    Unique, good sound, but not great for phone calls

    I love how these clip on so they aren’t in the way of earrings or glasses. The sound is very good for an open ear bud. Sadly though, I am unable to use these for work calls - the person couldn’t hear me so I had to go back to my other ear buds. I still like these for listening to music or to use with my IPad, and the immersive audio feature is fun!

    These can take a little bit to get use to. I do find the to be very comfortable now . The sound quality is good and excellent battery life. Very easy to connect to your phone or tablet. I also found out they have a pretty good range for connectivity from your device before break up starts

    It is pricy, if the price was more reasonable, would have been much better, yet quality of sound, the comfort to use it (you do not have to worry about them coming off your ears) is a plus. The colors to choose from very limited.I picked black .

    Not what I expected Bose to become

    I have been a long time fan of the Bose inear headphones. For many platforms ive tried many years ago i was looking for the crisp and clean sound and bose delivered however And unfortunately for me, the open ear was a downright disappointment for the Bose line in my opinion. I was told by one of the employees at Bestbuy that these headphones were rated quite good from alot of people...and well. As a diehard audio guy, these did not deliver that "bose" quality sound. At max volume the sound was crackled, there was also not much bass and it just was not my style of in ear headphones. I gave it 2 stars because the one star was for fitment, it felt good "clipped" to the ear, but i wish it had a little more to out that bud into the ear itself. And the other star was for the idea that Bose was going for. The quality of the sound for me was terrible... the BEST in ear buds ive had from Bose was the ones that were super large and stuck out alot BUT you would twist the bud itself into your outer ear and it would literally fit into place and not fall out at all. The "second generation" for the ultra quiet inear that took a good thing and turned it into something different and made it bad. For that first gen the speaker itself was a little further away from the eardrum and MADE THAT quality crisp with the bass bose has been known for. The second gen...since it was closer to the ear drum it took away some of the max volume of the music and turned it down a bit because it was closer to the ear. So with the open ear....it just washed it away. Idk how much more disappointed i can put into words on how sad i am of what Bose Did with this line.....and asking 300 bucks for it. I did it as a trade in from the utra quiet 2 earbuds for these...and 3 days of use. I returned them and got a giftcard caz i didnt even want the ultra quiet 2's either.

    I was surprised at how much I really enjoyed these headphones. They are excellent for using at work, I highly recommend these. Especially if you prefer to have earbuds in while driving, they are perfect for letting you be completely aware of your surroundings while listening to music.

    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.

    I'm so happy with these earbuds! I've never been able to find or enjoy earbuds much because most options have been very uncomfortable in my ears but these are amazing!

    Sounds great, sound control is great and it fits great. The only minor drawback is that sometime the phone doesn't automatically reconnects it when you need to.

    These are great because I am aware of my surroundings and I don’t feel like I’m in a vacuum. I mainly got them for when I’m walking my dogs but they are becoming my “go to” earbuds. They may look a little strange at first but they are really comfortable and they sound really good! Highly recommended!

    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).

    I've used all kinds of different earbuds and the like over the last few years and I would have to say that I like these more than all the others. Pretty good battery life, the sound could be a tad better, and they are extremely comfortable to wear for an extended period of time.
