    Get it only if you want to splurge.

    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.

    The sound quality is incredible, I love the design, especially if you have small ears like me; however, it's a shame that the calls are terrible, people hear you badly and are far away.

    It is different then over-ears or typical earbuds that fills the ear completely. While you are able to hear you surroundings, you still have the crisp sound. The more you listen to it the more you realize it grows on you because they are super light and you still have the Bose quality! The only downside would be the call quality. While you are receiving a perfect one, others hear your voice less than ideal..

    I wish they had noise cancellation thats why i only gave it a five star rating ive had them for a month now work great overall. Its nice i can hit the gym anand lift heavy weights and they dont fall out or feel like they are gonna fall out like other headphones i like i you can change the settings for like one of the settings i like is it changes the volume automatically to your surroundings so like when your walking music gets louder when theirs lots of cars then goes back to normal when its quite.

    Not worth sacrificing volume and quality

    Unfortunately this purchase has been real disappointing. The headphones fit great and are super light weight... However, the quality in sound is rough. The sound is hollow and even after adjusting all the settings the volume was never close to enough. I need an option thats not inear but, sound level sacrifice is just not worth it. Hope it works for someone else, this is not practical enough for me.

    Based on some of the negative reviews posted about the product, I was a little hesitant about my purchase, but I am really glad I bought these earbuds. They have the same- if not better - BOSE sound quality that I am used to. They are awesome while I work out at the gym. Fit securely in my ears regardless if I am doing cardio or just weight lifting. I love the fact that I am still aware of my surroundings while listening to music. Perfect for me!

    They are very confortable and the sound is ok but when I was in a phone call the person on the other side of the line said they could hear me but far away. Other than that these are great.

    When I first got them my ears were hurting a lot since they were not used to the constant pressure but the more you use it the more comfortable they get. Also the bass is good for an open ear headphones. I reccomend these for running and training but I recommend to get different pair of Bose if you are not using these for running and training.

    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.

    A great balance between good sound and comfort. I like the unique clip on style. Once on you barely notice they are there. Because of the open styling, I can listen to music while still hearing everyone around me. You won’t get the absolute best quality sound from these but they strike the right balance between sound, comfort, convenience and unique styling.

    I have AirPods but needed something that would still allow me to hear what was going on around me. These allow you to hear your surroundings yet deliver the most amazing sound!!! Bose has done it again! They wrap around the ear easily and you can barely feel them.

    They work great! I was sure if it was going to cancel out the noise being around the ear the way it is but it sounds like surround sound and cancels out the noise as well!

    Good. Limited controls (pretty much just a pause/play button). Limited app integration. Good for listening while you still want to be aware of your environment. This is an excellent product for that nice, but the product is somewhat niche.

    Fantastic sound, short battery

    Fabulous sound. Bought these for use while walking outdoors. Great sound no matter how windy and I still can hear what’s going on around me. I will occasionally get confused when using these at home when I’ve been listening a long time. I will think I need to turn off the stereo system then realize it’s off already then realize I have the ear buds on. That’s how good the sound is. I would absolutely buy these again Now for the downside. I’ve had these a couple of weeks now. The software doesn’t auto switch an incoming phone call to the earbuds if you answer using the phone answer button. You have to manually move it. The incoming quality is great. But I am getting complaints from the other side that my voice sounds tinny or words get dropped. If your primary use case is talking on the phone I would not recommend these. Finally on three different occasions I’ve put them on fully charged and let them run until they die. No more than 5 hours each time. If you want them for a longer event such as plane ride or marathon they may run out. I’ve considered buying a second pair so I can swap them when the battery dies because they are that good. I’d rather spend another $300 and have two pair to cover longer listening times than switch to a different brand.

    This is one of the best Bluetooth earbuds I have ever had. If you wear glasses and love listening to your music or on the phone quite a lot with work stuff, I think these earbuds are your best choice. Sounds quality is great. I give it 5stars
