Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Sound better than expected. They do squeeze my ear a little bit and slightly uncomfortable, but goes away after after a few minutes. The physical button on each earbud works as expected and easy to use. Used them at work, and laying down watching tv and no issues with them falling out or moving. Biggest difficulty I have experienced is putting both earbuds on and positioning them the same way, such that the speaker is the same direction and distance from my ear canal, which I did notice made a significant difference on how loud they are and how balanced the volume is between both earbuds.

It looks great and very light on the ears. I would recommend this product .

I was looking for open ear headphones among different brands and this convinced me at the end and I’m not disappointed with my buy. They really are very comfortable that sometimes I even don’t feel them. Audio quality is awesome compared to other similar brands and you can customize it! Some People complain about max audio level but I’m not, these are OPEN EAR so they are not meant to sound very load so you can continue hearing your surroundings. I’m more than happy with my buy!

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!

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.

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!

Very comfortable but not as loud as I expected when I’m out on a walk. The occasional lag when I’m a call. In a quite space, sound is clear and great quality

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.

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

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G The quality on these earbuds that do not even seal your ear canal is very impressive. You can be aware of your surroundings while still being able to listen to whatever you need. The microphone is very good as well for phone calls. The best part for me is the comfortability. I can forget I have them on. I have never been able to sleep with earbuds and I was very happy I was able to do so with these. I tried the Sony’s earbuds and they felt very cheap compared to the Bose. I do not regret spending my money on these at all.

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.

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

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

I absolutely love these. My only complaint is when making phone calls it's muffled and not very high in volume. But music sounds amazing in these. I only wish that I could buy a case protective case for it in town nobody has any. But I would recommend these and they're so comfortable to wear.

I bought these when I worked in a cafe to be able to listen to things and also interact with customers. They worked like a charm. Super comfortable and you stay aware of your surroundings.

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

I love these headphones a lot; they stay in place on my ears. The only con about them is that they can start to feel sore in your ears, but I have no issues at all. I have used them on video calls on Zoom for work, and they work great, and I can be heard clearly on my laptop.

Good for someone who isn’t super serious about sound quality. Sounds stuffy in phone calls and there is a crackling sound that occurs occasionally. I like these headphones because I can wear them in bed with no issues and can hear my surroundings. They also don’t fall out no matter what.

Excellence Design and Quality! I’m happy using this Great earbuds
