    Immersive stereo is great. I continue to have connectivity issues with my iphone and people on the other end of the calls complain about roaring and excessive background noise. If needing for streaming rhen best buy, not great for calls.

    Ultimately returned this product. I replaced it with the in-ear version which has superior sound. I can understand this product path but it doesn't feel safe using it. I feel as if it is going to fall and sound quality isn't the best considering it's function. I'm not ready for open-ear just yet.

    I love these and would give these 5 stars for fit and comfort but the left one sounds like the speaker is busted. I exchanged the first set and the 2nd pair is the same way.

    I bought these because I wanted something different than Airpods. The sound is great, should be a little louder but overall great. The con of this, making and receiving a call is terrible! Breaks up and the mic is extremely bad! People can barely hear me without me having to yell like im crazy. Bose dropped the ball on the Mic on these. R&D would’ve helped this product in various environments. Returning them back today. Hopefully the next wave is better and ill try again.

    These are great for work as they allow you to carry on a conversation without the need to turn them off or remove them from your ears. The bad is the battery doesn’t last as long as other ear buds I have tried in the past and the case is flimsy.
