Bose - Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Open Earbuds - Driftwood Sand

I love these! I am an AirPods devotee but didn't trust them to stay in my ear while working out or riding my bike and the transparency function on the AirPods is a bit disarming. I had a cheap pair of Anker clip ons that were ok, and I discovered that clip on earbuds were perfect for bike riding -- I could hear music or podcasts while riding and yet still hear the hum of car engines and other outside sounds. The sound on the Anker buds were ok, but not great so I decided to upgrade to a pair of Bose Open Ear. The Bose Open Ears provide amazing sound, stay on my ears and are comfortable to wear. They charge seamlessly in their case and seem to last long enough for my uses. The midnight blue color is lovely. They look strange but the clip onto the side of the ear and stay put. The round side goes behind your ear and the other side rests in your ear. Pulling them closer to the ear canal gives you a louder sound, less outside noise while they provide less sound to your ears if they rest higher up. There is an app where you can control the tone, set them up to connect up to two devices simultaneously, and turn off the enhanced sound for better battery life. If you have newer Bose products, it's the same app. My other Bose products are a little old so I have two apps, one for the old Bose stuff, one for these new Open Ears. These are NOT noise cancelling earbuds. Use your AirPods or other ear pods for that. These are great for when you want music but you also want to be able to hear around you in a non-jarring way. Go on walks, take them to the gym, hop on your bike (probably not motorcycles). My only real qualm is that, as an AirPods user, I am used to knowing how much battery is left in my charging case. Even in the app, these don't show you the percentage. You just get vague white and orange lights that tell you when might want to charge them. The buds themselves, however, will tell you their battery is full when you put them in your ears, typical to Bose products. Overall, I am so happy with my purchase. I got them on sale and open box so I thought that the sale price was right for these devices (~$150). Full price is a little steep.

Let me start off by saying these are not for everyone. These are awesome earbuds depending on your needs. The sound is crisp, the battery life is great, bass is good. How they clip onto your ear is very cool and innovative. I can wear these headphones at work the entire 12 hours comfortably. They are very pricey but worth it to me because I need to be aware of my surroundings and the sound is amazing. I turned on the immersive feature and it’s like you have music playing in your head, I love it. Again, very pricey at $300.00 but what do you expect they are Bose. No noise canceling on these for obvious reasons. If you like to jog outside or want to use them for work these are perfect for you. If you’re looking for perfect sound/bass with noise canceling do not buy these. There are a ton of better options. These are specifically meant for people who want to be aware of outside noises/surroundings. If you have issues with real earbuds falling out or are hurting your ears, these are for you. These earbuds just clip onto your ear with ease. I love the premium feel of the case as well.

I purchased these the other week and have not been disappointed. The sound quality is excellent and there is plenty of bass for me. I can still hear things around me with these earbuds in and they are extremely comfortable to wear. One of the biggest things ive never liked about most earbuds is they always feel like theyre falling out of my ears. Not these! They feel very stable in my ears and are not annoying to wear in the least. I absolutely love the unorthodox design. These are light years better than the Powerbeats Pro i purchased last year. If you don’t mind dropping $300 on a pair of earbuds, these are very well worth the money. I would give them 6 stars if i could.

I love these earbuds. I’ve tried a few other products before, and I prefer these out of all of them (earbuds wise). I like them especially for the design. My ears get sore after wearing other earbuds, these are extremely comfortable and after 8+ hours at work my ears don’t ache at all. Regular earbuds fall out of my ear during regular/rigorous activities, these don’t budge at all, I’m sold my guy. Obviously on the pricey side, but I say it’s completely worth it for what you get compared to other products. I kept these in my bag for about 2 weeks give or take and they just started getting low on battery the other day. They aren’t meant for complete noise cancelling but regardless, the audio is amazing and even in louder environments my music/audio is drowning out most background noise. 10 out of 10, but 5 out 5 since the cap is 5 stars ⭐️

I’ve been using the Bose Ultra Open-Ear True Wireless Earbuds for a few weeks now, and they are absolutely incredible! The open-ear design is a game-changer, allowing me to stay aware of my surroundings while enjoying rich, high-quality sound. Bose has nailed it with their signature audio clarity—every note and beat sounds crisp and immersive. Pros: Comfort: These earbuds are so lightweight and comfortable that I sometimes forget I’m wearing them. Perfect for long listening sessions! Sound Quality: The bass is surprisingly robust for open-ear earbuds, and the mids and highs are clear without being harsh. Build: The White Smoke finish looks sleek and premium, and the earbuds feel durable. Battery Life: I’ve been able to use them for hours without needing to recharge, which is a huge plus. Cons: Noise Isolation: Because of the open-ear design, they aren’t ideal for very noisy environments. But that’s a fair trade-off for the safety and awareness they offer. Overall, these earbuds are perfect for anyone who prioritizes comfort and situational awareness without compromising sound quality. Highly recommend for daily use, workouts, or commuting. Bose has once again set a high bar for audio technology!
