I appreciate the subtle design of the headphones. Sound quality is what I have come to expect from the Bose brand and the headphones feel comfortable even during extended use. The microphone does leave something to be desired. I've tried with multiple devices and the consistent comment I receive during phone calls is that to the listener it sounds as if I'm speaking away from the phone. I generally avoid using the headphones if I'm taking a phone call which limits usability.

I bought this product a couple of weeks ago. I would give it 4 stars for design, 3 stars for listening to music quality & 0 stars for phone capability. Bose has a reputation for great sound quality. However, the phone quality is worse with the sound quality for both the user & the person who one is talking with. It’s worsen than sounding like one is in a trash can with a roaring crowd all trying to talk at once. It’s certainly not worth the $250 price tag.

These earbuds are fantastic for what they are. They are not noise canceling but you definitely have no problem hearing the full scope of the sound while still being aware of your surroundings. These would be ideal for you if you are out on a walk, at the gym, on a plane, etc. The immersion mode is amazing as it completely keeps the sound directly in front of you, so you definitely get a consistent amazing sound. The design of these are excellent for people who don't or can't wear earbuds inserted in your ear, as they sit outside the canal but still give you amazing sound. They are lightweight, easily slide up and down on the back of your ear so you can adjust the way you hear your sounds. Once placed in your perfect spot, they do not move at all. You will not have to worry about them falling off, they definitely won't! They are so comfortable and lightweight that you might forget you even have them on! The battery lasts a long time and quickly charges when needed. As someone who struggles wearing regular style earbuds, I highly recommend getting these! You won't be disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought 2 sets of these. Not because one stopped working but because my son quit his Airpods and took over on my first set. We both can be found using ours at anytime throughout the day because they are incredibly comfortable and it's easy to continue necessary social interactions while wearing these. Best earbuds I've used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these an about 45 days ago to use as my primary Bluetooth headset for work but they quickly became my go to for both work and working out. Being able to be fully aware of my surroundings during both work from home meetings and during long runs has proven to be invaluable. The sound quality was beyond what I was expecting. Part of my daily run route is along a busy road and I expected traffic noise to impede my ability to hear what was playing through my ultra open but I was surprised when I could hear podcasts and music just as clearly as in ear ear buds. I’ve since recommended them to my brother, my mom and my best friend, all who have purchased and also have rave reviews.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a month ago and have loved them. The balance of being able to hear your surroundings while still being able to hear your music is great. I always struggled with hearing others if my headphones were in even if they were off and now that problem is gone.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago I am happy with the appearance, style, lightness, color of the earbuds. The features that I am not happy about are the level of loudness and the noise cancelling. It is not loud enough like my quiet comfort and other Bose earbuds I had in the past. I only buy Bose headsets and speakers, but the Ultra Noise is my least favorite. I can hear the noise around when I have it on in the gym. A lot of noises on the end of the caller, according to them it was very sensitive, and they could hear all the noises around. I hate to return it as it is very comfortable and stays especially when I am running. I am thinking of returning this.

Had for a few weeks now and my biggest issue is they don’t have good sound quality on phone calls. Sounds like I’m in a big hall or room. Sounds like I’m off in the distance. Doesn’t matter how much I turn up the volume. Music sound or listening to TV or computer is good. Better than my Powerbeats in that regard. Only reason for 4 stars in durability is because I don’t yet know how these are going to hold up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By farrrrr the best ear buds I have ever worn. They are will worth the price. They are so comfortable that I forget I am wearing them. No more falling out of my ears.(I'm old and my ears are bigger and have lost alot of elasticity, like an old rubber band. The Bose earbuds hang in there. Also can hear people and cars approaching me. Of course, great Bose sound. Will they last? I have 2 sets of Bose 901 speakers bought 1971 and still sound great. Enough said, they are great,great, one will never regret buying them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the sand color and the open ear so I can hear my surroundings. I don’t like something in my ear canal, it gets irritating. Sound is excellent, I like the app with the equalizer to adjust the sound the way I like.
