    Bought for the sole reason of wearing while doing yard work and other outdoor activities. Sound is great, decent battery life and they stay in place. Have bought additional pairs for family members because they work so well.

    I was looking for open ear headphones among different brands and this convinced me at the end and I’m not disappointed with my buy. They really are very comfortable that sometimes I even don’t feel them. Audio quality is awesome compared to other similar brands and you can customize it! Some People complain about max audio level but I’m not, these are OPEN EAR so they are not meant to sound very load so you can continue hearing your surroundings. I’m more than happy with my buy!

    Comfort is best ever. Typical Bose sound quality (I think Bose is generally best in the audio market, though some folks disagree). The open experience is a bit different. I find it to be fine but my wife probably would not. Used them while at the dog park and had great listening expeirience, no ear discomfort, buds were secure the entire time, and could hear ambient sound but was not distracted by it. If concerned about ambient noise being an issue, i would try them first. But, the extreme comfort and great sound overcome any other distractions for me.

    Not the Bose I Remember—Returned With Regret

    The Bose Ultra Open Ear wireless earbuds just didn’t hit the mark for me—especially when it came to sound quality. I wanted immersive, enjoyable audio, but what I got felt flat and underwhelming for something carrying the Bose name. That said, my biggest issue isn’t exclusive to this model. It’s something I’ve noticed with multiple recent Bose Bluetooth headphones: the call performance has taken a serious hit across the board. The active noise cancellation (ANC), or maybe whatever processing is layered with it, seems to interfere with voice clarity. My voice is often transmitted lower than the background noise—leaving the person on the other end hearing more of my environment than me. With the Ultra Open Ear specifically, my wife and kids frequently told me I sounded like I was in a tunnel, or they’d hear their own voices echo back during calls. This happened whether I was moving in a car or even sitting stationary in my office. The clarity just wasn’t there, and it made hands-free calls frustrating instead of convenient. Bose still delivers on build quality and aesthetics, but they’ve drifted from the acoustic precision and reliability that made them a leader. It feels like the brand is leaning too much on its legacy—and less on making sure every new product is actually worthy of that legacy. I returned these, and I hope Bose takes feedback like this seriously.

    Comfortable but bad latency, no bass.

    I bought these because I wanted to listen to music while I am at work, and these do the job. There is no bass at all, you can hear the bass only if the volume is really low, but if you want to listen to podcast these are perfect. Great sound quality but no punchy bass. I did not like that everytime a call starts there is a sound to tell you that, and you cannot hear the first 1.5 seconds of the call. These earbuds are only for cellphones, if you want to use them with PC or Nintendo Switch 2, they do not work well. There is too much latency

    Great headphones, the multi device syncing can be a little annoying at times but the audio quality is very good and they rest on your ear very comfortably I have even forgot they were there at times.

    These headphones are so comfortable that you can wear them all day without even knowing they are on. I listen to music and watch tv with them on. I love that you can hear everything around you while still hearing your program. Way to go Bose.

    They are amazing! They don't fall off the ear and are comfortable to wear and easy to move around your ear if you are wearing earrings or sunglasses. Highly recommend. Sound is A+

    I love my new earbuds. I gave it a 4 stars only because of you are in a noisy place you really have to put the volume up to the max in prefer to hear. Besides that, they are a great pair of buds. They do not hurt my inner ear because they’re not in my inner ear like all other buds. I love the fit and feel of them and they sound great.

    BUY THESE NOW! I absolutely love these! They don’t hurt my ears at all and they are perfect if you talk on the phone a lot, listen to audiobooks and music while still hearing your kids or what’s going on around you with also getting great sound from these ear phones. Highly, highly recommended these to anyone with ear fatigue!

    I was pleasantly surprised and shocked at how comfortable they are to wear and the sound quality is remarkable. After a few seconds I forget I’m wearing these earbuds. Others have commented on the lack of base and volume. In my experience if positioned correctly neither is true. I’ve used them to listen to Audiobooks, music and even movies and find them great. They are a little pricey but in my opinion well worth it, I would recommend Bose Ultra Open Earbuds in a heartbeat.

    They are great! I can still hear music/ taking to person on the ear buds and also hear my surroundings. They are not tight and can adjust well , by sliding them up slightly on the ear , so that you can heart them and not have to take them off completely.

    These headphones are really cute and comfortable, especially if you don’t like in-ear earbuds and still want to hear what’s going on around you. The sound quality is good, but even on the lower volume setting they can feel a bit too loud. Call quality isn’t great, which is a downside if you plan to use them for work or frequent phone calls. They’re nice for travel or casual use, but not something I’d fully rely on for everything.

    A.M.A.Z.I.N.G The quality on these earbuds that do not even seal your ear canal is very impressive. You can be aware of your surroundings while still being able to listen to whatever you need. The microphone is very good as well for phone calls. The best part for me is the comfortability. I can forget I have them on. I have never been able to sleep with earbuds and I was very happy I was able to do so with these. I tried the Sony’s earbuds and they felt very cheap compared to the Bose. I do not regret spending my money on these at all.
