Really glad I bought these. Sound quality is good and easier to wear when in a setting that I need to hear traffic, discussions or other things around me. When on a call, I'm told sometimes that it's heard to hear me talking (I'm muffled), not sure if that is a Bluetooth or software issue w the Bose Earbuds.

I bought these when they first came out and they worked really well. After the last few months using them every day I noticed the right I use the most has slowly been getting lose on my ear. Now I can not use them to make phone calls any more because the person on the other end can not hear me and say it sounds like your far away. All in all they was amazing at first but having them since they came out tell now I'm going back to my aftershokz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've in search for ear phones that does not irritate my ear for years and finally decided to purchase this. So happy with this purchase. It's comfortable, decent sound. Although, if your used to over the ear or in ear type of headphones or ear phones, the sound quality is not this same. You can compare open earbuds more to listening to radio, where you can hear all the surrounding sounds.

as someone who has never been able to wear earbuds without them falling out of my ear.. these are awesome! 4 stars because the call quality isnt great & the design could be better as far as placement of the speaker. otherwise the sound while playing music is very good. these earbuds are so comfortable i sometimes forget I have them in. you can hear the music and everything around you which is great for busy city streets. if bose ever makes these with noise cancelling or a way to adjust the length for better fit.. i will buy the updated versions. highly recommend for people that can't wear regular earbuds.. do not recommend for people that make frequent calls or need them to communicate for work video chats.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these for a Christmas present for myself. They are very comfortable and feel like wearing nothing. The microphones are placed on the inside so you have to adjust them sometimes for people to hear you.They also have great sound!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple months ago and it has been EXCELLENT! No complaints whatsoever, the only thing I could possibly think of is that it's a bit bulky compared to other models but still fantastic, especially for the price. The noise cancellation is outstanding; it felt like I was at a symphony while in an airplane.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my open earbuds for about a month now and I love them! I wasn't sure that I would be able to replace my air pods, but these have been a great upgrade. The sound quality is so clean and crisp and I enjoy the settings available. The only negative comment would be that after a while, my ear gets a bit sore from the "squeeze".

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my walks and love the open ears concept so I can still pay attention to my surrounding. Comfortable enough and I feel they are pretty secure on my ears. My only wish is that the music would auto stop when I take it off.

Had an opportunity to use these buds for over a month now. This is a unique concept, in having an earbud that does not fit into the ear but rests outside of the ear canal. This allows for pass-through of natural sound while playing music/taking phone calls. This is the best "open-ear" earbud on the market. The sound quality is what you'd expect from a Bose product. The sound is "loud;" you don't have to position the bud closer to the ear canal to get a good, clean, crisp sound. The physical buttons make operation much easier and eliminates accidental touches. The flexible ear hook allows for easy on-off of the buds, and you don't have to worry about the bud falling off. The negative: Call quality is not good. Many callers state that it sounds muffled and underwated-like. While I rarely use these for phone calls, I found it difficult to have conversations because of this drawback. This is the perfect option for someone looking to buy earbuds but hates placing them in the ear. There is nothing else on the market that matches these.

The audio quality is too notch. If you want to listen to music yet still hear the world around you, they are great! As for phone calls, they are very bad. People always complain that they cannot hear me. If this is fixed, I would easily give these 5 stars.
