A:AnswerNo, I use theme every day in the gym for all kinds of workouts. Long as you use the right ear size form you should be pretty golden. They use the same style forms as all the Bose buds so they stay snug while keeping even pressure and not having any harsh pressure points in your ear. They do NOT block noise and seal up your ear either, so to me that's a great thing.
A:AnswerYes you can use either ear piece and have a conversation but the right ear piece controls the voice command and phone calls so you will ultimately need to use that one to start/end the call. Also if you are using the left ear piece to talk you cannot place the right one into the charger during the conversation As that will disconnect the headphones (since it is the main one). You can however have the left headphone in the charger while still using the right ear piece.
A:AnswerNo, you can not swim with these. Even if they could withstand the water pressure, they would not stay in with how far out they tend to stick out. Sorry
A:AnswerThese should be good for all phones, Bose used to make specific model back in the day for their Bluetooth devices but not anymore. Double tap middle button to skip, single to pause and then you have the 2 volume buttons.
A:AnswerYes you can, however from my experience the audio quality isn't that great, the voices seem muffled and you'll only get audio coming from the right earpiece.
A:AnswerAs long as they are not used for a windows OS like a laptop or desk top or a windows phone you should be ok. I just returned two sets due to them not being compatible with Windows operating systems. I know with Samsung and Iphones they were working pretty well.
