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 3/12/2024 So 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 amazon 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. 3/19/2024 I 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 Amazon credits and used those credits to buy the Shokz at much lower price. 3/29/2024 Bose 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.

I bought what I thought was an open box pair from China for $70... I know... Anyway I have reported the item and hopefully will get my ebay money back guarantee for them but won't hold my breath. I felt let down and although I don't really need new headphones I bit the $300 bullet and got them as I'd researched them previously. Although almost identical visually, I immediately noticed the difference from the fake ones which was night and day. Open ear benefit (that you can hear sounds around you) but with amazing bass and clear sounds and for someone with tinnitus they're such a pleasure. I have a Samsung and use that for the graphic equalizers although there are more in the app. Haven't used the mic much yet for calls as I use my glasses but I'm sure they're good in quiet environments or consistent noise such as a car but can't confirm this yet. Very comfy I forget I'm wearing them and the fake ones were definitely looser which made the sound leak and bass drop. I'm going to see about adding the insurance with Amazon as they're so epic I'm sure I'd replace them if they die and that clip bit may not last for ever. -- INSANE IMMERSIVE MODE makes me lol-- I was on a walk tonight as I loaded the Bose app and tried the Immersive modes. With the static option, as you turn your head the music stays in the same place and in mobile mode, it follows you like a drone carrying the speakers so there's a slight delay. I literally was spinning around as I walked laughing and it was such a delightful experience. In the app is a great sample track you can test it on. I've used a range of low and medium Open Ear headphones and for this type of headphone, I think Bose have found a magic recipe and the Immersive experience is so unexpectedly enjoyable. If you're on the fence and can justify the cost, these are definitely worth a try. Please do report back if you laugh out loud when you really experience the Immersive modes with good music 😆🎵🌄✨️

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.

quase inacreditável que "aberto" possa produzir isolamento e som de muita qualidade tão bons

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.

جودة صوت سيئة وجودة مايك اكثر سواء واتعبتني مرة تشتغل اليمين وما تشتغل اليسار ومرة العكس.

Bardzo Lubie zakładać te słuchawki. Są malutkie, bateria długo wytrzymuje. Dźwięk wysokiej klasy. Jestem zadowolony z zakupu.
