They work good for music and podcasts. Phone call they are terrible. If there is any background noise you can not hear the person and they can not hear you very well. The mic picks up too much background noice when on phone calls .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had these for about a month love them so much. The case seems to stay charged and keeps the buds charged. The sound quality is great! I also like that I can hear what’s going on around me and still listen privately!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality sound. They do not get loud. They are very easy to loose. You can barely feel their presence. If you wear a hat and forget you have them on, you can loose and not know they are missing.
People never hear me during a phone call. It feels light on the ear but the reception during a phone call is often terrible that I disconnect and use the phone directly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They're so comfortable that I've jumped in the shower with them twice after my workout because I forgot they were on!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the ultra open earbuds as a replacement to my quiet comfort II I really l Ike the open earbuds. The in ear buds always made my ear hurt and the open ones do not the sound quality is up to Bose standards and they are very comfortable to wear. I had problems with the quiet comfort earbuds connecting and staying connected these open earbuds connect easily and never lose connection
I got these as a replacement headphones for another pair of in-ears and wow... these are WILD. The sound is odd for about 1 minute and then your ears adjust(or the headphones do) to crisp audio. I love them. Absolutely comfortable.
