Honest opinion. Great buds

These buds, and their concept, are unlike any other buds I've used. The earring like design was weird and unique when I first saw it. I gave it a try and loved them. They fit nicely and are, at least for the most part, comfortable to use for long periods of time. The buttons work really well, and I'm a fan of the customization features. Though hope to see more in the future with updates. The initial setup and connection was very fast and easy as well. My use case is primarily gym and work, which is construction. For the gym, it's nice to be immersed in my own music, but still be aware of others and to hold a conversation when necessary. Same goes for construction. Long days and hours, now broken up by music, shows etc. while still being safe and conscious of my surroundings and the other trades and workers around me. Keep in mind though that there is no noise cancelling as that's not what they are for. Overall I love these buds. I do hope they add some more colors, as well as accessories to it

Option to use only one earbud

Would be great if you could only use one earbud at a time. No way to select which earbud the microphone is active something even the cheapest earbuds offer. So if you get a call and you want to switch to them, no one can hear you until you put both on.

Freedom!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Enjoying my open earbuds tremendously! I get my music and still converse with walking buddies. So easy to wrap around ear and so secure I don’t notice I have them on. No more knocking off with hat, no more silent strolls. They stay charged longer than any other earphones I have had.

Not sure about these headphones

I’ve been using another brand for over a year (Shokz OpenFit); my review is comparing both. In sound quality Bose fall a little short. OpenFit is more consistent with sounds, my Bose sounds break once in a while. Phone calls on Bose are terrible, can barely hear the other end. Tried positioning them to get better sound with no luck. Having to change to my OF to make//receive calls. -Notifications are the worse. Can’t hear at all my Ring cameras warnings. If it wasn’t for my watch I would not know movements in front of them. I do hear text messages, but many times with broken sound. With OpenFit I don’t have this issue. The only thing these ones have is the comfort, they are very comfortable. I move mine all around the edge of my ears and stay in place. Sound remains the same. I’m keeping them just to keep them. But in my opinion, they are not worth $300. There are better alternatives at lower price with better sound, and much better for voice calls.

Not so good

Why would you make it impossible to find the serial number so one could get help to make this thing work in a simple way. Like turn on and not keep telling me how much battery life is left and not run till it runs out of charge. Features like quite are great but finding a simple way to play brown sounds to sleep with out all the stop and go and battery life interruptions and not able to get help unless some how finding the hidden serial numbers a want to return the product

Great sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very impressed with the sound. The voice control seems to be very sensitive activating when not prompted. It would be nice to have one touch answer and end call vs needing to have two different button sequences. Overall I’m happy with them just growing pains coming from AirPod Pro’s.

Comfortable, slick.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful and very slick earbuds. My daughter loves them but for me they didn't feel as a perfect fit. Maybe my ears are bigger or something :) They are very comfortable and you forget you are even wearing headphones. For me personally I like the noise cancellation but that's my personal preference. My daughter absolutely loves hers.

Great product, some quality problems.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the product, especially for the gym and outdoor running. I love the additional awareness of my surroundings that the open earbuds offer. However, I've already had to return them twice. Bose has been great in the process, but I'm hoping this pair doesn't have the quality problems the previous two did.

Great Fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blocks sound well in quiet mode. In aware mode you can hear background noise too- good for work. What I love most is the FIT. This is my 3rd pair of Bose earbuds, but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Please make in deep plum so I can buy another pair!

Good product, could be better.

After a few months of use, I do enjoy the sound quality but there are a few things that I would suggest to make the product better. The “one size fits all” approach falls short. I have larger ear lobes. That pulls the speakers further from the ear canal. The spring tension causes irritation after a while.
