    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.

    For the first month I swore by them. Most comfortable ear buds I’ve ever worn. Great battery life and Perfect for cycling and day to day wear. So comfortable I almost got in the shower with them on because I forgot I had them on. Only down fall and I’ve experienced this with other Bose earbuds they just don’t stand the test of time and with these it was a very short time. After 2 months the left earbud went out and would work every so often to where I would just wear the right earbuds and leave the left in the case just because I wanted to use these earbuds so bad. I eventually returned them and went back to wear AirPods. Until next time Bose :(

    VERY comfortable, good, basic sound quality. Amazing for having music, personal assistant and phone call access all day long. Earphone placement is VERY finicky, and just a tiny movement completely changes the volume and quality of the sound. I still haven't completely figured it out yet, but I think these have really great potential and I look forward to using them daily. Couldn't ever use in/on-ear headphones this way, they just wouldn't be anywhere near as comfortable.

    Listen i am in absolute loveee!! I have really narrow inner ear canals, so in ear buds drop out despite adjustments. Over ear hurt after a while, and I have a tragus piercing bilaterally with other piercings. These are perfect for me because i like hearing everything around me. In a completely quiet room the sound is beautiful! Clear, crisp. However dont expect soul deep bass, not gonna happen lol, but still sounds great. I commute on the subways in nyc, and while i can still hear the screeching of the train, i still have my music to listen to. Its never being returned. I bought the wireless case on bose for wireless charging and portability with carabiner.

    A different take on Bluetooth. These can sit on my ears all day without causing any discomfort or pain. The sound for call audio is great and noise cancellation works well. 11/10 would recommend to someone not wanting in ear buds for Bluetooth.
