    Bose Ultra Open: Premium Sound, All-Day Comfort

    The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in White Smoke are a total game-changer. The clip-on design is so comfortable you’ll genuinely forget you’re wearing them, and the "White Smoke" finish looks more like a sleek accessory than tech gear. The sound is surprisingly rich for an open-ear design, and the spatial audio makes it feel like the music is floating around you. They are perfect for staying aware of your surroundings while enjoying premium sound.

    Expensive, but worth it. Great sound quality even though it’s open ear and these buds stay secured even during work outs and are very comfortable. These are excellent when it’s important to hear ambient sound while listening to music and they are also very innovative in styling and get noticed a lot.

    They work great! I was sure if it was going to cancel out the noise being around the ear the way it is but it sounds like surround sound and cancels out the noise as well!

    Use them for the gym, fit perfect, quick and easy setup, nice audio quality, and good grip to the ear. Not recommended for air travel.

    I have big ears, and these bad boys stay put! These are the first wireless ear pods I've owned that never fall out, even when I'm running. They're definitely worth the hefty price tag. The sound quality is exactly what you'd expect from Bose—no complaints there.

    In all honesty i wasnt sure what to expect with these headphones, sound is great gets lound enough where you can drown out other people and just jam works great for working as i never have to take them off and i can still have a conversation. Also no one knows they are earbuds they just assume they are earings

    [Employee of bestbuy] I really like that i can wear these for hours and have no discomfort. They sound great and they’re perfect for when you are not trying to block any noise and yet still be able to listen to something without bothering others.

    These can take a little bit to get use to. I do find the to be very comfortable now . The sound quality is good and excellent battery life. Very easy to connect to your phone or tablet. I also found out they have a pretty good range for connectivity from your device before break up starts

    Awareness

    The standout feature of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds is the absolute freedom they provide. Unlike traditional buds that "plug" your ears, these sit comfortably on the outer edge. This means I am 100% aware of my surroundings at all times. I can still hear cars, colleagues, or my own footsteps without that muffled "underwater" feeling.

    These things look weird. I put them in wrong the first time… but moving from the shokz open fit to these has been a big upgrade. This sound great, and are comfortable where I forget they are on. If sound wasn’t coming out I wouldn’t know they were there.

    This has got to be one of the best purchases. I have tried multiple kinds of earbuds and none will stay in my ears, always popping out. These set in nicely, are comfortable and sound wonderful. Battery life is enough for what I use them for. Very happy with.

    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.

      Posted .

      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.

    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!

    These are great because I am aware of my surroundings and I don’t feel like I’m in a vacuum. I mainly got them for when I’m walking my dogs but they are becoming my “go to” earbuds. They may look a little strange at first but they are really comfortable and they sound really good! Highly recommended!
