Exceedingly happy!!

These contain all the quality and depth of sound I:be come to expect from Bose. I've tried multiple earbuds (wired and wireless and I continually had problems with keeping them in place if I as much as took a deep breath. These ultra earbuds stay in place with any activity I have taken on in the 2 months I've had them. I have had a couple of occasions where I had turned off the my music on my phone and didn't realize the earbuds were still on until someone asked me what I was listening to. They're so light and intrusive that I still had them on. As always, great job Bose!!

So comfortable and great sound

This is my second pair. I bought them so I can leave my white ones at work. I've been using them for almost 2 years and I have no regrets. They are so comfortable that I forget that I have them on. The sound is so full that in the right room, it sounds like there is a great speaker playing for endow to hear. The battery life is very good too.

Great Concept & Uncomfortable

Looks nice and great concept but poor fit for my ear. Can't get the right positioning/fit in my ear. Also pinches my outer ear lobe.

First I express mailed these to me and they took a week to get here. I bought them because I have always loved the quality sound of bose speakers but these keep disconnecting and whenever someone calls it's crackly sounding. No one can understand me. The microphone is terrible. I spend a lot of time talking on my phone with ear buds because my hands are busy. It's very important to me that they work for that as well. I might actually have to go back and purchase new earbuds. Which makes me sad because the speakers are true bose quality but the rest is dollar store quality.

Sound stops working

These are my second pair of open ear earbuds. The first were a cheaper brand and I thought I'd spend some money and get a better pair. The sound is ok. Sometimes I hear a kind of crackling noise. But my big issue is , if I pause what I'm listening to for like five minutes, when I push play again there's no sound. My phone says it's playing and is connected to the earbud and there's a good charge, like 90% , but no sound. I have to put them back in the charger for awhile before it works again. For $200 I don't think this should be happening

Need new earbuds sent asap

I used the ear buds for two weeks and they wouldn't hold a charge. I sent them back to be exchanged and I haven't heard anything back.

Great but not perfect!

My comment pertains the second pair I own: I lost one of my previous pair (see CONS). PROS: 1- The Bose sound is great; 2- They very comfortable to wear, actually more comfortable than the in-ear models of Bose; 3- They last for hours of continuous use and charge reasonably fast; 4- Even though they are open-ear models, they are very quiet so I can use them even when my wife sleeps next to me; 5- The attachment system is very stable under most (but not all - see CONS) conditions of use. 6- Being open-ear, the earbuds allow the ear canals to stay dry and fresh, which is fantastic during the hotter months or when using them for long periods of time. CONS: 1- As compared to the in-ear Bose earbud models that I have owned previously, the microphone of these earbuds is not sensitive enough to catch my voice during phone calls. I have to commute to the phone mic to answer a call, which I can do while wearing the earbuds; 2- Beware when wearing a hoodie while using the earphones: when covering your head, the hoodie can swing an earbud out of the ear. It would be great if the earphones had something (e.g. a hole in the silicone piece that links the speaker to the base) to fasten a lanyard for preventing their accidental loss; 3- Sometimes the sound of the earbuds desynchronizes for a few seconds.

Great sound. But missing features I enjoyed from

The sound is great as expected from Bose. My one complaint is that i can't control the volume from the earbuds. I have to use the volume from my phone.i was able to control the volume and skip song or replay from my previous Bose earbuds. I can't do any of these functions from the earbuds.

Love the fit and comfort of these earbuds. Sound quality is great, as expected. Best feature for me is being able to connect to both my laptop and my phone. Switching is easy so this convenience gets 5 stars!

Works on my small ears!

I have very small ears so I was excited to try this style. Inner ear styles fall out. I didn't wear my inner ear buds due to fear of loosing one or both. I love these! These stay on and I really like that I can hear around me. I like having background noise all the time, that is my comfort zone. It is winter now so I haven't used it being active outside as I need a hat in my climate. I will say they are great indoors and even at work. I am thrilled.

Another day. Another round of problems

Yesterday? Actually connected to my phone. Today? Bose app shows YouTube and/or music playing when it's quite clearly not. Pause button you ask? Stop button maybe? No. Doesn't work in the app. Checked device it's playing on? Nothing playing. No sound. Surprised? No. I've returned all of my Bose products multiple times. Maybe 2026 they get it right? Who knows. Unpairing and pairing 3 of my Android devices again. Same thing happens every week. App also forgets it already has permission for 'nearby devices'. For the money Bose charge, it's downright embarrassing, and disgusting performance. I have never EVER EVER EVER had ANY of these issues with my Oppo Enco X3 buds. Bose? Same problems every week. All 3 of my Bose products. Oppo price? 1/3 of what Bose charge. Oppo connection issues? ROCK SOLID HI-RES Shame on you Bose . Just an FYI to anyone buying Bose bluetooth or wireless products: the sound is awesome. The user experience is downright painful. I've made 3 'full refund' of each of my Bose products. So currently I'm up to 9 YES NINE LOL failures. Within 3 months. I need to go now and figure out where Bose has decided to send the music sound from my phone. #facepalm. Boring.

Excellent brand but fell short on quality

Took some time to get used to them. Bose is an excellent brand but since ear buds don't fit snuggly in ear like other earbuds, I felt like sound could be better.

Great sound!

Got this as a present from my dad and I love them! The sound is great, and being able to hear the sound of cars and surroundings while still blasting music while walking down the street makes me feel safe. The only complaint would be that after a few hours of wearing, they do make my ears a little sore but I love them anyways.

Amazing open-ear headphones

I love these Bose open-ear earphones, they're so amazing, the sound quality is amazing. It sounds like as if you're wearing earphone or headphones. The way it isolates outside sounds to give you the illusion you're wearing earphone is amazing, plus they're very comfortable to wear and very easy to forget you're wearing them.

Small, Senistive ears? These are for you!

I love these earbuds! I had another brand that was the same as my phone and could only wear them about 15 mintues before I had to take them out because they hurt my ears. These were exactly as described and fit comfortably! Wore them for over 2 hours easily! Probably could have worn all day if I had needed to. Super easy to set up and pair with multiple devices. I like I could easily switch between my work computer and cell. Highly recommend!

Bought two weeks ago and love them but dislike them! Love fit and finish along with how they stay in place so well. Dislike that there not noise cancelation and the volume is hard too hear on phone calls.

Very good but?

I bought these very expensive earphones and because of the shape and size of my ears, they do not get the sound into my ear canal well no matter how much I fiddle with them. What I end up hearing is mids to highs and just a little bass. If I manually turn my ears inward the bass becomes rich and beautiful. They are a great idea but not for everyone. They are very nice but now I'm stuck with earphones that I won't use much if at all?and I really couldn't afford them in the first place, so I'm pretty bummed.

Great sound, concerns about replacement parts.

I never would have spent this much on earbuds, but the sale price and the open style was something I was looking for. The sound quality is excellent, and they are very comfortable. My main concern is that the silicone piece, that wraps around your ear, is going to break after repetitive use. If this was to happen, and I have seen it happen before on other products of the same material, how do you replace it? My husband has the full headphones, and he has had to replace the earpieces twice due to the material cracking and disintegrating. I'm not even sure if you could purchase a replacement piece and for the cost of this, I in no way consider them disposable. They also seem to disconnect from my phone, and I keep having to delete them and then pair them again. I have rebooted by phone. Also, when I use them and then use them again later, all the settings have returned to the original factory settings. This is not after pairing them again. I like them very much, I just don't want to buy another pair a year or two down the road.
