    these headphones were mostly used for running. It hasn’t even been 3 months yet and the left earbud is already going out/not charging.

    Can’t think of anything wrong with them. I really like how after hours of using them you forgot that you’re Wearing them. Probably calls are not the best, but I can live with it.

    I bought these to be able to use as blue tooth while wearing my hearing aids, but, unfortunately the microphones on these are awful, and people i was trying to talk to on the phone couldn’t hear me. By the time I gave up on them, it was too late to return them, so I’m just out $300, and the earbuds are in the trash

    These headphones are amazing for music listening. But these are probably the worst head phones i have owned to talk with. I had them replaced by bose but the new ones had the exact same issue. The person on the other end was barely able to hear me.

      Hi there! Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback, we’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the earbuds while listening to music. The Open Earbuds are designed to keep you connected to your surroundings, so they don’t include noise cancellation or block out external sounds. This allows you to enjoy your music while staying aware of what’s happening around you.
      That said, they do feature automatic volume control, which you can enable through the Bose app. This smart feature adjusts your music volume based on changes in your environment, helping you maintain a consistent listening experience whether things get quiet or loud. Hope this helps! Kurt - Bose Customer Support bose
