    I love my ear buds. I have been looking for an ear buds that don’t cover my ears and this is the perfect one. The sounds in music is so clear and strong. I love it!

    I really like the fit of the Bose Open Ear AirPods. They sit comfortably on the ear, and I often forget I’m even wearing them—they’re that lightweight and unobtrusive. The design is secure and doesn’t loosen over time, even with all-day wear. I also appreciate how seamlessly they switch between devices. If you have two phones, for example, they automatically connect to whichever one you’re using without any hassle. However, the biggest drawback is the sound quality in noisy environments. While they perform well in quiet settings, it’s hard to hear anything clearly when there’s a lot of background noise. That’s the tradeoff for having an open-ear design—but something to keep in mind if you plan to use them in louder spaces.

    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!

    Was definitely excited to get my hands on these headphones. Great for work if you are a person that must communicate a lot throughout your day. Only downside I have seen is wearing these in extremely loud environments (gym). Since the earbud does not sit inside your ear and there is no noise cancellation function the earbuds are hard to hear even when turned to full volume.If you are a person that is not worried about noise cancellation these earbuds are for you. I had Apple AirPods Pros (2nd gen) before I purchased these headphones and I do prefer the Bose Ultra Opens especially with the equalizer function to tune your bass, mid, and treble. I know these headphones are brand new but the battery life is amazing.

    I have tried a lot of ear buds without luck and could only wear regular headphones. I wear glasses, have multiple ear piercings and these are awesome. The sound is wonderful and I am so glad I splurged on these.

    We really wanted to like them however they started messing up, they weren't loud enough and I thought they were going to be noise cancelling but are not. It could be good for someone who doesn't care about the noise cancellation and just want them for music.

      Hi DorothyB, thank you for sharing your feedback. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are not noise‑cancelling by design, as they feature an open‑ear style. They are intended for people who want to enjoy music while remaining fully aware of their surroundings. Because of the open design, the sound is not isolated within your ears. If you find the volume lower than expected, you can try adjusting it directly through the connected mobile device. We hope this helps clarify any confusion.

    I must confess I have a problem. I recently upgraded my previous model of Bose QuietComfort Ultra Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, to the newest edition. I was thinking about how much I love them, but I want to be able to hear the outside world. I immediately added these to my cart. I I love them. I was afraid that they might not be secure on my ears. They fit securely, I usually forget I have them on.

    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
