    These ear buds have been fantastic. They can be worn for my entire work day without any discomfort.

    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.

    These were extremely comfortable, but it was very difficult to hear what was playing unless the surrounding was quiet. I had hope since other bose products purchased have worked well. Though these were so light I sometimes forgot they were on my ear, it did not make up for the poor sound quality.

    I picked up a pair of Bose earbuds expecting premium performance across the board, especially at this price point. When it comes to listening to music, they’re actually pretty solid. The sound quality is clean, balanced, and what you’d expect from Bose. Bass isn’t overwhelming, mids are clear, and overall it’s an enjoyable listening experience. That said, the biggest issue, and honestly a deal breaker for me, is the call quality. While I can hear the other person perfectly fine, the microphone performance is extremely poor. Multiple people have told me I sound distant, muffled, or like I’m in a tunnel. In some cases, they could barely hear me at all. This happens consistently, not just in noisy environments but even in quiet settings. For a product in this price range, that’s unacceptable. If you’re only buying these for music, they’ll do the job. But if you plan to take calls, attend meetings, or use them for anything beyond listening, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

    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

    Finally a set of earbuds that don’t fall off! I was skeptical at first, but they actually stay on! The only problems I have with them are that they did not work well on the airplane when there was a lot of ambient noise, and my ears start to hurt after a while from the pressure of wearing them sort of like wearing clip-on earrings. But if I only wear them for short periods of time I don’t have discomfort.

    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!
