    Great concept but a horrible battery! I absolutely hate that I spent $200 on these things. I have always been a Bose fan but I am very disappointed in these. I would not recommend them!

      Hello,

      The Open Earbuds offer a battery life of up to eight hours per charge with just two hours of charging. In addition, if they run out, you can get up to three hours of playback on a quick 30-minute charge. If you're experiencing less than this, I recommend contacting our support team via http://bose.life/globalsupport. We'll be happy to assist.

      Kind regards,

      Jeff - Bose Customer Support bose

    When they work, I like them. I have had two sets since 3/6/2021 and both have failed with very light use. I expected more from Bose. The exchange process is also not easy.

    Trail running companion

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I like to stay active and run on paved surfaces as well as trails for 1 to 5 miles depending on how I am feeling on any given day. I have various noise cancelling headphones that work well for running, but I tend to not use them when running on trails because I want to hear if there is a rattle snake or anything else ahead. This is where the Bose Sport Open Earbuds come in. they allow me to hear the environment while listening to my music, akin to open headphones. At first the Bose Sport Open Earbuds feel weird since they lay flat at the top of your ear and maintain their position via an ear hook. I have been used to earbuds going into my ear canal, and eventually falling out when I run (which is why I resorted to headphones instead of earbuds). The ear hooks work much better for me because I don’t need to worry about the Bose Sport Opens falling out. The earbuds are made of a solid plastic and I didn’t see any spots that would concern me if sweat got in. Spatial awareness comes at a cost, and in this case it’s bass. There is no bass from these earbuds at all, therefore if you need thumping bass to get you going, look elsewhere. Also, the earbuds charge wirelessly on a separate base which is not as convenient as the airpods solution where the earbuds can stay in the carrying case and wirelessly charge from the case. As a runner, I don’t mind the lack of bass but I know some runners really need bass to amp them up. I am happy to sacrifice base for otherwise great sound quality, comfort, and without having to worry about my earbuds falling out of my ears.

    These earbubs are a little different than what I'm use to and surprisingly work very well. It took a little practice for me to find a good fit where it felt comfortable and didn't fall out while exercising. These are not the earbub that goes into your ear canal, they actually rest on the top part of the ear with a hook. My left ear fit really well and no issues but the right ear took longer to get a good fit. I reread the directions and realized it was fitting properly even though it felt loose, it was stable and stayed on my ear during my jogging and running. I guess my left and right ears are shaped differently. Also, I wear eyeglasses and found it was easier if I removed my glases while getting it to fit. In my left ear, I could wear it all day and not notice it's there but my right eye, by the time I was done working out, I was ready to take it off because it started getting uncomfortable where the plastic hook was behind my ear. Like I said my ears must be shaped very different. It looks a little different but I really like this style because the sound was good and clear and I can still hear talking and traffic. It made me feel safer on my jogging and running. Because it feels and looks different, it took a few extra days of using it to really feel comfortable with it. The app works well to and gives some options. I find the battery life to be pretty good, I mostly use it for working out, jogging, running, using treadmill, elliptical, and bike so battery last 3 days for me. It comes with a nice case, but the case doesn't recharge the battery, which is a minus for me. Because I have to wait till I get home to recharge it. I wish the charger was built into the case which would be so convenient. I was able to receive phone calls on these and calls were very clear even though it wasn't in my ear canal. Overall, I like this for working out because it stays put and I don't worry about it falling out. The sound is great, no issues there. The plus of being able to both listen to music and hear traffic sounds for safety. But my right ear getting uncomfortable towards end of workout and the case not able to recharge are my two concerns but everything else is a plus.
