    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.

    I have had a pair for a while. Purchased my 13 yr old son so he can hear his surroundings while shooting hoops or walking to school. Comfortable.

    Nice in work environments that are below the recommended 85 db allowances more than that I wouldn’t recommend them the sound is nice you can feel clips after awhile, great battery life I listen to them for 3 12 hour shifts without charging case, app should make update to include battery charge level for case, I like that you can listen to music and be aware of your environment

    Shockingly Good Open-Ear Sound, But Major Micropho

    The audio quality on these Bose Ultra Open earbuds is superb for an open-ear design. Music sounds full and detailed, with clear vocals and a pleasantly spacious, natural soundstage that feels more like listening to small speakers than typical earbuds. Bluetooth interoperability has been mixed in my experience. They pair and perform well with a modern Android phone using a Qualcomm chipset, with stable connections and no major glitches. However, performance with a Windows laptop using an Intel Bluetooth chipset has been less than stellar, with occasional connection quirks and a generally less reliable experience. The dealbreaker for me is the microphone quality, which is truly awful. Whether connected to my Android phone or my Windows laptop, people on the other end of calls and Zoom meetings frequently complain that my voice sounds extremely faint and often cuts out entirely. Other non-Bose earbuds and headphones do not cause these issues on the same devices, so it appears specific to the Ultra Open earbuds. The mic pickup was so bad that I actually exchanged my first pair, thinking they were defective, but the replacement unit has identical problems. On the comfort front, these are reasonably comfortable and light, and I can wear them for extended periods. That said, they are not as comfortable as other clip-style earbuds I’ve used, and after a while I do notice some pressure on my ears. If you want outstanding open-ear sound and mainly listen to music or podcasts, these can be fantastic. But if you need reliable microphone performance for calls or meetings, I cannot recommend them.

    Strangely addictive. Takes 5-10 minutes to get used to them on your ears, but after that they virtually disappear. Sound is very good, and I love being able to hear normally. Much more comfortable than Airbuds, etc.

    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.

      To help improve your call performance, please check out this quick guide:

    It is pricy, if the price was more reasonable, would have been much better, yet quality of sound, the comfort to use it (you do not have to worry about them coming off your ears) is a plus. The colors to choose from very limited.I picked black .

    Surprisingly great at hearing simultaneous outside and what you want to hear at the same time. Wasn't sure what to make of these until I decided to stop reading the reviews and make a decision for myself. After purchasing a pair I'm very pleased with these. In ear buds are great but if you have to hear other people or noises around you at the same time can of course cut of the outside noises. These new Open ear buds give you the perfect balance of hearing both at the same time. I would highly recommend getting a pair for yourself and see how great these are. A game changer.

    I love these except the fact they hurt my ears like crazy. I was honestly looking for a pair of headphones to sleep in since I have awful insomnia and a certain playlist helps and I cant wear these for more than maybe an hour before my ears start to ache. Maybe its because I have fresh piercings but I thought this would be better for that since they wouldnt sit too close to them unlike my sony ear buds. These hurt enough that I might try the huawei ones. Not sure but unfortunately these are going back. They look nice but man they dont feel good at all. I have small ears too. The sound is not bad at all for open ears. I dudnt lovr it at first but it is good for open ears. Sound usually isnt the priority for this style anyway

      Hi there - I'm sorry to hear the Ultra Open Earbuds are hurting you, although you do like their look and audio performance. Please note that these earbuds are not specifically designed for sleep purposes. However, it's usually fine to use the Ultra Open Earbuds during everyday use if you have piercings; if your piercings touch the earbuds, that’s okay as long as the earbuds remain comfortable and secure. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose
