      Hi, Ryan! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We’re happy to hear that the earbuds fit well and deliver sound quality you enjoy. You also mentioned that they could be louder, and we appreciate you letting us know.

      Sometimes, reduced volume can happen when the earbuds aren’t seated properly in the ear. A quick adjustment, such as gently rotating the earbuds for a secure seal, can often enhance both loudness and overall audio performance.

      At Bose, we’re committed to making sure you get the best possible experience. To help you get the most out of your earbuds, we’ve prepared a simple guide that walks you through proper fit and sound optimization: https://bose.life/49NIHLr

      If you need any help or would like personalized tips, just contact us using this link: https://bose.life/49SSe5s Just let us know!

    Bought these for my wife as she can’t stand the Apple air pods. These are comfortable and are like mini speakers for your ears. I thought others around her would hear them but you can’t. Sound quality is amazing! Well done!

    How great these earbuds are! I purchased these for my wife, who is allergic to the silicone featured inside of normal earbuds. These buds don’t have silicone that sits in your ear, and instead, the speaker fires downward into your ear canal. The result is very interesting, because you can hear the music just as clearly as regular earbuds, but your ear are still open. I became so jealous of hers, that I actually purchased another pair for myself, and I love them! I still find myself using regular earbuds too, like when on a plane, because you can hear the music coming off these if you turn them up really high. However, for doing things around the house, or going walking, bike riding, etc, they are wonderful, because I can keep my ears open to listen for my kid, or cars. In some ways, these are the best sounding earbuds I’ve ever had. The bass is remarkable, and is just as good as my regular Bose earbuds.

    I am impressed with these ear buds. I play tennis with them and the immersion sound is fabulous. I can be on the court and still hear players around me or the pro if in a clinic. I have always been a huge apple fan. Have the apple AirPod pro’s and they are great for sound isolation but there is no comparison to the sound if listening to music. I love these in the gym. I can have the immersion sound on not have to listen to the chatter of other members but can hear and speak to anyone that talks directly to me. Best of both worlds. I can run with them on and they are very comfortable. I watch movies in the house on my iPad and can still hear what’s going on around me but have great sound at the same time. The only down side for me is I can not use them for phone calls on a walk outside. Cars going past me drown out the other person speaking to me. If Im walking and just listening to music no problem the cars do not bother me but it’s not possible to have a conversation near a busy road. I will use my apple AirPods for that. They are a little on the expensive side but that can be said of all Bose products. I think they are worth it!

    Great design! I can’t even feel them on my ears. Sound blocks out the surrounding noise even though it is an open ear design. I haven’t used it on my run to see how well it stays in. Great on an airplane to drown out the other passengers.

    Excellent ear buds with great sound. What I like best is the clip on design as I can have great quality sound without having something in my ear. They are also extremely comfortable and can wear them for hours.

    The sound quality and comfort is better than any other open earbud I have tried and it’s not even close. The main issue is the microphone and price. Quite frankly, the microphone is abysmal and by far its biggest performance weakness. The other major issue is it is way too expensive for a product like this when other open-ears are considerably cheaper. I ultimately returned it in favor of a more economical open-ear option.

      Hello Brad,

      It's great that you liked the sound quality and comfort of the earbuds. I understand you've returned the earbuds, but should you decide to try the earbuds again. I'd recommend ensuring that the earbuds are positioned correctly on the ear to get the best mic performance from the earbuds. We have a guide available to help with getting the best position of the earbuds here: https://bit.ly/4gKCK4z

      We'd also love to help should you try the earbuds again, please reach out: https://bose.life/contact

    Sound quality and comfort is excellent. Great headphones because you can still hear the outside world and does not compromise sound quality.

    I wish I’d made this purchase a lot sooner. The quality is clear, I thought I’d have an issue with the sound, by the pods sitting on my ear lobe, and not in my ear, no issues AT ALL! I got LITERAL sores in my ear from the Apple iPods. I am a REAL FAN, of all BOSE products.

    Love them, I suffer from ear fatigue and have issues with things going in my ear. I almost for get they are on and with my dark hair it makes them nearly invisible. The only con I think Being on after a full day wearing non stop can hurt your ear a bit but nothing compared to the ear fatigue I use to get using in ear head phones or even ear head phones

    Having used multiple brands of in-earbuds, using these Open-Ear Bose Earbuds was a unique experience. And, frankly, I love the experience. I can wear them all day and not have any fatigue, unlike having a silicon tip lodged in my ear canal. I wear them everywhere, no one takes a second look to see them clipped on my ear. Wearing them all day is like having a soundtrack to life everywhere I go. I have also listened to podcasts more frequently as it is convenient and can be done so in the course of a normal day's activities. The sound quality is good, and better than I expected. It's not an in-ear experience, but quite satisfactory (and I am picky about my sound as an audiophile). This is an amazing first attempt by Bose, and the next reiteration should even improve. NOTE: If you try these and think the sound doesn't work for you, move them around and adjust the angles on your ear, it makes a difference with individual placement. I found the sweet spot for me and it was vastly improved over my first placement.
