It is good for playing sports but there is a difference with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and this one The intensity of the sound is less than Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds because this one are open If I have known this I would have not bought this one but theBose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds The speaker (Bose Ultra Open Earbuds )may not lie close enough to the ear canal ( this depends if you have big ears or not) so the intensity of the sound is not good
I bought these at the beginning of the summer for the express purpose of wearing them during my walk (all outside/sidewalks) to and from work. I have the Boae over the ear headphones and they're so good at canceling noise, I almost got run over by a firetruck with full sirens. BOTH ARE AWESOME. Since I purchased these with the intent to hear my music AND the environment around me...they are legitimately perfect for what I needed and wanted.
They connect easily and reliably, have good quality audio, and fairly intuitive touch features. I love how they give me the sound I want, while still letting me hear all around me. Also good for the office, as I can wear these AND interact with my coworkers and still hear everything. Also...they look cool. Give this librarian the exact low-key, sci-fi vibe I like.
At the end of the day, these are cool, exactly what I need, and I dread the day I have to replace them because I worry there won't be anything as perfect as these.
Had it for several months. Good sound, not much bass. I got open style so I wouldn't have hearing loss in my old age. They are comfortable and do not fall off when I'm working out or running. I'm able to ride a bike or run and still be able to hear outside noise. You will not be able to listen to music if there is a lot of ambient noise such as an airplane or at the gym if there's very loud music already playing overhead. I am not sure if mine is a dud but I have not been able to do any phone calls with the device. I can hear them but People on the other line cannot hear me when I'm on a zoom call or phone call. Hopefully version 2 is better

This is a very comfortable open earbud where you will forget it's on your ear it is so comfortable. The sound quality is very respectable for an open ear bud. There's an EQ in the app to adjust to your comfort. This woukd be a 5 star we're it not for the call quality. Anytime someone would call, I would he able to hear them just fine, but they would not be able to hear me clearly. They said I cut in and out. That I would sound choppy. I would have to disconnect from the Bluetooth and use my phone instead.
Asides from that, this ear bud is great for runs compared to full headphones since it will not get hot on your ear.
9/10 I would recommend this to others asides from the call quality.
I have been using the ultra open for a little bit. For comfort and ease of use at work on constrution sites i would give these a 10 out of 10. I have had a few times where they have waivered with signal with the phone in my pocket. The sound is great when positioned properly. Talking on them sucks. Everyone keeps saying "can you repeat that". Hence the reason I couldn't give it 5 out of 5.
Really comfy way of wearing earphones. I can't use in-ear earbuds anymore. It's all thanks to Ultra Open earbuds. Feels like I'm not wearing anything. I call them "Bose Earrings" - That nickname is fitting.
