I am very happy with the sound, the feel, and tbe look. I am disappointed that I paid full price and the very next day I started getting emails with discount offers on the same product that I just bought

I've been using open-ear earbuds for about a year now, and I like them because they're lightweight and have better sound quality.

I just got these the other day. I Was very skeptical about them. I am very pleasantly surprised. The sound quality is much better than I had hoped. They fit well and are comfortable. Takes a minute to get them in the right position but once they are on they stay in place.

I bought these about a month ago and I love being able to hear all around me when I'm wearing them. They work one at a time on either side as well. They sound very lovely, and I listen to everything from rock to opera to folk music all in one sitting. I would have given them 5 stars except the clicking controls and I don't work very well together.

I have had this Earbuds for a couple of weeks and use them every day. PRO - sound is great and clear - fit is easy and secure - the speed of and amount of charge in the hanging case for the buds is unexpectedly adequate CON - instructions are sparce - I cannot get the buds to answer an incoming phone call - The charging case could use wireless charging option

Love these earbuds. Sound quality is excellent. These are also so comfortable, can't even tell you have these on. Much needed replacement for the earbuds that I was using that wouldn't stay in my ears.

I loveeee my ultra buds. So easy to use. I have never been able to wear ear buds because my ears are so little. Con.. I can't really talk on the phone. My voice isn't alway clear to the recipient.

My High School colors! Hoy, Hoy Mighty Troy! I replaced my other Ultra's, which I gave to my wife. They are second to none! Bose continues to lead with innovation in style, while continuing to provide superior sound.

I've never written a review that felt this personal. But the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds aren't just a product - they're a quiet revolution. I wear them while walking my dog, commuting, working, even cooking. The open-ear design means I stay connected to the world around me, yet the sound is so immersive it feels like the music is inside me. No pressure, no isolation - just pure, spacious audio that adapts to my life. They don't fall out. They don't block out life. They don't ask me to choose between awareness and escape. They just? fit. Comfortably. Emotionally. Practically. If you've ever wanted earbuds that feel like they were designed for real people - not just tech specs - these are it. I've tried others. Nothing compares. I don't say this lightly: if you're reading this, you'll buy them. And you'll thank yourself every time you wear them.

I debated on purchasing these for almost a year because they were way more than I would normally spend and I didn't know if I would love them. When I saw that Bose offers returns if you don't love the product when you order directly through them AND they were $100 off, I decided to give them a chance; I'm so glad I did! Regular earbuds hurt my ears and leave me feeling overstimulated. The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds do not hurt, have great sound, and do not cause overstimulation. I love that I can hear my surroundings. The only downside is that phone calls are not great. I can hear the people I'm talking to, but they struggle to hear me. I use to max out in about an hour with earbuds, but with these, I can wear them all day.

I've had these for a few weeks now. These things are amazing. Working on the Ranch, in the barn, running etc these things stay put. They are plenty loud enough, but you can also turn them down and carry on a conversation.

Love the sound. Great quality and love the color. I also love how these don't bother my ears like the standard ear buds.

I have a slight obsession with headphones and earbuds, even more so since I switched to bone conduction for running. These aren't that, but they are amazing! Obviously they don't block noise, and they're not supposed to so a lot noise will result in an inability to hear your music/podcast/whatever. Traditional earbuds leave my ears feeling dirty because I generally am listening to something for most of the day (audiobooks, music, or Podcasts at any given time). These don't leave you Googling "how many hours is safe to wear noise cancelling earbuds?" Or "am I pushing earwax further into my ear with my earbuds?" But they are very comfortable (I forget they're there), surprisingly secure, and the sound quality, assuming you're in a reasonable area, is great! Expensive but worth the splurge.

Bought these on sale, I was a bit skeptical at first since they are open ear buds and these will be my first time owning a pair. I was not disappointed at all. Love the fact that I'm able to enjoy these earbuds at work. I do work in an environment where I have to constantly keep checking on my radio for any call outs. I'm able to enjoy my music while being able to hear around my environment. Only issue is the longevity of the ear buds themselves they last about 6 hrs. I do work 12hr shifts. Overall I do recommend these earbuds if you want to enjoy your music while being aware of your surroundings

My Wife bought these after her first pair in white got stolen, so it shows that Bose does have a winner here! My wife loves her new purple version and loves the sound quality and the fact she can hear others trying to talk to her while wearing these. They are comfortable as well.

I felt like I was taking a chance when I bought these, and I am so glad I did! My first concern was my conch piercings. I wear hoops in them, and I was afraid they would get in the way, but they did not! Both open earbuds fit as they need to with no discomfort. On to the actual sound: wow! I am amazed they pack such a punch. I know the Bose brand is high quality, but with a unique open earbud like this, I was apprehensive. It was baseless. They sound incredible. I absolutely love that I can listen to my music at work, but still communicate with coworkers. I can play Pokemon Go with the sound on outside with friends, but not subject all of them to my phone volume. I absolutely love them.

For those of us that have problems with typical earbuds staying in ears, these are fantastic. They stay inplace and never feel like they are falling out. Sound quality is excellent, and you can also hear what is going on around you.

Great sound, great battery life, and better for my ears as the open concept allows them to breath. I'm surprised by the sound quality as they don't actually go in my ear.

I bought this set 2 1/2 weeks ago. I'm very disappointed. They don't sound anything like the first set. I have from bowls. I'm definitely sending these back to get the second generation. I bought the first generation which I thought was awesome but this set doesn't compare to the quality sound That I'm getting from the first generation so I'm trading them in for the second generation. It has no base to it no sound I'm disappointed.

If u need to hear what's happening around u, or be able to speak to people while listening to music these r the best better than any other earbud "ambient" setting. They r not as loud as some other buds tho if u need to hear what's happening around u these r the best. The battery life isnt as good as some others especially if u have the immersion mode turned on. All and all they r good if u just want buds not in ur ear canal, but great if u need to be able to hear ur surroundings and still hear some music or an audio book. "The dirt" good book, good movie!

This is my fourth purchase of the Bose Carbon Blue because I don't ever want to be without them. Probably my 12th purchase overall of the Utras. They are the perfect combination of sound, awareness, comfort and COLOR. I have been diligently looking for a worthy replacement to my Backbeats from Plantronics as I have exclusively been a fan of open ear devices for workouts and while I'm out and about. Although not good for airplanes, I will, once again, make my pitch that Bose make the QC ULTRA Gen 2's in CARBON BLUE! Please, ya gotta do it.

A Game-Changer for Comfort

As someone who loves to immerse themselves in music but struggles with ear sensitivity due to Pulsatile Tinnitus, finding comfortable earbuds has been a frustrating journey. That's why the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds have been a revelation. Finally, I can enjoy incredible audio without the discomfort of traditional in-ear designs. These earbuds have seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. Whether I'm unwinding at home with a book, tackling emails, or even whipping up a cake in the kitchen, t...
