The good: comfort, sound, ease of use The bad: phone calls sound tinnyand their voice is muffled. Increasing volume does not help. I thought that mine were defective, but a friend bought a pair and said that he quit using them (as I have) for phone calls. Overall: love them for everything except for calls.
These BOSE, don’t fit properly, I have “large” ears, and the “snug” fit is almost non-existent. The quality sounds are the best, as the craftsmanship is why I purchase BOSE products.

Thanks for your review. I am sorry to hear about your experience with your Bose ultra open earbuds. The Ultra Open Earbuds were designed from the ground up to give you a soundtrack to your life: to let you enjoy your music without blocking your ears, in a shape so comfortable you can almost forget you’re wearing any earbuds at all.
They’re great for listening to music, but the quality quality when you’re on a phone call is terrible. It makes me want to return them.

Hello, it's really great to hear these are great when listening to music. These should be great for calls as well; firmware update 4.0.22 was released to bring enhancements to your far-end call performance via improved voice pickup. Try installing this update (or later) via the Bose app, and see if the issue improves.

I have a number of Bose products and am happy with them. I wanted these for exercise and just walking around town with the dog. They are excellent. They re so light and easy to control. They don’t fall off and I really hardly know they are even on my ears. These are just what I was looking for.
I bought this a month ago and here are the pros -it does not fall during working out -sound is good but can be better considering the price tag -though it’s not noise cancelling it still does a good job
Cons- -case cover is not well built. -sound quality can be better.Compared to the other earbuds I used from Bose in past ,this one does not have the same sound quality
Overall a good buy if you want an earbud which does not fall off and fits well. Decent sound & longevity (case can charge your buds in 10 minute )
