Great daily earbuds for casual listening

These earbuds fit the exact opposite use case of closed/noise canceling earbuds. Being able to go through all my daily tasks and activities with background music while still being able to hear everything around me is a breath of fresh air. The open-ear design really does make a difference since all other earbuds have some degree of passive noise cancellation so listening to music and hearing a friend's voice an all its clarity is a pretty cool experience.
Sound quality is surprisingly very good. I thought having an open-ear design would hinder it's sound quality greatly, but it still sounds very good to me. I usually have these at a lower/medium volume so it's almost like a cafe setting of having music constantly in the background while I talk with friends or coworkers. Once you put these at a louder setting it does lose slightly lose it's privacy, but the details and fullness of the sound really comes through.
The fit and comfort is a bit of a learned experience. Since it 'bands around' your ear rather than going in your ear, you really need to find a comfortable sweet spot. When these are resting all the way down on my ear against my earlobe then I'll start feeling discomfort fairly quickly, but if I move it up on the middle area of my ear then I can leave it there for hours. The comfort at this sweet spot is wonderful because combined with it's weightless feel, most of the time I forget it's there. I tried jogging and playing tennis with these on and it surprisingly stayed on. It took a moment to trust that they weren't going to fall out, but eventually I was able to relax and just enjoy my exercise listening to music and bantering my friends at the same time.

Great Product

I own Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and have been using them when commuting or exercising. They are comfortable but after a long while, my ears would feel a bit sore. Don't get me wrong, I still think these Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are great noise cancellation earbuds.
Then came Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. These open earbuds are very comfortable in my ears. I was worried they would not be secure inside my ear and would fall off when I am running, but surprisingly they fit securely and very comfortably in my ears. The quality of the sound is great as well.
Next upgrade - noise cancellation open earbuds. But I don't mind the current one does not have noise cancellation functionality because I usually turn off the noise cancellation functionality when commuting or walking so I am aware of my surrounding.

Ive been using my new open earbuds for a few weeks now and I am really enjoying them. They are great when I am at the gym and need to talk. It’s so nice to not have to pause my music and take out my earbud to have a conversation. I also really like the fact that I can be aware of my surroundings when I am out jogging or walking on the street. They are so comfortable you may forget you even have them on and the sound is really clear!

Great Sound in a Little Package

Seeing photos of these earbuds before I received them, I was unsure how exactly they fit in your ear. Once I received them and took them out of the box, it became more clear. I downloaded the app and paired them to my phone in seconds, and then went through the various settings to find my preferences. They are true to the Bose name in that they provide excellent audio quality. I like that they are smaller than other earbuds and don't actually go into your eye like an earplug. I was able to sit at my desk at work and have music playing through them and still have conversations with people at normal levels. I was able to hear them clearly and I wasn't raising my voice to hear myself over the headphones. The battery life was far better than the other set of earbuds that I have and it was nice that I didn't have to stop and charge them during the day. The first time I put them on, my ear was a little sore because of how they wrap around your ear, but I adjusted them and didn't experience any more soreness. Overall, a great product!

I got these in the past month and they are hands down the earbuds I have used so far. The sound quality is superior to other earbuds in my opinion. I definitely won’t be using any other in the future. They are also super comfortable and have great battery life.

Have had these for about a month. They are light weight and comfortable on my ears. I really like the immersion sound. I use them 3-5 hours on average a day and like being able to hear around me when I need to. Will be interested to see how they hold up over time with the hinge design.

I bought my Bose Ulta Open Earbuds two weeks ago to replace my Bose Open Sport around ear. I love the upgrade, sound is perfect. I definitely recommend to anyone who can not wear anything inside of ear.
