[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a month ago, and only have good things to say, except for one small issue. Pros: 1. The fit in my ear is OUTSTANDING. The way these are designed to use different parts of your ear for support is brilliant. They fit snugly without moving, they don't fall out while running/in the gym, and they don't press too tightly on my inner ear (unlike some "Pro" level in-ear earbuds). 2. The noise cancellation is excellent, much much better than air pods (even the pro version). 3. The 'Aware' mode is not the best transparency mode out there, but is more than enough for normal use. 4. The sound quality is more than good enough, you're not going to get much better out of earbuds. Cons: 1. These pick up a fair bit of wind noise. When running, I usually have to switch off the noise cancellation, but this is OK since the noise isolation is still pretty good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An absolute fan of the design! Compared to most earbuds I've used it's nice to actually be able to be attentive to the environment around me even when I have both earbuds in. My only complaint really would be the fact I prefer if this had a touch sensor like the quietcomfort buds, but given how intricate these are, I can see why they utilize a button.

These are great for music but when you allow connectivity to mobile phones; you should ensure that part works equally as well. During mobile calls; the other end goes silent; where you think the call has dropped or you are screaming at the top of your lungs and the caller on the other end can not hear a thing. This happens within 5 minutes of every single phone call. Very annoying. I was super hyped to receive them but very disappointed day 1.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They are amazing. I love them because I go to the Gym at 2 a.m and they alow me able to hear my book or music and still listen for other strange things if there happening. I also wear them why working and it allows me to hear a customer of they stop me and ask questions. Also unless I have them turned up really loud no one around me can hear them why I am listening. I absolutely 💯 love them. Have let my friends listen to how well they work. That they have bought them some too. I have even considered buying another pair, one of a different color.

I'm visually impaired and use public transport or walk everywhere. I like listening to music and podcasts but using full noise cancelling earbuds even in "abient" or "aware" modes I am still unable to hear what is going on around me. I bought these because I like Bose brand and thought I would try them. They are brilliant!! I hear my media clearly and most importantly there is no intereference to the background noise I rely on, traffic etc. They are very lightweight, phone quality is pretty good, usual Bose quality. The biggest issue I have is that they are so unobtrusive I forget Im wearing them and when I take my sweater off they get knocked off my ears. Which if you read the first sentence makes them hard to find!! Not the earbuds fault though. To be clear they are not noise cancelling, they work in a noisy airport but are not loud enought for use on the plane. If your phone has an eq setting in its app playing around with that can really dial them in for your best sound. I really like them, use them all the time and will probably get a second set when they go on sale.

Having never seen an earphone product like these I was intrigued. Having the opportunity to try them out was awesome. I started by just putting them in my ears to get the feel. Immediately I felt a comfort not felt with “regular” earbuds. They didn’t dig into my ears and the soft silicone of the clip portion was more comfortable than I would have thought, I couldn’t really even feel it even after wearing them for a couple of hours. After owning regular headphones and earbuds, both Bose, I was really excited about the immersive audio feature on this product. It did not disappoint. The music felt like it was all around me, akin to being at a concert. The battery life was also impressive I was able to listen for long periods of time with no interruptions. I will say there was one incident where the left earbud went out temporarily. This seemed to be fixed after a firmware update was run. I also let my wife and kids take a turn, all had glowing reactions to the buds. I would highly recommend these to anyone who is interested in a different kind feel and experience while listening to music. I also enjoy the fact that I can be listening to music but still hear the world around me.

I bought these ear buds 3 weeks ago and am absolutely thrilled with them EXCEPT for the lack of battery capacity. I can only get about 4-5 hours of use before they need charging. Doing chores around the house these ear buds are amazing as you can hear your music AND hear conversations or whatever is going on around you. If it weren't for the battery life I would give these buds 5 Stars! They are BOSE quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these a week ago and love the sound, my previous Bose ear buds fit in the ear not around it, so still getting used to that. It is easier to have them on with music playing and still hear other things going on around you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think i received the Bose Open Air about 3 weeks ago and have decided to keep them. They provide a surprisingly detailed sound. Early on i didn’t think i would like the openness since all i ever owner were IEM’s, however, i use these for walks or gym visits and i find i like being able to hear an approaching car and gym noise is not as bothersome as i thought it may be. The best thing i like is being able to wear them for long periods. They are super light weight and i can forget i have them on. There is no heat build up or itchy feeling so they are very comfortable. The one thing i would like on a newer model is for the smaller end to extend a little further into the ear canal. Overall they exceed my expectations…

I've tried several different earbuds over the years from cheap ones to very expensive ones. My ear canal in each ear is different. I've tried several different sizes of ear inserts that are provided with the more expensive buds. All to no avail as the buds will not stay within my ears and pop out quite easily. For one set of nice earbuds I purchased, I was chasing them around the floor of an airplane during the trip. These Bose open earbuds have been a great solution for me. Somebody could pick me up and shake me like a rag doll and they wouldn't fall out. In addition, they have a high quality sound that is very pleasing to listen to. Were they are placed on the ear is comfortable and they don't interfere with sunglasses. Now a note. They do not go into the ear canal so they don't reduce ambient noise. This can be a benefit when you are in situations where you need sound awareness such as driving or at work. If sound suppression is your goal, go to something else. In summary, I have been very happy with these.
