The earbuds are very appealing to the eye. When listening to music or watching things on your phone, the sound quality is amazing. When it comes to taking calls, it is very horrible. The other party can sometimes barely hear you unless you're in a very quiet place.

These are an excellent product , however , the customer service SUCKS !!!! The first pair were defective and ordering through Bose was SUPPOSED to b e advantageous , however , it is actually BETTER to purchase at this store !!!! It took several days to get a replacement product and I was told that once you get a replacement , it VOIDS the return guarantee and now you just have 30 days !!! I returned a defective unit and got SCREWED in the process !!!! If I bought it from the store , I could return a WEEK OLD product and get a replacement IMMEDIATELY with no hassle and not VOIDING ANYTHING !!!! I told the customer service rep that this is how you handle a defective product replacement , you OVERNIGHT a replacement and tell the customer that you have 14 days to return the defective product , if you don't , your card will be charged for the replacement product !!!!! SIMPLE !!!! I have seen this done a few times and with far more EXPENSIVE items !!!! I will NEVER purchase from Bose again !!!

I bought these as the in-ear buds in general were causing inner ear issues. Generally pleased with them. Would give 3.5 stars if I could. My first Bose earphones. The sound is very good, maybe the best way to describe the sound is full, vibrant and complete. The build quality is excellent and the aesthetics are excellent, they are a beautiful design. The fitment is innovative but doesn't fit my ears well. When I press the bud into my ear, the sound is amazing but the speakers dont sit close to my ear canal when relying on the fitment. I think the universe fitment doesn't match my ear which is disappointing. Great sound and looks but pricey for them to not fit my ears well.

I am extremely impressed with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds! The design is brilliant - they are incredibly lightweight and so comfortable that I completely forget I'm wearing them. The sound quality is superb, offering amazing clarity and a surprisingly deep space without blocking your ears at all. The only minor downside is that the Bose Music app doesn't show the exact battery percentage of the charging case, so you have to rely on the LED light indicator on the case itself. Other than that, everything is absolutely perfect so far. Highly recommend them!

So far I like these a lot. I have hearing aids and these work with those. I.had to take a little more time getting the outer ear Bose in the best position for the best sound.

Not for active user. I lost one ear piece with in a week of occasional wearing and there is no replacement for it. I do not recommend it!

Great Fit, But No One Can Hear Me I am highly disappointed with this product. I gave it 1 star because the main reason I bought these earbuds does not work.While they fit perfectly in my ear, they are useless for phone calls. I can hear the other person perfectly clear, but they cannot hear me at all. To have a conversation, I am forced to either shout at the top of my lungs or turn off Bluetooth completely and switch to my phone's speaker.Looking through the other reviews, I see that I am not the only person experiencing this exact issue. This is clearly a widespread defect with the microphone. The manufacturer needs to fix this design flaw immediately. I do not recommend buying these if you need to make phone calls.

I have tried 3 different earbuds. Apple, Raycon and Bose. I don't know why I ever thought someone else could beat Bose. I love these open air earbuds. They work perfectly everyday. Charge fast. Beautiful sound with both audiobooks and streaming music. I love them. My third Bose product since 2010. All still going strong.

I'm happy with my bose ultra open earbuds; they are comfortable and don't fall out. They have good sound, although some external noise does leak in because of their open design.

I bought these because the Samsung live buds are no longer manufactured. I liked the open ear concept but I also liked the fit. Unfortunately the only downfall I have is that when I am on a phone call it is very hard for people to hear me. People say it sounds like I am far away and they can hear a lot of my background noise which with my Live buds that was never an issue. For as much as I use them to make phone calls I am really thinking about returning these as they would not be good for the gym which is where I took my Live buds and brought these to work.

I bought the open version to avoid having something in ears all the time. Used these for about 20 days and they worked well. I sometime forgot I had them on my ear.

I purchased my Bose open earbuds about a month ago and the experience is an overall disappointment. On the plus side, the sound quality is great, particularly when listening to music Also positive is that they are extremely comfortable to wear even if they are a bit clumsy to put on and situate correctly. On the down side 1) the microphone is very poor and every ambient sound affects it. People cannot hear me much of the time or it fades in and out. I have to be completely stationary in a quiet room for them to work. I mostly have to switch to my speaker on the phone. I would not have purchased these had I known it would be this bad 2) a charge does not last the whole day. They quit about 9 hours into the day. Those are the primary things and they are truly annoying. I cannot recommend the product except to listen to podcasts and music.

I have had these for almost a month, absolutely love them. These are some of the best EarPods for music that I've ever had and I love being able to switch over so easy to answer my cell phone.

When I bought the Ultra Earbuds from Bose, I was a little apprehensive about the sound quality. Being open the way they are I thought it would make the sound less clear than my quiet comfort buds. Bose came through again with fantastic sound in a very comfortable fit.

I was an early adopter of open ear, appreciated the joy of music and the sound of life. The new Ultra have better depth of sound and improved volume. Love them.

I wanted to use these while at work, I work in an office- 8 hours a day. I have sensitive ears and have found while at first the pressure is not noticeable, after extended use I do feel the pressure on my ears and have to take them off before the end of my work day of 8 hours. I found it slightly awkward to answer my physical work phone with them in my ears- they made 'clicking' noises when I moved the phone around. The metal/plastic of the earbuds touching the plastic of the phone. When I paused what I was listening to, to speak to someone or to answer my work phone, if it was a time more than I think two minutes, I would click the button and it would not return to what I was listening to. I would have to go to my phone to un-pause it, and then it would return. The sound quality is great- indoors and outdoors. I go on daily walks and found it very pleasant to listen to. I realize many of the things I bring up are more of my preference, but thought I should bring up. I still believe them to be a quality product.

The idea and the functionality of the earbuds are really good. The sound and how they describe interactions is right on the point. The only issue I have is with the thickness of the wraparound below your ear. Since I have a little bit larger ear than normal, it didn't fit me properly, which caused issues with the performance. I still recommend them for everyone and it's a great product.

Bought a few weeks ago on a bit of a whim. Always had a fondness of Bose products, mainly because of their sound, ergonomics & longevity. I feel even though premium, they offer fantastic value for money. I also have a set of QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds II - so these felt excessive, but I use earphones most days & I felt these serve a very different purpose. These don't have the sound quality of the Earbuds (I had one first gen & the second are a huge step up in terms of design & audio performance), but they are a very good functional alternative. How the sound engineers have managed to get them to sound like they do is beyond me. I use these for short train journeys, commuting, days when the office is busy, jobs around the house & dog walks & then my Earbuds for longer train journeys, the gym & when I don't need to hear my ambient surroundings. My top tip is follow the fitting carefully & then the important bit - move downwards so the speaker is as close to the ear canal as possible. They do feel like they'll fall out - it is very odd, but so far they haven't come out at all - including on a quick 6 mile run. Was wanting to hate these but ended up loving them! Unfortunately feel like I need to finish the collection now with the new Ultra Headphones II!:)

After using this for a nonth, though I find the sound quality excellent for all kinds of music, I find these lack the ability to carry my voice in a call. I have tried all suggestions including the 45 degree one to no avail. Wish Bose releases a new firmware to rectify this otherwise excellent comfortable earphones

I bought these a month ago and they feel great, the way they fit around my ear is fantastic. That being said, using them on an airplane isn't the best choice with all the background noise. I already have another in-ear old style set of Bose earbuds with the curved shaped insert for the ear that sounds great, the only problem was keeping them in my ears. I am going to try the new style in-ear Bose ear buds and hopefully three is the charm. Kelly M. Las Vegas, NV.

So this is the second pair I've purchased....my pair was specifically purchased for the gym. My partner saw them and wanted a pair too. So I bought the second pair which they use hands free mostly and to listen to music...taken calls is not very good, it's delayed and you have to constantly repeat yourself as the person on the other end can't hear you very well. It is very disruptive to that end but for listening to music it is fab. Is there any advise to improve the calls quality?
