    Like adding a soundtrack to your daily life

    I absolutely love these earbuds! If you’re looking for something that will add a soundtrack to your daily life, this is it. You’ll still be able to hear everything around you while enjoying your favorite tunes. Perfect for hiking, biking, walking, onewheel, shopping, and just going through your daily activities. If you’re looking for something with noise canceling, this is not a product you should be looking at as it’s the complete opposite. My only complaints are the microphone is completely awful, in fact it’s unacceptably awful. Also, the charging case isn’t able to be charged wirelessly without a $49 additional purchase of a case protector to go over top. At this price point it should’ve come with a wireless charging case and a way better microphone.

    Love them! Barely feel them on, in fact, I forget half the time that I'm even wearing them. Sound/bass is amazing for the fact that its not "inside" your ear and that I don't have to take them out to hear what's going on around me or the person I'm talking to. very gentle on my ear and stays on while running or exercising. very happy.

    I got these about 2 weeks back, and I went back to the store to return them 3 times because they were hurting my ears. Every time I went back, I would try different brands and just end up keeping them. Some won’t stay on your ears, others won’t sound as good. So I ended up keeping them and I am so glad that I did! I think they were just new, so they had to loosen up a little, because after using them for a while I can’t even feel them on my ears anymore. I am extremely happy and so glad that I kept them! Wonderful sound, great quality, and will never come off my ears when I run!!!

    These earphone are good looking and comfortable. For music is good. However, when you talk on the phone, the sound quality is poor. You sound like your far away or under water. After giving it 2 chances, I decided to not get another pair. I thought the first ones were defective, but the second pair were the same. Also, I often had difficulties connecting the to my phone or they would disconnect.

    Ever since i purchased these bose ultra open air earbuds they have been everything i was looking for in a pair of daily driver earbuds and more, i want looking for anything noise canceling because I have kids and also my job for working in a steel mill i need to be very aware of my surroundings, but at the same time i need to stay connected to my phone because my company uses Microsoft teams to chat and message with so these make everything convenient for me because i Wear a hardhat and safety glasses and these do not get in the way of either piece of equipment i Wear and are very very comfortable for all day and night use, the volume on these are loud enough and the call quality is good enough, we'll done Bose.

    These headphones are useful full full day use they are like having ambient music around you. If you are looking for something that will allow you to listen to things while partaking in your dayly takss i recommend. But this is not a purchase for audiophiles.

    Unique execution

    The types of ways you can listen to audio is vast & many. Headphones, earbuds, & open ear buds all have a common goal: deliver audio. Everything else is a bonus that works or a flawed feature that needs a bit more time in the oven. Overall I am impressed with the execution of these open earbuds. I feel, after reading a few reviews, it’s being compared unfairly to tws earbuds that sit in your ear canal. Owning Bose Tenors, Sony LinkBuds, Shokz OpenRun Pro, & Shokz OpenFit; these Ultra Open Earbuds perform exceptionally. The way each company comes up with designs for their models never ceases to amaze me. It’s unique. These are secure once worn properly; shaking my head or jogging can did nothing to jar it loose. Sounds are just like my Ultra Earbuds & Ultra Headphones. Definitely Bose signature sound. The immersion mode somehow works in this open style. The app works seamlessly to tweak the EQ to your liking. Price is a talking point in what your expectations are for these style of earbuds; there are other options. If they go on sale, like the other Ultra options, give this a chance.

    They feel comfortable and have excellent sound quality. They wrap securely around your ear without being too tight. You might need to adjust them every now and then to get the perfect angle into your ear canal.

    I really love these pods... I have at least 9 pods & these are the only ones that feel very very comfortable. Sometimes I forget they in my ear. They don't hurt with my ear rings on, very light, easy to put on, and sound is great... I am a very happy customer...

    These were a gift for my daughter, and she absolutely loves them. She has small ears and has always had issues with fit with traditional earbuds, but these fit her without discomfort. Excellent sound quality, great aesthetics, and open ear makes for a fabulous listening experience.

    Great open ear headphones

    The headphones are great I hate wearing in the ear headphones and I can't wear over the ear headphones at my job. I won't lie my ears did hurt for maybe the first few days wearing them until I got used to them but after that they are fine. I have no issues with them staying on. I like how I can turn the volume up and still hear around me. Now if I have the volume to high I won't be able to hear around me. The battery life for using the immersive modes drains pretty quickly. I usually have it off while I'm at work and the battery life lasts maybe about 6 hours. If your case is charged then you can throw them on the charger for like 10-15 mins and get another 5-6 hours at of them so they do charge fast. I also like how they have a physical button to actually press for volume. The sound quality isn't bad. It's better in the still or motion but even off it's not bad. I have had a few issues with connecting to my phone. Every so often I would get static in the headphones but I would just turn them off or put them back on the charger and they would be fine. Like any wireless headphones they have disconnected on me once or twice without saying anything. I can only connect them to one device at a time but I have no problems with switching between them. There is a Bose app you can use to change your preferences and it's pretty simple and easy to use.

    These have amazing sound without the noise canceling option. I use these when I want to be aware of my surroundings but still get the great quality sound that Bose is known for. They fit comfortably on my ears and the battery lasts at least 10 hours.
