Good for indoor areas only.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality, good sound quality, but it won't serve you in outdoor environments with noise. Battery lasts very well.
I would recommend this to a friend OK not great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So so sound. Takes getting used to fit. My ears have never allowed comfort with any bud only head phones. Thought I'd try these. Guess I'm gonna have to invest in some Bose over the ear headphones.

Great fit and Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect fit for all Sports. Great sound quality as Bose is known for. My problem is when riding bike volume struggle to keep up with the wind noise plus when answering a call I can’t hear them and they can’t hear me.

Posted .Hi Victor, I'm glad you like the fit and sound of your Ultra Open Earbuds! Due to the buds' open-ear design, an excessive amount of wind noise can indeed make it hard for you to hear your audio content. As for the more serious problem of not being able to take calls, make sure your earbuds are using their latest firmware; version 4.0.22 was released last year to improve the customer's experience on calls. If that doesn't help, and if our support team can be of any further assistance to you, then please don't hesitate to reach out: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Amazing Sound and comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i bought these for my wife for Christmas and she LOVES them. She has been using them for about 4 months now and raves about how comfortable they are to wear. She cannot stand the earbuds that push into your ears and didn't want to go with an over the ear headset, so she found these on the best buy website and put it on her Christmas list... they were spendy BUT, worth every penny. They are amazing

Unique
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microphone is horrible - if i attempt to have a conversation with someone, i can count on the person saying, i sound distant or i sound like im in a tunnel. But regarding playing music or media, i love everything about that experience. They are lightweight and easily usable for hours, unlike any other earbud or headphones ive ever used. The sound quality is not the best, but not a deal breaker. For casual listening, perfect.

Good Sound, questionable fit
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these because standard in ear headphones do not fit in my ears (keep falling out). I looked at these and thought I finally found some headphones that were actually made for me. The first day with little use, I thought they were great. Very good sound. Once I wore them to work and started just doing little stuff like moving around from point A to point B and minor shuffling around, I found that the top part that rests on the ear just sort of pops out and kind of hangs there. I kept pushing them back in, but there really isn't anything holding them in so eventually I spent a lot of time pushing them back in my ear all day long. Love the idea of it, but not for me. Plus I wasn't confident that the rubber part that "bends" to the ear would stay that way for very long. Anyway, I returned mine after a week of use. Sound was good, fit was for me. NOTE: I spent a lot of time researching the different ways to fit them on my ear, and no matter where they went the top part would loosen up and pop-out past my ear eventually.

Small ear problem
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, Immersive Audio Open Ear Earbuds, Clip on Earbuds for Comfort, Running Earbuds with OpenAudio for Awareness, Up to 48 Hours of Battery Life. Love them!! I have tried so many other earbuds, other companies, but nothing worked. Bose ultra open earbuds work perfectly, hardly can remember sometimes that they are on my ears. My ear canals are extremely small, it was very hard to find a product that would work for me, Bose did it. Finally I can go for walk or do any activities and be able to listen music!
