Bought these for my husband who is a runner and he said they are great! Stays in place and sounds great!! I got them on a sale day so the price was worth it!
These are amazing. I don’t like sticking things in my ears, so buds have always been annoying. These are so amazing, comfortable, and the sound is incredible. I also enjoy being able to hear things happening around me while listening. I will buy again for sure!
Way better than I expected. I have tried a bunch of different earbuds in the last year, trying to find a really good pair. No matter how much I spent, they had problems. I finally gave up and bought the Bose ultra open when they were on sale. The way they fit is extremely comfortable. The sound quality is typical high level Bose. I wasted a lot of money before buying these, but I'm glad I finally did.These are the very best open ear buds i've ever had.
I am debating on whether or not to return these earbuds. I love the sound quality. I love the aspect of open ear. I do not enjoy the fit. It hurts my ears after about an hour, and I often have to adjust the earbuds to hear different formats everything else about the earbuds are superior to all the earbuds I’ve ever owned, but the fit is just not working for me. When I need isolation it is not an option with open earbuds. I would really like to have in earbuds that enhance ambient sound with the sound quality that Bose provides only Bose. I want the enhancement of ambient sound because I have a 25% hearing deficit due to my career as a first responder.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We completely understand your concern. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the sound quality and the open-ear design of the earbuds. However, if you're experiencing discomfort after extended use, you may want to try adjusting the earbuds to ensure they are being worn properly. Here's a helpful guide that may assist you: https://bose.life/4fcrpua
While the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are designed to keep you connected to your surroundings, they do not provide the same level of noise isolation as traditional in-ear earbuds when you want to reduce external noise. If comfort and fit continue to be an issue, you may want to consider one of our in-ear earbud models that offers CustomTune technology, Adjustable EQ, and Awareness Mode. These features can help you stay aware of your environment while enjoying the premium sound quality Bose is known for, along with a more secure and personalized fit.
