Geat sound quality, comfortable and secure. Battery life could be better.

Positive notes first: ---- - The actual buds that go into your ears are comfortable, and the sound is great and seems to be very private while also allowing you to be aware of surroundings. I use it for hiking and trail running primarily. They stay put and are a great design themselves. The cons: ---- I was also a customer of BOSE for the Sports Open "over ear" series. Collectively: I have had to do 4 straight replacements of one variety of another with their products. For the sports open ear: I had to replace once two charging stands and a third replacement for a earpiece that went bad. For this new ultra setup: I now have my first charging case to replace. EACH of these replacements has occurred within 6 months to a year across the board. It was so frequent, in fact: that I remained within warranty with BOSE for all of my replacements of my BOSE sport. The bose ultra case managed to last me up until just past my 1 year anniversary with the product and so thus im stuck paying $100 for a replacement case on amazon. THeir charging stands and cases, simply put: are VERY cheap. You'll run into issues with the pins connecting or getting jammed into the small spaces. You'll feel the cheapness and how delicate they are. The only reason the bose ultra lasted the full year is I used them signifcantly less than my bose sport. Im confident they would've broken within first 6months to year as well had I used them as often as the sport open ear. BOSE is "getting away with this" with me as a customer simply by having a design that is superior to the competitors so far with open ear. However I cannot wait until competitors start to match them on good solutions for open ear wireless buds (not in-ear) because I am more than ready to ditch this brand. Their stuff simply does not last and you WILL be sending it back for a replacement if in warranty OR be replacing a case or bud soon enough. --- Note that for SOUND QUALITY, BATTERY LIFE, and CONNECTIVITY I'd give better star rating than "overall". Battery life I am giving a 2 star because in reality the battery charging is always an issue. However when you DO charge them the charge length is fine to get through a nice hike, etc. I've been happy with that piece when they actually work.

They look great work great very good sound they don't fall out Ben jogging walking bicycling they work great no complaints Don't hurt my ears they fit in comfortably overwhelming satisfied they also have a very good sound good quality sound

I recently purchased the Bose earphones, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. From the moment I put them on, I could tell that they were something special. First and foremost, the sound quality is exceptional. The earphones deliver crisp, clear audio with okishhh bass and balanced highs and mids. Whether I'm listening to my favorite music, watching movies, or taking calls, the sound is consistently top-notch.Comfort is another standout feature of these earphones. Additionally, the lightweight design makes them easy to wear for long periods without feeling cumbersome.One of the things I appreciate most about these earphones is their durability. The build quality is excellent, and they feel sturdy and well-made. I've been using them daily for several weeks now, and they still look and perform like new.The battery life is impressive as well. I can go for hours without needing to recharge, which is convenient for long flights or busy days on the go. The quick-charging feature is also a nice touch, providing additional convenience when I'm short on time.Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of Bose earphones. They offer superior sound quality, comfort, durability, and convenience, making them an excellent choice for anyone in the market for high-quality earphones. Cons: Pricey, i hope it had noise cancellation feature, some additional colors

I bought these right after Thanksgiving, set them up and wore them once. I was impressed with the sound quality, how light and comfortable they were, and being able to switch from my phone to my laptop as a source. Literally the very next morning, after I let them charge the left earbud didn't work, I followed all of Bose instructions with a re-sync and then a factory reset. The left bud seemingly was lost, it wouldn't recognize or sync at all. So I played around with it, I put it on the right ear spot and it showed to be charging, I figured out the contacts for the left earbud were not making contacts. I thought I had it remedied, however the next day at the gym not only did the left not sync initially but it had near zero charge. So 3 stars is a tad generous, however, when they work they are fantastic, even in loud environments (unlike some have said), and i really like them in the gym. These things don't fall out!

Good sound. Very comfortable. Open ear allows to hear surroundings. Probably about $100 overpriced though. $199 would be fair.

Finally, earbuds that won't fall during walking and running are comfortable to wear all day long and allow you to talk to friends at the gym without pulling your earbuds out. I also like that you can hear traffic when out and about. You can shake your head, bend over, jump, and down--these do not fall off! The fit is a barely there feel. Unlike earbuds that seal off your ear, these do not trap moisture or irritate your ear. The sound is fantastic and has a unique motion setting feature. Disclaimer: I also have Bose noise-canceling earbuds. I use these when I need noise cancellation, such as on an airplane or busy spot where I want quiet and full sound immersion. If you want noise cancellation, these will not meet your needs. Sound quality comparison to other earbuds is fully satisfactory for the places and times when I am using these. I have seen some say the bass isn't as good as others, but I think enough bass is a personal preference. As I mentioned above, I am lucky enough also to have noise-cancellation earbuds, and they do have awesome bass, but these are just fine. Worth $299? For me, yes, these will be my go-to buds 90% of the time because they are comfortable and don't fall out. I am tired of earbuds popping out of my ears at the gym. These have solved my biggest gripes with earbuds. I highly recommend and appreciate the ingenuity of these earbuds.

Good design battery life is good and very comfort for using fast connected product

Although this product has an innovative design and great sound quality, that's where it ends. The fit is perfect, and the open earbuds really allow you to be aware of your surroundings. They're great for hiking, running, and other activities. However, the mic quality is absolutely horrendous, even after updating the product. No matter the conditions in which the call is taken, the other person won't be able to hear you clearly (it sounds like you're in a bathroom or below deck in a boat). I thought I received a defective product, so I exchanged it. Nope. The mic is still horrible. Yes, I've tried Shokz and other competitors, but the sound quality in these is unmatched for an open-earbud design. If you don't care about taking calls while you have these in, it's a great product. The price target should be more in the $150 range due to the mics and cheap plastic case. If you want wireless charging, you'll have to spend another $50 for the compatible case. If Bose could stop releasing several different colors and focus on the mics, this would be an amazing set of open earbuds.

These earbuds sound amazing. I can barely tell they are on my ears—crisp, clear sound with enough bass to enjoy any genre of music. The immersive mode on the Bose app is pretty cool as well. Perfect for bike rides, or any outdoor activities.

I loved these. I’m one who doesn’t like to have earphones go in my ears. But the comfort and lightness of them was fantastic. And they stay on throughout my workouts no worrying about them falling off. The sound was amazing. I only wished they had a tracking in case they get lost.

I really wanted to love these. The fit is great, I forget that I'm even wearing them most of the time. The issue is that most people say they can't hear me when on a call. Also, they shut off randomly and disconnect themselves. I wish they worked better for what I needed them for. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with them because I'm 2 days past my return date.

They are amazing! They don't fall off the ear and are comfortable to wear and easy to move around your ear if you are wearing earrings or sunglasses. Highly recommend. Sound is A+

I got them for my wife as a christmas present. She has over the ear noise canceling headphones, but they work to well. As a result I frequently scared her because she would wear them while working from home. The sound quality is great in these and now she can hear around the house while listening to her music, podcasts and audio books. The battery life is great, the colors are nice and they are comfortable if you have smaller ears. Since getting shes only taken them out to sleep and recharge them.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G The quality on these earbuds that do not even seal your ear canal is very impressive. You can be aware of your surroundings while still being able to listen to whatever you need. The microphone is very good as well for phone calls. The best part for me is the comfortability. I can forget I have them on. I have never been able to sleep with earbuds and I was very happy I was able to do so with these. I tried the Sony’s earbuds and they felt very cheap compared to the Bose. I do not regret spending my money on these at all.

Great they are wonderful. Greatest It is so comfortable. Won’t block all noise but super sound and fit

Bought for the sole reason of wearing while doing yard work and other outdoor activities. Sound is great, decent battery life and they stay in place. Have bought additional pairs for family members because they work so well.

Amazing sound for music and the best thing is they feel like nothing is in your ears. Only issue is phone calls aren’t great especially for whoever is on the other end

Great sound and very comfortable. Has Great features on the app and fit nicely on my ear sometimes i fall asleep with them on
