[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mine are the black ones I bought these back in March, I absolutely love them!! I can be aware of my surroundings and still listen to music!! I wear them all day long, I really wanna get light brown or white in these, but overall best purchase so far!!

Typical of Bose, the quality, comfort and sound are superb. These are the first earbuds I’ve had that don’t fall out of my ears at random, and I suspect it’s because of the two points of adjustable fitment (ear canal and outer “dish”), which I love. These stay in my ear most of the day and often into the night, and there is no discomfort or ache from having them in for such long periods of time. The “aware” mode is fantastic and it sounds like there is some electronic amplification of the surrounding ambient noise when in aware mode that is necessitated by the nearly perfect seal these buds have in my ears when positioned correctly. Also typical of Bose quality that is on par with the zen-like silence their QC cans can achieve, is their quiet mode. And likewise, listening to music with these remains best in class. On a side-by-side test of calls with my other brands of earbuds and headphones, callers (zoom and over cell) chose these. They’ve also been problem-free pairing with my Apple ecosystem. The only two issues I’ve found are that they don’t handle high wind environments well, though to be fair, none of my other earbuds do either, and I wish there was a lanyard attachment on the case because it would make them easier to find in my bag a/o attach to something for easy grab and go. Gestures are nicely customizable and easy to remember. They charge quickly and I appreciate the additional charges stored in the case. So…these come out at the top of my line-up for me and they’re the ones I now always reach for. Well done Bose!

I’ve only had my earbuds for a few weeks but I will admit I love using them! I wanted a good set that wouldn’t hurt my ears and because this pair simply wraps around my ears instead of going inside, they are pain free. They were easy to pair with my phone and the sound quality is excellent. I like that I can switch listening modes from sitting, to walking, to outdoors, etc. The only ding I will give them is I am not able to control the volume on them. It worked the first day but everyday after I’ve had to set the volume on my iPhone. I even removed the Bose app from my phone and started all over but that didn’t work. So if I’m outside or doing whatever, I can’t increase or decrease the volume unless I have my phone with me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the bose ultra open earbuds about a montha nd a half ago and they do NOT disappoint. I go on a lot of walks and am pretty active outside but I also love vibin to my music so I got these thinking they would fit the bill and allow me to do what I love. THEY DO.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Truly, I love them! I have had over-ear and in-ear headphones and these are far superior. I don’t like having something in my ears. I forget these are even there. Seriously, I have turned off sound and an hour later, they were still on my ears. The sounds is Bose excellence, which was expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this for about a month and I can tell you what a game changer it has been i always had an ear bud on and before with the AirPods Pro I could not heard anything around me but with this Bose ones I have still listen to what is playing and anything happening around me too

I have had these almost two weeks. They are great when they stay paired. It’s incredibly frustrating how often then lose my phone and I have to forget them in Bluetooth and re-pair them. Sound is great, comfort is great, but staying paired is bad. I may return them.

My new Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are officially my new favorite eay to wirelessly connect to my devices!. They are light as a feather which means I can listen to my devices longer without the ache my other earbuds cause. Listening to music outside and being aware of my surroundings was a balancing act, not anymore. Not only am I able to listen to my play list as I go for my daily run, but the open ear design allows me to still be present and alert to my surroundings. Did I mentioned the amazing sound quality!!! These for me are a win, win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, I had to return the earphones, as the Open-ear design is not conducive to varying ear dimensions, consequently not permitting a fit that allows the drivers to be directly adjacent to the ear canal, which causes low amplitude, even with volume at maximum, which then distorts negatively. But,I then bought the in ear Ultras, which were very good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd been wanting the Ultra Open Earbuds for a while. I wanted them for running outside. I was hopeful that I would keep my situational awareness with these in. I want to be able to hear runners or cyclists behind me or a car coming, etc. With standard in-ear buds I end up running with only one in so I can use the other ear to listing to the environment. The problem was that I'm a bit of an audiophile so having only one earbud in was annoying. I have to report that these open earbuds sound amazing and I'm able to keep up with my ambient surroundings. They are less good at a gym that is playing music inside because you end up hearing both. Podcasts are great though, you can hear the gyms music, the podcast, and the dude ripping reps on the bench.
