[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish they were slightly more secure. (Had to retrieve a dropped ear bud from beneath a tight Amtrak trian seat last night), but the two biggest improvements which need to be made and that are foremost in my mind: waterproofing (I walk, ruck, and trailrun in the rain a lot) and comfort while sleeping. Improve these and it'll be a 5-star experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second set of earbuds, from Bose. The newest model is the absolute best and I assumed they could not improve from the last model of open earbuds, I bought three years ago. Surprise! They outdid themselves! The sound is stunning! I am a forever fan of Bose.

I use earbuds every day, all day, and the most important tings that I have found needed for a good experience is fit, battery life and the ability for people to hear you clearly on phone calls. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds fit the bill in a very satisfying way. I usually only wear 1 earbud so I can stay attuned to the outside world and this works very well. The cuff-like earpiece take a little bit getting used to in finding proper placement but they are not going to fall out & they are very comfortable. I mainly use mine for talking, listening to podcasts & audiobooks and they exceed previous earbuds in this regard. I wear one all day long into the evening with no ear fatigue or discomfort. The battery life is fantastic one will last me all day long & I've only re-charged the case once after 4 days. The app is clean and easy to understand and was easy to register and pair my earbuds with and has different modes you can choose from. I do notice my volume slider is louder on these but that's because they are not shoved down your ear canal. They are a little on the pricey side as are most Bose Products but Bose is a premium product and well worth it.. overall I give them a 9 out of 10 with the 1 point taken away because of the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only had these a few weeks but they are incredible! I'm so excited about finally finding earbuds that are comfortable. I can't wear in ear - they are painful. I actually forget I'm wearing these and not listening to speakers. I can hear others speak to me with them in and they can't hear my music. I wear them in office and can even answer the office landline phone with them in without issue. And the sound is incredible. Just what you would expect from Bose. Clear, full sound when listening to music or audio book/podcast. The controls are a bit fiddly at first, but it took a very short period of time to get them figured out. Although they don't turn off when you remove them from your ears, they aren't hard to turn off. One quick click. I also really like that I can pair them with my phone and my laptop so I don't have to put on headphones to participate in a remote meeting. I am really happy I purchased these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love these , you can still hear everything going on around and still hear your music too and no one even knows.i love how you forget yo you have them on even once you turn your music off. Very light weight.

I bought this a month ago and here are the pros -it does not fall during working out -sound is good but can be better considering the price tag -though it’s not noise cancelling it still does a good job Cons- -case cover is not well built. -sound quality can be better.Compared to the other earbuds I used from Bose in past ,this one does not have the same sound quality Overall a good buy if you want an earbud which does not fall off and fits well. Decent sound & longevity (case can charge your buds in 10 minute )

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best purchase ever! My ears don’t hurt and I can enjoy the comfort of these amazing earbuds! The sound is amazing and the easy options for phone use is amazing. I will be purchasing another pair to keep and work and for the gym!

Upon the release of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, my excitement as a devoted Bose product fan was palpable. I was a tad skeptical about these lacking noise-canceling. Yet, I was pleasantly surprised! The immersive audio from the open buds surpassed my expectations, effectively blocking out external noise. One of the standout features was the remarkable security and stability of the earbuds, even during vigorous movements. This instilled confidence in their suitability for activities like workouts or running. Additionally, the sleek and lightweight design of the charging case enhanced overall convenience and portability. Though I encountered a minor hiccup with Bluetooth connectivity upon unboxing, a simple update to the Bose app and a quick phone restart resolved the issue seamlessly. Now, turning to the most crucial aspects of the product, the exceptional sound quality and unparalleled comfort during extended wear stand out. Despite the absence of noise-canceling technology, the open buds delivered immersive audio that effectively drowned out external disturbances. Furthermore, the secure fit of the earbuds ensures comfort and stability even during vigorous activities. However, the lack of multi-device pairing and wireless charging are notable drawbacks. As someone who frequently switches between devices and values convenience, the inability to pair with multiple devices simultaneously is a significant inconvenience. Similarly, while the sleek design of the charging case is commendable, the absence of wireless charging adds an unnecessary layer of complexity, detracting from the overall user experience. In conclusion, despite these shortcomings, my overall satisfaction with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds remains unwavering. The exceptional sound quality, coupled with unmatched comfort and stability, makes them a compelling choice for daily use. With minor improvements in functionality, such as multi-device pairing and wireless charging, these earbuds could truly stand as the epitome of excellence in the audio industry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old Bose Sport Buds error'd out and I loved those.... So I went to these with much skepticism given the style (wrap around the ear lobe). The volume and bass for my buds is important as I like to run and increase the volume as get towards the finish. These buds haven't disappointed yet!! The volume is plenty and the comfort level is actually better than the old ones that plugged into my ears. I've been able to get several hours of use off one charge and the distance the buds can reach from the source is incredible. I haven't found anything else that can touch these and, yes, I've tried!

Purchased about a month ago. I'm enjoying the product because I wear glasses, and it doesn't irritate the top of my ear trying to wear them both at once. I do have trouble with the other person hearing me sometimes, while on calls. Outside sounds tend to drown out music, even when it's at high volume. Debating on keeping or returning.
