Listen to music and hear your surroundings also.

These earbuds are fabulous! They are for people who want to hear music and be able to hear their surroundings. I ride bikes with my wife and she talks a lot. Now I can hear what she is saying and occasionally listen to music. Hooray!!!
Have been using them for a few weeks now, and I am not sure I want to keep them. The good- and best thing about them is the comfort quality. I don’t feel a thing and actually forget I have them on. The ok- Music sounds pretty good once you get them on in the best way possible. The bad- and ugly..- using them for phone calls is rough. People on the other end of the call are constantly saying I sound horrible. I keep having to take them off so that people hear me well. Maybe this technology can be improved upon in future models but this one doesn’t cut it for me. I would have passed on them if I knew about the downsides.

I'm happy to hear you're finding your Ultra Open Earbuds very comfortable to wear, thanks to the feather-light grip around your ear! As you said, experimenting a little with position will also help you get the best out of them when listening to music. If people on calls are having trouble hearing you, make sure you've upgraded to the latest firmware version of the earbuds, as we recently released an update (4.0.22) to improve our customers' call experiences. Also make sure nothing is blocking the mic holes on the earbuds. If issues on calls persist, please contact our support team for further assistance: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support
I give 3 stars, because they are really comfortable, but they don't sound loud, I was disappointed, more from this brand

I'm happy you find the Ultra Open Earbuds comfortable to wear! If you're not getting the volume you'd expect, make sure the volume is turned up enough in your mobile device, and in the app you're using, if applicable. Also make sure your earbuds are being worn optimally, see here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?productId=01t8c00000OlcI5AAJ&articleId=ka08c000001g7vPAAQ&language=en_US.

They're not very loud unless you have both buds in, also everyone can hear them. Not the quality I expect from bose.

I had such high expectations for these because of brand name and high price. I love how comfortable they are. I don't even feel them and can wear all day. Sound is good but microphone is terrible. Anyone I speak to says I sound far away or like I'm in a bucket. Will have to return them
