Worth every penny so far!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had them for about a month and its the BEST sound I've ever had from ear buds and love the fit, don't worry bout them falling out every time I lean over and the sound quality is just amazing ... so in love with them!!

Amazing sound experience, but really bad for calls

Beautiful outstanding sound for music listening but horrible for calls. People can't hear you well. I tried adjusting the direction, changing positions but remains the same. Very bad for calls... If you wanna use them for music listening these area amazing, just dont expect much for phone calls

Great "in-earbuds" that aren't in-ear 🤔

I really prefer in-earbuds to headphones, but even after I got some foam tips for better comfort - my ears still get "swamp ear" and get irritated after long use. I finally decided to see if there was a better solution and stumbled upon these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which seemed like they could be the answer. After about a week or so of using them, I have been pleasantly surprised at how well they perform. They are by far the weirdest pair of earbuds I have ever owned, and I was considering buying the Sony LinkBuds but I was really hoping for something different like bone conduction rather than in the ear (which seem to be my main problem). I also was hoping that I'd be able to wear them for longer than my in-ear pair, which definitely is the case. Comparatively I'd have to take my in-ears out every so often to clean my ears as with these the only issue is my ear tends to get a tad irritated after long-use but it also could just be my ears getting used to something being there, hard to say right now until I've had them for longer but I just adjust them slightly up or down when I feel discomfort. I actually got these as my "gaming" earbuds, which after turning off "Immersion Mode" and using "Stereo Mode" I feel it's best unless you're listening to music it's just too bassy for regular stuff in my humble opinion (still sounds great, YMMV). Battery life has been a lot better than my other pair of earbuds which would die after ~4-6 hours, so far the lowest I've gotten these have been around 40%. I'm also not too sure how fast they charge, since they live on my desk and I charge them overnight but when I first charged them it took about half hour to fully charge from ~60%. It's a bit difficult to figure out what the optimal spot is for these earbuds to perform their best, I believe for me at least when they're at their lowest on/in your ear it seems to be the best. I'll randomly check that they're evenly pushed into my ears and not falling out from time to time, but generally they're pretty snug fit that don't move much once on. As far as "noise cancellation" or "passive hearing" goes, they do a pretty good job at blocking out sound when turned up I generally have mine around 60% at that's loud enough for me - I can still hear around me, if need be which I like not having to take off my earbuds in between sessions to multitask. There was a recent firmware update that adds auto-volume, which increases the volume in louder environments which is kind of "noise cancellation" in its simplest form. You're also able to control the earbuds pretty well with just the button on either earbud, play, pause, skip track, reverse track, toggle immersive mode or you can customize the shortcut which is nice. I have left as cycle thru still/motion/off immersion, and right as toggle immersion but there's also "switch devices" and "access your voice assistant" as options. I look forward to future updates and possibly v2 of this product if it performs well, a great niche product for an oversaturated market. I would recommend trying these out if you're at all interested, the price is a bit hard to swallow but they may become your favorite pair of earbuds 🫠

Static and Audio Issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not sure if this is normal, but I keep hearing static and the audio going in and out when I use these to listen to videos on my computer or iPhone. I've never had this issue with other Bluetooth earbuds. Extremely disappointing issue for the price.

My New Go To Sound Deliverer!

First, the color is beautiful. Second, the sound that comes from them are amazing. When I am on the elliptical working out I get some of the best sounds without hearing the equipment. It also allows me to hear things I want to hear which may be important. Third, the battery life has been amazing, and I don't have to worry about them dying in two to three days. Lastly, I don't have anything stuck in my ear which again is an amazing feature. I don't have to worry about popping my ears due to the pressure.

These are amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these when they were on sale for the holidays. I was looking for something that had great sound and were open ear, which would allow me to hear the world around me while riding my scooter or watching tv at night. These checked all of my boxes in sound, weight, fit, and situational awareness.

No pain and great sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had these for a couple weeks and they were just what I needed. Due to my multiple ear piercings regular in ear buds are difficult to use in painful over her period of time. I had tried the type of headphones that send the music waves through your bones, but I didn't like how that felt or sounded. This directional Speaker sounds really good even though it's not right in my ear. And I can wear them for long periods of time without any pain. I wish the battery life was a little bit longer. Since I have online classes that combiner about five hours and I have had instances where my battery starts to run low before class ends, but that is rare. overall I'm happy with this. I got the blue ones and I kind of wish I picked a more fun color because they do feel like an accessory I can wear for style purposes. But since I bought these at a store and they were limited with their inventory, I only could choose between black white and blue. If I bought them online, I would've had more color choices.

Honest review…

I bought this like 2 weeks ago, and I’ve used nothing but these earbuds to truly get the full experience. Price is definitely too high for the quality of the case, as it feels like cheap plastic for the way it moves when it’s closed, almost like it’s gonna break. The volume is definitely good, and the audio quality delivers… if there’s no EMFs!!! Because it seems a walk on the streets is the worse you can do with these on, lots of static and sudden disconnects while walking to work!! specially when there’s a lot of traffic (this NEVER happened with my AirPods Pro gen 1&2).

love the open ears concept!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my walks and love the open ears concept so I can still pay attention to my surrounding. Comfortable enough and I feel they are pretty secure on my ears. My only wish is that the music would auto stop when I take it off.
