    Let me start off with, I have the Bose quiet comfort earbuds and they are my all-time favorite pair of earbuds that I own (and I own quite a bit of earbuds:)) anyway, since I already know that Bose has amazing audio products, I purchased these because at my job I am not permitted to wear two earbuds at a time due to safety and communication issues. But with these buds I can wear both and still be aware of my surroundings. They also have been amazing for wearing around the house, and still being able to hear people at my door, and engage in conversation with my music running in the background. I also wore these outdoor in the rain, and they operated perfectly due to the button control and no touch sensor which the rain usually messes with.

    Great earbuds. The fit comfortably on my ears. They do not hurt my ears like the in the ear earbuds. I can wear them while working in the yard or excersing and they stay in place. I can hear sounds around me as well.

    I really wanted these to work out because I wear Apple air pods all day and the latest version are quite uncomfortable. These worked well enough but not as well as I expected. The volume isn't as loud as I would have liked and they didn't stay securely on my ear. I wasn't going to take a chance in losing one or breaking it when it fell out of my ear so I returned them. If you're looking for an alternative to Apple AirPods, I DO NOT recommend this product

    These fit comfortably around your earlobe. Listeneing to these allows you to remain aware of your surrounding and converse when needed. Don't buy if you plan on making calls (microphone is terrible) or need noise cancellation (can't hear anything on MAX volume when doing anything that involves loud noises).

    I have been a long time fan of the Bose inear headphones. For many platforms ive tried many years ago i was looking for the crisp and clean sound and bose delivered however And unfortunately for me, the open ear was a downright disappointment for the Bose line in my opinion. I was told by one of the employees at Bestbuy that these headphones were rated quite good from alot of people...and well. As a diehard audio guy, these did not deliver that "bose" quality sound. At max volume the sound was crackled, there was also not much bass and it just was not my style of in ear headphones. I gave it 2 stars because the one star was for fitment, it felt good "clipped" to the ear, but i wish it had a little more to out that bud into the ear itself. And the other star was for the idea that Bose was going for. The quality of the sound for me was terrible... the BEST in ear buds ive had from Bose was the ones that were super large and stuck out alot BUT you would twist the bud itself into your outer ear and it would literally fit into place and not fall out at all. The "second generation" for the ultra quiet inear that took a good thing and turned it into something different and made it bad. For that first gen the speaker itself was a little further away from the eardrum and MADE THAT quality crisp with the bass bose has been known for. The second gen...since it was closer to the ear drum it took away some of the max volume of the music and turned it down a bit because it was closer to the ear. So with the open ear....it just washed it away. Idk how much more disappointed i can put into words on how sad i am of what Bose Did with this line.....and asking 300 bucks for it. I did it as a trade in from the utra quiet 2 earbuds for these...and 3 days of use. I returned them and got a giftcard caz i didnt even want the ultra quiet 2's either.
