    I have tried a lot of ear buds without luck and could only wear regular headphones. I wear glasses, have multiple ear piercings and these are awesome. The sound is wonderful and I am so glad I splurged on these.

    I love my ear buds. I have been looking for an ear buds that don’t cover my ears and this is the perfect one. The sounds in music is so clear and strong. I love it!

    Really nice pair of earbuds. I think if we were judging it on quality of audio alone (Based on the Open Ear market) They would probably be one of the best... but that's it. My two biggest CONS: Comfort/Fit and Pairing Comfort wise they're not terrible... for the first few minutes. After prolonged use I have a numbing/irritable sensation around the area where I'm wearing them. I do find the area in my ear where they clipped to be numb even after I'm no longer using them, but not for long. Also the idea wasn't bad, like the audio quality they have is great but the method of attachment is questionable. I'm always readjusting so that I can get a better audio experience. And no, they wont fall off at least not for me. Pairing annoys me. Its been often that I've reached for one ear piece and then maybe a few minutes later I reach for the second to wear both and boom! audio out of one nothing out of the other. **A workaround? figured out that i have to open the case up after I put the second bud on so they can both sync up. A weird issue I've had is audio cutting off. Happens RARELY and for a split second so I haven't bothered with it. A very negligible issue for now. SO after all this do I still use them? YES. I just love the audio quality compared to my openrun pro's to much to leave them. I do find myself alternating between the two tho. If one dies cause I forgot to charge them I just grab the second pair.

    For the price, you'd think it'll have wireless charging and much longer battery life. Sure, the audio quality is top notch. But for an open earbud, I think it's over priced even with the sale. The color blue is nice though. Get this if you want to splurge and are Bose loyalist. But if you're practical, you will want something better-- with more features, and for a lower price point.

    Can’t go wrong with the open ear Bose earbuds for sound quality and protecting of your ears not having to insert them in your ear canal. It saves on damage to your inner ear. I suggest you buy this product in the Bose system sounds great so if you’re looking for a pair of earbuds, try those out I recommend it.

    I bought these to try something different. I'm a big AirPod user. Both Pro and Max. These are nice to not have my ears entirely contained or plugged. I was very pleasantly surprised with the sound quality. These are great to use when I'm around my family and still want to be involved with what's going on around us.

    I really like the fit of the Bose Open Ear AirPods. They sit comfortably on the ear, and I often forget I’m even wearing them—they’re that lightweight and unobtrusive. The design is secure and doesn’t loosen over time, even with all-day wear. I also appreciate how seamlessly they switch between devices. If you have two phones, for example, they automatically connect to whichever one you’re using without any hassle. However, the biggest drawback is the sound quality in noisy environments. While they perform well in quiet settings, it’s hard to hear anything clearly when there’s a lot of background noise. That’s the tradeoff for having an open-ear design—but something to keep in mind if you plan to use them in louder spaces.
