Awesone

I was blessed by these headphones due to a return for bose Tenor glasses. They have been exceptional , albeit, competition breaches have allowed criminals to block access to me using my excellent earbuds. Please help me shut down the individuals using illegal competition practices and keeping me from enjoying my blessing

Don't live up to quality advertised

I was looking for a pair of noise canceling earbuds and had to go with Bose. I had a pair of bose noise canceling headphones that I was very impressed with. Upon receiving the earbuds, I notice the moice canceling mode did not work. After factory resets, uninstall ingredients the app and cycling the buds on and off multiple times, they still didn't work. I'm mow waiting for a replacement pair to see if they work. To be honest, not impressed with the earbuds. The sound isn't as advertised and disappointed with having to send back the earbuds after having them for only 3 days.

Awesome sound!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had these open earbuds for a couple of months and I couldn’t be happier with them! They are comfortable and the sound is amazing! But anyone thinking about purchasing them should know they are not noise cancelling so use on a plane isn’t possible.

10/10 Recommend

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.

Great Bose Sound Quality, Long Battery Life

I have been using the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds exclusively for around a month now and my first impression was that the sound quality that Bose products are known for is there as always. This is the first time I've seen earbuds like these, where they somehow magically work by utilizing the ear pinna in contrast to being inserted into the ear canal. I suspect this will actually help protect hearing, while still being able to achieve great audio quality. I'm very familiar with Bose products, having used their noise-cancelling headsets (both wireless and wired) as well as their awesome aviation headset. Prior to getting the Ultra Open earbuds, I mostly use a competitors product named after a fruit...;) In any case, I actually think that the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds can fit a separate role outside of noise cancelling style of earbuds. First, if you are wanting to listen to music, podcast or whatever yet still want to actually hear what is going on around you, this is where these shine. It's not like wearing a cheap pair of earbuds that you by default can't hear your music when there is too much external noise though. These you can somehow hear important things (like the wife or kid talking to you), while still hearing your audio with perfect quality. Now while I would not recommend wearing earbuds/headphones while driving, these would be the only ones I'd feel comfortable wearing because I can still hear what's going on in the world outside. I also utilized the earbuds while exercising and doing farm work outside. They didn't fall out/off, though I did have to adjust them from time to time to keep it on the sweet spot of my ear for best audio quality. I would say that they stay on the ear better than the competitor product (named after a fruit). Now if you are trying to actually cancel out external sounds AND hear audio in your earbuds, these aren't really meant for that. I tried using them while working on my tractor and the tractor was simply too loud to hear my audio. Not a big deal though because like I said, these earbuds fulfill more of a role when listening to audio when you NEED to hear things externally. Battery life is seemingly infinite (I realize it's not really but it seems like it) when compared to the competitor product I mentioned. I haven't been able to actually deplete the batteries and have used them non-stop for 4 hours or so. I believe there is a battery saving feature of these earbuds where they seem to "turn on" only when audio is detected vs on at all times. It probably helps the battery too that there isn't any noise-cancelling. This battery saving feature did have one downside in limited circumstances though. When listening to something where audio is also intermittent (ie. Instagram Reels, language learning apps like Duolingo) you will sometimes have a slight delay when the earbuds will sense the audio then "turn on". To get around that you just have to replay whatever audio you are trying to listen to once you can tell the earbuds turned on (you will hear them turn on, though I don't know how to describe it). I kind of suspect that Bose may be able to do some software update to turn that feature off in the future (with the downside of reducing battery life?) but I have no idea if that is something that is possible. All in all, I would recommend the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds over any other competitor of a like product if you don't need the noise cancelling features.

Great earphones, one caveat

Great earphones, I get plenty of compliments too for how discrete they are. I love them because they stay on and have excellent sound quality. Only pet peeve is the microphone, the sound isn’t too good for calls in even in less noisy situations. You can hear your surroundings but your caller will too and they’ll miss every other word. I think the mic is just too far and not too reliable. Otherwise they are perfect. I switch to handset mode when I make or receive a call with these earbuds or use my PowerBeats Pro. The Beats’ microphone is closer to my mouth and picks up less background noise 🤷🏻‍♀️

GREAT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had them for a month now and love them. Was skeptical, having tried another brand of open buds but the sound on these are amazing. Comfort is off chart, you'll forget you have them on. Sandstone color is great!

Overall Impressions of the speakers.

I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and really like them. I had the older version but lost the right side of the speaker in the 2024 Ride London. This new version stays in your ear, it’s more miniaturized and just as powerful. Love it. Sounds great.

So comfortable and great sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the ultra open earbuds for a little over a month and I have to say, I love them! Typical earbuds don't always fit my ears so they would slip out or I would have to maneuver them to stay in which kept me from hearing anything around me, even on low volume. The ultra open earbuds are so comfortable that I forget I even have them on. I don't have to worry about them falling out or hurting and I can still hear everything around me. And the sound is amazing! I love the different sound features these earbuds offer too. Thinking about getting another pair with the new designs. Great product!

Bose Quiet comfort Earbuds

They fit nicely, sounds great although I did experience drop/lag watching movies. Easy to connect to all devices. Sometimes one bud that would not have sound while the other was fine. I had to Pair with TV more often than with Air Pods. Would rather wear Bose for sound and comfort than Air Pods.
