    These are great!! I have little ears and the inner ear buds always fall out of my ear while talking or just walking around cleaning the house. These will stay in place until I remove them, they are very comfortable. One day I forgot I had them in and almost slept in them. They also sound great!!

    I bought these and the Shokz Ear clip. The sound is not there. Im not sure if they were defective but the the Clips from Shokz were louder and better in sound. And when talking on the phone my wife could hear me much better with Shokz. I liked the look of the Bose more and they were a little more comfortable but they were more expensive and not as a great as the Shokz so I returned the Bose.

    I have big ears, and these bad boys stay put! These are the first wireless ear pods I've owned that never fall out, even when I'm running. They're definitely worth the hefty price tag. The sound quality is exactly what you'd expect from Bose—no complaints there.

    Good Open Ear Sound with Bad Microphone Quality

    I liked the way they fit my ears, I could barely notice they were there after a while. The sound quality wasn't too bad for open earbuds. My main problem with them and the reason I returned them was the microphone quality during calls was terrible. I hope it is something they can fix in a firmware update, but none of the updates fixed it during the time I had them.

      Hi Loren, I'm sad to hear you returned the Ultra Open Earbuds, though you did like their fit and their sound performance. If people on calls are complaining about your mic quality, make sure the mic holes on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked. You can also try resetting the earbuds; our customer support team will help with that, and with any other related troubleshooting: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    These fit comfortably around your earlobe. Listeneing to these allows you to remain aware of your surrounding and converse when needed. Don't buy if you plan on making calls (microphone is terrible) or need noise cancellation (can't hear anything on MAX volume when doing anything that involves loud noises).

    These things look weird. I put them in wrong the first time… but moving from the shokz open fit to these has been a big upgrade. This sound great, and are comfortable where I forget they are on. If sound wasn’t coming out I wouldn’t know they were there.

    Get it only if you want to splurge.

    For the price, you'd think it'll have wireless charging and much longer battery life. Sure, the audio quality is top notch. But for an open earbud, I think it's over priced even with the sale. The color blue is nice though. Get this if you want to splurge and are Bose loyalist. But if you're practical, you will want something better-- with more features, and for a lower price point.

    This has got to be one of the best purchases. I have tried multiple kinds of earbuds and none will stay in my ears, always popping out. These set in nicely, are comfortable and sound wonderful. Battery life is enough for what I use them for. Very happy with.

    Where have these earbuds been all my life? I absolutely love the open-ear design—it lets me enjoy videos while still being fully present with my kids. I can shield them from any questionable language without missing a moment with them or my entertainment.
