5.0 out of 5 stars Really very very good
When I saw these open earphones, I was intrigued by the idea because my worst gripe about my AirPods is that I have to pause the music or remove the earphone to be able to hear people talking to me.Yes, these are expensive - so I tried a cheap brand, just to see if the concept worked. It did, but the sound quality wasn’t good. So I decided to give these a try, and I’m glad I did. Their performance is light years ahead of others.They’re very easy to put on, the flexible earpiece clips around your earlobe gently and they are comfortable for many hours of use - I’ve worn them all day and night without issues, only removing them to charge them via the case, which is nice & quick. They don’t interfere with my glasses at all, I can put them on and remove them without touching the earphones. And, best of all, they don’t fall off or out of your ear, even if you’re headbanging! I’m mobility impaired so don’t go running but I reckon they’ll be great for runners.Because they’re Bose, you have an expectation of great audio quality… and they don’t disappoint, especially in immersion mode, where the sound is amazing and really does seem to be positioned very slightly in front of you. There are 2 immersion mode settings, one where the positioning changes with your head movements, and one static where it doesn’t. Although the earphones don’t go in your ear like traditional earphones, the OpenAudio technology sounds just as good as if they were, without making the music audible to other people.The sound is fantastic for all kinds of audio and music, I have very eclectic tastes and the only type of music they don’t excel for is bass music where very low frequencies are the norm, but I’ve never come across earphones that are great at this, it’s their size. I have larger over ear headphones and a stereo with a big subwoofer for that type of music! They’re as good for listening to ambient music and soundscapes eg Sigur Ros, electronic music like Ladytron and classical music as they are for listening to the latest rock, pop and dance music. They sound great with Spatial Audio/3D audio too. I also find them great for laying in bed listening to audiobooks, they don’t hurt like other earphones can when you turn on your side and they’re pressed against the pillow.How do they get on in a noisy environment? Great. They have an auto volume function that can increase/decrease the volume based on the sounds around you, and maximum volume is loud - you wouldn’t have them turned up to the top for normal usage, I have them set at less than half volume pretty much all the time.You can control volume, playback, sound mode and even your voice assistant using the buttons on each earpiece, a click, double/triple click or long hold allows several controls to be used with just one button. I found the button to actually be better to use than the touch sensitive stalk controls on other earphones mainly because you don’t accidentally activate it so easily if you adjust the position of the earpiece.If you’re intrigued by these earphones but the price concerns you, give them a try… I realised what a good investment they are once I tried them, and use them far more than I have any other earphones ever, because they’re comfortable, don’t fall out of my ear, the sound quality is amazing and they let me hear as much of my environment as I want/need to. They’ve replaced my over ear headphones as my day to day listening buddies.They’re pricey, but they’re worth it.A definite two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻
5.0 out of 5 stars Mindblowingly Excellent!
Super easy to wear, extremely comfortable to the point that you forget you’re wearing them and with astonishingly great sound.I’m super impressed with these. Such an innovative design and very safety conscious too. Lets you hear the music clearly, but also keeps you aware of your environment by hearing ambient sounds. Great for walks, cycling and so on, whilst keeping safer than when one is tuned out with conventional headphones which block out or severely dampen external sounds.The sound is really quite excellent. I have some exceptional over ear headphones from Sennheiser and Focal, so am no stranger to quality audio. For portable, wireless earbuds, these really are extremely impressive. The fact that they’re this innovative open design, really is very impressive indeed.The one and only negative is at £300 (July 2024), they are a bit costly. However, the quality of sound, design and build, alongside effortless syncing with the Bose app, definitely makes me happy recommend them, even at that price.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best earphones I’ve ever had
I used these everyday. Super ideal if you want to listen to music but you need to be able to hear your surroundings. I used to have noise cancelling headphones and felt worried about not being able to hear my kids if they called me. I also feel less anxious when I’m out running as I can hear my surroundings and feel more aware. Love the colour and sound quality is great. Battery life is really good. I use these for around an hour a day and only charge them once a week. Love the fit. I can’t tell I’m wearing them.
1.0 out of 5 stars Good design terrible reliability
These are the most comfortable earbuds I have ever worn and the sound quality is good. I cannot recommend them however as they are utterly unreliable. I have so far had two sets replaced under warranty in a matter of months because they fail to charge properly. A Google search will show how widespread this problem is. The fact that Bose regularly runs sales of reconditioned items across its range of products shows the general weakness of its quality control, despite its premium prices. The one saving grace is that Bose’s warranty system is very good, which perhaps is unsurprising given the amount of practice it gets.
4.0 out of 5 stars Super comfortable
These open earbuds have excellent sound and volume, obviously considering that they are "open" style. The fit and is great and the comfort is exceptional.After a firmware update, they connect to two devices seemlessly, I have had them connected to my iPhone, android phone, chromebook and Windows laptop in many permutations and the connections have been flawless.The only reason I have given 4 stars, is that I feel the case is not of the quality that Bose has provided in the past.I have a houselod full of bose equipment, soundbar, speakers, headphones and other earbuds, I am a big fan of bose, through choice, not driven by following.As I say, at this price point the only downside for me personally is the case quality.
Not for bass
I like to be aware of my surroundings, so before these I rarely wore headphones when taking a walk, because even when I turned off noise cancellation, I could not hear well.I really like these for such situations.The sound quality is better than I expected for an open ear hole, but don’t expect bass - like none.I like the minimal functions on the earpieces; however, I find changing the volume to be finicky, so I usually just do that from my phone.For me, these are headphones for a purpose - to be aware of my surroundings. I was able to hear my podcast/music even on a fairly busy street, but I can see how a VERY busy area would be more problematic.These are quite comfortable, and look stylish.The battery lasts about what they claim to.
espetacular
quase inacreditável que "aberto" possa produzir isolamento e som de muita qualidade tão bons
No se me caen al correr
Estoy muy feliz con ellos, me encabta que no tengo que preocuparme al aumentar mi velocidad ellos aguantan, lo malo es que en lugares con mucho ruido no funcionan ya que el ruido exterior les gana. Le doy un 8.5 porque son costosos y el audio aun cuando es Bose y su calidad es hermosa en un gran evento deportivo no me deja escuchar mi música.
I wanted to like them but the price updated
Usually I say they are good for what it’s worth. In this case, for what I paid for them, they are not worth it.Pro’s: the ear clip/cuff design is different and good, the fit is pretty secure and won’t fall off, comfortable, immersive sound is a plus, turning off the immersive sound and they last longer between charges. When running I hardly noticed I had them on my ears. The sound was good when I was running. I noticed as I was running that the music got louder. I think it was because they settled onto my ear lobes and also I turned the automatic volume control.Cons: too expensive, can’t adjust to being closer to ear canal, left me wanting and expecting more from the ear cuff buds. They seem limited when turning them up to 7 or 8 on the flat setting. Should be priced around the sound core and shokz open fit buds price, maybe even pricing them lower like $125-$150 on the high end. For $300 they should have wireless charging, multi point connectivity. Most of all a larger and louder volume level. I’m returning them. My aftershockz aeropex bone conduction headphones do a better job and lasts my whole 10 hour workday without needing to be charged.Maybe another software update with automatic multipoint switching, adjust the eq curve to have more low end and not cap the bass when playing at a higher volume, and drop the price and they would an awesome product.Update 3/12/2024So I returned my first pair of ultra earbuds, and got a set of Shokz open fit earbuds. I tried those on for some time and really like how they performed overall. But somehow I started to miss the bose earbuds, and wanted to compare how they went up against the Shokz offering. The price is still steep, but I had an Bolo gift card balance of $157 so I went ahead and bought the Bose to do the comparison.The fit was excellent as before, the sound is excellent, I registered them to get the two year nose warranty as I can see these being replaced sometime in September the future. The Shokz are really good and probably rank them as one of the best hook buds in the market. For me and my ears, the Bose and the Shokz are an excellent buy. They both are light and fitment is excellent, the sound is superb, the call quality I give to Shokz, the update happened to both and somehow the call quality on the bose really improved. I still prefer the physical button over the touch sensitive approach that Shokz went with. I still like the Bose ear cuff design vs the earhook. So which do I prefer. Running and exercising-Bose without a doubt, mountain biking and any sport with a lot of wind noise-Shokz hands down.3/19/2024I started noticing the Bose ultra open buds starting to lose connection when putting them on. The right ear would get the connected prompts, but the left would not connect and when it does connect, it loses drops connection a couple of time more than connects and syncs up with the right ear. I’m going to request for a replacement pair. Overall, these are excellent buys if you have a gift card balance to buy down these buds. The Shokz were on sale so I returned my black pair and got the white pair. I had some Bolo credits and used those credits to buy the Shokz at much lower price.3/29/2024Bose pushed an update to the open ultras (version 1.10.4). The audio sounded clearer, the connection issue seems to have been resolved, I noticed while doing yard work that my Bose lasted approximately 5 hours on the immersion setting. No multipoint connectivity like the Shokz open fits have. Also, I saw that Bose released a wireless charging case on their website for $50. I decided to not get the wireless charging case because I was already used to the usb-c plug approach.
