Impressive Comfort and Sound Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve just received my the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds since I using it while working, walking, and casual listening. I was curious about the open-ear design and how it would compare to traditional in-ear or over-ear headphones. These earbuds are so comfortable and lightweight plus surprisingly secure. I haven't felt any discomfort. I also found the sound quality to be impressive. The audio is clear especially the bass but also allows me to hear my surroundings.
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are a fantastic choice for people who want high-quality sound without blocking out the world. They’re perfect for walking, working, or commuting in environments where awareness is key. If you’re looking for a premium, open-ear experience, these are hard to beat.

Couldn't be happier!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are actually the third set of earbuds I've owned. I am so happy with them. The sound is amazing and I'm aware of what's going on around me while listening with them. When I'm doing things, like mowing the lawn, I don't have to worry about them falling out, which was the biggest issue I had with others. I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love these things!

Game Changers!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these about 3 months ago and they have been a total game charger for me. They are comfortable and the sound is just amazing. I’m able to run and train with them with no issues. They are sturdy and stay in place. I like the immersive audio features letting you shift from being in motion (like when you’re running) or still (sitting down listening to a podcast) which I switch between both on a day to day basis. Overall I’m so impressed and happy with them. Will be using them for years to come. Highly recommend!

Very light & the immersive audio there’s no match
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought this item over three times from the beginning they were out I was in love with them, and once my wife borrowed it she fell in love with them and I never got it back. I bought the second one and my son snatched it and I had to buy another one that shows how great this piece it

So comfortable love them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Bose Ultra Open Earbuds! They're so comfortable, I forget I'm wearing them, and I have always had issues finding earbuds that fit comfortably and these are a dream. The design is just beautiful, and the sound is (as all Bose products) superb!

I feel like I’m in the Studio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these about a month ago, I am so happy with them. I use them for my workouts, and when I put them on immersion and motion, I feel like I can conquer anything. The sound is just like I’m in the studio!!

Small ears? No problem!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have small ears and most earbuds fall out doing the simplest task
With these, I can workout, clean house, or just simply doing nothing. Perfect fit!

Awesome all around
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best earbuds ever purchased! The quality and sound are awesome! I even love the color I got mine in, deep plum. The Apple AirPods can’t even compare to my Bose. I will never go back to Apple again! I want a set of Bose in every color!!!

The best buds you can buy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These buds are the Cat’s Meow. They stay on when I’m working in the shop. I tried two different buds from a different mfg and I couldn’t them in my ears. The sound is terrific and yes I can hear my wife talking to me.

A very pleasant surprise
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Bose headphones for many years and my last one was already quite old when I decided to try this new model. These headphones were a very pleasant surprise for me, they are amazing. An incredible feature is the possibility of controlling everything through them, for example next or previous song, volume, pause, play, etc. I'm a runner and they don't fall out of my ears while running and the sound is great

Well thought out product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek design and features. So glad to see that they are fairly compact rather than bulky given they are open earbuds. Easy to connect and wear, even my tech-adverse parents could handle. Love the sound quality without sacrificing and losing awareness of my surrounding, great for outdoors and physical activities. Also, as an add on I'm glad these are earbuds where you don’t look tacky wearing them through the office or when dressed formal.

The Best Earbuds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had tried using all types of earbuds, but they all hurt me and fell out of my ear. This is by far the best I have ever used. I recommend it!!

A new kind of listening experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these through the Bose trade-in program and I couldn't be happier with them. The sound design works in such a way that, when I first tried them, I kept checking my phone to make sure the sound wasn't just coming from its speaker.
That was honestly ideal--I often want to listen to podcasts and things through my phone speaker, but don't out of courtesy to my housemates. I have another pair of noise canceling earbuds which I love, but those can make it hard to hear when someone knocks at the door or my dog needs to go out, etc. I also find it far more comfortable to do things like eat or brush my teeth while wearing the ultra open earbuds--there's none of that sensation that comes from hearing your own chewing sounds too loudly.
Of course, where these really shine is outdoors. Wearing them on a hike or bike ride is perfection. You can hear the sounds of nature (or the sounds of another bike rider asking to let them pass), all while the outdoor sounds stay shockingly well-balanced with the music/ebook sounds coming through the earbuds. Though I wouldn't necessarily advise wearing these by a busy highway, for instance, as they can certainly be overpowered by loud enough outdoor sounds!
I find them surprisingly comfortable. The fit takes some getting used to, as it doesn't feel very secure at first. But I've worn these while jumping rope, bike riding, and jogging, and they've never gotten close to falling out.
One surprising use-case that I've found for them is to listen to white-noise in bed (rain sounds, for instance). The spatial sound features make it feel like you're "there," and add to the overall soothing atmosphere.
That's not to say that I don't have my issues, most of which come down to connectivity. They simply don't work well when paired to multiple devices--I can't get them to play my phone music unless they're connected only to my phone. I also had a strange hiccup where the sound wasn't playing out of the right earbud, and I had to reset them.
I also find their push-button controls to be a bit awkward. The button itself is great (I much prefer a clicky button to the soft tap functionality of many earbuds), but I'm not a fan of the "double-press to skip ahead, triple-press to skip backward" kind of control scheme. At the very least, I'd appreciate the ability to have more customization over the controls and which button does what.
I'll also note that these are pricey. I have many friends who I think would enjoy these earbuds (particularly friends with sensory issues) but it's hard to recommend them at the current price point. And, like I said, I got them at a reduced price through a trade-in, so it's hard to say if I would feel that they were worth it at full price.
I'm giving them 5 stars, but my feeling is that they're more of a 4.5 star product (rounded up). I love them a lot, but there are some hiccups in their functionality (that I expect Bose will iron out with future firmware updates and the like).
All that being said...I'm extremely happy with my purchase. The ultra open earbuds really feel "revolutionary," while still being extremely practical. I was worried that they would be too niche for me to use much. I certainly didnt expect to reach for them over my noise-canceling earbuds. But I've found myself using them extremely regularly. The sound quality is amazing, and somewhat mimics the experience of listening to music through a multiroom speaker setup (though I wouldn't expect these to replace my speakers any time soon). They're a joy to experience, and they add some peace of mind in knowing that I'm not missing anything in the world around me.

Definitely more Pros than Cons!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my “ sonic earrings” as my nephew calls them for about a month. I immediately was blown away by the sound quality! I kept looking around to see if it was really just myself that could hear what was honestly like a concert experience.
I do get frustrated when they do not auto connect to my phone and I have to remove them and the-add them, but not enough to deduct a star.
One thing- the fit could be better. Maybe I have a wider ear than expected? I also have a piercing on the cartilage in one of my ears, and although it’s a flat-back piece of jewelry, and very small, it seems to affect the fit. I do find I am regularly repositioning that side for better sound.
The silicone case isn’t worth the extra $$. It slips around making it hard to secure closure, and attracts every piece of dust, dirt, animal hair. I have been shopping for a better off-brand cover simply for the ability to attach a small handle.
The color is GORGEOUS!

Surprised me! (In a great way)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds surprised me in a great way. The sound is amazing for being open - on top of that the fit of these are unique but is so comfortable. It feels like you don't even have anything on your ears + they look like cool accessories. Going through your day-to-day life with these on, you're able to focus on the outside world while playing music or a podcast. Would recommend it to everyone. Oh and they're great for being outside running or hiking. You can hear your surroundings!

Great earbuds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought myself a pair of these a few months ago and was talking to my cousin about them. She had been using the ones apple makes and didn’t care for them so I let her try mine on and she loved them. I wound up buying her a pair for her birthday and she said she uses them constantly. Very good quality earbuds that we both highly recommend!

Fit, stay in all types of ears, sound.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] By farrrrr the best ear buds I have ever worn. They are will worth the price. They are so comfortable that I forget I am wearing them. No more falling out of my ears.(I'm old and my ears are bigger and have lost alot of elasticity, like an old rubber band. The Bose earbuds hang in there. Also can hear people and cars approaching me. Of course, great Bose sound. Will they last? I have 2 sets of Bose 901 speakers bought 1971 and still sound great. Enough said, they are great,great, one will never regret buying them.

You get what you pay for! Money well spent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A coworker got these and came in showing everyone at work. She passed them around and let everyone try them out. I have had a pair of Shokz for a few years but as soon as I tried these I had to have them! I told her she had to tell my husband I needed these. She kept on him all week that he needed to get these for me…. Obviously I now have a pair and I absolutely will not go back to Shokz! These are amazing and I can wear them without it bothering my Tracy’s piercing and can still hear what’s going on around me at work! Love love love!!!!
