It does exactly what it advertises. I can hear my music while still hearing what's going on around me. I have also not had any problems talking on the phone while using this product. I can hear the caller and they have said they can hear me well. However, the reason I'm giving two stars is because of what the product lacks to offer. For $300 I expect a nice sturdy case that can also wirelessly charge. This case feels like cheap plastic and cannot wirelessly charge. There is also no find feature if they become lost, and then you're out $300. Overall, it does exactly what it is supposed to do. The ear pieces are good and hold onto the ear well. Besides the unique design I don't believe it is worth it's price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve tried different earbuds and I have AirPods Pro as well, none hold as well as these. My biggest issue is earbuds falling out because my ears get quite….wet with sweat and what not when I exercise. I tried cheap hoop earbuds, and wanted something a little more trustworthy with the sound. I do wish these were completely water proof, but I’m happy with them holding on so well ))

I bought these new earbuds , and they are the best product ever! They feel great and sound perfect for a busy lifestyle. The freedom to listen to my music and answer calls, and still be aware of my soundings is perfect. Easy to put on with ease and comfort . Bose is the only company for excellent pleasure!

I've had my Bose Ultra Open Earbuds for two weeks. These are the most comfortable earbuds I've owned; I forget I'm wearing them! They're perfect for the gym!! I really love the sound quality when listening to music, so immersive and beautiful! However, people have told me they cannot hear me well when we are talking on the phone. For me, it's really about the comfort and especially the music!!!

They don’t have BOSE sound quality compared to other BOSE products I have owned or experienced. The microphone quality is trash as I repeatedly get that the person I’m talking with can’t hear me and they don’t sync well with the Bluetooth on my phone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried lots of earbuds starting from JBL ending to bang and olufsen but the most comfortable one with it's ear clip and incredible sound is bose thank for this invention. I've always had problem with earbuds sliping from ear during workout this never happens with bose

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The New Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are perfect for doing your favorite outdoor sports. They attached perfectly to your ears. Don't move with running or Swett. And the Best Part of All Is That, they maintain the great high Quality Bose, Music Experience!

I been suffering from ear pain due to use of airpods and was looking for a comparably performing reliable alternative that wouldn't seal the ear canal , finally found one, love the buds , it would have been even better if the case had wireless charging..

These earbuds fit the exact opposite use case of closed/noise canceling earbuds. Being able to go through all my daily tasks and activities with background music while still being able to hear everything around me is a breath of fresh air. The open-ear design really does make a difference since all other earbuds have some degree of passive noise cancellation so listening to music and hearing a friend's voice an all its clarity is a pretty cool experience. Sound quality is surprisingly very good. I thought having an open-ear design would hinder it's sound quality greatly, but it still sounds very good to me. I usually have these at a lower/medium volume so it's almost like a cafe setting of having music constantly in the background while I talk with friends or coworkers. Once you put these at a louder setting it does lose slightly lose it's privacy, but the details and fullness of the sound really comes through. The fit and comfort is a bit of a learned experience. Since it 'bands around' your ear rather than going in your ear, you really need to find a comfortable sweet spot. When these are resting all the way down on my ear against my earlobe then I'll start feeling discomfort fairly quickly, but if I move it up on the middle area of my ear then I can leave it there for hours. The comfort at this sweet spot is wonderful because combined with it's weightless feel, most of the time I forget it's there. I tried jogging and playing tennis with these on and it surprisingly stayed on. It took a moment to trust that they weren't going to fall out, but eventually I was able to relax and just enjoy my exercise listening to music and bantering my friends at the same time.

These are the first earbuds I have been able to wear comfortably for any activity throughout the day. Nothing else ever fit my ears. The immersive audio motion setting means my music surrounds me wherever I go while still being aware of my surroundings.
