I LOVE LOVE LOVE these open earbuds! I purchased the light blue in early 2025. At first I had to adjust to hearing my music and having the ability to hold a discussion at the same time. But once I realized how often I was wearing them and carrying them with me everywhere. I decided to purchase one for my pocketbook, bedside, and livingroom. So yes, I have 3 open earbuds, quiet comfort earbuds, and the quiet comfort headphones. I guess you would say I'm a little overboard. Bose products are my #1 go to for speakers and headphones. The sandstone color is beautiful just like violet.
This is my second pair. I bought them so I can leave my white ones at work. I've been using them for almost 2 years and I have no regrets. They are so comfortable that I forget that I have them on. The sound is so full that in the right room, it sounds like there is a great speaker playing for endow to hear. The battery life is very good too.
These contain all the quality and depth of sound I:be come to expect from Bose. I've tried multiple earbuds (wired and wireless and I continually had problems with keeping them in place if I as much as took a deep breath. These ultra earbuds stay in place with any activity I have taken on in the 2 months I've had them. I have had a couple of occasions where I had turned off the my music on my phone and didn't realize the earbuds were still on until someone asked me what I was listening to. They're so light and intrusive that I still had them on. As always, great job Bose!!
Looks nice and great concept but poor fit for my ear. Can't get the right positioning/fit in my ear. Also pinches my outer ear lobe.

We hope this information helps address your concern and allows you to enjoy the full benefits of your Bose Ultra Open Earbuds.
First I express mailed these to me and they took a week to get here. I bought them because I have always loved the quality sound of bose speakers but these keep disconnecting and whenever someone calls it's crackly sounding. No one can understand me. The microphone is terrible. I spend a lot of time talking on my phone with ear buds because my hands are busy. It's very important to me that they work for that as well. I might actually have to go back and purchase new earbuds. Which makes me sad because the speakers are true bose quality but the rest is dollar store quality.
