Great open ear headphones
The headphones are great I hate wearing in the ear headphones and I can't wear over the ear headphones at my job. I won't lie my ears did hurt for maybe the first few days wearing them until I got used to them but after that they are fine. I have no issues with them staying on. I like how I can turn the volume up and still hear around me. Now if I have the volume to high I won't be able to hear around me. The battery life for using the immersive modes drains pretty quickly. I usually have it off while I'm at work and the battery life lasts maybe about 6 hours. If your case is charged then you can throw them on the charger for like 10-15 mins and get another 5-6 hours at of them so they do charge fast. I also like how they have a physical button to actually press for volume. The sound quality isn't bad. It's better in the still or motion but even off it's not bad. I have had a few issues with connecting to my phone. Every so often I would get static in the headphones but I would just turn them off or put them back on the charger and they would be fine. Like any wireless headphones they have disconnected on me once or twice without saying anything. I can only connect them to one device at a time but I have no problems with switching between them. There is a Bose app you can use to change your preferences and it's pretty simple and easy to use.

Bose ultra
I'll go. I have 15 days with them and I like them too much but the defect is in the calls that people don't listen to you and although it's a free hearing aid in the environment it can help to cancel the voice for the calls , always struggling with the same , so it would be good to have a new update for a voice cancellation I get annoyed to struggle all the time with the calls and unfortunately I have to disconnect from them and they can listen me...

Awesome earbuds for awareness
Let me start off by saying these are not for everyone. These are awesome earbuds depending on your needs. The sound is crisp, the battery life is great, bass is good. How they clip onto your ear is very cool and innovative. I can wear these headphones at work the entire 12 hours comfortably. They are very pricey but worth it to me because I need to be aware of my surroundings and the sound is amazing. I turned on the immersive feature and it’s like you have music playing in your head, I love it. Again, very pricey at $300.00 but what do you expect they are Bose. No noise canceling on these for obvious reasons. If you like to jog outside or want to use them for work these are perfect for you. If you’re looking for perfect sound/bass with noise canceling do not buy these. There are a ton of better options. These are specifically meant for people who want to be aware of outside noises/surroundings. If you have issues with real earbuds falling out or are hurting your ears, these are for you. These earbuds just clip onto your ear with ease. I love the premium feel of the case as well.
