    So so sound. Takes getting used to fit. My ears have never allowed comfort with any bud only head phones. Thought I'd try these. Guess I'm gonna have to invest in some Bose over the ear headphones.

    Great headphones I used for running! They were only drowned out in a loud boxing gym, which was a bummer because I got them for boxing. But every other place, they were good in sound and quality.

    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

    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

    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.

    Whenever I use the EarPods for the radio, music, or while watching TV, the sound quality is amazing. But when I use them for phone calls, the person on the other end can’t hear me well and sometimes not at all. It’s a shame that I still need to return these because I need something that works in unison with phone calls.

    For those wondering about volume, these can get loud. In the Bose app, there's a separate volume control you can turn up. I have the S24 Ultra, and the Bose app volume control doesn't sync with the phones volume control. Didn't realize this for the first couple of days. I wear glasses, so these are great for not interfering with them. Job allows one earbud at a time or open ears that don't cover the canal.

    They are comfortable but I have connectivity issues often. Also experiecing static and one or the other continues to disconnect often for no apparent reason. Or, sometimes they neither of connect at all. Takes 2-3 tries before I can get a connection. Poor product overall but they look nice. Lol

    These are good but could be better. There are better sounding open headsets, but the fit and comfort balance it out. The cost is kore than other open sets soninwas expecting better sound quailty compared to the lesser rivals.
