Never loose
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best ear piece that I have got before that does not fall off and does not hurt your ear. Have bought Beats, Apple, Sony and one it would hurt or fall off. This have never fall or hurt. It the best I have ever got.

Bowls open your earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can’t go wrong with the open ear Bose earbuds for sound quality and protecting of your ears not having to insert them in your ear canal. It saves on damage to your inner ear. I suggest you buy this product in the Bose system sounds great so if you’re looking for a pair of earbuds, try those out I recommend it.

Very happy with these.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to try something different. I'm a big AirPod user. Both Pro and Max. These are nice to not have my ears entirely contained or plugged. I was very pleasantly surprised with the sound quality. These are great to use when I'm around my family and still want to be involved with what's going on around us.

Fit caused issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They did not fit good on my ears. I dont know if my earlopes are too big on the part the headphones go, but they just didnt feel secure and the volume was very low. I could only hear my music if the volume was turned up about 80% full volume. Anything less than 50% and i couldnt hear it, unless i pushed the speaker part down into my ear. The sound quality for when i could hear it was great. For me it was just the fit that caused issues. I had to return.

Perfect Fit
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fit is perfect. These can be worn all day. The sound quality is just okay and callers often say they either can't hear me well or I sound muffled. If your using it to just listen to music or your favorite podcast, then this is your choice...just don't make any important phone calls.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive, but worth it. Great sound quality even though it’s open ear and these buds stay secured even during work outs and are very comfortable. These are excellent when it’s important to hear ambient sound while listening to music and they are also very innovative in styling and get noticed a lot.

Get it only if you want to splurge.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, you'd think it'll have wireless charging and much longer battery life. Sure, the audio quality is top notch. But for an open earbud, I think it's over priced even with the sale. The color blue is nice though. Get this if you want to splurge and are Bose loyalist. But if you're practical, you will want something better-- with more features, and for a lower price point.

Best earbuds ever
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In all honesty i wasnt sure what to expect with these headphones, sound is great gets lound enough where you can drown out other people and just jam works great for working as i never have to take them off and i can still have a conversation. Also no one knows they are earbuds they just assume they are earings

They won’t fall out!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have big ears, and these bad boys stay put! These are the first wireless ear pods I've owned that never fall out, even when I'm running. They're definitely worth the hefty price tag. The sound quality is exactly what you'd expect from Bose—no complaints there.
