These things are fantastic. Music and Audiobooks sound great. No complaints from anyone I've talked with on phone calls. You can still hear everything going on around you. They are so light and comfortable that I forget I have them on. Yes, they are expensive but then, nobody does sound better than Bose. Worth every cent to me.

I really like my new earbuds but what I don't like is that I see that they are on sale for 100 bucks less than I paid for them a few weeks ago.

Music is good. Haven't tested the batter length. Call sound is horrible. I have the max volume on the headphones and my call volume maxed but I can barely hear the other person. I've checked my phone and the volume limiter is off. I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps and nothing solves the problem. For $300 headphones and from Bose... these are pathetic.

I owned the baby blue open earbuds three months before I bought the purple ones. The earbuds are easy to wear. No soreness on my ears. I'm able to listen to my music and hear the surrounding noises. I wear them to walk my dog. The sound is crisp and clear. I can hear cars coming up from behind. I bought my second pair because purple is my favorite color. You can never go wrong with Bose. The quality is by far the leader of the pack.

I have small ears and these open air buds fit me perfectly, don't fall out even though I use them primarily for the gym, and have excellent sound. The photo of them makes them look sort of pink but they actually a rose colored copper which is a beautiful color. They are so much better than Apple air buds for comfort, fit and style. Worth every penny!

I bought these earbuds after reading several reviews that they were the best on the market. They are certainly about 300% more expensive than I've ever spent on headphones before. Perhaps because they were so expensive, I expected immediate gratification. In practice, it took me a little while to establish the optimal volume and ear fitting. The press button control is outstanding, but again takes practice to get right every time. I confess that I'm not quite Neanderthal, and saw so much potential in these earbuds that I bought a second pair for my so, who regularly receives and makes calls. Another great feature is that the earbuds know when to interrupt for incoming calls and other media messages. In summary, these are the most expensive and best headphones I've ever bought. Once I've sold some more personal possessions, I may even buy the charger!

I've finally found earbuds I can wear all day without discomfort - the Bose Open Earbuds are a game-changer! For years, I struggled to wear earbuds for more than an hour or two before the pinching became unbearable. These are truly amazing; I can comfortably wear them for extended periods without any pain whatsoever. What truly sets these earbuds apart, besides the incredible comfort, is their open-ear design. Unlike traditional earbuds that completely seal off your ears, these allow you to hear your surroundings. This feature is fantastic, especially in a work environment. I can listen to my audio while still being aware if someone walks into my office or calls my name. It's the perfect balance of immersion and situational awareness. And, as you'd expect from Bose, the sound quality is absolutely amazing. Every note is crisp, clear, and rich, delivering that premium audio experience Bose is known for. I love my Bose Open Earbuds so much that after buying a pair for myself, I've already gifted them to several friends. If you're looking for earbuds that prioritize comfort, allow you to stay aware of your surroundings, and deliver exceptional sound, look no further. Thank you, Bose, for creating such an innovative and comfortable product!

The quality of the sounds is not what I was expecting and it doesnt have the noise cancelation technology. I didn't like it.

Bose you can't beat the quality of sound. I like the feature to hear other surrounding noise sometimes, however I recently heard someone I didn't know singing next to me to my tunes in public because they could hear my play list. It was awkward to say the least.

I use these mainly for running. Absolutely love them. Light weight , I forget I'm wearing them. They stay securely in my ears. I finally can wear ear buds in both ears with the open ear design. Sound is great while still being able to hear everything around me.

I got myself the Limited Edition Lisa open earbuds and im in love. It took me some time to get adjusted to them hanging off my ear, but im extremely happy with the sound quality as well as the overall look to them! Highly recommend them!

It's a solid build but my issue is that the bud doesn't reach my ear enough. This makes the volume low unless I push it forward. Also, calls seem to be choppy for the person I'm talking to.

Great for all day comfort while keeping an ear out. Not the best for phone calls as hearing can great unless isolated but otherwise great over ear sound.

I think i received the Bose Open Air about 3 weeks ago and have decided to keep them. They provide a surprisingly detailed sound. Early on i didn't think i would like the openness since all i ever owner were IEM's, however, i use these for walks or gym visits and i find i like being able to hear an approaching car and gym noise is not as bothersome as i thought it may be. The best thing i like is being able to wear them for long periods. They are super light weight and i can forget i have them on. There is no heat build up or itchy feeling so they are very comfortable. The one thing i would like on a newer model is for the smaller end to extend a little further into the ear canal. Overall they exceed my expectations?

Purchased two more this ago for running and working out. Better than earbuds for staying securely at n place and allowing outside sounds in. Can't seem to get them as loud as I would like.

I have been searching for an open ear earbud product for some time now. I had tried others, all with significant trade off in sound quality or wearability. I purchased the Open Ear ultra's and my search came to a halt. Excellent Bose quality sound, outstanding wearability, a great companion app, and very good battery life. I use them when in the house, out walking, or working out, and in all cases I get great sound and the ability to remain fully connected to the outside world. Not having an in-ear design makes them so easy to wear that I forget I have them on. And, the button functionality works far better for me than trying to navigate a touch system on earbuds like many other competing products. If you're looking for a great open ear earbud, buy them and you won't be disappointed. I love them, and my ears love them.

I bought these and was surprised how good the audio was. They're easy to use and connect right away. Haven't really had any issues.

I have small ears and most buds fall out or feel like they are stretching my ear out too much. I loved my Raycons but wanted to try something new and as a school teacher these open buds are perfect for when I need to listen out for my kids and screen that YouTube video to make sure it's the right one. The quality is amazing, I love the surround sound feature and I can wear them for hours without my ears getting tired. Also, they still do well in loud and environments like airports. Yes, you hear the back ground noise, but that's what I need. It's a little annoying on an airplane or driving in the car as a passenger if you need that complete sound cancellation. Also, it can be uncomfortable to lay down with these on your ears. I also love riding my bike with these because I can hear the traffic and my music.

These are the best earbuds I have ever used, I have some hearing loss and with these I can hear them so much better then the ones you put in your ears! I love them, they are the best??

Have had my Open Earbuds for almost 3 months now, and I am very happy with them. They easily connect and reconnect to my Bluetooth devices and switch back and forth seamlessly. Highly recommend if you want quality sound but not noise cancelling to be able to hear the outside world when needed.
