    Thet don't clamp on good into your ear. I almost lost them about 100 times to expensive to loose them becuase the quality of grip on them is no good. The sound is amazing , but becuas they are far from your ear the sound is super low. I put them into my ear canal the sound is amazing. I rather keep my Shocks they sound clear and louder than the boose. I 2as not happy becuase the sound is to far from you ear. I went to a store to teach me about the app to make them louder, but they still didn't sound as loud and clearl as my shocks.

    Great headphones fit is the most comfortable and secure I’ve felt. Downside is the speaker for the headphones is not good and does not pick up my voice. If they improved on that then this would be the best headphones out in my opinion.

    I decided for this open earbuds after trying the alternatives in the shop by Shokz. I am a great fan of this kind of earbuds and I was aware of their limitations, open air or bone conduction. I was not convinced by the sound of the new open air Shokz, so I decided to give a try to the Bose, and my first impression was great. I am delighted with the sound and experience. It is really a game changer, and the recent firmware updates have improved a lot the sound and connection. Although I agree that the price is high, the results deserve the purchase.

    Best investment, but that price tag sucks. If you can get it on sale absolutely do it or if you have points. 300$ product shows why it's worth it but a 200$ price tag and this product would be flying off the shelf.

    Bose is usually my go too listening device however, the device hurt my ear lobe and it constantly shifted. Music quality was nice. One additional thought, no multipoint device use however, the open ear concept was good.

      I'm sorry to hear that the Ultra Open Earbuds were hurting you, though you did enjoy their sound and open-ear design. The earbuds are designed to provide a comfortable fit to a wide range of users, however we appreciate that comfort is subjective. The earbuds can remember the 6 most recently paired devices, but only one device can be used actively at a time. Regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    I've been using earbuds for a longtime and i usually have to remove or use only 1 earbud so i can hear my surrounding or when talking to a person. Now, i don't have to remove it and sometimes i forget that i'm wearing it coz for some reason it feels light when you clip it to your ear.

    They were ok. Sounded great, but it definitely takes some getting use to, and practice, putting on. The sound quality also depends on how you put them in your ear. It's takes a minute to find the right spot.

      I'm glad you like the sound of the Ultra Open Earbuds! It's true that a product with an initially unfamiliar design will take a little getting used to; however, if worn correctly, the Ultra Open Earbuds will supply rich, satisfying audio and a secure, yet feather-light grip.
