    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    Best Open Earbuds!!

    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.

    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.

    Excellent product, not durable

    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

      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!

    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!!!

    Great sound but minor issues

    I've had these for about 2 weeks now and I think the sound on them are really good for what they are. Open ear headphones. I ride the metro so these are perfect for staying aware of my surroundings. The volume levels are great but I have noticed that sometimes a drop in volume at times. I could be listening to something and it sounds crystal clear at about 70% volume, but sometimes (in the same environment) I would be at 150% volume and can barely hear anything. I've had to close out all apps and restart my phone and the sound would go back to normal. I've had one connectivity issue so far where my phone would not connect again to these earbuds for approximately 20 minutes. I restarted my phone, disconnected the headphones from my device, placed the headphone back into the case and nothing. It wasn't until about 20 minutes in the case and it began working again. And yes they were at 100 % battery. I had just finished charging them and was headed to grab lunch but they wouldn't connect. I want to give these a higher review but right now I see a few problems happening in just a little over 2 weeks and I hope they don't continue. If the problems don't persist in the next few months I will gladly bump up the rating on the review.

    Overall, these are good open ear headset. My wife is using it with her iPhone. Calls are ok, hard to hear her sometimes. Music is great. Fit is comfortable, but takes a lot of practice to learn to put them on. Over all these are a good headset for daily use.

    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?

    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.
