[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Bose Ultra Open Earbuds as a gift about 2 months ago. And I'm in LOVE! Let me start by saying I have owned many other “brand name” headphones and I won't go back. They are so light weight that I wear them all day and the battery out lasts my use. They DON'T move! This is a big deal if you want to do just about anything wearing headphones. The open design gives the experience of being surrounded by sound without being cut off from the world. The ability to customize the sound experience adds the perfect touch for work, home, or play. My only regret is waiting to get them as a gift.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a refurbished pair about a month ago before traveling abroad. They take a minute to get used to but are very comfortable for long-time wear and allow you to stay attuned to the environment around you. I find that often only one headphone will connect and I have to reset the other one by putting it back in the case and taking it out which is annoying for a product at this price point (even refurbished). I don't have a great sense yet about how much other people can hear what I'm listening to so I'm always aware of that and, until I can get some feedback/testing in with people I know, I find that a bit of a detractor. I've also tried to take calls with them and always have to switch to my phone because of complaints about my audio. So these headphones are great for a very specific purpose—comfortable long-term wear when you don't want to appear “plugged in” and remain aware of the environment around us. They do not match performance for taking calls, noise cancellation, or peak audio quality and that's because that's not how they're designed. They won't be my main headphones, but I will use them often for those very specific purposes.

Pleased with the quality of the Bose sound from the open ear style. I used them during various lines of work and they were a snug fit, with no trouble of them falling out. I had to get adjusted to the partial noise cancelation as I've always had a pair of Bose QCs. Also the find my buds feature on these would be a plus being I'm always on the go or doing Active work.

Everything is great, except my unit broke down 1 month after purchased. The left earbud won't be able to charge and stop working completely while the right one still functioning properly. Anyway I am happy with the sound quality and its features. So, I contacted the service center for replacement ^^

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Changed from over ear to clip on ear. Amazing sound while still being able to hear external voices and sound. Hard to hear on an airplane as they are not noise cancelling but all other scenarios have been great so far.

I love that I can wear this and my ears don't hurt. I forget sometimes that I'm wearing one. Love the color too. Only thing that doesn't make it 5 stars is when one is supposed to be in the case it's supposed to be fully charged but for some reason it'll say that's it's same low battery with the one I've been wearing for that time so I don't know if that is just what mine or that's it faulty part of the device but I don't understand why it does that

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hey, I got these two months ago. They're amazing! You can listen to your favorite music and still be aware of your surroundings. They're so comfy, it's like wearing earrings. Totally recommend them. 👌

I bought this about3 weeks ago. I was surprised at the simplicity the controls that is on the apps. but the sound blew me off on open ear, but not so surprise because I trust bose product ,any time of day I got 2 different speakers& now this new headset.

Bought these a few weeks ago for work. Absolutely love them. I'm a line cook so being able to have music in my ears and still hear my coworkers is the best thing! For someone with ADHD that's the best thing to keep me focused. Would definitely buy again and recommend!

For open ear buds I have to say it's the best money can buy right now. I tried at least 4 other pair of high end open ear buds and they didnt come close to the Bose Ultra Open Ear buds. These are extremely comfortable the sound is great. Some people complain you dont get noise cancelling, well they are open ear buds thats not possible, if you want noise cancelling then get in ear earbuds dont knock open ear buds for not having it. The sound wont be intense on the open ear buds as it is with in ear ear buds but again REMEMBER they are open ear ear buds so set your expectations and use common sense for how they are designed. Decide what you prefer with ear buds then choose the in ear or open ear ear buds based on what your looking for. Personally for me I have both in ear and the open ear ear buds and use them base on my surrounding and how Im using them. But so far I seem to be using the open ear about 85% of the time. They are so much more comfortable and when Im in certain places I want to be able to hear around me which is most of the time. For me the Bose Ultra Open Ear buds hit the mark perfectly for me, yeah they are expensive but for what it gives me the price doesnt bother me. I rather pay $300 for quality open ear buds like the Bose rather than throw away $175 for crapping open ear buds that I have tried.
