I chose these because I have daith and cartilage piercings so sometimes ear buds are a problem. These were great! No issue at all. Sound quality: definitely Bose, A+ Takes a minute to adjust and get used to the feel of wearing at the bottom of the ear. I keep expecting them to fall off and they don’t even come close. After a while, I don’t notice them AS MUCH, but I know they are there. Buttons are easy to control. Sometimes one bud goes out for no reason and reconnects— I’m hoping this is not a later concern. Holds a charge well. I will really put them to the test in my next marathon next week- that will determine if they are a keeper. I like the concept and look, but I use them for running distance. Will update this review if I can without creating a new one.
Sounds great fits good, my main issue is that it cuts in and out sometimes having to remove one of the ear pieces or both to reconnect. For the cost the sound is on point and looks great just disappointed with the connection/drop issue.
Purchased for me as a Mother's Day gift and early birthday gift.
Pros: long battery life Cons: low volume on calls, limited notifications for my ipho e

I'm happy you've been enjoying the long battery life! If you're experiencing low volume on the Ultra Open Earbuds when on a call, try installing firmware update 4.0.22 (or later).
Firmware update 4.0.22 was released to bring enhancements to your far-end call performance, via improved voice pickup. See if the issue improves once you've installed the latest update via the Bose app.

I've had these for a few weeks now, and overall, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. These are good for working around the house and working in the garage when there are other people around and you want to be aware of your surroundings. These obviously struggle in high noise situations such as cutting the grass and on an airplane. I did make the unfortunate mistake of using these to travel with.... They were actually great as I was navigating the airport and going through security... Once we got on the airplane they were almost worthless. Even at full volume I could not hear the movie I was watching. I do like the lightweight feature... I often forget that they're even there. It almost feels like everyone around you should be hearing the same music that you are.
I love the fact that these don’t have to go into the ear! But they don’t seem to be as loud as thought they would be compared to the other Bose products
I bought this two weeks ago and I do not have any regrets. The fact that I am able to hear my surroundings and enjoy quality sound tops it all. In fact I love this better the quiet comfort.
