    I think the sound quality is great. My only complaint is when I am at the gym, I can’t even hear what is coming through the earbuds. I know they are open buds but I didn’t realize just how much background noise I would hear.

    These fit comfortably around your earlobe. Listeneing to these allows you to remain aware of your surrounding and converse when needed. Don't buy if you plan on making calls (microphone is terrible) or need noise cancellation (can't hear anything on MAX volume when doing anything that involves loud noises).

    I got these earbuds for my daughter on her birthday but regrettably she asked me to return them. I am a big fan of the Bose name but in spite of the sound quality she claimed they were too heavy on her ears and uncomfortable.

    Love these. The sound is great. I don't like having everything else blocked out with earbuds but these are the only pair I've tried where I don't feel I've sacrificed sound quality.

    After struggling with Apple AirPods constantly falling out, I switched to Bose earbuds and haven't looked back. The secure fit and comfort are a game-changer for me. One of my favorite features is the seamless device switching between my phone and computer – super convenient! While they don't have noise canceling, it's not a deal-breaker for my needs. An adjustable loop around the ear would be a nice improvement, but overall, I'm extremely happy with them. On the downside they're a bit pricey, but I'd definitely be looking out for a sale!

    It depends on the shape of your ear how they fit. The volume for me is not loud enough. When I attempt to adjust the earbuds, they go back how they were and my volume goes back down. They might work better for others, but not as well for me.

    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.

    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.

    I used to religiously buy AirPods, and they used to religiously fail me, to the point I was done with them… concept of open earbuds was new to me, and I wasn’t sure I would like them, but it turned out, I truly LOVE them! Not to mention Bose incredible sound system!!! Highly recommend them!

    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.

      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 bose

    Great sound which is expected from this brand. Unfortunately, using the app isn't an improvement on sound quality. Two stars because at this price point you'd expect an overall decent experience BUT the phone call quality is waaay below acceptable. JLABs at least inclue 2 Mic ENC on their epic open sports for less than half the price. I WOULD NOT recommend these to anyone expecting to make phone calls with them. Which these days, I'm sure almost anyone is expecting to take or make calls. Bose price point remains high but dont improve quality.

      Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re really glad to hear that you’re enjoying the sound quality of the Ultra Open Earbuds, but we’re truly sorry that the calling experience and app performance haven’t met your expectations.

      The phone call quality should absolutely feel reliable and clear, and we understand how important that is for everyday use. This isn’t the experience we want for our customers, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
