    Not worth sacrificing volume and quality

    Unfortunately this purchase has been real disappointing. The headphones fit great and are super light weight... However, the quality in sound is rough. The sound is hollow and even after adjusting all the settings the volume was never close to enough. I need an option thats not inear but, sound level sacrifice is just not worth it. Hope it works for someone else, this is not practical enough for me.

    I wprk in an enviroment where i can't always have noise canceling. These earbuds are perfect for awareness. They are incredibly comfortable you will forget they are even on. The only downside is the price. The software for the device is decent and you can have them paired to multiple devices at once, you just can't have dual audio streaming unfortunately.

    For the price, you'd think it'll have wireless charging and much longer battery life. Sure, the audio quality is top notch. But for an open earbud, I think it's over priced even with the sale. The color blue is nice though. Get this if you want to splurge and are Bose loyalist. But if you're practical, you will want something better-- with more features, and for a lower price point.

    An Upgrade

    Definitely an upgrade to other competitors. It is an investment considering the price, but the sound quality and battery life is just different. These last way longer than 3 hours. I will say that these are anatomy dependent to the ear and can cause irritation if you're doing long runs (like me) or longer workouts. If sound quality is what you are looking for than this is it for you!

    The best earphones out there. I bought these because my Apple AirPods would fall out of my ears or get really sweaty and dirty. These will stay on for entire workout, even while I run. Because they are looped on the outside of the ear they do not get dirty with sweat build up. Love that the volume is powerful yet you can still be aware of your surroundings.

    Definitely love the concept of these buds and works great with my type of lifestyle, however my issue would be connectivity. Once in a while my buds will have an issue connecting to my phone or will go out of sync with one another. Also, when speaking on the phone the person you are talking to has a hard time hearing, you’ll have to raise your voice in order for the other party to hear you. Other than that they’re great.

    Can’t go wrong with the open ear Bose earbuds for sound quality and protecting of your ears not having to insert them in your ear canal. It saves on damage to your inner ear. I suggest you buy this product in the Bose system sounds great so if you’re looking for a pair of earbuds, try those out I recommend it.

    Amazing design. Earlobes needed to use.

    Great set and very useful. Best part of these is you can listen to tunes and still hear everything around you while cliped to ears. But if you dont want to hear anyone you can hook them to your earlobe to hold them in the ear canal like regular ear buds. Super useful for work. Only problem if you do not have earlobs there is nothing for them to hold onto and the only way to listen to them is hooked to the outer ear so you can hear them and everyone else around you at the same time. People next to you can not hear the music playing. Perfect to pass the time at work etc. Can be used to make and receive calls.

    Really good sound quality and perfect for walking around and being aware of your surroundings. Not good for the subway you can’t hear anything and there’s no noise cancelling.

      Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We’re really glad to hear that you’re enjoying the sound quality of your Ultra Open Earbuds and that the open‑ear design works well for staying aware of your surroundings while walking. That’s exactly what the earbuds were designed for.

      We also appreciate your note about using them on the subway. Since the Ultra Open Earbuds don’t include noise cancelling and are engineered to keep external sounds audible, loud environments like subways can make it difficult to hear your content clearly. Your feedback is valuable, and it helps others understand what these earbuds are best suited for.

      Thank you again for sharing your experience, we truly appreciate it.

    I bought these to try something different. I'm a big AirPod user. Both Pro and Max. These are nice to not have my ears entirely contained or plugged. I was very pleasantly surprised with the sound quality. These are great to use when I'm around my family and still want to be involved with what's going on around us.

    I must confess I have a problem. I recently upgraded my previous model of Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, to the newest edition. I was thinking about how much I love them, but I want to be able to hear the outside world. I immediately added these to my cart. I I love them. I was afraid that they might not be secure on my ears. They fit securely, I usually forget I have them on.

    Was definitely excited to get my hands on these headphones. Great for work if you are a person that must communicate a lot throughout your day. Only downside I have seen is wearing these in extremely loud environments (gym). Since the earbud does not sit inside your ear and there is no noise cancellation function the earbuds are hard to hear even when turned to full volume.If you are a person that is not worried about noise cancellation these earbuds are for you. I had Apple AirPods Pros (2nd gen) before I purchased these headphones and I do prefer the Bose Ultra Opens especially with the equalizer function to tune your bass, mid, and treble. I know these headphones are brand new but the battery life is amazing.
