Rated 5 out of 5 by from So comfortable, great sound, private. These earbuds are GREAT! They are so comfortable, I forget I’m wearing them when I don’t have music on. They stay on securely too! Great sound. Wonderful when you need to hear what’s going on around you. No one else can hear what you’re listening to. Easy controls too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Snug fit. Great sound! I bought these about a month ago, and I am in love. The main reason for getting these is because it's hard to find ear buds that don't go in your ear, but that sound quality isn't compromised. I have very small ears, and normal ear buds that go in your ear tend to cause a lot of pain. These just hang out snugly on your ear, and the sound quality is fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great "in-earbuds" that aren't in-ear 🤔 I really prefer in-earbuds to headphones, but even after I got some foam tips for better comfort - my ears still get "swamp ear" and get irritated after long use. I finally decided to see if there was a better solution and stumbled upon these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, which seemed like they could be the answer. After about a week or so of using them, I have been pleasantly surprised at how well they perform. They are by far the weirdest pair of earbuds I have ever owned, and I was considering buying the Sony LinkBuds but I was really hoping for something different like bone conduction rather than in the ear (which seem to be my main problem). I also was hoping that I'd be able to wear them for longer than my in-ear pair, which definitely is the case. Comparatively I'd have to take my in-ears out every so often to clean my ears as with these the only issue is my ear tends to get a tad irritated after long-use but it also could just be my ears getting used to something being there, hard to say right now until I've had them for longer but I just adjust them slightly up or down when I feel discomfort. I actually got these as my "gaming" earbuds, which after turning off "Immersion Mode" and using "Stereo Mode" I feel it's best unless you're listening to music it's just too bassy for regular stuff in my humble opinion (still sounds great, YMMV). Battery life has been a lot better than my other pair of earbuds which would die after ~4-6 hours, so far the lowest I've gotten these have been around 40%. I'm also not too sure how fast they charge, since they live on my desk and I charge them overnight but when I first charged them it took about half hour to fully charge from ~60%. It's a bit difficult to figure out what the optimal spot is for these earbuds to perform their best, I believe for me at least when they're at their lowest on/in your ear it seems to be the best. I'll randomly check that they're evenly pushed into my ears and not falling out from time to time, but generally they're pretty snug fit that don't move much once on. As far as "noise cancellation" or "passive hearing" goes, they do a pretty good job at blocking out sound when turned up I generally have mine around 60% at that's loud enough for me - I can still hear around me, if need be which I like not having to take off my earbuds in between sessions to multitask. There was a recent firmware update that adds auto-volume, which increases the volume in louder environments which is kind of "noise cancellation" in its simplest form. You're also able to control the earbuds pretty well with just the button on either earbud, play, pause, skip track, reverse track, toggle immersive mode or you can customize the shortcut which is nice. I have left as cycle thru still/motion/off immersion, and right as toggle immersion but there's also "switch devices" and "access your voice assistant" as options. I look forward to future updates and possibly v2 of this product if it performs well, a great niche product for an oversaturated market. I would recommend trying these out if you're at all interested, the price is a bit hard to swallow but they may become your favorite pair of earbuds 🫠

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Breakout product I always hated earbuds because they hurt my ears and was happy to see this product. Of course, the sound quality is excellent as you expect from any Bose product. Bonus: I read that it can be used with other Bose Smartspeakers. Planning to use it with my Soundbar to watch TV.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful buds! I bought these about two weeks ago, and so far, I’m enjoying wearing them while I work, exercise, and relax. They are comfortable around the ears, like they are not even there. However, I do get a little irritated with the lapses in sound some times or skip through my podcasts without reason. I wish the shortcuts were easier to remember, but that’s my fault.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing earbuds for all ears! These earbuds are phenomenal for what they're intended to do. Setup out the box is quite simple with the Bose app and pairing. Getting the hang of putting the earbuds in your ears is also very easy after a couple tries. The sound is superb for what their intended usage is. These are open earbuds so there's no noise canceling, it's meant to have you listen to your music in good quality while being aware of your surroundings. This results in also a comfortable fit where you don't need an earbud tip shoved into your ear. The charging case holds enough charge where I don't need to worry about it when I leave my house. I recently went on a trip to another state and had the battery last me the whole trip granted I had moderate usage. The app Bose has developed for their wearables is also very easy and simple. I can tune the earbuds, update them, and turn features on and off on the fly. It reminds me of most wearable apps that make everything easy for you to use. Customizing sound is the best part about the app because you can fine tune it to your liking with many presets available to you as well. I definitely recommend this product to anyone if it's within their budget!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I Can Hear Everything These earbuds are my third pair of earbuds from Bose. They are my favorite because they are the most comfortable. It would've been hard to make these noise cancelling, so I am happy to have the open earbuds, which allows me to listen to my phone and my 2 year old when he's calling me verbally. The others are comfortable, but they slide out. I have naturally waxy ears and these hold on very well, where my other ones slide out after a while. The sound is amazing also. I like them, but they might not be for everyone. The charging case is fine. It allows me to not having to plug up my earbuds every day. The battery life is great. I don’t have to plug it up everyday. I plug it up once a week. I’m already familiar with the app since these are my third pair. The customizations are great. You can still block out the works with these. The only dislike I have is that to update them you have to remove the earbuds and once the update is downloaded. You put them back in, which makes them possible to lose or damage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just what I wanted. I have a number of Bose products and am happy with them. I wanted these for exercise and just walking around town with the dog. They are excellent. They re so light and easy to control. They don’t fall off and I really hardly know they are even on my ears. These are just what I was looking for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love them! Had these earbuds for a few weeks. Was a little skeptical because how they fit. But I love them. I didn’t like the idea of having something pushed inside my ears but these feel good. And the sound is awesome…as always with Bose.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds I love them! Several months ago I purchased the QuietComfort Earbuds, they were the most comfortable to date but, when out and about I could only wear one earbud at a time due to the effective noise cancelling. I did not want to buy a second pair so soon, but with the 90 day trial I gave it a try. I can now take my morning walk and listen to a book or podcast and still hear the birds sing. Bonus, I love it that they sit outside the ear canal, so much more comfortable. I don't usually write reviews but am so happy with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds, that I wanted to share the good news,

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Another great Bose product. I purchased these because I don’t like traditional ear buds that are lodged in the ear canal. Typical Bose sound with rich base and clarity of sound. Perfect for physical activity, the stay securely in place. I am able to interact with the world around me and hold conversations in the open air mode. Full immersion a simple touch of the ear bud transitions to full immersion for a complete Bose sound experience. Easy placement and removal. Very comfortable, when I am not playing music I have forgotten that I even had them on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ultra Open Earbuds I love the ultra open earbuds! I don’t like earbuds that plug into the ear canal, very uncomfortable. The Bose open earbuds don’t plug into the ear canal. So, they are much more comfortable, and I can listen to music for as long as I want without any discomfort. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable and sound great I'll admit, I was curious but skeptical about "open ear" earbuds. But Bose has NAILED IT with the Ultra Open Earbuds. These things are a revelation for anyone who wants high-quality audio without completely isolating themselves. Here's why I love them: The sound is mind-blowing: These aren't your tinny, bass-less open earbuds. Bose delivers surprisingly rich, full sound that feels like magic trickery. Vocals are clear, instruments have depth – it's way better than expected. Surroundings stay audible: This is the whole point. The open design lets me enjoy my tunes while still hearing traffic around me when I'm running. Comfy as heck: I forget these are even in my ears. Way lighter than in-ear buds, with a soft, flexible hook that doesn't irritate. If you want the best music experience while keeping your ears open to the world, I don't think there's a better option. Lit bit pricey? Yes, but worth every penny for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Comfortable!! I have never had the chance to try an open ear earbud before and it was definitely an interesting experience. The fit of the Bose open earbuds is so light and so comfortable you almost forget they are there. The sound quality is good for this type of earbud. I love how easy it is to switch modes at the push of a button. I had no issues using these earbuds while running or doing other gym activities. Battery life was really good. I was able to stream podcasts, take calls and listen to music for a few days before needing to charge the case. You do have to make sure the contacts on the earbud are placed properly in the case. Otherwise one will charge and the other may not. My one con is the Bose App. I often find it very laggy when switching my devices and sometimes it doesn’t connect properly. I hope they provide updates on this soon. Other than that when it functions, having the ability to customize sound is great and the app is fairly user friendly. I definitely would recommend this type of bud if your looking for something with great sound that won’t fall out of your ear when your active. I do wish that along with the immersion it had the same capabilities as the other Bose Ultra line but it’s not a deal breaker these are pretty amazing!
