    I love the Bose Earbuds. I have the apple ear pods as well,which are also wonderful, but the sound from Bose and the fact that I can still hear cars or people talking while listening is wonderful. The fit is great and the quality is exceptional.

    Great design, but only for Podcasts and Audiobooks

    These are incredibly comfortable — so light you’ll forget you’re wearing them. But unless you're listening to spoken word, don’t bother. They have virtually no frequency range beyond mids, making them perfect for podcasts, audiobooks, and phone calls — and useless for music. They’re overpriced for what they deliver, especially with better options available. That said, I still love them for what they are: great background audio while I’m working around the house. Just know what you're buying — and only grab them on sale. Thanks, Bose, but these should cost half as much.

    I love the blue. They are easy to use, the app has a ton of settings for customizing. Great sound and no fatigue from wearing them.

    These earbuds are so comfortable. I sometimes forget I’m wearing them. I use them as my headset for work as well as personal use. The sound quality is very good. You can still hear what’s going on around you which I really like. I would definitely recommend these.

    i LOVE these earbuds, so much so, i own 4 pair! i keep 2 in my purse so when i get low battery on one and pop them into the case for recharging and i have a another set ready to go. i have them in 4 different colors, so i can match my earbuds to my outfit as well. Recharging is super quick and the battery life is excellent! just wish they had more colors!!!

    Good sound especially for music, comfortable for the ears but too expensive with little control on the earbuds, I can only play and stop the music without volume control or ambient awareness.

    Comfortable earbud from Bose

    This earbuds are my first earbud by Bose and it is as the brand acclaimed. The earbuds are very comfortable to wear and leave room for you to wear glasses at same time without crowding the earlobes. I had tried various earbuds/headphones and frequently have sore ear due to the prolong weight combine with eyewear. This stylish earbud reduce that problem. One con of this style is the increase in volume level necessary vs standard in-ear headset. Overall, satisfied with my purchase.

    I love these so much. I can go for a walk and still hear the traffic trying to get me. Honestly I think the startup sound when you first put them in your ears is my favorite

    Exceptional open sound stage and a MUST HAVE for the biker or runner in your life. You still hear your surroundings which is so critical in biking and running, I really can't emphasize it enough. I will always have a pair. The music quality really doesn't suffer. It's a different sound than an earbud, less bass given the nature of how it sits on your ear, and they're very stable. The mic quality is mid tier at best though, I dont know if beamforming is more difficult, but if you're looking for an in office pair that allow you to hear your surroundings...I wasnt impressed and told frequently that I sounded muffled.

    No doubt these will be compared to in-ear buds which is not accurate. The technology behind these clip-on buds provides great sound and comfort with the ability to also hear what's going on in your surroundings. The sound in no way will be comparable to the Bose or any other in-ear buds. We need to get over that! There is a uniqueness to these that will not be for everyone. Bose also provides the best customer service if a problem exists. Nice addition Bose!

    I was super excited when bose dropped out the new of these new outwear earbuds. Bought it right away.TBH i am not happy with it. Bose outwear neckband 5/5 got discontinued . Sound quality 3 doesn't sound like bose headphones or earbuds. Max volume is not enough. I can hardly listen to songs in crowded places. If ya calling someone they cant hear your voice sometimes you have to goto speaker mode. Tbh i am dissappointed i mean bose products are alway 5 out 5 but not this one and definitely not worth the money at all. Surely these looks different and many people's wpuld gona give it a try. Comfort is 5 out 5 Sound is 2.5 out of 5 .

      Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.

      By design, the open earbuds don’t block out the world or have noise canceling. Your experience will be different from what you are used to with in-ear earbuds that offer noise cancellation. The Ultra Open Earbuds do have an automatic volume control feature, accessible in the Bose Music app, that helps you hear your music evenly as your environment changes from quiet to loud and back.

      If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our support team: https://bose.life/contact

      Best regards,
      Lau - Bose Customer Support bose

    Sound is great. Over the ear design is very comfortable. The biggest issue is the ambient noise can drown the music being played even at full volume and forget phone calls. A car drives by and you can miss what’s being said.

    Recently bought the Bose ultra open ear..just say, they have been a delightful addition to my daily routine! As a music lover and frequent podcast listener, I had high hopes for these earphones, and they certainly did not disappoint. Earbuds are a fantastic investment for anyone seeking high-quality sound, comfort, and convenience. The minor drawback I found was that the touch controls can be a bit sensitive at times, leading to accidental pauses or skips, but it’s a minor quibble in an otherwise stellar product. If you’re in the market for reliable and stylish wireless earphones, I highly recommend giving these a try!

    It's little uncomfortable at first but you get use to it. No sound leaks out and i can hear the audio perfectly. Battery life lasts about 9 hours per earbud. The case battery lasted all week.
