    Gotta say, I didn’t buy these for the longest time due to the price. It was worth everything I paid. Finally wanted a set that I culd hear my surroundings if walking, running, etc. Sound is very good. Haven’t tried calls yet, so cannot comment on phone call connection or noise level. Would I buy again, yes, but I would have to save my pennies up first…lol!

    Finally a set of earbuds that don’t fall off! I was skeptical at first, but they actually stay on! The only problems I have with them are that they did not work well on the airplane when there was a lot of ambient noise, and my ears start to hurt after a while from the pressure of wearing them sort of like wearing clip-on earrings. But if I only wear them for short periods of time I don’t have discomfort.

    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.

    Great set and very useful. Best part of these is you can listen to tunes and still hear everything around you while cliped to ears. But if you dont want to hear anyone you can hook them to your earlobe to hold them in the ear canal like regular ear buds. Super useful for work. Only problem if you do not have earlobs there is nothing for them to hold onto and the only way to listen to them is hooked to the outer ear so you can hear them and everyone else around you at the same time. People next to you can not hear the music playing. Perfect to pass the time at work etc. Can be used to make and receive calls.

    Great sound and quality, love the idea of the open ear. But for me they caused pain and i couldn't get comfortable with them. I have extremely small ears so i think that was a factor

    I love how they look and comfortable, light, dont even move while wearing them. Very unique and advanced looking. Everything is a plus except for the sound volume which most young people perfer when wearing earbuds. I know those are open earbuds and they actually did a great job on the design but Im leaning towards volume and sound quality over anythig else when wearing them. Its sad but I think im returning them.
