Honest opinion!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are amazing! I use them for work as i like to listen to music yet have to still be able to listen to my surroundings. They are also super comfortable with no ear fatigue as many earbuds tend to give you. Last but not least if you are looking for complete noise canceling earbuds these are not it! But if u need to be alert from ur surroundings while listening to music, DO NOT hesitate and buy these!

I wanted to love them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the first month I swore by them. Most comfortable ear buds I’ve ever worn. Great battery life and Perfect for cycling and day to day wear. So comfortable I almost got in the shower with them on because I forgot I had them on. Only down fall and I’ve experienced this with other Bose earbuds they just don’t stand the test of time and with these it was a very short time. After 2 months the left earbud went out and would work every so often to where I would just wear the right earbuds and leave the left in the case just because I wanted to use these earbuds so bad. I eventually returned them and went back to wear AirPods. Until next time Bose :(

Its alright
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the design but - battery dies easily. Can't last a 6 hour flight. Connecting to phone is tricky everytime. Need to remove it so many times, put it back to the case, then put it back to my ear again. Anyway, this is just the first version - can't wait for them to make this one better.

Best open headphones that exist.
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product limited by current firmware/software. The design and fit are incredible, I use these daily and no longer reach for my airpods. Some Cons: Constant static sound when in ear and audio is not playing (facebook,Reddit,etc) Bluetooth occasionaly wont reconnect and buds desync. also for $300 not having included wireless charging is a bummer

Great earbuds, but be careful!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great-sounding open-air earbuds. So light you really would forget they're on your ears but for the wonderful sound, but be careful. While you can't shake them off during exercise, you can easily brush them off. After pausing my music while in a convenience store, one of the buds came off when put my hood back on in a slight rain. Panic! Fortunately, it got stuck between my hoodie and my shoulder. So, great earbuds, but be careful.

Bose open ear
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have great sound and are extremely comfortable; however, it does not make up for the poor connectivity, the terrible microphone and high cost. Go for shokz instead.

Comfortable, unintrusive, good sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does exactly what they're meant to do. Provide good sound, all day comfort and leave you open to natural ambient sounds.

Great Sound and Stays In-Place
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was easy and the sound quality is great even being an open-ear model. The best thing I like, besides the sound, is that they clip-on and stay put. I'm able to move seamlessly between two devices, my phone and tablet.

Overall great sound quality but connectivity issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the sound quality and the light design of the earbuds but I am having some short connectivity loss often (like a cracking sound in both ears) when I run with them. I hope Bose can fix this issue soon. Firmware has been updated and I have no issues with other Bose earbuds in same condition.
