I would recommend this to a friend Bose Ultra Open: Premium Sound, All-Day Comfort
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great for Athletes
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal headphones, especially if you're a fan of outdoors activities where awareness is genuinely helpful, or if you just don't like the way eardrums normal headphones cause!

Great
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these, easy to use and stay on. Gives you good safety awareness while still listening to music. Isn’t the greatest for phone calls, the other person will hear all the background noise in the phone call

Love these earbuds!!!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gotta say, I didn’t buy these for the longest time due to the price. It was worth everything I paid. Finally wanted a set that I culd hear my surroundings if walking, running, etc. Sound is very good. Haven’t tried calls yet, so cannot comment on phone call connection or noise level. Would I buy again, yes, but I would have to save my pennies up first…lol!

Good Sound, questionable fit
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Unique
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good not perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi there, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you like the look and sound of the headphones, that’s great to know. Regarding the fit, we understand that comfort and stability are important. The Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to fit most ear sizes, and you can gently adjust them in your ears to find the most comfortable and secure position.
