[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these and are about to get them for my wife. I own all of the Ultra Bose Product line. They all have their strengths. If you want to listen to what you want but still be able to hear the world around you naturally, these Ultra Open Ear Buds are amazing. Great sound for music, podcasts or calls and yet you can still hear the world. From travel to cleaning up around the house, awesome.

The box specifies that these buds are for iPhone, but compatible with android. That was very off-putting. It gives Andriod are 2nd, but they are just as innovative as iphones. My money is just as good as an persons money with an iphone as well, so I did not like that at all. Exceptional comfort, i get 8hrs of wear easily. When they're not in use, but i have them on still, i lterally forget theyre there until i stroke my hair. Exceptional performance when using for music or video back. Horrible for phone calls, i can hear the audio from a call well, but people have trouble hearing me if my phone isnt up to my mouth, which defeats the purpose of using headphones for a call. . They're very expensive so I expected more at that price point.

Incredible sound. I walk around downtown with them in immersive mode, and it seems like the entire city street is filled with music, even though it's just a few grams of gear hanging off each ear lobe. Sound quality is exceptional. They last all morning, at least 6 hours for me. I'd love for them to last longer, but with present battery technology, I'm sure that would double or more their weight. As is, you can completely forget that you are wearing them.

Great sound when listening to music however it has randomly disconnected at times. Answering and talking on calls has been the biggest disappointment. When I talk on cellphone, my calls sound static and not clear. It's frustrating and I have to disconnect and talk with cellphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As any Bose product, the sound quality is amazing but what I really love about these earphones is how comfortable they are! They don't make my ears sore even after a couple of hours of wearing them. Plus, I love how stylish they look (they look like ear cuffs). :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a pair for myself 3 months ago. These are so useful. Love the concept of being able to still hear around you and still listen to music. My wife also started to use mine so I bought her a pair as well. Love these!

Using these earbuds is like strolling through a personal sound field that consistently stays put, no matter the activity; be it in the gym, on the farm, in the city or at home. This design brings a sense of freedom; I can be fully immersed in my surroundings while enjoying my own soundtrack. It's the blend of awareness and private listening that sets these earbuds apart. They combine snug fit, stellar sound, and the ability to keep me connected to the world around me in a sleek, refined design. Their robust build and intuitive functionality enrich my daily life, making every moment enjoyable with a backdrop of my favorite tunes. I'm genuinely impressed with these earbuds and their ability to deliver a private, yet open listening experience. They're a testament to what modern audio tech can achieve, blending high-quality sound with real-world practicality.

Good sound quality is very good clear rich bass..easy to set up…easy to wear..and it's there all day long..not easy to fall off.. Great 👍 Bad.when I'm called all the answers .said the same is POOR from me it's hard to hear 👂 I'm Bose customer about 20 years..maybe it's to long time to try something else..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had these for about a month and I'm still trying to figure out how to make them work. When I can, the sound is beautiful, but it's like "pulling teeth" to get the information to use them to their full capacity. For the "non-teenage" crowd, Bose needs to include a users manual along with that $300 purchase or they will be getting more returns than necessary.

Great product, a little soft on the sound but expected because it is an open earbud. I think my Quite Comfort 2 sounds better, but hey, this works because it does not fall off my ears when moving around or exercising. Minor thing to point out, for those with large ear lobs, the hook is not long enough to completely grasp it. It's still secured, but not as comfortable. Does have some quirk on connecting to my phone sometimes - sometimes it doesn't connect, sometimes it loses connection. I turned off the voice prompt to see if it helps with that. Let's see. Turning off voice prompt does help with Quiet Comfort 2 earbuds for me. Wish Bose has fixed that already.
