I’ve had these a couple of months. Very comfortable, easy to forget you’re wearing them. Great using them for meetings or talking to people while staying aware of your surroundings and being able to listen and respond to people around you. Sometimes they’re not loud enough on conference calls while I’m listening and driving but overall they do what I need. Music sounds good but doesn’t compare to buds that seal your ear.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought this item over three times from the beginning they were out I was in love with them, and once my wife borrowed it she fell in love with them and I never got it back. I bought the second one and my son snatched it and I had to buy another one that shows how great this piece it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since 1980 I've been a Bose fan. Purchasing the Bose 901s for my home stereo system while I was in the USAF stationed in Bentwaters/Woodbridge USAFE UK. Later my daughter gave me Bose headphones, and after that I purchased a Bose sound bar for my flat screen tv. When Bose released the new ear buds I had to have them and purchased a pair for my wife as well! Her response was "the best thing I didn't know I'd love" which I knew would happen.

After a few weeks these are definitely my favorite earbuds ever. East to wear, stay on easily and the audio is great. I will say that of you want the Bose "audio" these are not it. Get the real earbuds or headphones. These are for walking around our the weight room.

I have had a had time with headphones, buds, plugs, etc. I can't keep them in my ears for too long. I really enjoyed Samsung's Bud Pro (Live) when they were available, because they were not entering the ear. But Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are what appear to be a natural evolution in the tech! I love it. I don't have to take them off if someone is talking to me, I don't have fatigue of them in my ears (can have them on all day and wouldn't even notice) and the sound is good. The sound quality might not be on par with other products but what this tech does, its a market on its own! The sound quality is great - don't get me wrong but at higher volumes it does decrease a bit of quality. But this product is GAME CHANGING.

Let me start by saying, I'm a fan of Bose products and have had everything from multiple generations of headphones, soundbar, home theater, standalone all-in-one, and even two pairs of glasses. I know Bose to produce quality stuff and was excited to try these. I purchased on day one and there are some good and bad things. First the good - they fit great and exactly what I need. I hate things in my ear and the comfort of these is perfect. They also don't move or slip at all... a great physical design. They also have good sound quality that I can hear well but of course because they are open, ambient noise can impact listening. That said, the sound quality is what I'd expect from Bose. In addition, there are nice features like multi-device paring (which came through in an update) and also the ability to do cool things with audio perception as you move around. These are my favorite ear buds by far. However, there is one bad and it's a big one - the call quality. Everyone says they can't understand me with these things... it doesn't matter if it's a standard call or an online meeting, they all say it's pretty bad and ask me to stop using them (which is embarrassing for sure). It's so bad that I end up having to carry around a second set of ear buds for when I want to do a call. I've used both Airpods and Meta Ray-Ban glasses and people say I sound fine with those... so something about the microphone on these is not up to par. All said, I am happy with my purchase overall as the majority of my use is for listening to music or podcasts while walking. I like being able to still hear what's going on around me and never have a problem with the fit, sweat or anything else you'd experince with in-ear earbuds. I am hoping they can fix the microphone in an update or perhaps a future generation. If you don't plan on using these extensively for call, I'd highly recommend them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Quiet Comforts replaced another brand of earbuds that kept falling out of my ears. The QC's with the little wings stay in place. So, the QC's fit better, feel better and sound better. My only gripes are not with the earbuds, but with the phone app. The app tells you the charge level of the earbuds, but not the charging/carry case. It would also be nice to be able to make more than one custom EQ setting.

Big fan of these. I’ve been using Shokz for a few years. The open fit was ok….but the battery life was short and finding the function tap spot was annoying. Not surprised they upgraded that to a button. The Bose has slightly less sound quality but this is due to the orientation of the speaker compared to the Open Fit. The Bose battery is far better. The immersive sound is way cool. The way they wear is top of class. The fit is super comfy and they hold firm. The Bose seems to incur more signal interference…but not enough to be a bother. Overall, I love them. Can’t wait to see how they improve!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these ear buds about a month ago and I am so relieved that I don’t have to shove ear buds into my earrings anymore! My ears can breathe while I am listening to music and talking on the phone. Now this is a comfortable earbud.
