    Bose open earbuds

    Really enjoy these headphones, however they did take some time to adjust, as I’ve always had over head headphones. Now that I’m used to them though, I find it convenient not having to adjust them. They have a long range, so leaving my phone at a workout machine while I grabbed some other stuff was a pro for me (I have accidentally left them in the building and walked to my car.) They are not as loud as my over head headphones but that was to be expected. Overall good sound, good for runs, and battery lasts.

    I wanted to try open earbuds and bone conduction headsets so I first tried the Shokz open run pros, they were okay but sound leaks a lot at a medium level of volume. So I opted to these and they are my favorite, I reach for these every single day over my airpod pros 2nd gen. The sound quality is great for open earbuds and bass is pretty decent but the comfort is amazing; no ear fatigue whatsoever it’s pretty scary how you can forget they’re even clipped onto your ears. Overall, I would say they are fantastic but the price is a little steep that’s about it.

    Bose Ultra Open Ear buds / Continue to impress

    I'm happier with these Buds the more I use them. Purchased them as Open Box as they are spendy and they arrived like-new. I purchased because they were presented as good for music listening. For me the highs, mids are solid and I rate the bass as quite good. For my ears the tips for in-ear buds never secured well so the Bose open ear set up works great. I find them comfortable over longer listening periods. Am using for podcasts also with great results.

    I love having ear buds that i dont have to take out every time someone starts talking to me. The sound quality is good and the battery life is exceptional for small buds. These are wonderful for folks who may have had a hard time finding buds that fit their ears. These are not, however, comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. My ears start to ache from the way they squeeze to stay in place. But my ears are more sensitive than most folks. My biggest complaint is the connectivity. These constantly disconnect from my phone and/or the buds lose sync with eachother. It's incredibly obnoxious to have to manually reconnect them all the time and at $300 it's unacceptable.

    Overall I like them for what they are. I have an Iphone so since these arent owned by apple they don't connect as smoothly as beats and airpods. They stay on really well and are very comfortable (issues I had with beats and airpods); so comfortable I accidentally wear them all day bc I forget they are on. Being open ear the volume isn't very loud but that is expected, I never listened to anything at max volume with other headphones anyways. This is my first pair of open ear style. I think the mic quality is pretty good in quiet places but on the phone I get complaints the other person can't hear me well, occasionally. I get asked about them a lot because they look like jewelry.

    These new Bose open ear buds are pretty awesome. The only issue I've had is the first pair I bought had some static issues randomly. I meant to take them back for an exchange right away but thought maybe I'd wait for a firmware update. Once there was an available update, I installed it and it seemed to fix the issue. However, shortly after the update the right bud stopped charging and connecting. I exchanged for a new pair and have had zero issues thus far. The sound quality is absolutely incredible for being open-ear buds. They connect immediately and and are easy to pair. They charge to full fairly fast and seem to last for a few hours on a full charge. They take some time getting used to. At first they feel a little awkward to put them on but you get used to it pretty fast. I find that sometimes I forget they are even on. With that said, sometimes, after several hours of wearing them, they can feel like they are pinching your ears but a slight adjustment fixes it quickly. Overall I'm quite happy with them. On a side note, my wife bought a pair of the white/silver model and has had zero issues with hers. She uses hers with her Mac and iPhone and I use mine with an Android phone and an LG TV.

    BOSE noise canceling on ear earbuds

    Loving my Bose Lunar Blue on ear earbuds! The sound is amazing, and I have tested many of which do not compare to BOSE sound! I wore them at the gym and could hear and be aware of things around me, but also switching to immerse mode helps to tune out the less pleasant playlist in the gym to my own music and made my work out much more enjoyable, and as a result, helped me work out longer than usual! I love that they are not in the ear, but on the outer part of the ear and the controls are super easy to navigate! Highly recommend these!

    I love the head phones for comfort and the sound quality is AMAZING! The ONLY down fall I think is the quality of a phone calls it could definitely be better!

    Good. Wireless charging would've made it perfect.

    I like it. It serves the purpose of enjoying music while still being aware of the surroundings. It's like the old Bose Soundwear around the neck, but lighter, more comfortable, and fits in the pocket. And it looks cool! :) One star off (debating two) because I'm disappointed it doesn't support wireless charging like my QuietComfort Earbuds. For the price, you would expect that feature, which is available to most other products nowadays. :(

    These headphones are useful full full day use they are like having ambient music around you. If you are looking for something that will allow you to listen to things while partaking in your dayly takss i recommend. But this is not a purchase for audiophiles.

    Like adding a soundtrack to your daily life

    I absolutely love these earbuds! If you’re looking for something that will add a soundtrack to your daily life, this is it. You’ll still be able to hear everything around you while enjoying your favorite tunes. Perfect for hiking, biking, walking, onewheel, shopping, and just going through your daily activities. If you’re looking for something with noise canceling, this is not a product you should be looking at as it’s the complete opposite. My only complaints are the microphone is completely awful, in fact it’s unacceptably awful. Also, the charging case isn’t able to be charged wirelessly without a $49 additional purchase of a case protector to go over top. At this price point it should’ve come with a wireless charging case and a way better microphone.

    When they work, they work great. I’ve had a few disconnecting issues, but nothing I couldn’t fix on my own. I don’t like that you have to use the Bose app to pair them. I can’t connect them to my kindle paperwhite. Other than that they are fantastic. Easy to put on, stay put, comfortable even with multiple piercings in each ear.

    I love that, absolutely forget you're wearing them, that is how comfortable they are plus I have no issues laying on my pillow to watch videos, they do take a little getting used to putting on and finding the right spot or position but once you do wow

    I love Bose products and they never disappoint. I really like the design but don’t really like how they fit as much, I think they would’ve done a lot better in that aspect. The sound is amazing though. If you are looking for noise canceling this are not for you (which it says). Even at the highest volume you can still hear some compared to the AirPods.

    Sometimes the mic function does not work properly. In some of my calls they say that they hear me far and not quite clear. The battery life is too short but you hear every details from the music, overall, it's great, I like it a lot.
