Great product, a little soft on the sound but expected because it is an open earbud. I think my Quite Comfort 2 sounds better, but hey, this works because it does not fall off my ears when moving around or exercising. Minor thing to point out, for those with large ear lobs, the hook is not long enough to completely grasp it. It's still secured, but not as comfortable. Does have some quirk on connecting to my phone sometimes - sometimes it doesn't connect, sometimes it loses connection. I turned off the voice prompt to see if it helps with that. Let's see. Turning off voice prompt does help with Quiet Comfort 2 earbuds for me. Wish Bose has fixed that already.

Very unique design & nice build quality. Good sound (for not being inside your ears). They do stay on if you are actively working or exercising. Decent battery life too! Although my ears do work for these, sometimes I need to adjust them due to the amount and shape of my skin on the edges of my ears, so I do experience some discomfort after a few hours if I don't take a break. Overall, I love these anyway! Nice job, Bose!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most comfortable ear buds for my super sensitive ears. Don’t fall off when I move but also don’t feel uncomfortable in my ears. And of course they have that superior Bose sound. Super easy to setup. Great battery life. Love them

Spectacular sound quality. However does not work with multiple BT connections. Even when Multipoint is disabled, Open Earbuds randomly drop one source and connect to another. I finally had to delete connections and just connect to a single device (android phone). Another annoying issue is noticeable time lag for audio to be heard. This makes it impossible to use any app where audio stops and starts - can't use Babel. So I just use them for music and podcasts.

Not my favorite and I wish I didn’t purchase them. I have had Bose earbuds for 8 years. My last pair started to give out. The model I had was discontinued so I bought this version because I liked the brand. I wish I hadn’t. They do not stay on/in the ear while working out so they have to be adjusted routinely to continue hearing what I am listening to. It doesn’t block any of the surrounding sound around you so you have to turn them up even higher.

If I had to give someone a quick, down and dirty written review of these headphones, I think this would be it. I have been looking for earbuds like these for a while. I have a small ear canal, so using earbuds that fit into my ear Canals comfortably is hard for me. The Bose stay inside my ears regardless of what I'm doing, and the fit is very comfortable for long periods of wear, they are very comfortable. These do not have noise-canceling but excellent sound quality. If you're getting them so you can hear the environment's true outside sounds due to the open design, they are perfect at blending the two, outside sounds and inside sounds. I guess the volume at which you listen to media also determines how much of the outside you hear, but don't get dismayed no matter how loud the music is you will still hear extremely loud and important things such as car horns sirens etc. If that is the kind of environment that you use your earbuds, you won't be disappointed, these are perfect. I have used a lot of headphones and earbuds that have accompanied software, and I have to say that these have some of the best software that I have used. The companion Bose headphone app has all the useful feature like and EQ and more. It also has some features that I haven't seen before, like tap touch control. This feature comes in handy when you're wearing a beanie or hat that covers your ears. The Charging case snaps closed, and the ear buds snap into the case through magnets and clips, and they are super secure in my opinion, just in case you drop them. The battery life is great on them also I use them for the past couple of days for long periods of time, and I was not able to completely drain them in a single listen. The Sound quality is fantastic for open design headphones. All in all, these are my new favorite everyday driver headphones. This review pertains to the points that are import to me. I purchased them at the launch price and I think they are worth it. Get these if they are similar to what you prefer if they get a little cheaper, or they go on sale, it's a no-brainer.

I have worn the new open earbuds for about a month now. I loved them so much I suggested my wife try them on. She loved them too! We both are now enjoying the comfort and sound these tiny ear pieces provide us. Thank you Bose for coming up with something so useful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had so much trouble finding comfortable earphones that don't hurt after wearing. These are easy to use, sound is great, I can do calls, connecting is easy, power is excellent. I'm glad I splurged - they are worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these because I wanted something snug to wear to the ears. These don’t disappoint; however, I am not fond of the inconsistency in clear sound in both ears. Overall I recommend them if you are looking for something that won’t leave your ears while being active. I trust Bose and its products, though.

If you’re a music lover like me and literally have multiple pairs of headphones from different brands to get you thru the day you know what I mean. I was so excited to finally get these for myself and at first I was having a lil trouble with others hearing me on the phone and now they’re great! I switched the mode from immersion to stereo and found they now last a full work day. I also think I had them on wrong haha but love them and am looking forward to getting my dad a pair for his birthday!
