Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have not loved the ear pods that insert into my ear. They are uncomfortable after a short period of time and they never truly fit well. These are great - super sound quality and wrap around your outer ear. Love these!

Nice sound and comfortable to wear all day. Battery lasts about as long as they claim.

I waited too long to buy these; I am glad that I finally did. They are open ear, but also can be slid down to use more like traditional ear buds. They sound great and are really light on the ear.

Great quality headphone when listing to music. Sounds great and is not painful to wear. However, calls not so very good. Very difficult to be heard on the other end.

Bought these to replace a pair of Gen 3 AirPods. The AirPods sounded good but they were too big for my ears and didn’t stay in very well. These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are really great. They are super comfortable and have great sound quality. I can legitimately wear them all day. With them being an open ear design the sound quality does suffer a little bit if you push the volume to the max.

I like the comfort and sound (despite the lack of bass) plus the ability to hear others around me, or the environment. My only dislikes are the fiddling to find the "sweet spot" in clipping the earbuds to the ear (it takes some practice) and the inability to hear in a noisy environment. At home, in a store, I can wear these and hear fine. But if you are in a noisy environment (an older model aircraft as I was recently) the buds are pretty useless. I have the Shokz open ear model, and they are good as well but the Bose are so light I forget they are on! I also have the Shokz bone conduction earphones, and they were fine too and better in noisy environments. I may travel with these and the Bose, and use whatever works best.

I bought these Bose Ultra Open-Ear Earbuds last year in the Sunset Iridescent color, and they have completely changed how I listen to music and podcasts daily. If you hate jamming silicon tips into your ears or get ear fatigue from traditional earbuds, these are a total game-changer. ​Design & Color First off, the Sunset Iridescent finish is absolutely stunning. It has a beautiful, premium shift in color that looks more like a sleek piece of jewelry or an ear cuff than a piece of tech. I constantly get compliments on them. The clip-on cuff design is incredibly lightweight; half the time, I completely forget I’m even wearing them. ​Sound Quality & Situational Awareness Bose’s OpenAudio technology is amazing. The sound is rich, crisp, and surprisingly private—people sitting right next to me can't hear my music. Because they leave your ear canal completely open, they are perfect for outdoor runs, walks, or working in an office where you still need to hear your surroundings or talk to people without constantly pausing your audio. ​Battery & Features The battery easily lasts me through a long workday (around 7 hours, or slightly less if using the Immersive Audio spatial feature), and the case charges them up incredibly fast. ​Things to Consider Keep in mind that these do not have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). They are strictly designed to let the outside world in, so they aren't ideal for noisy airplane cabins. Also, the microphone for phone calls is just decent—perfectly fine for quick calls, but not studio-quality. ​Verdict After a full year of ownership, the durability has been top-notch. They are worth every penny for the comfort, awareness, and unique aesthetic alone!

Great sound and very comfortable. Has Great features on the app and fit nicely on my ear sometimes i fall asleep with them on

My daughter loves them she said the sound is great. They it took two days for her pair to die so that was good. She says they’re wonderful. I’m counting on it. They’re pricey, but worth it she said.

They have excellent sound. I listen to my music aloud and I still listen very clear somebody's voice. The charge last for one week. Connectivity, is sometimes lost.

Very comfortable and amazing sound for an open ears device. Excellent connectivity. Not very happy with the battery duration.

These are really cool earbuds. Pros: They are quite different from anything I’ve ever used so it does take some getting used to, but I love how lightweight they are. Con’s: on the other hand, obviously they’re not noise canceling because they’re open, but I didn’t realize how much noise I’d be able to hear so if you’re trying to concentrate on something that makes it a little bit difficult. But what really has me frustrated is when I take the earbud off it doesn’t know that I’ve taken it off so like if I don’t pause my book or don’t stop what I’m doing on my phone the earbud keeps playing. I need something that turns off because I take them on and off a lot. I also don’t like that. It is an automatically switch over to my new device so if I haven’t hooked to my computer and I’m near my computer, I prefer it to hook to my computer or ask if I want to hook to my computer and then when I pick up my phone it should ask if I want to use it on my phone, but it doesn’t. These are great in my opinion for parents who may want to listen to an audiobook, but need to also be present for the children. But for the price, it’s a little much. If you can afford multiple pairs of earphones, I actually recommend these for more casual day for a dog walk I think they’re great for being outside and listening so you can hear cars and you can hear other people and they’re not completely cut off in the world. Unfortunately, they’re not good for concentration.

Great comfortable feel and the sound quality is very good. No complaints about these air buds.

Very comfortable earbuds, with decent sound. I like how they cling to the ear.

I bought them for my mom and she loves them. They’re great for wearing out if you want to listen to music while still being aware of your surroundings. They don’t sit in your ears like traditional earbuds and they are comfortable and compact. The buds sit on the lobe of your ears and don’t fall out or off.

The colo really sells this product I love how they stay on effortlessly and great audio.

I am impressed with these ear buds. I play tennis with them and the immersion sound is fabulous. I can be on the court and still hear players around me or the pro if in a clinic. I have always been a huge apple fan. Have the apple AirPod pro’s and they are great for sound isolation but there is no comparison to the sound if listening to music. I love these in the gym. I can have the immersion sound on not have to listen to the chatter of other members but can hear and speak to anyone that talks directly to me. Best of both worlds. I can run with them on and they are very comfortable. I watch movies in the house on my iPad and can still hear what’s going on around me but have great sound at the same time. The only down side for me is I can not use them for phone calls on a walk outside. Cars going past me drown out the other person speaking to me. If Im walking and just listening to music no problem the cars do not bother me but it’s not possible to have a conversation near a busy road. I will use my apple AirPods for that. They are a little on the expensive side but that can be said of all Bose products. I think they are worth it!

Easy to use, great sound quality and battery life, super comfortable

I’m really happy with this purchase. The sound quality is clear, the fit is comfortable, and they’re easy to use right out of the box. Battery life has been great so far, and they stay in place even when I’m moving around. Definitely worth it and I would recommend them.

Very comfortable to use always. Long battery life ...
