Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the exceptional sound quality, comfortable fit, and lightweight design of these earbuds, which many users find ideal for smaller ears. While the battery life and open-ear style are also frequently praised, some users have expressed concerns regarding occasional connectivity issues and a maximum volume level that feels too low. Additionally, a small portion of customers feel that the product is priced higher than its overall value.

    So so sound. Takes getting used to fit. My ears have never allowed comfort with any bud only head phones. Thought I'd try these. Guess I'm gonna have to invest in some Bose over the ear headphones.

    Sound is surprisingly awesome! Most open ear devices I have tried from other companies have required the volume to be higher to equal clear tone and sound of using an in ear or covered ear headphones. Another advantage of this design is they stay put whether I am exercising or napping. Awesome Bose. The only con is they have a slightly lower battery life than the competitors if you forget to fully charge the case!

    I like how they don’t sit into my ear and I can hear but because noise cancellation wouldn’t be a good fit, it’s harder to hear sometimes.

    This is absolute genius. The audio quality is amazing, and it stays on - no matter how hard you work out. It is also quite stylish, so you can wear it dressed up or down, and it is slick enough to look stunning. Sure - there is no noise cancelling, but you will not be getting this item if you wanted noise cancelling. This is Bose done right!

    They are okay, having a lot of connectivity issues. Constantly having sound cut in and out. My ears don’t hurt but would be nice to not have the connectivity issues

    I got these for my wife as she has skin issues that cause discomfort with regular ear buds that sit in the ear. These sit right outside the ear canal and they're perfect for her. The quality of bose products can't really be beat either.

    I just bought the earbuds and the sound quality is good and the immersive sound is really good to i had no problems connecting to my iPhone. But when I made a call with the ear buds. The person can barely hear me and my voice goes out in the call. I tried to call five different times still the same problem. So I just decide to return them because the microphone quality sounds like $10 gaming headset. overall if you want to buy this For style and sound go for it, but if you will make calls with the headphones, not so much luck i just wait for these to go on sale

      Hello Mauro,

      I understand you returned them. I'm happy to see that you're enjoying the immersive sound and quality from the earbuds. Should you decide to try the earbuds again, I'd recommend making sure you're not using the Low Energy (LE) connection of the earbuds. Please also try the guide here https://bose.life/431eULD to help with microphone quality. We'd also love to help and would ask you contact us https://bose.life/contact for support.
