[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The good: very lightweight and comfortable, I can wear them longer than any other headphones I have (QCbuds and QC overear included). Sound quality is as you would expect from Bose - great. The bad: I live in NYC and thought these would be great to wear around so I can be aware of surroundings while listening to audio. This works for music, but I can't hear my podcasts clearly enough even with volume turned all the way up. NYC is loud, so this is probably only be a problem in very loud situations, but it was disappointing. Also, I have very sensitive skin and the backs of my ears have gotten irritated where they clip on. A pity bc they really are comfy, so hoping that calms down with time.

I was looking for something to be able to use for my long runs, work place ambiance, and working around the home. Honestly, I feel like these give me everything I was looking for while providing the great sound Bose is known for. For my runs, these stay in my ear even when I am sweating and bouncing around. The open design also allows me to keep attention on what's going on around me. Vehicles driving by or people trying to talk to me. For the work place, I can sit on my computer and get work done with some entertainment be it music or audio books. Co-workers do not notice that I am listening to music due to me being able to communicate back and carry on with work. The sound stays in my ear without being loud around me. For working around the house, these are great when using my power tools or when mowing the lawn. My attention can be kept to the sounds going on around me and still listen to music. The only downside is I can still hear my wife tell me what else needs to be done around the house. The app has a few settings to help customize your experience depending on what you like. Quick and easy EQ settings, Auto volume, and so on. Other benefits, I really like that my ear canals are not feeling stretched out as they have with other earbuds. It has allowed me to wear them up to 10 hours in a single day with great comfort. If you're looking for earbuds that are great all around and amazing sound then these are the ones for you!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought Bose Ultra Open Earbuds best Earbuds Ever they ate very comfortable sound is quality well worth the money they bet Apple Ear pods & Beats and sound better I would recommend to everyone

My wife has a pair of bose earbuds and works from home. I bought the ultra open earbuds to help her hear the open meetings that she usually attends through conference calls. I asked her to try them out and she was excited about the new design. She gave me the quiet comfort earbuds and now she can enjoy her music and meetings at the same time. Thank you for the new product.

For the first time, I have all my requirements/needs met in a pair of ear buds. They are comfortable to wear, they do not fall out of my ears, they do not get stuck in my ears obstructing my surrounding necessary noise, they will not adversely affect my hearing, the recharging case is awesome, and I can have conversation with music playing and hear all of the conversation with the music easily channeled out as background noise until the conversation is over. It's like talking on my favorite elevator ride or something! Also, I am a cyclist. There is nothing like having music on the road and at the same time being able to hear my surroundings (passing cyclists, motor vehicles, emergency vehicles, etc.). Bose has always led the audio industry in my opinion, and it is products like this that will always keep them ahead of the pack. It is worth the extra money as an investment in my entertainment and my life. Well worth it!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these earbuds. I wear a hearing aid, so these allow me to still keep them in. I appreciate being able to hear my surroundings as I walk around the city. The push buttons are nicely tactile. They feel very comfortable on my ears. These are the only earbuds that fit and are secure on my ears.

Im loving my purchase, however I gave it 4 stars because it does not have the capacity to be found using your phone. I have already misplaced them twice and it would be so handy if we could ping it with the app or if it was compatible with the find my iPhone feature

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sound quality and volume range! Eventully these do hurt my ears sometimes. Never slip off though! I use mostly in an office where I need to hear what is around me at the same time. However these are also perfect for walks/runs/working out because they don't slip off and take hours to hurt my ears.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for my birthday and they have been the best purchase/gift!! I even forget sometimes I have them on because of how comfortable they are, I can hear the music louder and clearer, plus they look great and people always stop me to ask me where I got them. I love them!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The appearance design is eye-catching, and the overall wearing experience is also very comfortable. The headphones are equipped with Bose's latest OpenAudio open audio technology, continuing Bose's classic immersive audio effects, allowing open headphones to also have a full sense of "immersion".
