So far I like these a lot. I have hearing aids and these work with those. I.had to take a little more time getting the outer ear Bose in the best position for the best sound.
Not for active user. I lost one ear piece with in a week of occasional wearing and there is no replacement for it. I do not recommend it!

I have tried 3 different earbuds. Apple, Raycon and Bose. I don’t know why I ever thought someone else could beat Bose. I love these open air earbuds. They work perfectly everyday. Charge fast. Beautiful sound with both audiobooks and streaming music. I love them. My third Bose product since 2010. All still going strong.
I'm happy with my bose ultra open earbuds; they are comfortable and don't fall out. They have good sound, although some external noise does leak in because of their open design.
I bought these because the Samsung live buds are no longer manufactured. I liked the open ear concept but I also liked the fit. Unfortunately the only downfall I have is that when I am on a phone call it is very hard for people to hear me. People say it sounds like I am far away and they can hear a lot of my background noise which with my Live buds that was never an issue. For as much as I use them to make phone calls I am really thinking about returning these as they would not be good for the gym which is where I took my Live buds and brought these to work.

Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback, we’re glad you like the open-ear design, but we’re sorry to hear about the call quality concerns. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have two microphones in each earbud, and properly wearing them can greatly improve call quality performance. Blocked microphones may cause poor sound quality for the listener on the other end of the call. Please ensure the microphones are not obstructed by headwear and that the earbuds are positioned correctly on each ear.
