    Liked the sound, but the fit wasn't good for me personally. I h2avw small ears and they kept falling off. Didn't like the ability for eceryone to be able to hear your conversation. Otherwise they're a great product.

    if the headphones had a little rubber grip to them also some flexibility n slightly thinner for the part that sits on the back of your ear ...it would of been nice if the case was the actual charger which would keep the earbuds in place... it is not necessary to have a charger and a case that is not magnetic to keep the earbuds in place ....instead of flying everywhere when I open it up...more simple and easier to carry with u Did NOT work well with my note 4 I was not able to adjust the sound louder it was on the quieter side and the app itself could never find the earbuds which was a super disappointment for a Bose product But it work just fine with my iPhone 8 and Mac Pro Fit well and light have to get used to it keep assuming I have to adjust it because it is a different fit...hard plastic n a bit on the thicker side will put too much pressure without knowing at some point it will become bothersome after a long wear

    WOW WOW WOW the sound quality is INSANE on these. I have a pair of Aftershokz bone conduction headphones and I don't think the sound quality is that great for music. I use them now exclusively for phone calls, zoom and teams meetings, etc. But these headphones are amazing! I couldn't be happier, except if Bose made the case a charge case. Instead, there's a separate charger for them. BAD idea and the designers should be ashamed. But I'll forgive the design flaw because the sound quality is ridiculous, considering they're not plugged into your ear.

    Great sound - typical rich Bose sound. Comfortable on the ear- keeps in place while exercising. Only negative is that it doesn’t hold a charge. In 2-3 days without use the battery drains up to 50%+.

    I specifically picked these up for work, as I usually like the "over-the-ear" / can style of headphones, but, I didn't want to completely close myself off from hearing sounds, or, not being able to answer someone if they talk to you! These are outstanding! GREAT sound and comfortable! Minor annoyance, as others have pointed out, is the lack of a case that also charges. I have a feeling I'll be keeping these!

    Should be noted this is my first ever review of a product. Not one to complain. Not impressed with these headphones! Biggest complaint is the battery life. Have never gotten 8 hours of battery life per charge yet! Charged these headphones and was not able to use them for a few days and when I put them on the battery was at 70%. Just cannot believe that they don’t hold a better charge not being used. Battery percent when headphones tell me what the battery percent is never match what the app says the battery life should be. Buttons are small and hard to use. Wish you could charge headphones with case. Sounds quality is impressive and what we all have come to expect from Bose! Debating returning and going back to Beats.

      Hi Bryan,

      It's great to hear you are impressed by the sound quality of your earbuds! The earbuds will provide up to 8 hours of playback from a full charge, so if you are getting much less than this then the troubleshooting here will help! https://bose.life/3kPEM7e

    They sounded great but they are not for everyone. The fit for me made my ears hurt because the over the ear part is hard plastic and it does not flex. I would have kept them if I could wear them longer then 10mins with it hurting.

    Love to use these for my morning runs. Sound and volume is great but only listen to podcasts so unsure with music. Never fallen off ears while running which is great and fills me confidence. First pair broke after a few months (pairing and battery issues) but super impressed with bose who replaced with no questions asked and second pair have been perfect since. Bose customer care filled me with confidence and would recommend no questions asked! So impressed that I have since brought a pair of tempos to run with to.

    THE GOLD STANDARD

    As a cyclist, I've been looking for the perfect headphones for a while now. I tried cheaper knock-offs, then JBL wireless, then Powerbeats Pro, which were the best of them all. However, the quality of the sound of the Powerbeats I thought was mediocre and the wind noise as I rode was distracting. More importantly, city riding with earbuds is a real danger, especially here in Los Angeles, where you need ALL of your senses to survive traffic. When I heard about these Open Earbuds, I thought, "Okay, it looks like I'm going to drop more cash and just cross my fingers." I received them today, popped them in (they were charged!), paired them with my Apple Watch, and went for a ride. I won't hyperventilate about them, but these are the BEST earbuds I've ever had. The bass is astonishing, as is the overall sound quality, they don't make my earholes itch, the fit is comfortable, and most importantly, I can still hear traffic. I never knew I needed these until I got them. I will only buy Bose earbuds from now on. The. Gold. Standard.

    Love that it doesn't go inside the ear plugging it and giving that underwater sensation to the ear Wish the battery life was longer. Great disadvantage is that You can't use the left ear piece while right ear piece is being charged.

    While I am very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these earbuds, I am very disappointed with the battery life. If I don’t use the earbuds for a couple of days, the earbuds which I have stored fully charged and turned off will only be at about 20% charge, so they are not ready when I need them. Today, they dropped ten percent of their charge in the hour after I removed them from the charger before I used them.

      Hey! I'm pleased you love the sound and comfort of the Open Earbuds. One full charge will only take 2 hours and provides 8 hours of battery life. The battery life will perform differently based on the volume you set your audio at, but if you're finding you do not receive 8 hours please do reach out to support at https://bose.life/38Q1vZs so we can put things right!

    I have had these headphones for almost a year and I can not can recommend them. They fit well for me and are comfortable. They are easy to put on after a few times getting used to them. For the most part they stay in place once on. They have a feature that allows you to tap the headphone to raise and lower the volume. That does not work well when running. Often when running, the volume will raise and lower on its own and I have to turn the feature off. This does not happen with other activities. The case does not allow for charging. You need to put them in a charging base and then transfer them to the case when charging is complete. Why?? Why not combine the two? There is also a problem with the headphones holding a charge. If I do not use them for even a day, they start to lose their charge. Again, why? These are some significant issues and I cannot recommend these. Look elsewhere!!

      Hi there - glad to hear you're a fan of the comfort of the Open Earbuds. The provided charging base charges your earbuds in 2 hours to provide 8 hours of battery life. The provided carry case helps you from keeping hold of your earbuds without damaging them. If you're noticing short battery life please try the troubleshooting at https://bose.life/3uiLffB. The touch controls should only activate under a firm press, but please try the steps at https://bose.life/2XqMCww to ensure they're working correctly. If the difficulties persist, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at https://bose.life/38Q1vZs so we can help you resolve things. Sam - Bose Customer Support bose
