    Alright. Don’t sit firmly on the ears enough, I use for work and from time to time they fall out. Great clear music but I do wish they were slightly louder

    These headphones are really cute and comfortable, especially if you don’t like in-ear earbuds and still want to hear what’s going on around you. The sound quality is good, but even on the lower volume setting they can feel a bit too loud. Call quality isn’t great, which is a downside if you plan to use them for work or frequent phone calls. They’re nice for travel or casual use, but not something I’d fully rely on for everything.

    I really wanted to love these. The fit is great, I forget that I'm even wearing them most of the time. The issue is that most people say they can't hear me when on a call. Also, they shut off randomly and disconnect themselves. I wish they worked better for what I needed them for. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with them because I'm 2 days past my return date.

    These earbuds are really nice and comfortable to wear. But if you do have piercings that run along your helix, this is not the earbuds for you. Cleans easily and is able to connect to 2 devices at the same time. The app is also easy to work

    I am impressed with these ear buds. I play tennis with them and the immersion sound is fabulous. I can be on the court and still hear players around me or the pro if in a clinic. I have always been a huge apple fan. Have the apple AirPod pro’s and they are great for sound isolation but there is no comparison to the sound if listening to music. I love these in the gym. I can have the immersion sound on not have to listen to the chatter of other members but can hear and speak to anyone that talks directly to me. Best of both worlds. I can run with them on and they are very comfortable. I watch movies in the house on my iPad and can still hear what’s going on around me but have great sound at the same time. The only down side for me is I can not use them for phone calls on a walk outside. Cars going past me drown out the other person speaking to me. If Im walking and just listening to music no problem the cars do not bother me but it’s not possible to have a conversation near a busy road. I will use my apple AirPods for that. They are a little on the expensive side but that can be said of all Bose products. I think they are worth it!

    They are great! I can still hear music/ taking to person on the ear buds and also hear my surroundings. They are not tight and can adjust well , by sliding them up slightly on the ear , so that you can heart them and not have to take them off completely.

    These are amazing. Generates crisp, clear sound while allowing you to hear your surroundings. Ideal for the office or while out for jog. They stay on your ear lobe much more securely than I thought they would. No more trying to lodge pods into your ear canal and get them to stay!

    How great these earbuds are! I purchased these for my wife, who is allergic to the silicone featured inside of normal earbuds. These buds don’t have silicone that sits in your ear, and instead, the speaker fires downward into your ear canal. The result is very interesting, because you can hear the music just as clearly as regular earbuds, but your ear are still open. I became so jealous of hers, that I actually purchased another pair for myself, and I love them! I still find myself using regular earbuds too, like when on a plane, because you can hear the music coming off these if you turn them up really high. However, for doing things around the house, or going walking, bike riding, etc, they are wonderful, because I can keep my ears open to listen for my kid, or cars. In some ways, these are the best sounding earbuds I’ve ever had. The bass is remarkable, and is just as good as my regular Bose earbuds.

    Sound quality and features are excellent and better than most other earbuds. The design is what makes these truly amazing. These are the first earbuds that do not hurt my ears after 30 minutes. I also like that I can still hear my surroundings if the volume is adjusted appropriately to what is going on around me.

    The sound quality and comfort is better than any other open earbud I have tried and it’s not even close. The main issue is the microphone and price. Quite frankly, the microphone is abysmal and by far its biggest performance weakness. The other major issue is it is way too expensive for a product like this when other open-ears are considerably cheaper. I ultimately returned it in favor of a more economical open-ear option.

      Hello Brad,

      It's great that you liked the sound quality and comfort of the earbuds. I understand you've returned the earbuds, but should you decide to try the earbuds again. I'd recommend ensuring that the earbuds are positioned correctly on the ear to get the best mic performance from the earbuds. We have a guide available to help with getting the best position of the earbuds here: https://bit.ly/4gKCK4z

      We'd also love to help should you try the earbuds again, please reach out: https://bose.life/contact

    It sounds amazing, especially when you consider that it doesn't go into your ears. Unfortunately, I have a weirdly shaped left ear, so I couldn't get a comfortable clip.

    Life and Music/Podcasts Come Together

    Having used multiple brands of in-earbuds, using these Open-Ear Bose Earbuds was a unique experience. And, frankly, I love the experience. I can wear them all day and not have any fatigue, unlike having a silicon tip lodged in my ear canal. I wear them everywhere, no one takes a second look to see them clipped on my ear. Wearing them all day is like having a soundtrack to life everywhere I go. I have also listened to podcasts more frequently as it is convenient and can be done so in the course of a normal day's activities. The sound quality is good, and better than I expected. It's not an in-ear experience, but quite satisfactory (and I am picky about my sound as an audiophile). This is an amazing first attempt by Bose, and the next reiteration should even improve. NOTE: If you try these and think the sound doesn't work for you, move them around and adjust the angles on your ear, it makes a difference with individual placement. I found the sweet spot for me and it was vastly improved over my first placement.

      Hi, Ryan! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We’re happy to hear that the earbuds fit well and deliver sound quality you enjoy. You also mentioned that they could be louder, and we appreciate you letting us know.

      Sometimes, reduced volume can happen when the earbuds aren’t seated properly in the ear. A quick adjustment, such as gently rotating the earbuds for a secure seal, can often enhance both loudness and overall audio performance.

      At Bose, we’re committed to making sure you get the best possible experience. To help you get the most out of your earbuds, we’ve prepared a simple guide that walks you through proper fit and sound optimization: https://bose.life/49NIHLr
