They work ok. Sound is not full and my ears are normal size. If i really press and direct the sound its great but just cuffed on the ear it is not so robust. Cuff feels great but the sound just doesn’t get to the ear they way i thought it would. It does what they say and you can hear stuff around you while listening to music when you are walking or doing light stuff but i went biking and did a faster pace for 20 miles and had to have the volume all the way up and it was pretty quiet actually. I am probably going to return because it just doesn’t seem to be worth the hype. I bought the 3 year warranty too so Not cheap. Not my favorite BOSE product and I have many.
The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds deliver exactly the sound quality you would expect from Bose, with deep lows and crisp, clear upper notes. They are also surprisingly comfortable, offering excellent weight distribution and just the right amount of pressure to remain secure without feeling restrictive.
Unfortunately, while many customers may find them comfortable enough for all-day use, they may not be a good fit for people with larger ears. There simply is not enough material between the speaker and the portion that wraps around the back of the ear. As a result, the speaker may not sit deeply enough in the ear to produce the best possible sound, which noticeably affects volume and overall audio quality.
The wireless charging case works great, but I wish wireless charging were included with the standard case rather than requiring a separate purchase.
Overall, these are thoughtfully designed earbuds with impressive sound and comfort, but the fit did not work well for my ears. I will be sticking with the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, which provide a much richer sound and a better overall fit for me.
Absolutely LOVE these open earbuds. I can use them on my daily walk and still hear the birds sing snd any car coming up from behind! Not to mention the lovely blue color. Would recommend them to anyone.
I wear them while I'm at work. The battery on the right side is done in 4hrs the left side makes just after 6hrs. That's inconsistent and way too short for a full charge. It's a shame because the sound is amazing. I bought the beats pro at the same time and they are still going the next day after 12hrs. The beats pro sounds terrible after listening to the boses

Replacement set as originals developed a mic issue. Absolutely love the open ear buds - super comfy and sound quality is brilliant. Only downside is original colour out of stock and I wasn't willing to wait any longer so opted for another colour which I'm not so enamoured with.
This ultra open ear buds just fit my lifestyle and not only it looks nice, it fits my ears well. The sound is great as well as the features. Battery holds up well and music is clear. I do not have any regrets with this purchase. Bose always never disappoints.
