Excellent Sounding Open Ear Buds for Biking, Walks
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.

Awesome earbuds for awareness
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.

Great
I am very happy with my new Bose earbuds. The sound quality is excellent with deep bass, clear vocals, and great overall balance. They are very comfortable to wear for long periods and fit securely in my ears. The noise cancellation works really well, helping me focus whether I am at home, at work, or traveling. Battery life is impressive, and the connection to my phone is fast and reliable. Overall, this is one of the best audio products I have purchased, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for premium wireless earbuds.

MY DAILY USE
I really love the design and style of the Bose Open Ear headphones. They look really nice and feel lightweight. The sound quality is good, even when I keep the volume low, which is how I usually listen to my music. If you turn the volume all the way up, people around you can hear it if you’re in a quiet room, but that doesn’t bother me because I never use full volume. My favorite part is the different listening modes. It feels like the music stays in one place, so when I turn my head, it feels like the music is following me. It’s a really cool experience. I also like that they don’t go inside my ears. They’re comfortable to wear, but after studying with them for a few hours, my ears start to hurt a little. I think that’s just because I’m still getting used to wearing them. Overall, I LOVE these headphones. They’re stylish, comfortable, and sound great. I would definitely buy another pair in a different color, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for open ear headphones.

5 out of 5 stars hands down
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 ⭐️
