Using these earbuds is like strolling through a personal sound field that consistently stays put, no matter the activity; be it in the gym, on the farm, in the city or at home. This design brings a sense of freedom; I can be fully immersed in my surroundings while enjoying my own soundtrack. It’s the blend of awareness and private listening that sets these earbuds apart. They combine snug fit, stellar sound, and the ability to keep me connected to the world around me in a sleek, refined design. Their robust build and intuitive functionality enrich my daily life, making every moment enjoyable with a backdrop of my favorite tunes. I’m genuinely impressed with these earbuds and their ability to deliver a private, yet open listening experience. They’re a testament to what modern audio tech can achieve, blending high-quality sound with real-world practicality.

Amazing Sound and battery life!

These little beauties are my new go to buds for moving and grooving. The motion setting in the immersive audio is a game changer whether I’m exercising or just doing chores around the house off the” Honey do list”. The openness I was unsure of at first thinking some of the audio might get list in the world around me because I’m used to my noise canceling Bose Quiet Comfort headphones, but after a day of use that uncertainty vanished into the world around me. The sound is rich, full, deep and encompassing. A home run! The battery life is simply amazing. Only recharged the case once after initial charge in almost 4 weeks I think, apple AirPods wouldn’t make it through a single week I know from experience. My only dislike and thus my reason for not giving 5 stars is the telephone calls weren’t always perfect. And if I wasn’t already wearing them, which in retrospect, why wouldn’t I have them on at all times because they are just that comfortable that you can actually do this, but if I wasn’t already wearing them and the phone rang I couldn’t necessarily get them on and in place very quickly to answer the call. Everything else I give a 10 out of 5 stars! I’m so in love with my new open ear buds and you will be too.

Headphones for Living

Embarking on my journey with the Bose Ultra open earbuds has been nothing short of delightful. As a resident of NYC, these earbuds have seamlessly integrated into my lifestyle, becoming an indispensable companion during my travels across the city. Their open design not only keeps me aware of my surroundings but also ensures a level of comfort that traditional earbuds simply cannot match. Whether navigating the streets with walking directions or simply immersing myself in city life, these earbuds are my go-to choice. While they may lack noise cancellation, they excel in providing a heightened sense of situational awareness, making them perfect for my daily commutes. As someone with multiple ear piercings, I initially had concerns about the fit, but to my delight, they proved to be both secure and comfortable. I would advise others with similar concerns to ensure compatibility with their piercings for optimal comfort. Moreover, the battery life has exceeded my expectations, offering prolonged usage without frequent recharges. In essence, the Bose Ultra open earbuds have not only met but surpassed my expectations, enhancing my auditory experience while seamlessly complementing my urban lifestyle.

Simply Amazing Ultra Open Earbuds!!

I received these Bose Ultra Open Earbuds as a gift and I am impressed! The open ear concept is game changing and innovative! Sound quality is extremely important to me and these do not disappoint. The Immersive setting literally reminds me of surround sound system sitting in your ears. These earbuds are lightweight and did not cause me any pain especially after wearing them many hours each day. The unique design hold on to your ears without any problem. I have a very active lifestyle which includes running, mountain biking and cardio workouts and was skeptical about these holding up and not falling out unexpectedly. Once you put these in your ears and find the right spot, they don’t move! The only time one fell out is when I came home and my dog excitedly licked my face and ears and knocked one out.
There is no On/Off button on these. Once you put them in, they are technically “On” all the time. If your phone isn’t being used, they go into a standby mode until something happens (phone call, text message, email notification or any other type of notification) and then like magic, they are on and ready to work. The Ultra Open Earbuds have an amazing battery life on their own and have lasted me a full day of use (talking on the phone, streaming music and movies) without needing a charge in the middle of the day. When I go to bed, I drop them in the charging case and repeat the process again the next day. I’ve gone for 5 days without the need to recharge the case.
Again, these are an open ear design and allow you to be consciously aware of your surroundings. This is important especially if you are out in the public listening to music or talking to someone on the phone you can still hear what’s happening around you. I may have attended several company meetings while wearing these and still listening to my music and nobody around me could hear the music playing even when the volume was actually quite high…. During several phone calls I was sitting next to a colleague and he could not hear the caller I was talking to. I turned the volume all the way up and he leaned into me to see if he could hear the conversation and could only hear minor noise; not necessarily hearing and actual words. This is important to me since I spend 8-9 hours a day on the phone. I can still hear me colleagues talking to me while I’m on the phone.
I am not new, nor am I an amature to Bose Products. I have their original Bose BT2 Bluetooth headset, a really old pair of QC-3s (about 14 years old that my daughter is still using), QC-35 headphones (8 years old), the Headphones 700 I bought myself for Christmas, the Soundbar 500 and Soundbar 700 (with surround speakers and bass module), and several Bluetooth speakers. EVERYTHING still works as good as it did when it was brand new.
With that being said, these do not disappoint and are truly amazing earbuds & hold up to the Bose name, quality and cosmetically aesthetic designs!

Great daily earbuds for casual listening

These earbuds fit the exact opposite use case of closed/noise canceling earbuds. Being able to go through all my daily tasks and activities with background music while still being able to hear everything around me is a breath of fresh air. The open-ear design really does make a difference since all other earbuds have some degree of passive noise cancellation so listening to music and hearing a friend's voice an all its clarity is a pretty cool experience.
Sound quality is surprisingly very good. I thought having an open-ear design would hinder it's sound quality greatly, but it still sounds very good to me. I usually have these at a lower/medium volume so it's almost like a cafe setting of having music constantly in the background while I talk with friends or coworkers. Once you put these at a louder setting it does lose slightly lose it's privacy, but the details and fullness of the sound really comes through.
The fit and comfort is a bit of a learned experience. Since it 'bands around' your ear rather than going in your ear, you really need to find a comfortable sweet spot. When these are resting all the way down on my ear against my earlobe then I'll start feeling discomfort fairly quickly, but if I move it up on the middle area of my ear then I can leave it there for hours. The comfort at this sweet spot is wonderful because combined with it's weightless feel, most of the time I forget it's there. I tried jogging and playing tennis with these on and it surprisingly stayed on. It took a moment to trust that they weren't going to fall out, but eventually I was able to relax and just enjoy my exercise listening to music and bantering my friends at the same time.
