maybe it registered. Due to the design, these support physical buttons, with tactile feedback, so you know what you pressed and what you didn't. It's good to have a real button. If you need sound isolation - these aren't the headphones for you. If you don't, for example in an office environment, then these perform great and could meet your need. I'd recommend them for people looking for something small, comfortable, and not needing isolation from the outside world.
