    My husband had the same pair before but got them in a different color. They still sound amazing and will definitely get them again.

    Anothe great product from BOSE and BEST BUY. These are improved over the QC II and a totally different animal. These arew MUCH better than the QC II ! Connectivity was bad at best with those ( android). The quiet comfort Ultas open ear are great for what they are designed for. Well made what you would expect from BOSE and Best Buy!

    Love these! I dont have to keep pulling my over the ear heads phones off, when ppl talk to me! Its great when you want to multitask. I use them when Im doing yard work, that way, I can hear cars coming. To me, I feel less rattling in my ears when I turn them up all the way. I did have to replace them once, because one stopped connecting to my phone. But if you have the Total Plus membership, they were replaced for free. No fuss no hassle. It was the best warranty experience I have ever had.

    Best sound for open ear concept

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I dont normally write reviews but i have weird ear canals and used the UE fits until they broke. Saw these and as an audiophile i know Bose is hit and miss. In regards to other headphones that have open ear options like sony, shockz, ect these provide the best sound possible for an open ear concept with out noise leakage, very immersive and they dont slip at all.

    Pleasantly surprised

    Dont leave reviews often but thought i would share my two cents. I wanted an open ear pair of headphones for running. Tried the Cleer Arc 2 and returned them. They werent for me. Purchased these and they surprised me. Really love them. Very comfortable, good/great sound. And i dont feel anti socialt when i put them on because i can still hear whats going on around me (volume dependent). Needless to say i kept them and love them.

    Hear music AND your environment

    Bose Open Earbuds Ultra is an interesting take on the open headphone/earbud concept. As an audiophile that also suffers from chronic ear infections, Traditional earbuds are a challenge to keep clean and keep from creating or exacerbating ear problems. This open ear concept is a wonderful creation and much better than bone conduction earphones. The way the Ultras "clamp" onto your ear takes some getting used to but they are not uncomfortable. The nice thing is that the position can be adjusted. Unlike traditional earbuds, these have a look more like a thick earring so it's not obvious you are wearing earbuds. Sound quality is good and clear, however due to the design, bass does seem to suffer. In a number of places these give the effect that the sound isn't in your ear, but rather coming from around you in the room like traditional speakers. You can also turn on Auto-Volume which raises and lowers the volume depending on your environment. As to be expected by design, there is no noise cancelling function. For people that are concerned with safety, or need to be able to hear ambient sounds due to their work or environment the open design ear means that you can really hear everything around you. Pairing is a breeze with no issues across multiple devices. Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 7, Iphone 14, Galaxy tab 8. The Bose app is intuitive and gives you access to all the extended functions. If you already have the app for other Bose products, it's simple to add these in. A couple of detractors are the price and which at $299 is a little steep (But in my opinion worth it) and the phone call quality. Listeners said I sounded far off, and I would have trouble hearing callers in louder open environments. These are great for active people. Riding a mountain bike, jogging, working out at the gym and even vigorous headshaking did not cause them to fall off.

    great open earbuds

    These earbuds are pretty great and sound you would expect from Bose! I usually prefer Active noise cancellation earbuds to block out all the noise but these are great when you need to listen to your surroundings like outside on the busy streets or the Subway where you might want to be more aware of your surroundings. Or if you bike or run outside and want to listen to Music but don't want to be distracted while doing those things. Inside the box you get to earbuds in the case along with a USB Type A cable to Type C. these are buds that don't go into your ear at all so you don't have to worry about ear tips or fit at all. I have tried other earbuds that try to do similar things to this where it sits on your ear and doesn't go in but I think I like this implantation the most. The bud has a small C shaped thing connected to this ball thing. The ball thing goes behind you ear and the other part wraps around your ear which has the speaker. It feels weird at first but once I got used to it was easy and I barely feel it. Sound wise it is great for what it is. Considering it doesn't go into your ear nor does it go over and cover your ears like ear buds or over the ear or on the ear headphones do you lose the bass response from these compared to those though. Besides that small flaw I found the bass to b clean and the sound overall to be clean and audible. I wish it could get a tad louder but it could be a fit thing I haven't figured out yet.

    It doesn't pair well with HP OmniBook X. It's on and off as it goes. I bought white smoke and it more like dark grey.

    Better than bone conducting headphones.

    Best in the game when it comes to an open ear design and being able to hear everything around you. After trying top performers of none co ducting headphones these are def superior in sound quality. Although they won’t sound as good as quality open ear or closed back traditional headphones they do step it up from bone conducting headphones. I have never had them fall off and with the Bose app there is a 3 band eq to help take the top end. Overall I’m happy with the purchase.

    If you are a gym rat like me, this is it !!! You will never lose an earbud like I did with one of my AirPods Pro. Sound quality is amazing and you will never feel like you have them on. Just buy it, you will never regret this purchase !!!

    Excellent product from Bose. Exceptional fix and highly fashionable. The fact that you can get great sound and still hear sound from the surroundings makes this product design unique. I highly recommend this product.
