Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great-sounding open-air earbuds. So light you really would forget they're on your ears but for the wonderful sound, but be careful. While you can't shake them off during exercise, you can easily brush them off. After pausing my music while in a convenience store, one of the buds came off when put my hood back on in a slight rain. Panic! Fortunately, it got stuck between my hoodie and my shoulder. So, great earbuds, but be careful.

These earbuds are comfortable to wear for long periods. The open-ear design makes it easy to stay aware of surroundings while still enjoying music. Battery life is solid too.

These work really well. You can hear your music, and hear other people talking if need to. The music and phone calls come in clearly, and you sound clear. They work wonders when working out at the gym. You don't have to deal with all the sliding or falling out.

For open ear….that was really cool. Getting to use to placement on my ear involved a bit of a learning curve bit once you get pass that…..these are cool. Nice sound and nothing to interfere with normal hearing. But the music is so easy to listen to you might not want to hear other stuff!

Love them they sound amazing a they do not make my ears hurt or chafe.

I love the sound quality and the light design of the earbuds but I am having some short connectivity loss often (like a cracking sound in both ears) when I run with them. I hope Bose can fix this issue soon. Firmware has been updated and I have no issues with other Bose earbuds in same condition.

Great sound & so comfortable on my ears since I have ears completely full of piercings so I tend to not wear over ear headphones! I also love the fact that I can still hear my surroundings when I wear them—makes me feel much safer! The battery life is great, I have 0 complaints with these:)

The sound , the fit , the price hands down a great product.

People constantly complain about not being able to hear me. Ear buds will connect and disconnect at random. Volume isn't great. They are very comfortable and can be worn all day. I would forget they were there. Button function is nice.

I really like them. They fit well cliped on to my ears. The sound is great.

Excellent & Awesome i like it comfort easy to use sound is perfect

The fit is amazing! The sound is amazing! The battery life is amazing! Just buy them, you wont be mad you did.

These are great for what they are designed for which good sound and still hear your surroundings. I wish they were louder and almost returned them because in some setting may not be loud enough for you. At high volume people right next to you can hear them. Great for traveling with my wife and still hear what she is trying to tell me but not so great at a loud gym.

The standout feature of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds is the absolute freedom they provide. Unlike traditional buds that "plug" your ears, these sit comfortably on the outer edge. This means I am 100% aware of my surroundings at all times. I can still hear cars, colleagues, or my own footsteps without that muffled "underwater" feeling.

These are definitely the most comfortable earphones I have ever had, hands down. There were a few times when I honestly forgot I was wearing one of them. Once you get them on, they stay in place and don’t feel as if they are at risk of falling off. As for the cons: - really takes some practice to put them on, especially if your trying one-handed. I could never quite get the hang of it. - the sound is sub-par in my opinion. This is mostly due to the “open ear” design. Everyone’s ears are different so they quite naturally can’t fit optimally for everyone. Due to this I could never get the sound “projected” properly to my ear canal(s). Found I needed the volume at 75% or higher - preset equalizer settings need some work, but it’s possible the hardware and open ear design allow in too much ambient noise for it to really make a difference. - they would sporadically disconnect and then reconnect when playing audio for more than 25-30 minutes

If anyone rated these anything other than 5 stars I want to know what is better? Maybe it’s because my last set where Dr. Dre pro beats that I think these sound so great and that could be, but these sound great. Comfortable, many listening mode options and the best bass I’ve heard in earbuds. You just have to not forget your wearing them.

I'll keep it simple. For non-active situations these are some of the best earbuds you can get. They sound stunning. But if you do any movement walking level or above, they constantly disconnect. It's actually comical how much they disconnect.

Bought them for my wife for Christmas she had been looking at then since came out. She thinks they are amazing used them everyday for at work for 8 to 12 hour a day. Sound great work amazing on phone calls and dont feel like she even wearing them.

I've probably tried every ear bud known to man and returned them all. If you sweat a lot while working out, or if ear buds pop out when you chew or talk, then these are for you. They never ever fall out whether I'm running in the heat or laying on my back doing bench presses. My only wish is if they were a bit louder to make up for the volume loss if you like to wear yours higher on your lobe. Mine seem to fit best in a position that has the least amount of volume. I like to hear my surroundings but not that much. But it still isnt worth dropping a star on the rating. I love these things.

The sound quality is exceptional for what they are. Battery life is good, at least when you can get them to charge. If you are like me and work in or around dusty areas the charging case is complete trash, the prongs get stuck constantly and refuse to charge. I've had them for approximately 3 months, and love the headphones but sadly I can't use them because I can very very rarely get them to actually charge in the case. You can buy a new case, but that's another 100$ for just that when the only problem with the case is that it has ZERO dust resistance, calls on them are ok but sometimes the other party has a hard time hearing me. All in all I was extremely happy with them until the problems with the case. Without the case you can't do anything with them, so if it's not good than the headphones are useless.
