I bought this for my office job to take calls and listen to music. The audio is great and but lacks bass so you can hear your surroundings. They do adjust around the ear but you have to find the right part of the ear to get the best audio. Otherwise it will sound like you are listening thru another persons earphone. Overall they are a great product and the 5th star wasnt given because I feel that the audio piece can be extended a little more to get better audio.

I got these about a month ago, and they’re fantastic! Please keep in mind that at high volume levels, you are not going to get the expected Bose sound. It’s just not there, and I’m not sure there’s a way to do it, because if their design (open ear). Don’t get me wrong, I will NOT be taking these back by any means, I’m just saying that for their price point, $299, there are probably other options that would suit you equally as well, if not better. That being said, I would definitely get them again. I have a friend that has some open ear buds similar to these, the design is VERY similar, and they were MUCH less expensive. However, they aren’t Bose, and to me, that was worth it. They sound great, but I’m sure other cheaper options would be incredibly similar. I’m not going to say that you need to get these because they are the best. I’m saying that you should get them if they work for you, and you are able to afford them. I recommend them, for sure! I also recommend getting something that you can afford! Just remember, these aren’t the typical Bose sound quality, only due to design.

I already owned the Quiet Comfort Ultra earbuds, but I read a lot of reviews about Ultra Open Earbuds which said they were more comfortable. So, I bought them as well. I love the Quiet Comfort Ultras, the Open Earbuds, not so much. Yes, the sound is great, and it's great that I can hear what is going on around me. So, for those aspects, I give them a 5 out of 5. However, I find them difficult to put on unless I am looking in a mirror, and I don't think they are as comfortable as the Quiet Comfort Ultra. In fact, I find them a little annoying. So for those two aspects, I would give them a two. Therefore, averaging the two grades together, I come up with a 2 and 1/2. So, I'll round it up to a three. As for the Quiet Comfort Ultra, I give them a 5..

I just purchased these a few weeks ago. When they arrived I could hardly wait to give them a try. Beautiful. Exactly what I expected from a Bose product. However, I have to be honest and say something about the earbuds going silent out of the clear blue sky. I often use them while riding my bike and have them connected to my iPhone. I carry my phone in a pocket that is less than 24" from the earbuds. On multiple occasions, I have had to stop, put the buds back in their case, disconnect the phone connection, and start all over again. What up with this problem? Otherwise, I LOVE THEM.

I bought these new ear buds and besides the color I was looking forward to trying them out. They are so functional, easy to wear, they stay on my ear and my hair doesn't pull it out of my ears. I'm very happy with my purchase and glad I upgraded my product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy the clear sound on these and the noise canceling they can provide. I have had difficulty with a few things, though. First, i had trouble at first getting them to fit my ear canals which are narrow. I eventually found that I needed to remove the outer stretchy ring, which did not help with fit, but only made it harder. Once I did this, they fit much better. I've also had trouble with the earbuds shutting off randomly, both or just one. I set the controls on the app so that it would be hard to turn them off accidentally, but it still happens, especially when I've been wearing them a while.

Embarking on my journey with the Bose Ultra open earbuds has been nothing short of delightful. As a resident of NYC, these earbuds have seamlessly integrated into my lifestyle, becoming an indispensable companion during my travels across the city. Their open design not only keeps me aware of my surroundings but also ensures a level of comfort that traditional earbuds simply cannot match. Whether navigating the streets with walking directions or simply immersing myself in city life, these earbuds are my go-to choice. While they may lack noise cancellation, they excel in providing a heightened sense of situational awareness, making them perfect for my daily commutes. As someone with multiple ear piercings, I initially had concerns about the fit, but to my delight, they proved to be both secure and comfortable. I would advise others with similar concerns to ensure compatibility with their piercings for optimal comfort. Moreover, the battery life has exceeded my expectations, offering prolonged usage without frequent recharges. In essence, the Bose Ultra open earbuds have not only met but surpassed my expectations, enhancing my auditory experience while seamlessly complementing my urban lifestyle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had them for about a month and its the BEST sound I've ever had from ear buds and love the fit, don't worry bout them falling out every time I lean over and the sound quality is just amazing ... so in love with them!!

Really nice earbuds to listen to music but horrible when you are on the phone. The other party on the phone can hardly hear you talk. For the money I expected more. If they get the mic fixed they would be perfect. Do not buy if you are expecting to take phone calls.

I've been wearing these nearly every day for two weeks and absolutely love these. I work in an office and listen to music to help me focus, but typically my ears start to hurt while wearing earbuds/headphones after three hours. With these, I can wear them 3+ hours without ear pain because it does not feel like I'm wearing earbuds! The sound is amazing too, and especially as I work in an office, listening to music with aware mode on means I don't have to pause my music when someone needs to talk to me. The only con is the case charging; it charges the earbuds every time you put them back in the case. So, I need to charge the case itself every other day due to the frequent time I put the earbuds back in the case for meetings. BUT the case charges quick, so it's not a huge inconvenience.
