I saw the title and thought "here we go". I watched the video and found a well balanced, calm, honest review about a product that may not be for everyone.

I have been using these earbuds for 3 days and they sound great for a non-noise cancelling pair of buds. I do not feel them in my ears so if you like listening to your tunes for long periods of time you will enjoy them. I f you can have two pairs of earbuds, one noise cancelling and these then you are fully set.

They are great. You can wear them while cycling (illegal to ride with ears blocked). They are great for work, since you can hear people come up to you. They are comfortable since they don’t shove into your ear. The sound is great, but of course no noise canceling since your ears are not blocked. If your only quibble is the price, that’s a decision each of us has to make.

I really like your non hype reviews. I was interested in these as a runner and the safety nature of open ear earbuds. You addressed my concerns about ipx rating for sweat. I own the shokz open fit which I really like for running.

I have tried these and they are extremely comfortable. You can't feel them in your ears; and the sound was surprisingly good for an open style earbud. Very good. And being able to get music to sound good without having to endlessly fiddle with the fit, like other earbuds, is definitely, definitely convenient. Earbuds of any type that cost more than $300 can't justify that price, sound wise. The amount of control you can exercise directly from the earbud without having to go to the app is definitely a plus. I feel that these are $300. because people who like Bose will pay that money. And the product is definitely attractive, even if you don't like the company. The price of these will drop down as soon as they come up with another iteration of the open earbud and after they've been out for a while. If these cost $250, I don't believe anyone would blink.

Had them for over a week now and love them. Worth every cent!

I think they are great and by no means do I think they came up short. I have both the in ear Bose Ultra Quietcomfort and the Open ear, I love them both. I have tried other open earbuds and these by FAR blow away the others I have tried. I tried at least 5 other high end open earbuds and they did come up short. The Bose Open Ear hit the mark perfectly for me and maybe a little expensive but I rather pay the $300 than pay $175 for another brand that suck. If I want noise cancelling and very quiet I use the in ear Bose, if I want to hear my surroundings which is the majority of the time the Bose Open Ear are great. Yes as I said maybe a little expensive but for what they give me I dont mind paying the $300 but Im sure others would mind. These are really nice open ear buds if you’re looking for open ear. And I would like to add these are the most comfortable earbuds I have EVER used either in ear or open ear. These are almost too comfortable because I honestly forget they are in my ears.

I love them. I can wear all day and I forget they are there. Also you can put headphones over them and you get both options for gaming and still have connection to phone. Just a great all purpose solution.

Very comfortable, and great for all-day use, I wear these much more than I ever have my AirPod 3s. The start of your video suggested it was going to be a hit piece, but I persisted and was pleasantly surprised that your review was fair. I think you undersold the sound quality tho, the quality of sound is leagues beyond any other open ear earphones I’ve tried due to the projection system they use. Bass isn’t brilliant, but it never is with earphones. I also find that the immersive audio is a considerable improvement over the stereo setting.

Love the refreshing honesty in your review ☺️ Subscribed, please keep doing what you do !

One of the best reviews I have ever viewed, going to pick up a pair tomorrow at Best Buy. Return policy so no commitment. I am not really into open ear buds, I do have the first ever AirPods released and haven’t bought any since and don’t use them a lot since I got their noise cancelling Pro afterwards. I want to witness if I am hearing music outside my ears coming in like I do listening with speakers with my stereo system. Thanks for your review, a big thumbs up.

As always great honest review!

Great review, thank you

Thanks for this video man!

I just bought these yesrerday and i will say they shouldnt be 300.00. One thing that is big is the placement of the earbuds. If you place them in the lower part of your ear, you will definitely have a fuller sound and the call quality will be better for the person you are talking to, because the placements of the mic. The more I use these the more I'm liking them. I have quite a few open earbuds from the Tozo's, 1more, Soundpeats, and the Shokz. I do like the Shokz the best, but the Bose do sound good, if you place them in the lower part of your ear and they are very comfortable. They are supposed to be getting multipoint in a future update, but for now you can set a shortcut to switch to multiple devices.

For me they were worth every penny. I can wear them all day walking around the hospital, hear my surroundings, talk to coworkers (they can’t hear my music). I use noise cancelling for my bus commute, but the Open buds are on all day at work so I definitely feel like I’m getting my money’s worth out of them.

I agree on the price, but I'm sure it will come down soon after launch. I bought them for the way they sit in your ears. I am a big fan of the open style (I can't keep anything IN my ear for long periods) and have two pairs of oladance (home and work) for that reason. However, the oladance can sometimes be a chore to wear when I have on glasses. For me, that is the problem these solve. I'll probably keep using my oladance when I put in contacts but on glasses days these are it.

like the other commenters said, i can appreciate a non eccentric, over-the-top, "sell me your channel", quality review. Most of the time, I take a content creator's opinion with a grain of salt, but your review covered all the bases, was thoughtfully put together, and gave some pros and cons. much appreciated

Thank you for another great one! 👍

Very balanced and nice explanation! I really appreciate your opinion!! Thank you

Looking for an earbud that will stay while on long runs. I get really sweaty and my airpod pros slip out of my ear. Would you recommend these, or beats fit pro? 10km-20km length runs

The only Bose I ever owned was a pair of desktop speakers I got from my daughter for Christmas about 5 years ago.

Which ones are the best open earphones

Good review, cheers.

About audio quality - have you tried them lower down your ear? This would surely angle the driver more into your canal and get it closer?

I’ll definitely pick a pair up when then go on sale

Many new products start off like this, not all, but in the end cost is driven by demand. I purchased the Ultra and I personally love ❤them for when I travel. So, for a person like me who likes to be aware of my surroundings, it works (extravert). For those who like to be closed off, it may not be for them. Although there are lower cost options, the one thing the Ultra has going for it is the lack of ear fatigue, which is the opposite of what the other options gives its users. 😮

I miss your review… and opinion I wait for a wild you make the review AFTER I BUY IT !!! Thanks 🙏

I was almost excited when I saw an ad for them since my ear is shaped perfectly so that literally every EarPod just falls out no matter what I do but paying $300 for it is insane for what has to be like 15 dollars of materials

How do these compare to the huawei free clips ?

These are perfect especially if you don’t like something shoved in your ear and are very comfortable. I would give the audio 7/10 with little to no base.

Always like your reviews, short , direct and honest. These buds are very similar to bose frames but with speakers closer to the ear

There are a lot of good points here. One thing people miss is that they are glasses friendly. I've tried over the ear styles before, but they just hurt after a while with my glasses on, its one of the reasons I've stuck to a horseshoe desighn for a long time now. These will probably be my next pick-up even with the negatives, so I'll post back here in half a year on my thoughts.

Nice video brotha!! Please test out the new Sennheiser Momentum TWS 4 and compare them to the 3s'? Thank you.

hi there ? I need your help like real help. so please. I bought a lot of buds but I'm not getting what I want. I have liberty 4 and apple airpods pro 2 and beast studio buds but every one has a different problem apple is so flat no good bass in my opinion Samsung buds not so comfortable liberty just didn't like the power and sound signature and... please tell me between these wich one have the best sound and good power sound and sony link buds s . or beats fit pro . or razer hammered pro . or jbl live pro 2 or oneplus buds pro 2 or any in your mind ? for best bass and other stuff

Thank you very much!

I have Bose quiet comfort buds, they are excellent and they have transparent mode which turns off noise cancelation and amplifies surrounding sounds to mimic open style, if price comes down I may look at these as I prefer nothing in my ear.

PLEASE review soundcore C30i I’m sure you’d be pleased plus I wanna know your opinion

Great video! I have been rocking Bose frames glasses for I don’t know how long….until now! Altos and sopranos, i have my prescription lenses in them and I have to say Bose has a great warranty program that has been replacing my glasses until now. They have discontinued the glasses and they’ve offered me THESE as a warranty replacement. I should be receiving them any from Bose in the day now. I am gutted they stopped making the glasses, I like listening to music allot and like to able to talk to my crane operator as well as hear what’s going on around me so these should be pretty groovy! I think you’re right though I don’t wanna pay no CAD$400 for it. I’d pay a hun

Thanks for a great objective review! I've purchased many Bose speakers and headphones over the years and am frankly disappointed with their quality of late, especially given the price. Guess I'll keep looking.

can you make a video of jabra elite 10, i have small ears like you, i want to know the fit and secure❤

TWS sport earbuds from Walmart and online elsewhere. They rival the expensive ones without all the manufacturers hype. I have the sport behind the ear TWS $30.00 at Walmart about 4 years ago. Still going strong, no issues, connect fast. Keep in mind, all the earbuds are disposable after the batteries die. They fill the landfill.

Really thinking of these bc no earbuds have worked for me even the airpods with multiple adapters they keep slipping out while working out.

I’m surprised to hear you criticize the sound quality so much. I find the sound stage to be much better on these than any other pair of buds I’ve tried and there’s a certain quality to the open sound that I enjoy. You’re probably right that the bass could be stronger though.

Undoubtedly the best reviewer on KZfaq!!!!!

Respect! I like the design that’s why I copped them right away. Once I get stateside and can get them in ear I’ll leave another comment. End of the day people buy what they like and if they happy that’s what matters.

Well made video 👏👏

I love them, love the design, love the fact nothing is stuck in me ears, when I’m sweating during my workout the sweat doesn’t puddle up on the buds. Disclaimer, I did get them for $249 instead of the $300 on the website. Even if though, what brand new ear buds don’t cost that from a high end brand.

How is the bass compared to Huawei FreeClip? Thank you for detailed review

A few days ago I bought some Bose Open Ultra and I have a small problem with them. When starting a sound, a sound like "ssssss" is heard in the background and when the sound ends it continues for a few seconds until it turns off completely

@ceonthemaking WHICH OPEN EAR BUDS OFFER BETTER SOUND THAT THESE bose ultra? That hold a similar design?

from a cyclist perspective i think they're really interesting ,especially while wearing glases and stuff the way they attach to the ear is nice .Not sure tho if the sound would be sufficient while having winds and riding speeds from like 20mph

I’m watching your video on my TV that has the Bose 700 soundbar with the subwoofer and 2 rear surround speakers. I have had multiple problems so as expensive as this setup was I am disappointed to say the least. I have the Ultra ear buds and the Ultra over ear headphones. I like them both. The earbuds lack multipoint and that is disappointing. The over ear model works well but not better than my QC35 II. I’m still a fan boy but in the future, if I replace any of these systems, I won’t just buy the Bose without doing a significant comparison. Especially in the Sound Bar category.

They are expensive for sure, but the fit and comfort of these cannot be understated. Over the ear units fall off, and need to be adjusted regularly and these stay put and cause zero pain. That alone is worth the money to me.

Great video,

This is perfect, I’ve been loving the QCultras, but like to have awareness at the gym and outside. Thanks for telling me these exist! 👍

Huawei Free Clip vs Bose Ultra Open earbuds. Those two have similar designs, but which one has better sound and features?

I am a Bose fan, but wouldn't pay more than $200 for these. The aware mode works well on the quietcomfort ultra earbuds. But, drop to $200 and I'll use these for workouts/running.

Can you compare it to the Huawei Freeclip earbuds and the Baseus AS01 TWS Earbuds?

Suenan increíble ❤❤

I’m interested and like the style but not for $300 crazy and it’s not even wireless charging TF

So which open earbuds have the most bass and richness in sound quality in your opinion

Another great review man 💯💪 I like the "different" aspect of these, but they just not for me. I wanna block out the world when I listen to my music most of the time

Do these amplify ambient sound? I have some hearing loss and don't wanna spend $5000 for hearing aids!

any review on the playstaion pulse elite heaphones?

What are the other open style earbuds you recommend?

Not two things... three things NC, Sound Quality and comfort It looks like very comfortable but Im not sure the looks for man. But when apple earpods came out, it was wired look too

Muy impresionantes ya deseo que los vendan en Amazon porque los busco y no aparecen pero si aparecen en el de USA los voy a comparar de allá haces muy buenos videos 👍👏👌saludos desde México 🇲🇽👋

I love this design! Regular buds never fit right … I’ma Afterpay it 😅

I would really love to watch their comparison with the Samsung Live Buds which cost around 80$

Bro can u also review Redmi buds 5 pro? Love ur content fr

Yo just got a pair, did the high noise floor on the buds not bother you? It's pretty annoying to me

How has the call quality been so far?

These are perfect for poker players, not having to remove/put back earbuds or remove headphones all evening long is huge. One click I can hear everything, and one click Ihe music is back. Never have to move them all night long and cant feel them on at all.

Better to look for another option with Bluetooth for multiple channels

its designed to repicate a feeling of listening to a stereo system but almost in ear ! 🎉

Annker all the way...great product and sound

lack of wireless charging, multipoint connection and less music for the same price :D but I think their microphones work better than in QC Ultra...and it turns out that open earbuds have only 2 microphones per ear bud! What that means? It means that 4 microphones in each earbud Bose Ultra are badly implemented!

Good for work and maybe the gym.

This are for quiet places or walking alone in street

Both ear buds were charged to 100%. I took them out and listened to music for sometime. The battery on the left went down to 90% while right showed 70%. After some more listening, the right went down to 50% while left was at 70%. Any one experiencing this?

When you're a father/husband, you can't use regular earbuds that block out ambient noise/sound. When the wife calls you from upstairs, you had better answer :) I have the Bose Sport Open ear and love them. But I don't think the newer ones are worth the money.

Thanks for the review! I was on the fence about these ear buds-I love my various Bose products but the price for these for what they deliver just didn't seem to add up. Now I know I won't be buying them 👍

Please do a comparison review between these and the Huawei Freeclip. They're better than these in just about every objective criteria, and they're only about 60% of the price. Might be hard to get you hands on a pair if you live in the US though. They do work with all phones, not just Huawei. But you do need to go the apk route to get the Huawei AI app if you don't have the Huawei app store.

What music service do you use

The price point is definitely to high look for them to probably go on sale very soon

Can you use one or the other headphone individually like the AirPods?

Just ! No noise cancellation?!

Nice honest review very expensive tho not worth it 👍

Yeah I think the price is probably going to cover the R&D required to make this work. So you’re paying mainly for the design.

$300 is crazy! But that design is tuff too!😭. If they were like $150 then I would probably buy em

Crazy these are more than the quiet comfort ultra! Maybe they are diamond studded? The design is unique and fun to see change. Love me, my Sony's, though. Thanks for another awesome review!

Wow what are these at that price

Great review. Only last week, I saw a pair of earbuds like this from Huawei. They wrap around the ear and are shaped so oddly, I didn't at first know how to wear them. Only took a sec. Anyway, they're neat, though I ended up going with a pair of Huawei pro earbuds, because the sound quality is so good.

The design is interesting but, like you say, the price is the problem.

They are great but not 300 more like 120 at most

Idk the jury is still out . I like the design but no one’s really talking enthusiastically about sound quality only the design

I got the quiet comfort Ultra. Took them back and bought wf 5. The Sony were far superior

After my first pair of earplugs from bose the battery life after 2 years has deteriorated. Shame coz I love the sound quality but never again ill buy another bose earplug

Are these better then airpods 3 ????
