    I would recommend to anyone who like to be aware of there surroundings, and it has great sound quality for a open earbuds. The only thing that is not great is when you take a call it is quiet and you can not hear well even at max volume.

    After purchasing Airpods and Beats wireless earbuds, these by far are the most comfortable! I could wear these for 2 hrs and feel no discomfort. I specifically purchased these to run and they do not move. I had trouble with other brands while exercising, they would fall out when I started to move or sweat. These earbuds are not noise cancelling, you are still able to hear background noise and enjoy your music. Perfect for work and exercising outside.

    These are by far the best earbuds on the market. They have a great design but it also has some top notch quality which is expected from bose. And they delivered. I love how well it pairs with a variety of devices. I have a simple phone called a light phone and it connects. I have an 8 year old garmin watch and it connects. I love that it proveds great sound while also allowing you to hear the elements around you.

    A great earbud especially for using at work/research labs/warehouses etc. It's very safe, allows conversation with colleagues, remaining aware to surrounding sound (alarm etc.) while listening to music/news etc. Sound quality is great, as best can be expected from an open-ear earbuds. Bit pricey, but it's Bose. Using for 1+ year, recently bought another pair for wife. A must have for working professionals!

    I wish they had noise cancellation thats why i only gave it a five star rating ive had them for a month now work great overall. Its nice i can hit the gym anand lift heavy weights and they dont fall out or feel like they are gonna fall out like other headphones i like i you can change the settings for like one of the settings i like is it changes the volume automatically to your surroundings so like when your walking music gets louder when theirs lots of cars then goes back to normal when its quite.

    Love these earbuds! They’re so sleek. Fit nicely around my ears, I think they’re pretty comfortable, great sound when not crackling. So far this is my second pair, 1st pair; crackling and popping noise when I adjusted it, I returned them for the white ones. Now the crackling is worse with my 2nd pair. It’s just terrible, sometimes it doesn’t crackle, but most of the time it’s almost every few mins for a couple of seconds. Also has like a Bluetooth glitch time to time, like it disconnects for a second and comes back on. I love these though, I can listen to music and still be aware of my surroundings. The whole reason why I wanted these but the crackling and popping noise, I’m not sure it’s entirely worth it. I am sad to be returning them once again.

      I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying the design and fit of your Ultra Open Earbuds, as well as the audio quality!

      If you're experiencing crackling sounds or occasional Bluetooth stability issues, try rebooting your connected mobile device, as that can help to restore a stable connection. Also, check whether these issues are occurring in all environments, or whether they seem to be specific to one environment. Our customer support team will also be happy to assist further, via the relevant troubleshooting: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US

    These buds have great sound for an open ear pair of true wireless buds. They are the holy grail of comfort, sound, and the ability to hear surrounding noise. The one big drawback is that call quality is horrendous to the point of being un-useable. On runs, if I get a call, the person can’t hear me well at all and it’s impossible to hold a conversation. I’m really bummed by this as they do everything else extremely well. I like the controls being a button rather than touch, and comfort is just fantastic as they clip on your ears. Bose really dropped the ball on calls.

      I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying the comfort and sound experience that the Ultra Open Earbuds have to offer. If the people you are calling are unable to hear you, I would recommend making sure each earbud is sitting on your ear at about 45°. It's also a good idea to remove any headgear, and make sure the microphone holes on the inner edges of the earbuds are not blocked. If the call issues persist, our customer support team will be happy to help you further: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    Definitely love the concept of these buds and works great with my type of lifestyle, however my issue would be connectivity. Once in a while my buds will have an issue connecting to my phone or will go out of sync with one another. Also, when speaking on the phone the person you are talking to has a hard time hearing, you’ll have to raise your voice in order for the other party to hear you. Other than that they’re great.

    These headphones are nice, the sound while listening to music is great. However—when phone calls come in the sound cuts in and out, the person on the other line can hear themselves speaking as if it’s echoing back to them. The volume goes up and down so they can’t really tell what you’re saying to them. The battery life in standard listening mode is approximately 7/8hrs and in immersive listening mode is approximately 2/3hrs. The case charges pretty fast and the headphones charge quickly too. For $300 headphones there shouldn’t be any sound issues so I wound up returning them.

    I recently purchased these Bose open earbuds, and I am thrilled with my experience. Sound Quality: The sound quality is nothing short of remarkable. Whether I’m listening to my favorite tunes podcasts, or taking calls, the clarity and depth of sound are impressive. Comfort: These earbuds are so comfortable that I forget I’m wearing them even during extended use. Pairing these earbuds with my devices was a breeze. The Bluetooth connection is stable, and I appreciate the seamless transition between my phone and laptop.

    The earbuds work very well, the sound quality is good, and they don’t hurt my ears over time like many other earbuds. However, as they are open ear, they are impossible to hear in loud environments like on an airplane or in a cafeteria
