Open Earbuds
I believe the ear buds are too big for my ears. Wish they were adjustable.

Waste of money
They cut out and crackle. The sound quality is disappointing. Awful, do not buy.

Sound is amazing
I got these for Christmas and I love them! The sound is amazing and they’re very comfortable on the ears! I had an old pair of Bose earbuds and was lost when they broke! These are a great replacement! I also like that I can move far from the case and still get a signal!

Response from Staples :
Hi Sam, thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. Bose OpenAudio is designed to deliver rich, deep sound directly into your ear canal while reducing sound leakage. In most environments and at normal listening levels, people nearby won’t hear anything. At maximum volume in a very quiet setting, others may notice something playing, but they won’t hear details unless they are very close. We’d like to help you further and explore solutions to improve your call experience. Please connect with us here: https://bose.life/48EXztC Klariss – Customer Support

Just OK
While these buds serve their purpose, they lack the Bose sound I'm used to with the ultra buds. Even my
smart sound bar and sub put these to shame. I suppose they have their place in the workout/exercise world, but 90% of us don't workout. They are extremely comfortable - you won't even know you have them on. I gave mine away because I have no use for them, but hopefull...

Love the design. Super comfortable
I have hated all of my bluetooth earbuds/airpods. They never stayed in my ear so I was always losing them, my ears felt gross after having them in, and/or they hurt. These are so, so, so comfortable and with how they wear like an ear cuff its super cute and unobtrusive. One of my coworkers said it looked like jewelry. The sound is great. Not noise cancelling but with th...

WONDERFUL EAR BUDS
I didn’t think OPEN EARBUDS would have such wonderful sound; but owning 5 BOSE products;one o which is the Radio/Cassette/CD player which as you can guess’ we’ve had for MANY YEARS and still use regularly. YES these are WONDERFUL with sound as good as any other earbuds; with the extra of being safer outdoors keeping you also aware of what’s golng on around you.

Have been using them for the last couple months, and I'm really impressed with how loud they are while still being able to head what's going on around you. The only complaints I have about them are that their grip on my ear isn't very secure, and they get knocked off quite easily. And also now that winter is here, I like to cover my ears with a beanie, and every time I ...

Great Pro sound
I’ve had them for two weeks sound amazing. I am a professional bass player and playing in a band, I need to listen to songs in stream and performance videos so I can hear the full range of frequencies especially the low bass frequencies . These accomplish that and more plus sound, crisp and clear on all other frequencies.

Not a good fit for every ear.
Bought a few weeks ago. I guess my ears are too big because I can barely hear anything unless I push the earbuds into my ear further. Then they are not clipped on my lobe. These do not fit my ears. If Bose had an extra large I would need them. When it clips on my ear the sound is too far from my ear’s auditory canal so I barely hear the sound. These are not a good fi...

Great Design, Good for the Outdoors
I have purchased about 7 of the Ultra Open Earbuds. I am a fan. As a runner and hiker, I like the "open" concept for safety reasons. I have never liked things sticking out of my ears, like the AirPods. The design is a plus, plus. The earbuds have never fallen out while I am running, riding my bike or working out. I do wish 2 things: 1-that you do not have to use both e...
