I got these for Christmas and I love them! The sound is amazing and they’re very comfortable on the ears! I had an old pair of Bose earbuds and was lost when they broke! These are a great replacement! I also like that I can move far from the case and still get a signal!
Didn’t enjoy,phone call quality SUCKS, songs just don’t hit the same way and other people near me can hear everything on a mid volume

Hi Sam, thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. Bose OpenAudio is designed to deliver rich, deep sound directly into your ear canal while reducing sound leakage. In most environments and at normal listening levels, people nearby won’t hear anything. At maximum volume in a very quiet setting, others may notice something playing, but they won’t hear details unless they are very close.
We’d like to help you further and explore solutions to improve your call experience. Please connect with us here: https://bose.life/48EXztC
They cut out and crackle. The sound quality is disappointing. Awful, do not buy.

While these buds serve their purpose, they lack the Bose sound I'm used to with the ultra buds. Even my smart sound bar and sub put these to shame. I suppose they have their place in the workout/exercise world, but 90% of us don't workout. They are extremely comfortable - you won't even know you have them on. I gave mine away because I have no use for them, but hopefully they will be enjoyable to the recipient.

I have hated all of my bluetooth earbuds/airpods. They never stayed in my ear so I was always losing them, my ears felt gross after having them in, and/or they hurt. These are so, so, so comfortable and with how they wear like an ear cuff its super cute and unobtrusive. One of my coworkers said it looked like jewelry. The sound is great. Not noise cancelling but with the open ear design its to be expected. Its like having a personal soundtrack. Love them.
