    These have great sound and are extremely comfortable; however, it does not make up for the poor connectivity, the terrible microphone and high cost. Go for shokz instead.

      Thanks for sharing your honest review. We're glad to hear you found the sound quality and comfort impressive, but we're sorry to hear about the issues with connectivity and microphone performance.

      Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us identify areas for improvement. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed for open-ear listening, which can sometimes result in trade-offs in mic clarity and connection stability depending on your environment and device pairing.

    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!

    I love the design but - battery dies easily. Can't last a 6 hour flight. Connecting to phone is tricky everytime. Need to remove it so many times, put it back to the case, then put it back to my ear again. Anyway, this is just the first version - can't wait for them to make this one better.

    Very stylish, like the color options, has good audio, but i think im the type of person that prefers very rich bass and overall very loud music IN my ear. But definitely cool if you’re genuinely looking for something to use that sounds well with that open ear feature so you can be aware of your surroundings.

    I love the sound quality. They’re easy to slip on without the discomfort of most earpieces going into the ear canal. I brought the Bose charging case which is small and convient to carry around and keep your headphones charged the whole day.

    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

    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!

    These fatigued my ears a bit more than the Huawei Free Clips. The Bose cost more, even after importing the Huawei clips into the U.S., but the Bose don't sound much better. Huawei free clips have better volume and are much better on calls. The Bose have the upside off an app that works by default in the USA. For the Huawei clips there was a lot of roundabout work that was needed to get their app to work inside the US. But they are hands dowb the better design for comfort and sound.

    Let me start off with, I have the Bose quiet comfort earbuds and they are my all-time favorite pair of earbuds that I own (and I own quite a bit of earbuds:)) anyway, since I already know that Bose has amazing audio products, I purchased these because at my job I am not permitted to wear two earbuds at a time due to safety and communication issues. But with these buds I can wear both and still be aware of my surroundings. They also have been amazing for wearing around the house, and still being able to hear people at my door, and engage in conversation with my music running in the background. I also wore these outdoor in the rain, and they operated perfectly due to the button control and no touch sensor which the rain usually messes with.

    Love these new open earbuds by Bose!!! Best investment for the price.....was skeptical about the design and how they hold on to the ear, but now I'm convinced. They will not fall off while running, jumping or fitness intense routine. So far I've worn them at work for double shift and my ears are not sore what so ever. Can hear everthing around me and have conversations with people while playing music at the same time. Have not talked on phone with anyone yet, but I did not buy these just for that....love the sound quality of Bose! If I didn't I wouldn't have sound system installed in my truck!! This one is a keeper!! If your hesitant about getting a pair because of the price! Don't be...have not regretted since.

    Does exactly what they're meant to do. Provide good sound, all day comfort and leave you open to natural ambient sounds. Great for outdoor workouts, running, biking, etc. Also nice for just walking around the house and maintaining natural spacial awareness.
