Because you don't feel wearing the Bose earrings, music just appears in your brain. No need to put them in the case. Music and voice call quality is absurdly good for open headphones. Great for podcasts in the office for long time.

Connectivity with Apple is spotty. Constantly disconnects. Good for music but not the best for calls. Pretty comfortable, great concept but could use some tweaking.

I bought these a month ago and LOVE them! Very comfortable. I like that they go from aware to aware off (cuts out a good amount of noise while still being able to hear your surroundings) to quiet. Appreciate the extra battery life!

These are the best buds I have ever owned.... I didn't want to spend the money on them at first but when my friend bought them and I tried them, I needed them.

Bought them inside a month or so for my wife. She loves them ,, small easy to setup and great sound , great that she can ware them while walking out doors and be able to hear all around you I'll be ordering a second pair for myself

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy these earbuds. They sound awesome and the Bose QCE app makes them even better with the 11 different features. EQ and noise reduction to name a couple.

I bought a few weeks ago. Use them for the first time on an airplane. And I could hear everything that was going on. The fitting is not correct. It hurts the back of my ear. I will be returning them

At first everything was good but I keep having a problem with the left pod paring. It said it's pared but no sound comes out the right works great. Battery level on both 100 and still can't hear the left I have to un pair and pair again

I’ve never liked in-ear buds—not comfortable and I prefer hearing what’s going on around me, in addition to listening to music/ podcasts etc. The Bose open ear buds solve my dilemma and provide excellent sound quality. Love them!!

It’s the most comfortable ear buds I’ve ever owned. It’s so comfortable I didn’t notice I lost one side until it was too late. I had to order another set since there was no one just selling one side. So I suggest getting the warranty.
