Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the exceptional sound quality, comfortable fit, and lightweight design of these earbuds, which many users find ideal for smaller ears. While the battery life and open-ear style are also frequently praised, some users have expressed concerns regarding occasional connectivity issues and a maximum volume level that feels too low. Additionally, a small portion of customers feel that the product is priced higher than its overall value.

    A great option if you: Primarily listen to music Don't like things in you ears Other earbuds fall out. Might want a differnt option if: You want sound isolation Primarily listen to podcasts. I have found that with any significant external sounds it can be hard to hear everything that's happening, which makes podcasts hard to listen to, but since most people aren't listening to every lyric and every note in music (especially when not in a quiet environment) music is fine. I hate having things in my ears (I've had to many silicone tips from earbuds get stuck, plus my ear canals feel like they are building up a lot of wax when they are plugged and the pressure starts to hurt after a while) and other earbuds (like the Sony LinkBuds) fall out or (like the Shokz OpenFit) get caught on my glasses. These don't go in the ear, don't fall off (i only had them fall one while removing a shirt) and so l don't interfere with my glasses. To sum this up, they are awesome for constantly listening to background music if your choice.

    Love them, I suffer from ear fatigue and have issues with things going in my ear. I almost for get they are on and with my dark hair it makes them nearly invisible. The only con I think Being on after a full day wearing non stop can hurt your ear a bit but nothing compared to the ear fatigue I use to get using in ear head phones or even ear head phones

    Firstly, in my opinion, you get what you pay for. Comparitive to my other set of open ear buds, these blow them out of the water. Im fairly happy to have spent twice what I did on the others, especially when these Bose open earbuds actually have bass and a great app to adjust settings! I worried about carrying the case around in my jeans especially at work and I never actually had them bother me. Honestly, most of the time they are set at the minimum volume for me. To me that is just how well they sound!

    I use these earbuds when I am exercising or outside walking in warm weather when over-the-ear headphones would be too hot to be comfortable. Of course, there is no sound isolation, but the tradeoff is worth it for the comfort. I also like the way they clip onto your ears; I find conventional earbuds uncomfortable after a brief time, and they tend to fall out. The noise cancelling helps.

    No doubt these will be compared to in-ear buds which is not accurate. The technology behind these clip-on buds provides great sound and comfort with the ability to also hear what's going on in your surroundings. The sound in no way will be comparable to the Bose or any other in-ear buds. We need to get over that! There is a uniqueness to these that will not be for everyone. Bose also provides the best customer service if a problem exists. Nice addition Bose!

At the same time, we’re sorry that the lack of onboard volume control doesn’t fully meet your expectations, especially given the premium price point.

Here’s a helpful guide: https://bose.life/4dDloWK on using voice control that walks you through the setup step by step. We appreciate you choosing Bose and hope these tips help you fully enjoy your earbuds and unlock more of their functionality.

    These sound great. After having them for two months now I actually use them most for movies and tv shows. The immersive sound is perfect. I love not bothering anyone else at home. I used to wear headphones or buds but the way these clip on my ears I forget I’m wearing them. There is an adjustment period if you are used to noise canceling. I highly recommend.

    The sounds quality is great but the design and how it fits onto your ear is quite different and not okay in my opinion. Most of the time it falls from my ear when I put onto my ears this earbuds, the reason I gave it 4 stars for this device but the sounds quality as it is, Bose, excellent!

    Great design! I can’t even feel them on my ears. Sound blocks out the surrounding noise even though it is an open ear design. I haven’t used it on my run to see how well it stays in. Great on an airplane to drown out the other passengers.

    The earbuds are good for a quiet environment (home on the couch). The sound quality is great (Bose sound is great). I was unsure about the open ear concept after using AirPods for years. The fit is comfortable for long hours of wear. However, I found it a little frustrating trying to get the earbuds to announce the calls. I would recommend buying the open earbuds.

    I wish I’d made this purchase a lot sooner. The quality is clear, I thought I’d have an issue with the sound, by the pods sitting on my ear lobe, and not in my ear, no issues AT ALL! I got LITERAL sores in my ear from the Apple iPods. I am a REAL FAN, of all BOSE products.
