Depends
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can still carry on a conversation with someone near you while still listening to music. The quality is amazing. However, if you’re looking for an immersive sound, these are not the headphones you want. Realistically, it sounds like a speaker surrounding you while you can still hear everything else. if that is what you want, you would definitely enjoy them. Ultimately I returned these as i couldnt justify the cost over buying a portable speaker.

Posted .I'm sorry to hear you weren't happy with your Ultra Open Earbuds, though you did like their sound and open-ear design! For immersive audio, I'd recommend one of our other in-ear solutions, namely the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. These buds sit directly in the ear canal, and the Immersive Audio settings will make your music feel like it's coming from outside the earbuds! Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my favorite ear buds so far. I can't use normal in-ear earbuds because they hurt the inside of my ears after a while. The open earbuds I can keep on for hours, for example on a long haul flight. Plus, I like to be aware of my surroundings on a run by myself.
I would recommend this to a friend Good headphones, phone quality subpar, allergic
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A number of people are looking for alternatives to airpod pro earbuds, and I'm one of them. I have some sort of allergy to the new airpods and the new bose quietcomfort (and ultra) buds and overears, so I tried these after returning the ultra overears because of that allergy. So, first warning, if those allergies affect you, the strap in between the battery and speaker appears made of the same material and while I didnt have an issue immediately, it has come up again more slowly and just where that part touches the skin. Unfortunately I was letting my ears heal a bit from the ultra overears before using these a lot and I'm stuck with them because my return period is over, so if anyone at Bose is reading this and can help, I'd sure appreciate it. To the actual product: I think that overall, these are what I expected as far as music sound goes. Connected to my iOS devices, phone quality is poor. I've been told numerous times I sound awful and have had to remove them to use speaker or another device, unfortunately my use is about 50/50 phone calls and music. I own the glasses and these are definitely a step up in the right direction. I like these better than the openfit and openrun from competitors, but I just cant use them due to whatever all these manufacturers are putting on the silicon/rubber/whatever. Really, if you can fix the phone call quality these are closer to 4.5 stars, if you can make me non-allergic, then I'd give just about anything.

Posted .Thanks for your review of the Ultra Open Earbuds! While I'm happy to hear that you've been enjoying the Bose sound, I am sorry to hear about what appears to be an allergic reaction to part of the product - as well as the phone call issues you've outlined. My suggestion would be to contact Bose's technical support team, so that both issues can be looked at more closely with regards to finding a solution for you.

Excellent over the ear non touching headphones
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good wireless headphones that don't touch the ear but sound like they do so you can hear other things as well, works very well and excellent sound
I would recommend this to a friend Great for awareness
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s great for spatial awareness, it’s a little weird getting the fit right on your ear as it clips. The left ear bud has trouble connecting on my IPhone. The earbuds do not automatically connect when you have them on and take a phone call, you have to manually go into the call and choose them. The case is not wireless charging.

Great for runners
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work great. Ear buds never stay in my ears when I run, and these are a great alternative. They also make it easy to listen to music while still being aware of my surroundings.

Sound quality was underwhelming
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These were extremely comfortable, but it was very difficult to hear what was playing unless the surrounding was quiet. I had hope since other bose products purchased have worked well. Though these were so light I sometimes forgot they were on my ear, it did not make up for the poor sound quality.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After owning Bose, klipsch and Sonos amongst others over the years I’ve concluded I’m a Bose fan. These people put in the work. I was skeptic about these little guys but they blew my mind. I honestly don’t understand how they crank the bass on these. They’re pricey but I would challenge any competitors to equalize with out-ear headphones
