Design not good

Work great for their intended design purpose.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As posted here in reviews as well the various online reviews, these are definitely for a specific niche and will fit that niche quite nicely. I like to have music to ease through the day. I work with my hands (mechanic, handyman, etc) so I need to have earphones for phone calls and notifications while working and still have the noise/voices around me audible at a normal level. When hiking or exercising around an area that you need to hear your surroundings, these are great. If you need to isolate yourself from the damned music and chatter at a gym, for example, these are not for that since they are designed to allow you to hear the surroundings. The quality of the music from these ( basically a small speaker above/outside your ear) is amazing. I wear glasses and with just a bit of fiddling, I can find a nice, comfortable fit. I think the unusually large "pads" that fit behind the ears help to "spread the load" and help eliminate the hot spots. As of this review, they have not added the feature to be able to control the volume from the buds but that is supposedly coming. I thought that would be a deal-breaker for me but I have adapted.

Not my cup of tea
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For me they were to big. I guess my ears were too small. They wouldn’t sit in place. Downfall is the case isn’t a charging case, so would have to take out put on charger and then put back in case. Lots of extra steps doesn’t hold a charge long.

Posted .Hello! The case is only a carry case for the earbuds.
When your workout’s done, snap the earbuds onto the charging base, so they’re always ready to go. Just two hours fully charges your earbuds and gets you up to eight hours of continuous play. Or a quick 30-minute charge gets you up to three hours.

Battery life is terrible - @ Bose, please help!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is very good and the fit is fine (a little heavy but I can deal with that) My main complaint is the battery life. I just got done working out for 30 minutes (listening to music only) and the depleted 20% of the battery life. Is that normal?
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .Hey Melisa,
It's really great that you're enjoy the sound quality and fit. I'm sorry that you may be facing a battery issue.
The battery life for these earbuds is 8 hours, so losing 20% within 30 minutes does sound a little more than expected. However, it also depends on the listening volume and if you left them off charge before/after. I recommend monitoring the battery depletion. If it does seem like the earbuds are lasting a lot less than they should, check out our troubleshooting recommendations here - https://bose.life/2ZnFC10.
If the issue persists after that, please do reach out to our customer support for assistance - https://bose.life/2WZOG8Z.
Thanks,

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these things. They sound great for the style of headphones that they are. Bass is nice and the all around sound is very nice. They can get a little bit painful around the ear but genrally they are fine. I highly recommend these.

Gift for husband
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased these for my husband who wanted a pair of wireless earbuds that go inside his ears. Once he figured out how to adjust the volume, and the correct way to charge them, they are great! I didn't give a full 5 stars because you have to use the app to enable the volume control function on the earbuds.

Much better than I dreamed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these with some apprehension wondering if they would be comfortable, cumbersome, have awesome sound, and how well they would actually work with sound quality of music and letting me hear what's going on around me. I primarily wanted a headset that would let me ride my road bike and hear what's approaching. First, let me say they are incredibly comfortable and STAY IN PLACE- unlike my earbuds that usually end up falling out. The sound is great and I was amazed how well i could hear cars approaching - and even dog nails clicking on wood floors- EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. So much so I bought a pair for my brother who rides with 1 earbud in. Extra bonus is they seem to work with my Garmin devices and give a beep (or at least let me hear a beep) from my Garmin rear radar that lets me knows cars ar approachign.

Been looking for these my whole life!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m one of those people that can’t wear in-ear buds so these are what I have been looking for for years. They sound great and are comfortable. It’s a shame the battery doesn’t stay charged long.

Hard plastic design was a bad idea.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Two stars because, while the sound quality (as you would expect from Bose of course great) the fit of them was incredibly uncomfortable. They're supposed to fit around your ears and not in your ears. But they're made out of rigid hard plastic and never really sit on your ear the way want.

Decent but not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these last week and was eager to try them out , they are good but not what I was hoping for. It hurts behind your ears after a while. Call quality is not great. Sound quality is not wow, but it’s decent. Build quality is very good but I don’t plan on keeping these. Jabra and Apple pods do it for me. These do not bridge the gap that I was hoping for .

Posted .Hey!
I'm glad to hear that you think the build quality is good!
I'm sorry to hear that the earbuds hurt your ears. This can be due to them not being correctly seated in the ear. I have included a video here: https://bose.life/3a4WcHU, which may be helpful to you.

Comfortable
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Galaxy buds live and regular galaxy buds and wired in the ear headphones from various manufacturers. I have always had issues with the fit in my ear. My ears would start hurting after 20 minutes or so. So , I was looking for an over the ear option that could deliver decent music but more importantly wasn't bulky . These headphones do both . Music sounds "great" for an over the ear type setup and I can wear them for longer duration. ( Galaxy buds live had awesome music delivery ) Battery life is OK . But , for me it solved the problem of not being comfortable while using in the ear type headphones/ buds. It takes some getting used to , to adjust them around your ear. But that's not a problem after a few days of use. I know these are being targeted towards "active" people as they let some ambient noise in , but surprisingly ( not sure if it's a good thing ) at medium to slightly high sound you don't hear a lot of what's going around you . They fit snuggly and don't fall off. Overall a great product.

Either a C+ or B- Effort by Bose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clearly that Bose is pushing to market early and will come out with a 2nd generation. Concept of the item is great. But drawbacks are: case is not chargeable like a competitors, charging device is very awkward to travel with, can only pair with one device at a time whereas other Bose products I could pair with both iPhone and IPad at the same time.

Great Earbuds!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great earbuds, even for an active person. These are worn to a workplace where there is constant movement. They stay in place and never fall off. Bose have been the best earbuds that our family has purchased.

Great sounds
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these. The sounds is great and they stay on my ears really well. The only down side I have and it is very small is that they do make my ears a little sore at the top after having them on for a long period of time.

bass treble mid sound... is very nice
||Posted .

Don’t fit.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted an open ear headphone that didnt have the band that runs behind the head. Saw these and was excited to find some designed like I wanted. However, these do not work for me. The right one will not fit around my ear even if I try putting it on while looking in a mirror. The left one will go around my ear, but it takes a while to place it correctly. It doesn’t feel secure once on either. If the curved part that goes around the ear was flexible it’d probably be a great design. I get aggravated so badly trying to get them on that i just put them back in the case. I thought my ears were shapped normal so I can’t figure out why they dont fit properly.

Bose open earbuds
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These ear buds are comfortable since they are wirn over the ear. The sound quality is amazing. The only downside is that they do not charge in their storage case. The charger is separate from the case.

This would be the ultimate earbud accept I wear gl
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This would be the ultimate earbud accept I wear glasses. The are hard plastic and don’t conform or hold on and the mask plus’s glasses leaves little for these to stay on even though they kinda did. I caught them before they could fall off each time. Make them sold for able rubber and they would be perfect!
