These earbuds are a step above for sound quality compared to the earlier version. The sound follows you as your head turns and the controls are very easy to use. They're great on the bike trail allowing me to listen to music or an audiobook and still hear the world around me. Highly recommend.
I had the first gen ultra open ear buds and did not think it could get any better…but it did… by a mile! Music sounds better more and deeper and more natural. Phone calls even when windy are crystal clear, first gen struggled a bit with that.. I use my ultra open earbuds gen 2 when out walking my dog and they are perfect for this as I can listen to all my music and I listen to my dog Yoyo ..best iof both worlds!
I have had the Bose Ultra Open Ear Buds Gen2 for a couple weeks now and I must say I really like them. I like that they are not IN my ear and that I am able to be aware of things going on around me. They are comfortable to wear so much that I sometimes forget that I have them on. Though they are open, the sound quality is top notch, as you would expect from Bose. The battery life is also very impressive.
These are my first pair of open-ear headphones, and while it took a brief moment to get used to positioning the cuffs on my ears, the overall experience has been fantastic once adjusted.
During an hour-and-a-half workout, they locked securely onto my ears without budging or slipping, completely avoiding ear fatigue. In a quiet gym setting without blaring overhead speakers, the sound quality is rich and clear while still letting me remain aware of my environment.
They transitioned just as easily into my workday. Multipoint Bluetooth connectivity is rock solid, pairing quickly and switching smoothly between my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro with zero hassle. They provide an outstanding balance of all-day comfort, stable fit, and great sound.
