    The battery lasts for days. I can truly hear things around me when listening to music, books or on a call. When on a call, I'm told it is crystal clear. Can you mow the grass and listen to something? No, but that isnt the purpose of these. Can you go on a run and feel better about hearing your surroundings while enjoying music or a book, yes.

    Possibly comfortable but way too buggy.

    It takes a lot of effort to make the Open Ultra comfortable, but once you get it there it does sound really nice and it can stay there for comfortably for hours. However it is the buggies bose product I've ever used. Often only one earbud worked, requiring me to reset it by putting it in/out of the case. Sometimes even this wouldn't work and I'd have to unpair and re-pair it. This was inconsistent but it did happen way more than it should. More consistently, when starting a video it would take a solid 2 seconds before audio kicked in. If I paused the video, I'd have to go through the same thing. Imagine leaving a tiktok comment, moving on to the next video, only to miss the first 2 seconds of it. Really annoying. I ended up returning it. Not the quality I expect from this brand. I'd probably have stuck with it if it wasn't such a buggy product.

      I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the Bose sound from your Ultra Open Earbuds, and that you found a comfortable fit after a while. However, I'm sorry to hear that one earbud wasn't working 100% of the time. Resyncing the earbuds with the case can resolve this, or you can reboot your connected mobile device as this can improve the connection's stability as well.

      As for a video's audio not playing immediately, a slight audio/video delay via Bluetooth is normal. However, using a different video app can produce different results, as can resetting your earbuds, see here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000000hRrFAAU&language=en_US.

    Good sound especially for music, comfortable for the ears but too expensive with little control on the earbuds, I can only play and stop the music without volume control or ambient awareness.

    I love the Bose Earbuds. I have the apple ear pods as well,which are also wonderful, but the sound from Bose and the fact that I can still hear cars or people talking while listening is wonderful. The fit is great and the quality is exceptional.

    Exceptional open sound stage and a MUST HAVE for the biker or runner in your life. You still hear your surroundings which is so critical in biking and running, I really can't emphasize it enough. I will always have a pair. The music quality really doesn't suffer. It's a different sound than an earbud, less bass given the nature of how it sits on your ear, and they're very stable. The mic quality is mid tier at best though, I dont know if beamforming is more difficult, but if you're looking for an in office pair that allow you to hear your surroundings...I wasnt impressed and told frequently that I sounded muffled.

    Good sound. Very comfortable. Open ear allows to hear surroundings. Probably about $100 overpriced though. $199 would be fair.

    These earbuds are so comfortable. I sometimes forget I’m wearing them. I use them as my headset for work as well as personal use. The sound quality is very good. You can still hear what’s going on around you which I really like. I would definitely recommend these.

    Amazing when listening to music, also great when listening to audiobooks or anything like that!!!! But as far as making a phone call there is some work to be done! While talking on the phone I found myself repeating myself as well as asking the person on the other line to repeat themselves. The design, the case, charge life all get two thumbs up. Only other thing is the ability to charge wireless will cost you additional and it only available thru the Bose website. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a wireless headphone to talk on the phone on.

    Nice looking and comfortable to wear. The volume could be higher and the price should be lower. My favorite thing about these open ear buds is they felt very secure and most times I forgot I had one on.

    Obviously it’s great sound quality as it’s Bose. Just wish it was a little louder. Guess that’s what you get with open ear buds. I do really like the way they fit.

    These open buds are exactly what i was looking for. Sound is great (no ANC by design), fit is great, battery life is more than enough. I use them at work which they're fantastic for. I can listen to music and still here everything going on around me. Pay a bit for the name but I'm ok with that

    Great design, but only for Podcasts and Audiobooks

    These are incredibly comfortable — so light you’ll forget you’re wearing them. But unless you're listening to spoken word, don’t bother. They have virtually no frequency range beyond mids, making them perfect for podcasts, audiobooks, and phone calls — and useless for music. They’re overpriced for what they deliver, especially with better options available. That said, I still love them for what they are: great background audio while I’m working around the house. Just know what you're buying — and only grab them on sale. Thanks, Bose, but these should cost half as much.
