Why I got these headphones: I work in a lab, occasionally work out and walk outside. I do not like having anything in or completely over my ears for that long Pros: Great balanced audio in immersion, can be worn without blocking out the world. Very comfortable and can be worn for a while Cons: Hard to know how to position them right off the bat but once you find a place that works for you, they are great. My optimal position for audio overlapped with an earring I have but thankfully it is healed enough that it can handle the slight pressure. Great use cases (in my opinion): work tasks, running outside, playing ambient calm sounds for stress, most music Less great use case: Playing (really) loud music or audio for when you need to block out the world or your own thoughts

I bought these several weeks ago and have basically been living in them. These are nothing short of amazing. It took a bit to get used to the various configurations you need to know, but the learning curve is easy. (Even if I fade back into my AirPods-mode now and again.) The sound choices are phenomenal with Immersive Audio being a treat I didn't expect. (I'm a musician, and to have the sound working move like that is wonderful.) These puppies are for real! I love them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a Mother's Day gift to myself and I have to say, BEST GIFT EVER!!!! When I walk/jog with my ear buds, I forget I have them in because of how they feel. I'm thinking of getting a second pair…..

I have a number of Bose products and am happy with them. I wanted these for exercise and just walking around town with the dog. They are excellent. They re so light and easy to control. They don't fall off and I really hardly know they are even on my ears. These are just what I was looking for.

I have really small ears and have always had issues with ear buds. I really like the fit and comfort of these, they stay in place. That being said, I'm really disappointed in the voice quality when I answer calls. I guess I'll only use them to listen to music. 😫

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have over 10 Bose products and generally love them. I bought Open Earbuds since I really want buds that won't fall out or feel itchy. These are great -- I can run and jump without ever losing one, and also barely notice I am even wearing them. The sound is great but of course since they are open, the sound is not as pristine as with the regular earbuds. Very good, but not quite a 5. And too expensive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't wear inside- the-ear buds because none of them will stay in. I have another brand of out-the-ear buds that are comfortable and work great. I thought they had great sound until I heard the sound from the Bose open earbuds. These are so comfortable I forget I have them on. The sound is great for open earbuds and the ability to customize the sound makes it better. They are easy to mount on the ear and stay in place nicely. I wear them during workouts and while working outside the house without any problems. The Bluetooth range is better than I expected, 20-30+ ft. The app makes it easy to configure sound quality and get tips about using them. Overall, I'm very happy with them and would recommend them in the open-ear category.

Less than a month old and I am not very impressed with the sound quality. It is not loud enough even if the volume is turned up. I am a car audio enthusiast and I know what good sound is. I wish they could make a software update to allow us to crank up the volume a bit more, as we can always turn it down when its too loud. Also it skips a beat once in a while which is very annoying.

I am loving these buds. I can get in workouts that last more than an hour without having to worry about the power running out, and the sound is great. I do sweat a lot, so an intense workout will result in some glitch with the sound if the buds encounter moisture in my ears. Otherwise, great sound with great staying power.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the comfort of these ear buds. I can wear them for hours and hours with no discomfort. They are great for activities where you are moving, since they stay comfortably in place. The sound is great, although they are not loud enough to overcome the sounds of a lawnmower or other power equipment. I have had 6 different brands and styles of ear buds and these are the best yet.
