I would recommend this to a friend Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They clip on to your ear so you don't have to worry about them falling off. The open factor makes it so you can hear around you and your ears can also breathe. And they're pretty stylish so it's almost an accessory. The sound quality is excellent as well. Had it for a month and I rarely need to charge it, battery life is great.

Bose Earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 .

Great fit and Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect fit for all Sports. Great sound quality as Bose is known for. My problem is when riding bike volume struggle to keep up with the wind noise plus when answering a call I can’t hear them and they can’t hear me.

Posted .Hi Victor, I'm glad you like the fit and sound of your Ultra Open Earbuds! Due to the buds' open-ear design, an excessive amount of wind noise can indeed make it hard for you to hear your audio content. As for the more serious problem of not being able to take calls, make sure your earbuds are using their latest firmware; version 4.0.22 was released last year to improve the customer's experience on calls. If that doesn't help, and if our support team can be of any further assistance to you, then please don't hesitate to reach out: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Not worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are comfortable but I have connectivity issues often. Also experiecing static and one or the other continues to disconnect often for no apparent reason. Or, sometimes they neither of connect at all. Takes 2-3 tries before I can get a connection. Poor product overall but they look nice. Lol

Takes some getting used to
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a big fan of bose. Had them for years but these take some time to get used to. Sound is great but comfort is so so. I cant wear them for long periods of time. I bought these because of my hearing issues. Thought it was a great concept and love how yoy can still hear everything around you. I am sure they will be improved them with time.

Unique
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The microphone is horrible - if i attempt to have a conversation with someone, i can count on the person saying, i sound distant or i sound like im in a tunnel. But regarding playing music or media, i love everything about that experience. They are lightweight and easily usable for hours, unlike any other earbud or headphones ive ever used. The sound quality is not the best, but not a deal breaker. For casual listening, perfect.

I would recommend this to a friend OK not great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So so sound. Takes getting used to fit. My ears have never allowed comfort with any bud only head phones. Thought I'd try these. Guess I'm gonna have to invest in some Bose over the ear headphones.

Good Sound, questionable fit
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got these because standard in ear headphones do not fit in my ears (keep falling out). I looked at these and thought I finally found some headphones that were actually made for me. The first day with little use, I thought they were great. Very good sound. Once I wore them to work and started just doing little stuff like moving around from point A to point B and minor shuffling around, I found that the top part that rests on the ear just sort of pops out and kind of hangs there. I kept pushing them back in, but there really isn't anything holding them in so eventually I spent a lot of time pushing them back in my ear all day long. Love the idea of it, but not for me. Plus I wasn't confident that the rubber part that "bends" to the ear would stay that way for very long. Anyway, I returned mine after a week of use. Sound was good, fit was for me. NOTE: I spent a lot of time researching the different ways to fit them on my ear, and no matter where they went the top part would loosen up and pop-out past my ear eventually.
