[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these for my birthday and spent the rest of the day listening to music. I love the open fit because they don’t hurt my ears after listening for a while or get wax on them like in-ear headphones. The sound quality is impressive for an open fit and I really appreciate being able to hear what’s going on around me while still enjoying music.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so good! Being open earbuds you would think that the sound would not be that good, but boy is it great! I have owned other types of open earbuds and these sound better by far! They are extremely comfortable and I wear these all day long. You can barely tell they are there. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a great pair of open earbuds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these because I have really small ear canals and have yet to find a comfy and functional ear bud that doesn't hurt my ears. While I'm still getting used to the open-ear and ear cuff design, so far I really like these! The sound is great and they are so light on my ears with no discomfort. So far I haven't noticed any slippage on runs. My only complaint is that they aren't as easy to pop on your ears as an ear bud, which I can do one-handed and on the fly.

Love that they stay in place no matter what I am doing. I feel confident wearing them when I mow or bike whereas with my Quiet Comfort earbuds I was always afraid to wear them outside as they occasionally popped out of my ear. The sound quality is maybe a little tiny bit less than the Quiet Comfort earbuds but that makes sense as they do fit into your ear canal. Overall an excellent product that I am glad I purchased.

These are amazing earbuds! They sound phenomenal and still able to talks to people, of course you may have to turn them down a bit first. The only reason I did t give them 5 stars is because I’ve only had them a few months and am already having trouble with the right earbud not charging properly because of the connector in the case. For the price of these there should be an issue with them for a long time.

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.

I bought these for my trip to the beaches of San Diego. The idea of an open ear headphone to enjoy the seascape while having music playing drew me in. I also have trouble with other headphones because they tend to fall out of my ear. I am throughly pleased with these headphones! They are comfortable, stay on my ears and provide the experience I was looking for. I hope they improve the calling capabilities, and being I love loud music I wish they were slightly louder at times , they do exactly what I need them to. Would recommend giving them a shot

Bought these ear buds so i could run and still be able to hear my surroundings. They have exceeded all my expectations! The sound is incredible, and they are so comfortable you will forget you even have them on. It is like the music is just playing in your head. I cannot say this enough, the sound is awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the Bose Open Earbuds for about a month now, and I’m really happy with them. They’re super comfortable, plus I can wear them for hours without any discomfort, which is quite surprising because of its design, but it works. The fit is quite good and was pleasantly surprised that it stays on my ear when moving around, and even when sleeping. The sound quality is also better than I expected. Even though they’re open-ear, there’s a good amount of bass and everything sounds nice and clear. They’re not going to give you that full, immersive sound like in-ear buds, so if that’s what you’re looking for, just keep that in mind. But for me, they deliver exactly what I wanted. No issues so far. Everything works smoothly, and I honestly love using them.

I received these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds as a gift and I am impressed! The open ear concept is game changing and innovative! Sound quality is extremely important to me and these do not disappoint. The Immersive setting literally reminds me of surround sound system sitting in your ears. These earbuds are lightweight and did not cause me any pain especially after wearing them many hours each day. The unique design hold on to your ears without any problem. I have a very active lifestyle which includes running, mountain biking and cardio workouts and was skeptical about these holding up and not falling out unexpectedly. Once you put these in your ears and find the right spot, they don’t move! The only time one fell out is when I came home and my dog excitedly licked my face and ears and knocked one out. There is no On/Off button on these. Once you put them in, they are technically “On” all the time. If your phone isn’t being used, they go into a standby mode until something happens (phone call, text message, email notification or any other type of notification) and then like magic, they are on and ready to work. The Ultra Open Earbuds have an amazing battery life on their own and have lasted me a full day of use (talking on the phone, streaming music and movies) without needing a charge in the middle of the day. When I go to bed, I drop them in the charging case and repeat the process again the next day. I’ve gone for 5 days without the need to recharge the case. Again, these are an open ear design and allow you to be consciously aware of your surroundings. This is important especially if you are out in the public listening to music or talking to someone on the phone you can still hear what’s happening around you. I may have attended several company meetings while wearing these and still listening to my music and nobody around me could hear the music playing even when the volume was actually quite high…. During several phone calls I was sitting next to a colleague and he could not hear the caller I was talking to. I turned the volume all the way up and he leaned into me to see if he could hear the conversation and could only hear minor noise; not necessarily hearing and actual words. This is important to me since I spend 8-9 hours a day on the phone. I can still hear me colleagues talking to me while I’m on the phone. I am not new, nor am I an amature to Bose Products. I have their original Bose BT2 Bluetooth headset, a really old pair of QC-3s (about 14 years old that my daughter is still using), QC-35 headphones (8 years old), the Headphones 700 I bought myself for Christmas, the Soundbar 500 and Soundbar 700 (with surround speakers and bass module), and several Bluetooth speakers. EVERYTHING still works as good as it did when it was brand new. With that being said, these do not disappoint and are truly amazing earbuds & hold up to the Bose name, quality and cosmetically aesthetic designs!
