    I picked up a pair of Bose earbuds expecting premium performance across the board, especially at this price point. When it comes to listening to music, they’re actually pretty solid. The sound quality is clean, balanced, and what you’d expect from Bose. Bass isn’t overwhelming, mids are clear, and overall it’s an enjoyable listening experience. That said, the biggest issue, and honestly a deal breaker for me, is the call quality. While I can hear the other person perfectly fine, the microphone performance is extremely poor. Multiple people have told me I sound distant, muffled, or like I’m in a tunnel. In some cases, they could barely hear me at all. This happens consistently, not just in noisy environments but even in quiet settings. For a product in this price range, that’s unacceptable. If you’re only buying these for music, they’ll do the job. But if you plan to take calls, attend meetings, or use them for anything beyond listening, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

    These fatigued my ears a bit more than the Huawei Free Clips. The Bose cost more, even after importing the Huawei clips into the U.S., but the Bose don't sound much better. Huawei free clips have better volume and are much better on calls. The Bose have the upside off an app that works by default in the USA. For the Huawei clips there was a lot of roundabout work that was needed to get their app to work inside the US. But they are hands dowb the better design for comfort and sound.

    It's like playing music out loud, but only for yourself. The feel like you're not wearing anything and do not give the same ear fatigue that both in ear and over ear headphones tend to give.

    Love the concept of being able to listen to music but also hear your environment. The battery life is great but lessens when using immersive audio. I tried the immersive audio but didn't really impress me. The sound is decent but will wash out if your environment is loud.

    I got this to test and see how it is because I never had anything like it and Bose always make good sounding headphones. I love the style it kinda make it look like it’s a pair of earrings. The sound I would rate it a 7 out 10 it could be a bit louder and have a bit more bass. My issue was the price I don’t think they are worth the price $90-100 is a better price point for them.

    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.

    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.

    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).
