[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have issues with both sleeping and wearing earbuds or headphones. I bought these because of Bose’s history of making quality devices and because of the Ultra Open earbud design. I LOVE them! When I wear them at night, I alternate ears, wearing one all night long. I can’t even feel them! The sound just seems to magically come from nowhere. They are helping make it easier for me to sleep better.

Even owning AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, I couldn't resist the allure of Bose QuietComfort earbuds. Their music and bass quality is simply stunning, and the noise cancellation is truly world-class. When immersed in my favorite tunes, it's like I'm in a private concert, with only the music and Bose's signature bass filling my ears.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought that these earbuds one month ago and I cannot believe how good they are in every aspect. They are small, light, comfortable, incredibly sound quality without loosing the ability to be aware of your surroundings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the new Bose open ear headphones and they are great. They feel so light weight on your ear and sometimes I forget I’m even wearing them! I love having spacial awareness while I’m wearing them.

My wife has super sensitive ears and doesn’t like having the earplug headphones pushed inside the ear canal. These are the answers to anyone who has similar ear issues with headphones. She has small ears and does aggressive work, and they stayed in for all of the 9 hours that she has them on. When I call her they sound clear when she speaks to me and she hears me well. She also likes that they aren’t noise canceling because she feels safer hearing her surroundings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using these for a month. When I first bought them I was a little disappointed with the sound. I used the app and updated the firmware and wow. These sound great with full awareness of my surroundings. I use these primarily when I am out walking my dog or driving in my classic car. The are fantastic not only for music, also for directions and calls. Comfortable as I have worn them multiple hours and never felt any discomfort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the fact that they hold to my ears a lot more securely. Especially for working out. Sound quality is okay but not as loud as I like to listen to. It’s good and bad that they pick up background noise depending on the usage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the Ultra Open Earbuds! Super light and they deliver the quality you expect from a Bose product. Seem durable and charge quickly. I use them during my workout as well as during work hours. The ability to have music and still hear everything around me is what I have been looking for! Highly recommend.

I bought these open ear earbuds as there are times I can't keep regular earbuds in my ears but for a very short time. I also have times my ears wax up continually. While you do not get the noise cancellation or the best sound you do get very good sound and you may likely forget you have these on. The comfort level is beyond belief and they stay in place. I view these as a compliment to the ultra earbuds and or headphones - you want and need both! I got the lunar blue and they are great looking.

I have a lot of activities that require hearing protection. 1: I farm, so I use these earbuds to protect my hearing from tractors, bushogs, bailers and other implements. I do listen to music while farming and these sound great because cancelling the unwanted noise allows the music to be heard. 2: I also ride a motorcycle. I use these under my helmet to cancel out the wind noise. The loudest wind noise at highway speeds tend to crackle at the peaks. This is not the most ideal use for them and could use some enhancements in this area. I do realise they may not be designed for this use which has particular challenges which is understandable. 3: I recently used them at a gun range. They worked very well for the weapons I was firing. I did use a suppressor on the firearms that limited the report to about 115 decibels. The earbuds worked perfectly. Not sure how they would work for unsuppressed firing. 4: I am an indrustrial electrician by trade and work in a noisy environment. These earbuds drowned out all the background noise of machinery and conveyors so I can perform my duties without the harmful effects on my ears. And they work great. I have other bose buds and it seems the noise cancelling has been better with each product iteration. These seem to be even better. They do have a lot of control options and I find myself having to repeat actions to get what I want to happen. Maybe just me. I don't consider it a draw back though. Overall I really like these buds and think they will be received well by the adventurous user as well as the audiophile.
