I bought these for Black Friday and after a few months, I’m pretty disappointed in them. I was very excited for these as I had been wanting a pair for a while and have been a Bose fan for years. Unfortunately, these have fallen short for me. While they have good sound, they are not noise canceling. Bose claims these are noise canceling, they are not. I can hear so much through these in their “quiet” mode that I have to constantly check to see if they are actually in quiet mode. This was a feature that was very important to me. I’ve worn them to university, on airplanes, in public places and the only times I don’t hear these sounds are when the music is too loud for my ears. I wear them when I walk to university and wind gets in (maybe I’m wearing the wrong earpiece size, but they seem to fit well otherwise). Also, sometimes they just randomly cut out for a second or two, even if my phone is in my pocket. They do have great range on the Bluetooth, though. Personally, I find that when I first put them in, the voice that tells me the battery percentage is way too loud. Speaking of the battery percentage, they’ve only ever told me that they’re at 100%. This makes me wonder if I might’ve received a defective pair, I wear them most days or everyday and I don’t charge them often. They’ve died on me twice after telling me that the battery is 100%, I guess I’ll never know my battery percentage. Also, I wish that the lowest volume was one notch lower, that would be insanely helpful for studying. The earbuds have a nice fit once you get used to the way they work, but they have a little silicone piece around the part that goes into the ear which is a little looser than I’d like. I take my earbuds out of my ears a lot when I’m on campus; to order coffee, talk to people, etc, but the silicone parts want to slip off all the time. One of them actually did the other day and now that one earbud doesn’t stay in my ear. They look nice and feel nice and stay in the ear if all the parts are there, but at the end of the day, I wish I had gone with a different company. I bought these to replace a pair of seven-year-old Sony wireless (not true wireless) earbuds and I honestly miss the Sony ones because they were noise canceling and didn’t have the problems these have. I wouldn’t recommend them.

I received these earbuds as a gift, and I wasn't sure whether I would like them or not, especially after being a lifelong AirPods owner. I'm not sure why I was skeptical seeing as Bose has such a stellar reputation. I regret not buying these for myself a long time ago! These are, without doubt, the best quality earbuds on the market. I love them so much that I immediately ordered them for my husband because I felt too selfish experiencing such a great product when he was still using AirPods. I love the innovative design and the comfort. They clip right on my ears, and I am not worried about them falling off at all. I am still in awe of the sound quality and how no one around you can hear anything.

[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.

I love that they do not go into my ear and can still drown out all the noise around me. But also allow me to hear what is going on. The buttons on the earbuds make it easy to pause the music and restart it without pulling the earbuds out to hear people talk to you. These are not good for talking on the phone outside, they pick up all the noises around you and not so much your voice.

Love these so far. I cannot use in-ear buds as they dont stay in. These are the only earbuds I've found that stay on my ear, lightweight and comfortable. I was shocked with the sound quality. Good battery life as I've used them about a dozen times and still full.

I really wish I could give these a five star rating. The only reason I don't is due to call quality. At first, the microphone did not pick up very well, but after a couple of resets that was taken care of. The incoming audio cannot be adjusted loud enough. These are extremely comfortable and are great for listening to music while working or performing other tasks. I can't wear standard earbuds, they never seem to fit quite right. These fit extremely nice and ambient noise is not blocked. Music playback is great but not wonderful. If the call volume could be increased, these would be perfect. They are a great all-around alternative to in the ear buds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Bose Ultra open Earbuds in December and I am loving it big time .i can listen to my music and still hear someone speaking to me . It is also very comfortable and had bern wearing it all day .

I bought 2 sets one for my mom and one for myself, both there is an issue with hearing! Numerous people, stated they can't hear me and the volume level is turned up , not to mention trying to hear them as well is horrible , I thought maybe it's just me , but no the other set exact same thing comfort is amazing but what good is that is the audio is trash 🚮, honestly waist of money and for this price I was expecting more, don't wait your money on this , wish I hadn't

I've had these for a few weeks now, and overall, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. These are good for working around the house and working in the garage when there are other people around and you want to be aware of your surroundings. These obviously struggle in high noise situations such as cutting the grass and on an airplane. I did make the unfortunate mistake of using these to travel with.... They were actually great as I was navigating the airport and going through security... Once we got on the airplane they were almost worthless. Even at full volume I could not hear the movie I was watching. I do like the lightweight feature... I often forget that they're even there. It almost feels like everyone around you should be hearing the same music that you are.

One of the best wireless earbuds I've had. I find myself constantly reaching for these. They are so lightweight and comfortable and it makes using them that much more enjoyable no more ears hurting! I also enjoy having the functions on the back of them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
