    Price - a bit high but expected with this brand Battery Life - great, do not charge very often and last me multiple walks Sound - good for what it is, sometimes hard to hear in loud environments. Comfort and Fit - GREAT! Sometimes I forget they are there. They stay in place. This is not for you if you do not want to hear anything around you. They are NOT noise cancelling.

    Bose - New open ear buds

    So the fit is excellent, you will forget you have them on. Please remember these are open ear so they are made to bear everything, your music and everythibg around you. The volume is slightly low so you end up using them in the upper volumn range but stiff very private. They sound very good. I do wish however that they sold them for around $199 as they are a bit steep for what control you have versus all their other products and even though its bluetooth 5.3, you dont have multiple decice capability automatically as you notmally would, its a manual process. Should get an update to change that soon. Overall, i love them, but do feel they are overpriced. Was going to return and wait for price decrease but they just feel like they are not there and dont bother me like all the in ear buds do!

    I love the battery life on these . These are comfortable and i can wear them all day , I can even sleep with them . The downside is talking on the phone is super low and the microphone isnt great . People said I sounded low . My boyfriend got a pair and we tested with calls together. We both kinda sounded like robots or like we were talking into a can . He loved the immerse sound for the music so he kept his . I also did not like the style , i looked like inhad on hearing aids or earings in white . Overall i liked these but not for $300 . Call quality is poor and low . I returned them in the end I will only ever buy them again for no more than $100 bucks

      Thanks for your review! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the Ultra Open Earbuds' battery performance and comfortable fit, however I'm sorry to hear you had difficulty making calls. A few things the user can try here are making sure the microphone holes aren't blocked, resetting the earbuds, and connecting a different Bluetooth device. For anything else, our customer support team is always happy to help. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Customer Support bose

    I purchased these ear buds to replace my I pods while I exercise because my iPods won’t stay in. And these Bose earbuds have wonderful sound and stay in place even when I run. I am in love with them. They are easy to pause or switch songs and answering a phone call is effortless. So comfortable and convenient.

    I recently purchased the Bose Open Ear earbuds for a friend's birthday after he had been raving about them. He often works in environments that can be quite noisy, and he needed something that would allow him to enjoy his music while still being aware of his surroundings. These earbuds turned out to be the perfect solution! From the moment he started using them, he loved the open-ear design. The sound quality is fantastic, providing rich audio while maintaining ambient awareness. This feature is essential for him, as it enables him to stay connected to his environment without sacrificing the enjoyment of his favorite tunes. The comfort level is another standout aspect. These earbuds fit securely and are lightweight, making them ideal for long hours of use. My friend mentioned that he can wear them all day without any discomfort, which is a significant plus. Battery life is impressive as well, allowing him to listen to music for extended periods without frequent charging. Additionally, the Bluetooth connectivity is stable, ensuring he can easily pair them with his devices. Overall, the Bose Open Ear earbuds have been a fantastic addition to my friend's tech collection. They perfectly blend sound quality with safety and comfort, making them an ideal choice for anyone who needs to stay aware of their surroundings while enjoying great audio. I'm thrilled with this gift choice, and my friend couldn't be happier! Highly recommended!

    It’s a good product, can hear the sound very good and hear my surroundings at the same time. The battery life seems good with no issues thus far. The ear buds are very secure on your ear while running or working out. Overall no complaints, great product!

    Fantastic earbuds, they work exactly as they are should. I wear these for work which involves exiting a cargo van 180+ times a day and running from dogs and have never had the earbuds fall-off. I regularly go 8 hours without ever adjusting the earbuds or even noticing they're there. I was cautious when I purchased them because many reviews claimed they were quiet and provided poor audio quality. Those people are wearing the earbuds incorrectly, ignore them, the earbuds sound great. They will never be as immersive as a pair of in-ear buds but that's not what these are. These are so you can listen to quality sound while staying aware of your surroundings. Theyre only flaw is that they disconnect occasionally but I'm really hoping a software update will fix that

    Overall, these headphones are great quality product. I bought them for comfort and versatility. Headphones that go in your ear aren't comfortable to me, and I have a bigger pair of high end noise canceling headphones, but they are heavier and can get uncomfortable depending on the setting. These headphones are extremely comfortable and fit perfect. I barely feel them on my ear. They fit part of the versatility part of the equation. The battery charge is great, and switching devices with the button shortcuts also great. However, without noise cancelation, I can't use them in airports or airplanes, which is probably the best use case for them. Perhaps, if I sat in a cubicle or office setting they would be perfect, but without that, the best use versatile use case for me is my home theatre when I'm watching alone at night, or exercising in a quiet setting. Still a great quality product. For the $300 price tag, I want to be able to hear it in a loud setting while traveling. This maybe a misalignment of my expectation and what the market value is, but I'd rather pay more to have some sort of noise cancelation feature and be able to use them everywhere. If I had to choose just one, I'd stick with the higher end noise canceling headphones, as in the ear headphones don't work for me. If have the budget and enough of a use case to justify a second pair, and in the ear headphones are too uncomfortable, these are the perfect solution.

    These earphones are great for those needing to be aware of surroundings like parents or daily joggers. The sound quality is good and they stay on well however the heafty price tag is a hard justification. Another issue is, rarely, do these earphones like a short disconnect like a second or two. For me it isnt a big issue however I can see someone gettinh frustrated. They serve its purpose and are the only earphones of this category that ive so far enjoyed.

    Sound quality is great and they feel so comfortable i forget they are there. Only downside was the mic quality an BT connection. Sound was apparently to low or hard to hear and it kept disconnecting/reconnecting from my devices.

    Innovative and lightweight

    There are many options out there for headphones. Those options are usually of some similar design that often has limited users feeling closed off from their surroundings. These new innovative Bose ultra open earbuds are very unique in that they don't insert into your ears, yet they clip on them. This design is supposed to allow you the ability to hear what's going around you while being discreet in the sense that no one else can hear your sound. Well they deliver on that promise! It took a few minutes to set-up and after having them in my hand for 5 days and putting them through their paces, I can say they are amazing. First once on ears and adjusted they fade away and i forget they are even there. They are very lightweight yet stay in place. I tested them while working out and handled a few intense workout sessions at the gym. I used them while on the bike and when running. While running they did shift a little bit under heavy sweating but other than that they were fine. The sound quality is the quality Bose sound you have come to expect from Bose. They produce crystal clear sounds from music and the phone calls i had. They actually worked really well in phone conversations and was discreet where no one else heard the conversation. Overall I am very pleased and would recommend these to anyone who is looking for discreet and lightweight earbuds.

    The sound is nice they’re a little pricey but not having something stuck directly in my ear is better because no headache after a long time. They are light weight also.

    Purchase these today while I started my new job in a warehouse and these are wonderful. I can still hear everybody around me even on the machinery and they are pretty cool looking. They look like earrings but I tell everybody they are hearing aids lol and the microphone is really good and loud environments Battery life great the comfort is excellent. I rarely noticed they’re on my ear. Kind of scary a little bit because of the price I don’t wanna lose them but overall they are great. I also have the quiet, comfort tools and these are the best pair comparisons to work together in whatever situation I need them in.

    Returned airpods pro for these

    My husband gifted me with airpods pro but I knew pretty quickly they wouldnt work for me. He went back to bestbuy and exchanged them for these. These are the best earbuds ive ever had. My only complaint is they are so light I often forget I have them in. Sometimes with the immersive sound on I can't tell if I forgot to connect them because the sound seems like its coming from the room. That's a good thing but its crazy just how well it works. I have very small ears so in earbuds are always uncomfortable and fall out no matter which size I use. I also just think its gross putting stuff in my ears all the time even though clean. They also have multipoint, so can connect to multiple blhetooth devices but sometimes you get crackling if you have more than one of those devices with bluetooth on at once. These work really well for me and im glad something like this exists.

    These were an early Christmas gift to daughter. They are very nice looking on. Like ear jewelry. They're a grayish white color. She had me listen and the sound was exceptional. I contribute that to the open-ear design. Wish they made them with hearing device capabilities like my Apple pro2. Also, the fit is more secure. They don't interfere with her multiple ear piercings.

    Love these open ear buds! Incredibly comfortable and have great sound once you find the best spot for your ear. I dont get sore spots on my ear like some other styles. I can forget im wearing them, but they stay on really well. Got them for a good deal too!

    Overall these headphones are fantastic. I purchased them because i work in an automotive shop. I wanted to be able to hear my mysic at work, but easily be able to have conversations with co-workers if necceesary. The headphones are fantastic at that. I can listen to my tunes all day, the battery life is great. I use them for about 8 hours a day total and they are comfortable all day. I charge them in the case over lunch and never run out of battery during the day. So far it seems i only have to charge the case only once a week! The audio quality is surpisingly good for the size and style of headphone. Overall i would definitely reccomend these headphones if you also want to be able to hear your surroundings! 4.7/ 5. I would say really my only complaint with them is they can be a bit tricky to get in the perfect position!

    The way they hold on to the ear is not too tight. It does not give ear fatigue. The sound is full and rich. I can have both headphones in and still be able to hear my surrounding environment, especially my kids. I love that I can have them in and get a nice full sound and still be aware of my surroundings! Also, the battery life is great.
