I think the main downside of these for me was the fit. My ears are on the smaller side, so I tend to go for headphones or earbuds that stay on the outside of the canal (like the 1st gen airpods, for example). I used the smallest setting and accessory pieces for the bose sneakpeek earbuds, and even with this change, they were still putting a bit too much pressure on my ear canal and causing some discomfort, and after longer periods, some pain. In terms of sound however, it is, as always, super clear and super rich, so that part was great. And I will say, for earbuds that were uncomfortable, they stayed in my ears very well during a couple of outside runs I used them for.

Earbuds are ok. Nothing special compared to others. The case is disappointing. No keychain or loop to hook. I almost lost the other pieces, you open it and they all fall out. Bose has really cheaped out. While these are comfortable and bose is what I know and have been loyal to, I’ll be shopping around next time I’m in the market.

I bought these 2 weeks ago. This is a great product. The earbuds fit well and snugly in my ears, and they don't fall off. The sound is great with good bases and a great dynamic range. I listen to classical music, and currently organ music in particular. The low notes come through amazingly well, I can hear the "vibration" of the concert hall or the church where the organ was recorded. As to the noise cancellation, the Quiet mode is better than that of my other big brand era buds. It completely cancels the noise of dishwashers, clothes dryers, microwave ovens, and the voice of people talking, even when they are taking to you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I currently own the ear buds,the head phones and blue tooth speaker(all Bose)and use all three on a regular basis,bought the ear buds for the gym,was wearing head phones but were too bulky,I’ve had other ear buds but these fit well and the sound is great but there is a difference between the head phones and buds but considering I’ve been wearing head phones for4yrs.there a an adjustment period and I’ve gotten past that so now it’s just listening pleasure,thank you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this ear buds and the quality and performance are extraordinary. Definitely top tier, I run with them, study, perform chores and they do mold to any activity you're doing, from an active trail run to a calm night reading and hearing some relaxing music. Best out there, hands down!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In regards to the Bose headphones, I found my experience rather superb. The design provides a comfortable and sturdy earpiece that won’t fall out the ear. Along with the design, the color adds that pop of unique and personal touch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently gifted my sister her very first pair of BOSE headphones, and the look on her face was priceless! She was absolutely blown away by the incredible sound quality and fidelity. To top it all off, I chose a beautiful light purple color for them, and she couldn’t be happier with that choice. It’s safe to say they were a hit!

WOW! Amother truly outstanding product. The comfort, fit, and connection time are first rate. The earbuds connect almost immediately and have quite a long battery life. These earbuds are unbelievingly even more comfortable than the QuietComfortUltra ones that I own. I listen to a wide variety of music, and have been able to hear certain new elements such as background vocals and instruments in songs I have heard dozens of times. There are instances where it seems I am hearing a song for the first time. Perfect balance in audio as the lead vocals do not "drown out" or harshly overshadow background. Percussion is crisp and does not have a garbled or jumbled sound heard from low quality earbuds. The noise canceling is second to none. I work in a factory and love the ease of switching between aware and quiet modes. The graphic equalizer feature in the app is long overdue and functions very well. This is useful while listening to audiobooks and podcasts.. Love the strength of the case magnetic catch, similar to first generation sport earbuds. Top quality product I recommend highly. Well done.

From a value perspective, these buds are great. The ANC is the number one reason I got them, and while they're not QC Ultra great, it's close enough that it blocks out what I need blocked out. The next great thing about them is the battery. I can indeed get 8+ hours of quiet listening in ANC mode. Most impressive. I don't think any product in this form factor has this level of endurance. The listening experience is a distant third, and it's good enough. I listen mostly to podcasts and soft music, and these buds deliver. The bad news, and it's a big one for me because this is a primary use case for me. I'd been using QC30s for many years because they're comfortable in bed and last over 10 hours with ANC on. I was hoping these buds would replace the QC30s. They can, but they have a serious flaw: these buds turn off when you're idle for about 15 minutes. I take a nap and go to sleep on buds due to being in a noisy environment. Even if I'm connected to my device and listening to music, they will just cut out and turn off after 15 minutes. This is such a deal breaker. I know it can be easily fixed because the notification message that disables this auto-off function is baked into the software, but is somehow unavailable in the lackluster app that comes with the buds. Very disappointing. I'm hoping Bose fixes this issue soon, because these would indeed be 5-star buds without this issue. If napping or sleeping with these buds is not your use case, these buds will not disappoint. If you do need buds for napping or sleeping, avoid these until Bose fixes it.

This product is excellent and I love it so far. Very simple to use and light weight. The controls are very responsive and the awareness mode amplifies your surroundings so you can actually hear what's happening around you. I'm very happy with these and they look and fit great right out the box.
