[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these while on a business trip. They are very comfortable, don't hurt my ears, and the sound is awesome. I don't like noise canceling earbuds so these let just enough outside noise in, that I still know what's going on around me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these earbuds over a month ago and couldn’t be happier! In fact, this is the second pair I purchased because I loved the color and use them in multiple locations! The sound is amazing and the fit is perfect since I don’t like anything inside my ears. I look forward to using them everyday! Plus the battery life is great!

Awesome sound, but wish it was a bit brighter and stronger at higher volumes, which is needed for running. If I sit still in a quiet room it is quite nice. When I need at higher volumes, the EQ seems to change to a lesser brilliance & power. I'm still not sure. The thing I like best as a runner is no stomping sounds in the ear buds! So annoying! So, this aspect is great. But! I live great audio too. One running review said the Comfort version provides both stellar audio & no stomping feedback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband bought the Sandstone color as a gift for me. I am absolutely in love with them. I have a child with a heightened sensory system and me listening to music is a trigger for her. Regular in ear earbuds are noise cancelling so I can't hear what's going on around me but the Ultra open earbuds allow me to hear what's going on around me and I can still have my music. For me, this is a game changer! I get the best of both worlds! These are 'Ultra' easy to use and the sound quality is incredible! Fast forward a few months, my other college age daughter used them while she was home on break and loved them for the same reason. She said these would be great to wear in the lounge areas because she can hear what's going on around her without getting too distracted. She also said that they would be great when she is walking on campus at night for that peace of mind of knowing what's going on around her. Needless to say, we bought her the Chilled Lilac for her birthday!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my earbud for Christmas and I've been using it every day. I use it at work all day long and I use it when I go for my walk and rollerblading. Now I'm looking at one of the Bose headphone for meditation and traveling I need a quiet surround sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can never get earbuds to fit comfortably in my ears but I don't want big headphones on my head either. I have a pair of bone conductions that have been ok for me but they don't have the best sound. I have watched these come out with great interest and they do not disappoint! They have great Bose sound and are super comfortable! I would have done 5 stars but I had a bit of a time getting them sitting right for my ears. But it's getting easier and once they are on I literally forget they are there. You won't regret the purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Changed from over ear to clip on ear. Amazing sound while still being able to hear external voices and sound. Hard to hear on an airplane as they are not noise cancelling but all other scenarios have been great so far.

Why I got these headphones: I work in a lab, occasionally work out and walk outside. I do not like having anything in or completely over my ears for that long Pros: Great balanced audio in immersion, can be worn without blocking out the world. Very comfortable and can be worn for a while Cons: Hard to know how to position them right off the bat but once you find a place that works for you, they are great. My optimal position for audio overlapped with an earring I have but thankfully it is healed enough that it can handle the slight pressure. Great use cases (in my opinion): work tasks, running outside, playing ambient calm sounds for stress, most music Less great use case: Playing (really) loud music or audio for when you need to block out the world or your own thoughts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with my new Bose ear buds. They're very comfortable to wear and easy to put on. Stay in my ear and also allows me to hear external conversations. I haven't really used most of the features other than turning on and off which is smooth and unnoticeable to others. My right ear bud does not stay charged as long as my left and it's only for about 6-7 hours at best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received as a Christmas gift. Absolutely love them. They are so much more comfortable than the traditional Bose ear buds that I have had for 3 years. It is also good to be able to be aware of your surroundings with this set.
