    I purchased these as a gift for my dad and he loved them. He previously had AirPods. He loves how comfortable they sit on the ear without adding any pressure. The sound quality is amazing and he likes how you can still hear what’s around you while listening to music. The battery life last a good time and charging them is quick and easy. Overall he was extremely satisfied with them!

    So far so good. The color is a little odd but manageable (they were on sale in this color way). Lightweight and comfortable (especially for smaller ears). Decent battery life. A good compliment to winter running with wool hat where Shokz OpenRun's won't work.

    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 Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in Desert Gold for my wife, and honestly, they turned out to be an awesome gift. The first thing that stands out is the look. The gold finish is really clean and elegant—it doesn’t even feel like typical tech. They look more like an accessory or piece of jewelry than earbuds, which she really liked. The clip-on design is also unique and stylish, and they stand out in a good way compared to standard earbuds. Sound-wise, they’re impressive—especially for open-ear earbuds. The audio feels full and immersive, and the spatial sound really adds depth to music. Even though they don’t block out the outside world, the sound still comes through clearly and feels premium. Bose’s open design lets you stay aware of your surroundings while still getting rich, private audio, which is a big plus for everyday use. She also mentioned how comfortable they are—lightweight enough to wear for long periods without any discomfort. Overall, this felt like a great purchase. Between the standout design and surprisingly strong sound quality, they feel premium and different from anything else out there. Definitely worth it if you want something that looks as good as it sounds.

    For open ear buds, these have fantastic sound. Decent bass if you crank it up in the Bose Music app. Fits well for my ears. I took a star off for the price, and no wireless charging. No excuse for a $300 pair of buds.

    Perfect for me but maybe not everyone

    Man, I have a lot to say about these headphones after having and using them for a few months. I have a medical issue called Trigeminal Neuralgia and it makes most headphones, over and in ear, impossible to wear. These do not touch my face at all so they are perfect and I can wear them without it causing the nerves in my face to go absolutely haywire. If you struggle to find comfortable headphones because of something like Trigeminal Neuralgia or TMJ I can't stress how absolutely perfect these are to not irritate those conditions any more in my personal opinion. The sound quality is good and I love that they connect to two devices at once so I don't have to switch connection back and forth between my phone and PC. They don't play sound from both simultaneously but whichever the last one you initiate sound on will play and pause the other so that's very convenient. They do not noise cancel but they do make it easier to wear and hear things around me which has been awesome at work and I don't mind that at all. My big gripe is that on phone calls the person on the phone can almost never hear me talking. I've tried to adjust almost everything I can think of but I end up having to disconnect them to talk on the phone just so the other person can hear me which is incredibly frustrating. So if that's what you'll be using them for don't get these. Get a different brand of clip on or something. These are very expensive. In some ways worth it but I've just not been blown away by the price point. You can get other clip on headphones that may be better than these for $100 less. I'd expect for the price that I wouldn't have to disconnect them just to talk on the phone. So hopefully Bose can correct that issue in the future with w design update or something.

    Great sound and for the folks who bike/exercise outdoors and would benefit from a open ear design that allows you to hear your surroundings. These are most comfortable ear buds I have encountered, I forget at times that are in my ears. Good battery life and I prefer physical buttons. Plus these actually stay in your ears doing intense exercise. The only issue is phone call quality indoors were the party on the call has a hard time hearing you. Strangely enough, I did not have this issue outdoors on a call?

    Theses are very comfortable, sometimes forget I’m wearing them. Sound quality is solid enough for open ear. Durability is bad, especially for the charger. Was great for a few months and then kept getting bad connection and headphones not charging. Then sounds quality started to fade or interruptions happened more often. These were largely used for workouts and during work. While working they were great, guessing the sweat is what made them breakdown, which is unfortunate because should be awesome for that

      Posted .

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open earbuds. We’re glad to hear that you found them incredibly comfortable and appreciated the solid sound quality, especially during workouts and work sessions. While these earbuds are designed for active use, exposure to sweat and moisture can sometimes affect long-term reliability, especially around sensitive components like the charging contacts.

      To help maintain optimal performance of your Bose earbuds, it's important to follow a few care and maintenance steps. First, gently clean the charging contacts with a dry cloth to remove any residue that may interfere with proper charging. Next, check for firmware updates using the Bose app, as updates often include performance improvements and bug fixes. Lastly, after workouts or exposure to moisture, be sure to store the earbuds in a dry, cool place to prevent any long-term damage caused by sweat or humidity. Hope it helps!

    The way they hold on to the ear is not too tight. It does not give ear fatigue. The sound is full and rich. I can have both headphones in and still be able to hear my surrounding environment, especially my kids. I love that I can have them in and get a nice full sound and still be aware of my surroundings! Also, the battery life is great.

    Superior Sound Quality and Comfort

    I recently purchased the Bose earphones, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. From the moment I put them on, I could tell that they were something special. First and foremost, the sound quality is exceptional. The earphones deliver crisp, clear audio with okishhh bass and balanced highs and mids. Whether I'm listening to my favorite music, watching movies, or taking calls, the sound is consistently top-notch.Comfort is another standout feature of these earphones. Additionally, the lightweight design makes them easy to wear for long periods without feeling cumbersome.One of the things I appreciate most about these earphones is their durability. The build quality is excellent, and they feel sturdy and well-made. I've been using them daily for several weeks now, and they still look and perform like new.The battery life is impressive as well. I can go for hours without needing to recharge, which is convenient for long flights or busy days on the go. The quick-charging feature is also a nice touch, providing additional convenience when I'm short on time.Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of Bose earphones. They offer superior sound quality, comfort, durability, and convenience, making them an excellent choice for anyone in the market for high-quality earphones. Cons: Pricey, i hope it had noise cancellation feature, some additional colors

    I was very impressed with the sound quality and fit of this particular open ear style. However, I did return my bose due to a static sound that continously popped on and off with and without any audio playing. I also experienced connectivity delays. Very sad that I had to returned these, I really wanted to keep them but could not ignore the static sound.

    Finally, earbuds that won't fall during walking and running are comfortable to wear all day long and allow you to talk to friends at the gym without pulling your earbuds out. I also like that you can hear traffic when out and about. You can shake your head, bend over, jump, and down--these do not fall off! The fit is a barely there feel. Unlike earbuds that seal off your ear, these do not trap moisture or irritate your ear. The sound is fantastic and has a unique motion setting feature. Disclaimer: I also have Bose noise-canceling earbuds. I use these when I need noise cancellation, such as on an airplane or busy spot where I want quiet and full sound immersion. If you want noise cancellation, these will not meet your needs. Sound quality comparison to other earbuds is fully satisfactory for the places and times when I am using these. I have seen some say the bass isn't as good as others, but I think enough bass is a personal preference. As I mentioned above, I am lucky enough also to have noise-cancellation earbuds, and they do have awesome bass, but these are just fine. Worth $299? For me, yes, these will be my go-to buds 90% of the time because they are comfortable and don't fall out. I am tired of earbuds popping out of my ears at the gym. These have solved my biggest gripes with earbuds. I highly recommend and appreciate the ingenuity of these earbuds.

    Sound is awesome. The clarity and details. Bass is great for open style. More bass than other open earbuds and the best part is thay even at low volume, the bass is very noticeable. You can feel the rumble. You can adjust it in the Bose app EQ. Very comfortable and the battery lasts all day. If you are looking for open style, get these!!!
