So different but super cool.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are my first experience with an open ended earbud. I’m not gonna lie, I was very confused at how to put these in it first, but thankfully the Bose Music app had a neat little video to show you how to use them. Pairing and setting them up was pretty easy and I had no connectivity issues each time I use them. Something I really like about the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds is the fact that you can still hear everything around you while enjoying your music. It’s almost like walking around with your own soundtrack to your life going on. The Bose music app can help you set up some customized features to make them sound good to your ears. The sound is surprisingly rich and full when you’re in a more controlled setting. If you are out and about in loud areas, you won’t hear the music as well obviously because they are open ended earbuds. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds we’re surprisingly comfortable once I got a proper fit and honestly forgot they were there. I tested them out at work using my hair to cover them and I could still hear everything around me perfectly and safely. I can’t speak to how long they will last but I’ve used them for 3 to 4 hours straight and still had 70% battery left. This being my first pair of open ended earbuds. I was quite surprised at how great they sounded, and I’m really glad to have them in my repertoire of headphones and earbuds. I have honestly really been enjoying using the Bose Ultra Open earbuds.
I would recommend this to a friend Too expensive, quality is lacking.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had these earbuds for 2 months and if you are listening to music they work fine, they do not work well for talking on the phone. I wish I could return but it is too late.

Lightweight & Comfortable. I can hear it all.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To preface this review, if you buy these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds expecting the best sound available, then you are probably going to be a little disappointed. However, these aren't made to have the best sound available. They are made to provide great sound when listening to music, calls, or watching shows/movies and still be able to hear what's going on around you. They exceed at this goal tremendously while still providing very, very good sound. Setup with the Bose app is simple. I had them connected to my phone and was listening to music in a few minutes. Listening to clear and quality sounding music with earbuds on while still being able to carry on a conversation is something I didn't know I needed. It's a pretty spectacular achievement, especially having never tried open concept earbuds and generally having been skeptical of them in the past. I've tried running with them on, laying with them on, and just sitting and listening. In all scenarios I've been extremely impressed with how I can hear everything, the music and sounds around me. These earbuds are so comfortable; by far they are the most comfortable earbuds I own. They are very lightweight and they stay in place no matter what I'm doing. My favorite aspect so far is wearing them in bed. In-ear earbuds get uncomfortable quick with my head on a pillow, but these don't bother me at all. And with the open concept, I am still able to hear if my children are up at night. I cannot express how much these have impressed me in that respect. With the open concept, expect to lose some of the sound quality you are used to with high priced in-ear noise cancelling earbuds. I've noticed that the bass especially doesn't hit as hard. That said, the sound quality is still fantastic. It's clear as can be even while hearing outside noise. I highly recommend these for anyone looking for lightweight, comfortable, high quality, open-ear earbuds.
