Customer Ratings & Reviews

These earphones are great for those needing to be aware of surroundings like parents or daily joggers. The sound quality is good and they stay on well however the heafty price tag is a hard justification. Another issue is, rarely, do these earphones like a short disconnect like a second or two. For me it isnt a big issue however I can see someone gettinh frustrated. They serve its purpose and are the only earphones of this category that ive so far enjoyed.

Overall, these headphones are great quality product. I bought them for comfort and versatility. Headphones that go in your ear aren't comfortable to me, and I have a bigger pair of high end noise canceling headphones, but they are heavier and can get uncomfortable depending on the setting. These headphones are extremely comfortable and fit perfect. I barely feel them on my ear. They fit part of the versatility part of the equation. The battery charge is great, and switching devices with the button shortcuts also great. However, without noise cancelation, I can't use them in airports or airplanes, which is probably the best use case for them. Perhaps, if I sat in a cubicle or office setting they would be perfect, but without that, the best use versatile use case for me is my home theatre when I'm watching alone at night, or exercising in a quiet setting. Still a great quality product. For the $300 price tag, I want to be able to hear it in a loud setting while traveling. This maybe a misalignment of my expectation and what the market value is, but I'd rather pay more to have some sort of noise cancelation feature and be able to use them everywhere. If I had to choose just one, I'd stick with the higher end noise canceling headphones, as in the ear headphones don't work for me. If have the budget and enough of a use case to justify a second pair, and in the ear headphones are too uncomfortable, these are the perfect solution.

There are many options out there for headphones. Those options are usually of some similar design that often has limited users feeling closed off from their surroundings. These new innovative Bose ultra open earbuds are very unique in that they don't insert into your ears, yet they clip on them. This design is supposed to allow you the ability to hear what's going around you while being discreet in the sense that no one else can hear your sound. Well they deliver on that promise! It took a few minutes to set-up and after having them in my hand for 5 days and putting them through their paces, I can say they are amazing. First once on ears and adjusted they fade away and i forget they are even there. They are very lightweight yet stay in place. I tested them while working out and handled a few intense workout sessions at the gym. I used them while on the bike and when running. While running they did shift a little bit under heavy sweating but other than that they were fine. The sound quality is the quality Bose sound you have come to expect from Bose. They produce crystal clear sounds from music and the phone calls i had. They actually worked really well in phone conversations and was discreet where no one else heard the conversation. Overall I am very pleased and would recommend these to anyone who is looking for discreet and lightweight earbuds.

These were an early Christmas gift to daughter. They are very nice looking on. Like ear jewelry. They're a grayish white color. She had me listen and the sound was exceptional. I contribute that to the open-ear design. Wish they made them with hearing device capabilities like my Apple pro2. Also, the fit is more secure. They don't interfere with her multiple ear piercings.

Purchase these today while I started my new job in a warehouse and these are wonderful. I can still hear everybody around me even on the machinery and they are pretty cool looking. They look like earrings but I tell everybody they are hearing aids lol and the microphone is really good and loud environments Battery life great the comfort is excellent. I rarely noticed they’re on my ear. Kind of scary a little bit because of the price I don’t wanna lose them but overall they are great. I also have the quiet, comfort tools and these are the best pair comparisons to work together in whatever situation I need them in.

Love these open ear buds! Incredibly comfortable and have great sound once you find the best spot for your ear. I dont get sore spots on my ear like some other styles. I can forget im wearing them, but they stay on really well. Got them for a good deal too!

Overall these headphones are fantastic. I purchased them because i work in an automotive shop. I wanted to be able to hear my mysic at work, but easily be able to have conversations with co-workers if necceesary. The headphones are fantastic at that. I can listen to my tunes all day, the battery life is great. I use them for about 8 hours a day total and they are comfortable all day. I charge them in the case over lunch and never run out of battery during the day. So far it seems i only have to charge the case only once a week! The audio quality is surpisingly good for the size and style of headphone. Overall i would definitely reccomend these headphones if you also want to be able to hear your surroundings! 4.7/ 5. I would say really my only complaint with them is they can be a bit tricky to get in the perfect position!

Sound quality is very good. Great battery life. Very comfortable.

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.

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.

Awesome sound for Open Earbuds. Good bass, mids and highs! The Bass definitely rumbles although not as in the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds but you can't compare Open vs. In-Ear. But I was impressed with the crisp sound (Bose audio signature). They also sound very loud. Just be sure you are wearing them the right way to get the best audio. Super comfortable for all day without any discomfort. The battery lasts ALL day!! Call quality is good also. Only downside is that the price is too high, $300 vs the QC Ultra that are now for $249.

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

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?

Very stylish and work well overall. The sound is good and they look great. However, during phone calls, people sometimes have trouble hearing me. Also, they don’t work with Siri, which is a bit disappointing.

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.

The Bose Ultra Open-Ear Earbuds are excellent when it comes to music listening. The open-ear design delivers clear, immersive sound while still allowing awareness of your surroundings. For enjoying music during walks or at work, they perform exceptionally well. However, call quality is not the strongest. People on the other side of the call often struggle to hear my voice clearly—possibly a mic issue, though I’m not entirely sure. If calls are a priority, these may not be the best option. One more thing I noticed: the sound quality becomes even better when I bend my ears slightly forward, which obviously isn’t practical to hold all the time :-) . This might be due to my ear shape not perfectly matching the intended design :-) , so the fit could vary from person to person. Overall, despite a few quirks, these are among the best open-ear earbuds in this price range, especially if your main use is music and comfort rather than calls.

They sound good and dont hurt your ears. Wish the bass was better and they got loader

With their innovative design, they deliver immersive audio without blocking your ears, making them perfect for staying aware of your surroundings while enjoying your music. Overall, a fantastic choice for those seeking both comfort and quality in their earbuds.

Sound quality is great—just what you’d expect from Bose. They pair easily with both my computer and phone. Super comfortable too; I can wear them all day and barely notice them. Battery lasts a long time. The only minor issue is that some people say it’s a bit hard to hear me clearly during calls.
