Bose open earbuds
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these! Happy to find an open box pair to gift my son!
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Awesome device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 would recommend this to a friend Very comfortable that you will forget you wear it.

Not very good on calls
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Posted .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.

A one of a kind in comfort and sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.How many times a day can you say THIS IS GREAT would not be enough time to say how great Bose's new Ear Buds are. The engineered way to wear the earbud and the expected sound quality from a Bose product have been maintained. Bose has set a new standard that the rest of the earbud manufacturers will have a hard time trying to match or exceed. Bose got it very, very right.

The Best Earbud on the Market
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that they dont go into your ear canal. They sound AMAZING.
I would recommend this to a friend Great, wish sizing was an option
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these for the design and I LOVE them…. I have hard to fit ears and the open design of these made them an easy fit…. They don’t move or hurt …. I could jump out of a plane and these bad boys will stay… As a bonus my supervisor thought they were earrings as earbuds aren’t allowed on the floor… Another I got them lol
