[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a dancer and when it comes to competitions, you don't always get to play your music because there are 100 other people practicing at the same time. These are the only headphones I've been able to use that haven't flown off of my head while turning and dancing full out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Bose Ultra open Earbuds in December and I am loving it big time .i can listen to my music and still hear someone speaking to me . It is also very comfortable and had bern wearing it all day .

I bought the baby blue open ears. Listening to music is quite the experience. Crisp sound while still being able to hear the world around you, which is very important for women's safety. I love that the open ears clip on -- no more ear fatigue from things inserted into my ear! What I don't like is the quality when talking on the phone. Despite my phone and the Bose app being on full volume, it's very hard to hear the other person. I don't know if it's just the ones I got, but this is the second set after Bose replaced the first one for the same problem, so I am extrapolating that this is a problem with the whole lot. I'm willing for Bose to prove me wrong by making mine work as intended.

Wow! 5 star-worth for the unique space age design alone! In fact, that's my nickname for these Bose buds: "Space Age!" The design is truly unique in a world of mainstream earbud styling. While stunning to look at, almost akin to jewelry, it took me a minute to figure out how to wear them! I had to watch tutorials, which Bose helpfully provides. I kept trying to stick them IN my ear canal rather than ON my ear like an ear cuff. I thought they would fall out, but they didn't. In fact, the way they wrap felt as secure if not more secure than the in-ear buds. Important caveat: these are not noise cancelling like quiet comfort and other Bose buds. I always use my Bose noise cancelling buds for traveling. I cannot fly without them! These will not replace those. While they aren't noise cancelling, they do a solid job of immersing the listener in the audio. For reference, they are nowhere near as transparent as the "Aware" mode on the Bose noise cancelling--much more opaque than that setting. In terms of safety, these cannot be more highly recommended. It's just not safe to be completely oblivious to surroundings while walking in traffic or in crowded places. These allow awareness while providing truly amazing Bose immersive sound. The modes are interesting--the still and motion are too cool. The audio stays centered even when moving your head back and forth in "Still" and "Motion" throws the sound out in front! The immersive mode does take some getting used to, but the option for regular (Bose regular, that is) stereo sound is always an option. Overall, for me, other than on an airplane, I will be turning to these beautiful Space Age buds for my daily activities--walking the dog, exercising, listening to audio books, and watching movies on my computer when hubby is sleeping!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since 1980 I've been a Bose fan. Purchasing the Bose 901s for my home stereo system while I was in the USAF stationed in Bentwaters/Woodbridge USAFE UK. Later my daughter gave me Bose headphones, and after that I purchased a Bose sound bar for my flat screen tv. When Bose released the new ear buds I had to have them and purchased a pair for my wife as well! Her response was "the best thing I didn't know I'd love" which I knew would happen.

These open earbuds are a near-perfect combination of comfort, sound quality and sleek design. Although it feels almost non-existent in my ears, sometimes I can feel a little bit uncomfortable vibration caused by the bass on my earlobes. The minimalistic case is easy to carry around but missing wireless charge feature is a little bit down. The connection usually is the big problem with these. I sometimes can hear the cracking noise and get tired of inconsistent connection. Audio call function is not so natural, and people from other line often cannot hear the conversation properly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been searching for an open ear earbud product for some time now. I had tried others, all with significant trade off in sound quality or wearability. I purchased the Open Ear ultra’s and my search came to a halt. Excellent Bose quality sound, outstanding wearability, a great companion app, and very good battery life. I use them when in the house, out walking, or working out, and in all cases I get great sound and the ability to remain fully connected to the outside world. Not having an in-ear design makes them so easy to wear that I forget I have them on. And, the button functionality works far better for me than trying to navigate a touch system on earbuds like many other competing products. If you’re looking for a great open ear earbud, buy them and you won’t be disappointed. I love them, and my ears love them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased them almost a month ago and I can honestly say that I am impressed with them! The sound quality is amazing and I can still hear everything around me that I need too! Great for working out or playing golf!

[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.] I recently gifted my sister her very first pair of BOSE headphones, and the look on her face was priceless! She was absolutely blown away by the incredible sound quality and fidelity. To top it all off, I chose a beautiful light purple color for them, and she couldn’t be happier with that choice. It’s safe to say they were a hit!
