Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had to start off with the fact that I absolutely love these Bose earbuds and am sure you will too! Audio The audio is great. It's on level with what you would expect from a Bose product. Initially, I thought there were concerns with the sound volume and then I discovered I was wearing them incorrectly. I laughed to myself and happily heard the sound much better once I actually put them on properly. The sound is great. What I also love is that backwards, they weren't as audible which tells me that others aren't able to eavesdrop on my conversations which is reassuring. Style/Fit I wasn't sure how well I would love the design, but I don't like things hanging on top of my ear. When I wear glasses, the over the ear type of headset interferes with my glasses or vice versa. That isn't an issue with these. Another thing I love is that the fit doesn't cover my earrings. I have other headsets that sit on my ears and cover my earrings, which is sometimes uncomfortable. This fit is just perfect. They are also incredibly discrete so at a glance you may not even realize that I have earbuds on. My airpods are white so it's very apparent when I'm using them. I much prefer these being black because they easily disappear in my brown hair compared to airpods. Connection The earbuds connect seamlessly. I use these at work which work computers can sometimes be a challenge on connecting to various devices, but the connection with these Bose earbuds is seamless. It's easy to identify and use them. I also use them with my personal computer and the experience there was also seamless. Easy is awesome. Easy to operate and a great battery life. Hours of life before needing to charge and they charge relatively quickly and are ready for the next round of listening. My absolute favorite feature is just the style and fit. I have never owned another pair of earbuds that have this design. It really sets Bose apart with what they deliver in the design and feel of this product. I love it! I use a variety of different products for my audio needs between working from home and at the office and this set is my new favorite!

I have been looking for something like this for the last five years. I am a mechanic and I needed a headphone that didn’t plug my ears so I could still stay safe and hear what is going on around me. I also spend a lot of my time in the engine compartment of speed boats most of which I am dangling upside down. My head light and my safety glasses will fall right off my head in this position but these Bose headphones stay right where I want them no matter what I do. They don’t plug my ears so I’m still fully able to hear what is going on around me and they are so light I can forget I’m even wearing them. Other heavier headphones would give me headaches if worn too long but I can wear these all day without even noticing. I was originally nervous that either people could hear everything I was listening to or the sound quality would be bad because it wasn’t in my ear canal but these were of no issue as the sound quality is amazing and unless the volume is at the top range people around me reported that they couldn’t hear or didn’t notice any sound coming from my cuffs. I’ve placed one phone call with these headphones and I could hear the other person perfectly but they did report that I sounded weird in their end but hey I didn’t expect it to be the best at everything nor did I buy it for phone calls

Good concept for open air earbuds but due to the new concept, it lacks the sound quality that Bose is known for. I was disappointed in their performance.

First off I want to say as someone with bad ear fatigue and swollen ears from any earbuds that go in-ear this is legit the best thing to ever happen to me!! Now let me tell you why. First off sound quality, the sound quality is phenomenal but its not just ordinary sound. The sound is so hard to explain its like a movie theater is constantly following you around everywhere you go. Because its open and not inside your ear I feel like the sound is more natural and feels like you can touch the sound rather it being locked up in your head. I could go on all day long about the sound but lets talk about the comfort. As someone who can only use headphones because earbuds are so uncomfortable these really change the game. If you put these on right it fits perfectly and does not fall out. Ive worn these today for a total of 8 hours and a lot of the times I totally forgot they were even in. I tested them walking around the store doing some chores and even laying around and it didnt cause any problems. They are very lightweight so you dont have to worry about it weighing your ears down or falling down. Some more perks that are very nice to have are all the modes they offer I wont list them but the bose app offers different sound settings to choose from to enhance your experience. For the mic/phonecalls I don’t really know but I also don’t care. I give these a 5 star because of sound and comfort. I truly can’t explain how balanced and comfortable these earbuds are. Buy them and you will see :)

These Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are my first experience with an open ended earbud. I’m not gonna lie, I was very confused at how to put these in it first, but thankfully the Bose Music app had a neat little video to show you how to use them. Pairing and setting them up was pretty easy and I had no connectivity issues each time I use them. Something I really like about the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds is the fact that you can still hear everything around you while enjoying your music. It’s almost like walking around with your own soundtrack to your life going on. The Bose music app can help you set up some customized features to make them sound good to your ears. The sound is surprisingly rich and full when you’re in a more controlled setting. If you are out and about in loud areas, you won’t hear the music as well obviously because they are open ended earbuds. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds we’re surprisingly comfortable once I got a proper fit and honestly forgot they were there. I tested them out at work using my hair to cover them and I could still hear everything around me perfectly and safely. I can’t speak to how long they will last but I’ve used them for 3 to 4 hours straight and still had 70% battery left. This being my first pair of open ended earbuds. I was quite surprised at how great they sounded, and I’m really glad to have them in my repertoire of headphones and earbuds. I have honestly really been enjoying using the Bose Ultra Open earbuds.

Excellent. Title: The Perfect Fit: A Review of My Ultra-Comfortable Earbuds I recently stumbled upon the most comfortable pair of earbuds I've ever had the pleasure of owning, and I can't help but sing their praises. From the moment I slipped them in, it felt like a match made in heaven. First and foremost, these earbuds are unbelievably light. So much so, that I often forget I'm even wearing them. It's become a habit to check if they're still nestled in my ears, only to be pleasantly surprised every time by their barely-there presence. I've affectionately dubbed them my "ear cuff" because they effortlessly complement all my outfits, whether I'm dressed up for a formal occasion or keeping it casual. One of the most remarkable features of these earbuds is their ability to banish fatigue. Gone are the days of sore ears after hours of use. These gems provide such a comfortable fit that I can wear them for extended periods without the slightest discomfort. But comfort isn't the only thing these earbuds excel at. Their secure fit means I can confidently jog and even run without fear of them slipping out. It's like they were custom-made for my ears, staying put no matter how much I move. Overall, I have to give these earbuds a solid five out of five score. They've exceeded all my expectations and have been worth every penny. If you're in the market for earbuds that prioritize comfort without sacrificing performance, look no further. These are the ones you've been searching for.

Can barley hear out of them. Couple Months there already cracking.

The latest and greatest from Bose in earbuds. They sit on the outside of your ear rather than inside allowing you to listen to music, podcasts etc. and never have to stop having conversation with those around you. I work in IT in a corporate environment and these are great for staying connected and being available to provide support all day. Battery life is fantastic 8 hours on standard play mode, 4 hrs on immersive and the charging case gets you another 19 hrs of play time. You might be concerned about comfort but despite clipping on your outer ear these are so comfortable you will forget you are wearing them throughout the day. These are custom made for a particular user who wants to listen to music but be available to chat or listen to their surroundings all day. If you are looking for the best in ANC these are not the earbuds for you. Couple things the case is not wireless charging enabled and a since they don't go in the ear there is no real adjusting the earbuds they just clip on and sit. With the app you can do the usual amount of customization, firmware updates, edit what the buttons do. The buttons are mechanical push buttons not touch sensors which feels satisfying to push. If you are the user these were intended for you won't find any more comfortable earbuds to get through your day and listen to music while staying engaged in water cooler talk.

Noise cancellation is not true . If you are in a loud or noisy area the sound or phone call can not be heard

not at all good don't buy no noise cancellation will hear outside noise more

Was intrigued by the design choice by these Bose headphones. Ordered right away and picked up a few minutes later using Best Buy locker. Very small box revealed a smaller charging case with the headphones. Putting them in the first time is a little strange but once you get the fit correct after a few minites it feels more natural. Sound is instantly awesome. Love that they don’t squish the inner ear like regular sound isolating headphones. Definitely worth a purchase if youre a bose fan. Very happy with this purchase.

Don’t snug the ear enough. Sound is very soft and distant I returned right away

Don’t waste your money!! Sound quality was the terrible and not comfortable on my ears. You have been warned!

Wasn't have good connection whit android special on call

Poor fitting Worst sound quality not use very expensive

Love the innovation however the execution of this is very bad

I run outdoors a lot and I like to be aware of my surroundings because there are a lot of bikers and cars passing by and you never know what might happen. I learned my lesson when I had a close call with a car that lost control and I couldn't hear the honking with my noise cancelling ear buds (that would always wiggle out of my ear canal eventually). My left ear has a weird ear canal where most earbuds will rattle out eventually, which left me to utilize the ear hook style headphones when running. The only issue with the ear hook style is that they still shift more than I would like. The ear clip design of the Ultra Opens are a very new design that solves my specific problem. I can hear my surroundings and they don't wiggle around. In addition the sound quality is much better than my ear hook style earbuds. Now, I am not saying the Ultra open earbuds will be a bass head's first choice because without a proper seal you will not be getting any significant bass. For those that want to be aware of their surroundings and want earbuds designed for runners and bikers that want to be aware of their surroundings, then these are the earbuds you've been looking for. The one feature I wish these earbuds had is wireless charging. I think Bose really missed an opportunity by not having wireless charging.

Microphone is horrible, noise canceling is does not work.

Not what i expected not comfortable for my ears and sound its not good quality

Horrible product doesn’t stay in ears never said that in the instructions nor bose app
