[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got his about a month ago. I get asked on how the function of open earbuds works often when I am wearing it. I tell them the sound is very clean and crisp like a regular Bose speaker and I love the noise canceling sound feature. I also enjoy the style of how it sits on inside and on back of my ears. It’s soft and comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had these buds for bout a month. For the most part, I like them for the comfort and sound is OK. The bass could be better, volume could be a bit higher, and the mic for the phone definitely needs some noise canceling. As a truck driver, I am unable to use the phone unless in a dead silence room, I can hear the other end but they can't hear me.

Almost perfect. Fit/security: 10 out of 10 All day comfort: 10 out of 10 Sound: 10 out of 10 Style: 10 out of 10 But the one most frustrating thing about these earbuds is the microphone. I have to use my phone anytime I have a call because the bud's microphone is beyond terrible. It feels foolish to have my phone to my ear with earbuds in, but they are completely useless for audio. Truly unfortunate because other than that these are perfect. I hope they fix it in future generations. I almost sent them back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these because I like to listen to music when I'm outside but never did because I feel didn't feel safe not being able to hear what was going around me. But now I can listen to music when I am out and about because of these earbuds.

Beautiful color and it is amazing from the standpoint of allowing me to stay in tune with my environment. My only issue is when I take calls. The person on the other end never hears me and I always have to take the headphones off. It is very annoying when I out and about. I hope Bose goes and fixes this especially after paying so much

Had an opportunity to use these buds for over a month now. This is a unique concept, in having an earbud that does not fit into the ear but rests outside of the ear canal. This allows for pass-through of natural sound while playing music/taking phone calls. This is the best "open-ear" earbud on the market. The sound quality is what you'd expect from a Bose product. The sound is "loud;" you don't have to position the bud closer to the ear canal to get a good, clean, crisp sound. The physical buttons make operation much easier and eliminates accidental touches. The flexible ear hook allows for easy on-off of the buds, and you don't have to worry about the bud falling off. The negative: Call quality is not good. Many callers state that it sounds muffled and underwated-like. While I rarely use these for phone calls, I found it difficult to have conversations because of this drawback. This is the perfect option for someone looking to buy earbuds but hates placing them in the ear. There is nothing else on the market that matches these.

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 already owned the Quiet Comfort Ultra earbuds, but I read a lot of reviews about Ultra Open Earbuds which said they were more comfortable. So, I bought them as well. I love the Quiet Comfort Ultras, the Open Earbuds, not so much. Yes, the sound is great, and it's great that I can hear what is going on around me. So, for those aspects, I give them a 5 out of 5. However, I find them difficult to put on unless I am looking in a mirror, and I don't think they are as comfortable as the Quiet Comfort Ultra. In fact, I find them a little annoying. So for those two aspects, I would give them a two. Therefore, averaging the two grades together, I come up with a 2 and 1/2. So, I'll round it up to a three. As for the Quiet Comfort Ultra, I give them a 5..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall happy with purchase. Product does has limitations. I was looking for comfortable buds to wear in gym...extremely comfortable. Don't even know they're on at times. Music quality is there. Highest volume is not loud, but allows you to hear your surroundings at same time. I'm certain they fit everyone a bit differently cuz no one has same ears, so volume expectation may differ per each user. Product sits outside ear canal so ear fatigue is never an issue but it does cause volume to be minimized. Gym, bike riding and any occasion you need to be aware of surroundings are all met with satisfaction. Buds allow room for safety in different environmental settings. Biggest negative is using them on phone calls...this product is just not for that purpose, so be aware if that's your main priority...it won't suffice.
