    Very tough to get over your ears. Air pods are louder but fall out when exercising heavy. Not worth the money. Syncing up isn’t easy either.

      Hi!

      Bose Sport Open Earbuds were designed and tested for a stable fit. They’re purposefully molded to follow the natural curve of your ear, resting securely in place without covering it. OpenAudio technology directs high-quality sound toward you, while leaving your ears open. It’s a more natural listening experience than traditional earbuds.
      It has a magnetic charging base, a quick 30-minute charge gets you up to three hours. 2 hours of full charge, gets you up to eight hours.

    Great sound like anything Bose designs but the actual functional designs diver do it for me. The fall off your ear pretty easily and if you wear sunglasses when running you are in trouble, uncomfortable and not functional at all. Nowadays if you want to go somewhere you have to wear a face mask... so, sunglasses + facemask simply not even worth it. Tried to like them but ended up returning them... the designs simply does not work. Personal opinion.

    Pros-Easy to setup, looks good, 70% charged right out of the box ready for use, quality of sound very good for being outside of the ear, love that the hearing is free and clear no muffling, impressive! Cons-don't like the ear hooks, thick, solid and bulky, no flexibility no cushion for the ear , if you have good eyes your good to go, if you wear glasses not so good.

    Made for Sport not for Leisure

    I was skeptical about the purchase but my in ear Bose sound sports kept sliding out my ear when I went into beast mode on intense workouts. Eventually, I knew enough was enough and I needed something more secure and able to stay in place, so I got the outer ear Bose . Wow, was I impressed! Not only did they stay in when I was determined to knock them off but they didn’t move. Most importantly, they didn’t go directly into my ear canal so I could hear my music clearly, as well as everything around me. I’m happy about the purchase because I need my music and my workout cues coming through the audio plugs. I have read other post how some people complained about base but that wasn’t a concern for me, it was the quality of music that exceeded my standards of what workout ear plugs should be about. Also, I want to point out that these are for sport, not for leisure wear. These are for the people that train in either high or low intensity workouts. For those that want a leisure pair get the Bose pair that are more comfortable for all day wear but for those who are serious about the workout music then these are Boss/ Bose . Let me not forget , they even went well with my glasses and or shades during the workout.

    Just got these. Listening to them now. Not sure what to make of this very unique item. Figured out how to put them on and they sound pretty good. But you need to crank up the bass on whatever equipment you have. Bose needs to step up with Bose Music app to provide EQ support for other new devices than just the NC 700 over ears. I have a Samsung phone so I can adjust the universal EQ and they sound pretty good.

      Hi there, I am so glad that you loved the audio quality from your earbuds. I am sorry to hear they were not the right fit for you. To get the best fit, slide the earhook behind your ear and rotate it back until it rests gently over the top of your ear. The earbud should rest over the top of your ear.
      An important thing to check is to make sure you wear the correct earbud on the correct ear. Look for the L (left) and R (right) markings on the inside surface of each earbud.

    I love Bose. I have just about everything Bose in my household. This one I am returning. It hurt my ears. I want a wireless buds, but this one I don't get the real sound like the other Bose earphones I have, plus like I said earlier they hurt my ears. Now I know from the comments some people are really pleased with this item (and this was the reason I got them) but for me it just didn't work and the sound wasn't the sound I'm use to with Bose.

      Hey there,
      I'm sorry to learn that you have decided to return your Bose Open-Ear Headphones because they hurt your ears.
      If you are experiencing discomfort, it is likely due to the earbuds not being in the correct position. We have a great, informative video here: https://bose.life/3a4WcHU, which will help you to fit the earbuds correctly.
      Thanks!

    I returned them. I love that they did not have to go into the ear. I really wanted to like them but couldn’t. I found them a bit uncomfortable with my glasses on. Also, I didn’t like the small buttons to advance music. I like the tap feature of other brands (other Bose and beat brands). There was a lot of bulk on the back part of the ear piece. I will hold out for future versions.
