I was skeptical about the quality of the sound of these open earbuds. But BOSE truly invented a game changer here. These open earbuds are amazing! Sound quality is phenomenal for the intent of its design. These are great when I need to be aware of the noise surrounding me. I love them.

I bought these very expensive earphones and because of the shape and size of my ears, they do not get the sound into my ear canal well no matter how much I fiddle with them. What I end up hearing is mids to highs and just a little bass. If I manually turn my ears inward the bass becomes rich and beautiful. They are a great idea but not for everyone. They are very nice but now I’m stuck with earphones that I won’t use much if at all…and I really couldn’t afford them in the first place, so I’m pretty bummed.

I didn’t think OPEN EARBUDS would have such wonderful sound; but owning 5 BOSE products;one o which is the Radio/Cassette/CD player which as you can guess’ we’ve had for MANY YEARS and still use regularly. YES these are WONDERFUL with sound as good as any other earbuds; with the extra of being safer outdoors keeping you also aware of what’s golng on around you.

These are the earbuds I’ve been waiting for! I hate ill-fitting earbuds and have plenty in a drawer somewhere. Sound is excellent and I don’t have to worry able them falling out of my ear. I enjoy them so much that I bought a pair as a gift and another for my travel bag.

I really love the fit of the Bose quite comfort earbuds. Other brands hurt my ears, these do not. Amazing noise cancelling. The only downside is that you have to get used to how sensitive they are to touch. Any slight touch will command them, like turning on and off.

While these buds serve their purpose, they lack the Bose sound I'm used to with the ultra buds. Even my smart sound bar and sub put these to shame. I suppose they have their place in the workout/exercise world, but 90% of us don't workout. They are extremely comfortable - you won't even know you have them on. I gave mine away because I have no use for them, but hopefully they will be enjoyable to the recipient.

These earbuds sound great. I have two pair of the older Quiet Comfort II earbuds and they sound great too. No others come close. And a big thank you for redesigning the case. The older case was so clumsy and I would always drop one or both of the earbuds trying to retrieve them from the case. New case is absolutely fantastic. The people behind the redesign should get a huge pay raise. Thanks for a great product.

Unfortunately, I am having a bad experience with these earbuds; they turned out to be defective, as the volume is far too low. Furthermore, when I filed a claim, I wasn't given the option to choose the same color as my original purchase. What a terrible experience.

Every time I use these ear buds, they lose blue tooth connectivity. Comparatively, my other Bose ear buds (which I purchased a few years ago) run uninterrupted from Bluetooth connectivity. I’d be interested in exchanging the ear buds I purchased for blue Gen 2’s Quiet Comfort earbuds. I’d like Bose Support to contact me to resolve this issue immediately.

I have purchased about 7 of the Ultra Open Earbuds. I am a fan. As a runner and hiker, I like the "open" concept for safety reasons. I have never liked things sticking out of my ears, like the AirPods. The design is a plus, plus. The earbuds have never fallen out while I am running, riding my bike or working out. I do wish 2 things: 1-that you do not have to use both ear buds at the same time. If you use only 1, you cannot close the case; 2 - the sound is better if you can somehow "tighten" the fit.
