    It is different then over-ears or typical earbuds that fills the ear completely. While you are able to hear you surroundings, you still have the crisp sound. The more you listen to it the more you realize it grows on you because they are super light and you still have the Bose quality! The only downside would be the call quality. While you are receiving a perfect one, others hear your voice less than ideal..

    They work great! I was sure if it was going to cancel out the noise being around the ear the way it is but it sounds like surround sound and cancels out the noise as well!

    Can’t go wrong with the open ear Bose earbuds for sound quality and protecting of your ears not having to insert them in your ear canal. It saves on damage to your inner ear. I suggest you buy this product in the Bose system sounds great so if you’re looking for a pair of earbuds, try those out I recommend it.

    Based on some of the negative reviews posted about the product, I was a little hesitant about my purchase, but I am really glad I bought these earbuds. They have the same- if not better - BOSE sound quality that I am used to. They are awesome while I work out at the gym. Fit securely in my ears regardless if I am doing cardio or just weight lifting. I love the fact that I am still aware of my surroundings while listening to music. Perfect for me!

    Awareness

    The standout feature of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds is the absolute freedom they provide. Unlike traditional buds that "plug" your ears, these sit comfortably on the outer edge. This means I am 100% aware of my surroundings at all times. I can still hear cars, colleagues, or my own footsteps without that muffled "underwater" feeling.

    This is one of the best Bluetooth earbuds I have ever had. If you wear glasses and love listening to your music or on the phone quite a lot with work stuff, I think these earbuds are your best choice. Sounds quality is great. I give it 5stars

    I wprk in an enviroment where i can't always have noise canceling. These earbuds are perfect for awareness. They are incredibly comfortable you will forget they are even on. The only downside is the price. The software for the device is decent and you can have them paired to multiple devices at once, you just can't have dual audio streaming unfortunately.

    I have AirPods but needed something that would still allow me to hear what was going on around me. These allow you to hear your surroundings yet deliver the most amazing sound!!! Bose has done it again! They wrap around the ear easily and you can barely feel them.

    I bought these to try something different. I'm a big AirPod user. Both Pro and Max. These are nice to not have my ears entirely contained or plugged. I was very pleasantly surprised with the sound quality. These are great to use when I'm around my family and still want to be involved with what's going on around us.

    Usually I buy Samsung Galaxy headphones to match with my phone; however, I wanted to try something different. I have to say that these are WONDERFUL. The cuff is weird at first, but you will get use to it.

    A great balance between good sound and comfort. I like the unique clip on style. Once on you barely notice they are there. Because of the open styling, I can listen to music while still hearing everyone around me. You won’t get the absolute best quality sound from these but they strike the right balance between sound, comfort, convenience and unique styling.

    Fabulous sound. Bought these for use while walking outdoors. Great sound no matter how windy and I still can hear what’s going on around me. I will occasionally get confused when using these at home when I’ve been listening a long time. I will think I need to turn off the stereo system then realize it’s off already then realize I have the ear buds on. That’s how good the sound is. I would absolutely buy these again Now for the downside. I’ve had these a couple of weeks now. The software doesn’t auto switch an incoming phone call to the earbuds if you answer using the phone answer button. You have to manually move it. The incoming quality is great. But I am getting complaints from the other side that my voice sounds tinny or words get dropped. If your primary use case is talking on the phone I would not recommend these. Finally on three different occasions I’ve put them on fully charged and let them run until they die. No more than 5 hours each time. If you want them for a longer event such as plane ride or marathon they may run out. I’ve considered buying a second pair so I can swap them when the battery dies because they are that good. I’d rather spend another $300 and have two pair to cover longer listening times than switch to a different brand.

    Bought these as a gift for my daughter and she loves them! We both have little ear canals, so the traditional earbuds are very painful. These are great!
