Super Comfortable!!

I have never had the chance to try an open ear earbud before and it was definitely an interesting experience. The fit of the Bose open earbuds is so light and so comfortable you almost forget they are there. The sound quality is good for this type of earbud. I love how easy it is to switch modes at the push of a button. I had no issues using these earbuds while running or doing other gym activities. Battery life was really good. I was able to stream podcasts, take calls and listen to music for a few days before needing to charge the case. You do have to make sure the contacts on the earbud are placed properly in the case. Otherwise one will charge and the other may not. My one con is the Bose App. I often find it very laggy when switching my devices and sometimes it doesn’t connect properly. I hope they provide updates on this soon. Other than that when it functions, having the ability to customize sound is great and the app is fairly user friendly. I definitely would recommend this type of bud if your looking for something with great sound that won’t fall out of your ear when your active. I do wish that along with the immersion it had the same capabilities as the other Bose Ultra line but it’s not a deal breaker these are pretty amazing!

Not what I expected

I was really hoping these would be amazing, but I was quickly disappointed. To start out, the fit is great. The case, the design of the ear buds, the concept is spectacular. As for everyday use, I would not recommend. I work in a warehouse and thought these would be perfect so I could hear people, hear horns of forklifts, etc. it worked, but I couldn’t hear the music either through the buds. I wanted more volume, but it was maxed out. Same thing happened on an airplane. I had to press the buds into my ears to hear the dialogue of the show I was watching. In conclusion, it is a great concept, bud needs a lot of work.

Love em', just what I needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like everything about earphones, including style, functionality, ease of use. I dropped a star because I'm having a hard tine with volume. Its low for calls and music, but when you perform the Bose demo volume is great. Just have to figure it out I guess, but it shouldn't be this hard. And "yes", I've gone thru the trouble shooting recommendations

Perfect for certain use-cases, though overpriced

Works really well for running, giving me a secure fit while allowing me to maintain awareness of my surroundings. I also like them for singing practice, so I can listen to a practice track but still hear my voice. And they are less fatiguing to wear than an in-ear bud. Multipoint Bluetooth support does not work well; turn it off and just connect your devices manually when you need them. The price of these is also very high considering they don't offer more advanced features like ANC or built-in wireless charging for the case. (You need to buy the case cover to add wireless charging.) I justified the price by reasoning I was paying for the R&D behind the innovative clip-on design.

Purchase these, they’re lifesavers!!!

I bought these a month ago, I was really skeptical on if they were going to be loud enough since they don’t fully go in the ear and these definitely fit up to my expectations. When I go to the gym I can turn them up and not hear anyone but when I’m at the store I can have them lower and hear everyone, it’s honestly perfect. Also, I love how they fit. I play video games a lot and when I wear my headset too long it starts to hurt my ears, my old phone earbuds use to hurt as well, but not these. I fell asleep in them multiple times and didn’t wake up with pain. They’re also fit nice on my 6 year old which is a surprise as she hates wearing headphones and using earbuds. She’s had to use them when overstimulated and once again they were successful at shutting the world out. I plan to buy my entire family a set!! 10/10 recommend!

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!!!

So I have had these earbud about a month now and they are amazing. I use to have Apple AirPods and I won’t be going back. The comfort, the light weight, the features, not feeling like the ear buds will slide out when I’m working out, and noise canceling. I like the aware mode and noise canceling mode that the earbud has. I can wear 1 earbud or both, still talk and have a conversation with someone not having to take the earbuds out and in order to block out background noise I don’t have to turn the volume up all the way saving both my hearing and the battery life. The sound is crisp sound while listening to music or gives you the movie theater feel while streaming movies. Bose made an outstanding product with these earbuds.

I like them!

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.

Would purchase for a loved one again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these about a week or so ago and so far they have been nothing but great! The only thing I don’t love is that the case is really flimsy and feels like any strong drop would break it. The headphones themselves are fantastic. I get zero ear fatigue with them and I definitely noticed a difference when I wear these versus my other headphones. The features themselves are really nice and I really have to actually reach for my phone to do anything which is really pleasant on my walks. I even have multiple ear piercings in my cartilage and these do nothing to harm them. I also currently have a healing conch piercing in my ear, and I cannot feel any discomfort when these are on versus When they are not on. Definitely probably the best pair of headphones I’ve ever purchased! The only reason I’m docking a star is because of the case itself. I feel like it could’ve been structured a little bit better but it does a really good job of holding charge.

Great for listening to music

I love that they do not go into my ear and can still drown out all the noise around me. But also allow me to hear what is going on. The buttons on the earbuds make it easy to pause the music and restart it without pulling the earbuds out to hear people talk to you. These are not good for talking on the phone outside, they pick up all the noises around you and not so much your voice.

The immersive both still and motion ae terrific.

This is music at it's purest-how it was meant to be heard. No static no nothing except what you were meant to hear-just the music. The voices and instruments meld together. The immersion music setting is fabulous. Close your eyes and the performers are in the same room.
