    Im so glad I found these…

    First off I want to say as someone with bad ear fatigue and swollen ears from any earbuds that go in-ear this is legit the best thing to ever happen to me!! Now let me tell you why. First off sound quality, the sound quality is phenomenal but its not just ordinary sound. The sound is so hard to explain its like a movie theater is constantly following you around everywhere you go. Because its open and not inside your ear I feel like the sound is more natural and feels like you can touch the sound rather it being locked up in your head. I could go on all day long about the sound but lets talk about the comfort. As someone who can only use headphones because earbuds are so uncomfortable these really change the game. If you put these on right it fits perfectly and does not fall out. Ive worn these today for a total of 8 hours and a lot of the times I totally forgot they were even in. I tested them walking around the store doing some chores and even laying around and it didnt cause any problems. They are very lightweight so you dont have to worry about it weighing your ears down or falling down. Some more perks that are very nice to have are all the modes they offer I wont list them but the bose app offers different sound settings to choose from to enhance your experience. For the mic/phonecalls I don’t really know but I also don’t care. I give these a 5 star because of sound and comfort. I truly can’t explain how balanced and comfortable these earbuds are. Buy them and you will see :)

    Worth every penny

    I have been looking for something like this for the last five years. I am a mechanic and I needed a headphone that didn’t plug my ears so I could still stay safe and hear what is going on around me. I also spend a lot of my time in the engine compartment of speed boats most of which I am dangling upside down. My head light and my safety glasses will fall right off my head in this position but these Bose headphones stay right where I want them no matter what I do. They don’t plug my ears so I’m still fully able to hear what is going on around me and they are so light I can forget I’m even wearing them. Other heavier headphones would give me headaches if worn too long but I can wear these all day without even noticing. I was originally nervous that either people could hear everything I was listening to or the sound quality would be bad because it wasn’t in my ear canal but these were of no issue as the sound quality is amazing and unless the volume is at the top range people around me reported that they couldn’t hear or didn’t notice any sound coming from my cuffs. I’ve placed one phone call with these headphones and I could hear the other person perfectly but they did report that I sounded weird in their end but hey I didn’t expect it to be the best at everything nor did I buy it for phone calls

    Good concept for open air earbuds but due to the new concept, it lacks the sound quality that Bose is known for. I was disappointed in their performance.

    Excellent. Title: The Perfect Fit: A Review of My Ultra-Comfortable Earbuds I recently stumbled upon the most comfortable pair of earbuds I've ever had the pleasure of owning, and I can't help but sing their praises. From the moment I slipped them in, it felt like a match made in heaven. First and foremost, these earbuds are unbelievably light. So much so, that I often forget I'm even wearing them. It's become a habit to check if they're still nestled in my ears, only to be pleasantly surprised every time by their barely-there presence. I've affectionately dubbed them my "ear cuff" because they effortlessly complement all my outfits, whether I'm dressed up for a formal occasion or keeping it casual. One of the most remarkable features of these earbuds is their ability to banish fatigue. Gone are the days of sore ears after hours of use. These gems provide such a comfortable fit that I can wear them for extended periods without the slightest discomfort. But comfort isn't the only thing these earbuds excel at. Their secure fit means I can confidently jog and even run without fear of them slipping out. It's like they were custom-made for my ears, staying put no matter how much I move. Overall, I have to give these earbuds a solid five out of five score. They've exceeded all my expectations and have been worth every penny. If you're in the market for earbuds that prioritize comfort without sacrificing performance, look no further. These are the ones you've been searching for.

      I'm sorry to hear this, Danny! The Ultra Open Earbuds are primarily designed for mobile devices, but can be used with TVs if the TV has the Bluetooth specs to match. I would recommend contacting Bose's support team, so we can take the model number of your Samsung TV. We can then see what could be causing the issues you're having with getting your earbuds connected up to your TV. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    Was intrigued by the design choice by these Bose headphones. Ordered right away and picked up a few minutes later using Best Buy locker. Very small box revealed a smaller charging case with the headphones. Putting them in the first time is a little strange but once you get the fit correct after a few minites it feels more natural. Sound is instantly awesome. Love that they don’t squish the inner ear like regular sound isolating headphones. Definitely worth a purchase if youre a bose fan. Very happy with this purchase.

      Sorry to hear you couldn't find a good fit with your Ultra Open Earbuds, Nasir! The earbuds are designed to fit most customers securely, thus enabling the sound to enter your ears directly.

      I'm sorry to hear the Ultra Open Earbuds don't fit you so well. The earbuds are designed to fit a wide range of ears; however, it is true that every customer's fit is different. As for sound, when worn correctly and comfortably, the earbuds' OpenAudio technology will direct rich, yet private sound into your ears.
