Unsatisfied with purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Whenever I use the EarPods for the radio, music, or while watching TV, the sound quality is amazing. But when I use them for phone calls, the person on the other end can’t hear me well and sometimes not at all. It’s a shame that I still need to return these because I need something that works in unison with phone calls.

Perfect for people who dont like earbuds
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] I bought these as a christmas gift for my mom because she has a hard time with regular ear buds hurting her ears and is not a fan of over the ear headphones either. These clip onto the side of your ear and dont sit down inside eliminating the uncomfortably she experiences with traditional buds. She will even forget she’s wearing them. She absolutely loves them.

Bose open ear buds

Posted .Hi RonM, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the product overall, but we’re sorry to hear about the connectivity and fit issues. Bluetooth disconnections can happen if you move too far from the paired device (about 30 feet), or due to interference from nearby electronics, outdated firmware, or power‑saving settings. Pairing with multiple devices or crowded environments with many signals can also contribute.
To improve stability, we recommend keeping devices close, updating firmware and software, disabling battery saver mode, disconnecting unused pairings, and restarting both devices to clear temporary glitches. Here’s a helpful link you can use to resolve this issue: https://bose.life/4vuD0wd
Regarding the fit, here’s another guide you may use to ensure proper wearing of the earbuds: https://bose.life/4mAdVfc

Great purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great headphones I used for running! They were only drowned out in a loud boxing gym, which was a bummer because I got them for boxing. But every other place, they were good in sound and quality.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've always had trouble getting earbuds to fit in my ears and to stay in for long periods without causing pain. Both of these issues disappear with this product. These earbuds deliver clear powerful sound and sit comfortable in my ears for hours. I couldn't be happier with these earbuds.

not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think that this is an amazing idea that Bose has come up with as far as design. However, the technology of the earbuds when it comes to talking on the phone is crap! it sounds like the person is far away, muffled, and there are even times that I cannot hear the person. I wanted to return these because for the money I feel like it should all flow!! Whether I am listening to music or speaking on the phone the sound quality should be considering the brand and again the money. Unfortunately Best Buy has a 15 day return policy (which is stupid) and I could not return this product, so now I am stuck with an expensive product that I don't want. I would have just purchased headphones or a speaker from this brand instead! I guess I expected so much more out of Bose!

Also, ensure your earbuds are being worn correctly.

perfect for work!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this are one of the best earpods i’ve tried. i like their approach of not focusing on noise cancellation but rather ambient sound. they’re perfect for work. when you’d like to listen to music but stay aware of your surroundings.
