I’ve used these on 12 outdoor runs now and I’m really enjoying them. Great sound quality while still be able to hear what’s around me. They do feel different and it takes some getting used to but overall very comfortable however I do not like wearing sunglasses at the same time while running as it makes it feel like too much weight on my ears. The battery life seems to last a really long time. I’ve never liked my in ear pods from Apple, always hurt my ears and would fall out. With these, I do not have to readjust them while I’m on my run! I gave it 4 stars and not 5 only because it’s annoying having to buy a separate case for wireless charging.

I love the quality of sound that they provide. The quiet mode is the best I have tried. The only thing that I do not like is that the right one tends to fall out while mowing the lawn or doing any activity other than working at my desk. It would be awesome if Bose would make an over the ear retention style adapter for these. Others just don't seem to have the sound quality. Not a specific Bose issue but this style of earbuds does not provide ambient noise cancellation for the person on the other end of a phone call. It would be real cool if they could be equal to the ambient noise control of the Blue Parrot headsets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the earbuds a week ago and have them on almost all day long. I really like them. The sit in the ear with the little roller that keeps them in the ear not matter if you take your glasses off & on, which other have flown out of my ears when doing such. It only be a short time but I really like them more then any others I have had. Besides the original ones I had with the cord between the buds, which are not made anymore.

I bought these a couple of weeks ago for my daughter. She has a lot of difficulty wearing in ear buds. She doesn’t like head phones either. As a runner, she needed something that allowed her to hear traffic, but was not in her ear. So I sent her these to try. When I asked how she liked them, she said, “They’re awesome”. Stayed on while running and gave her great sound. When I went to visit, she wore them constantly while working and cooking. Best purchase ever.

I have had my ear buds for a month and love them. I forget I have them on and the sound is the expected BOSE stereo. These are not noise cancelling like my others, but I still get the concentrated work environment needed while being aware, but not overwhelmed by the sounds around me.

I am so impressed with these!! I was leary with purchasing such a high end product without first trying to test it. But....no regrets here!! I love that I can adjust the sound via my phone, I can get more bass and less of treble for music, and turn around and adjust for the podcasts I listen to.

First things first. These are not Apple AirPods Pro's. Now with that out of the way, I'll get to what these are, and why I only gave them 4 stars. These are very, very good sounding headphones with an awesome design that keeps them on your ears no matter what you're doing. Very good sounding emphasis here! Not "totally awesome dude", because by design they can't be. Yes, you can hear the outside world with these things on, as well as listen to your tunes etc. That's what they are supposed to do, by design. I like that I can be aware of what's going on around me!!! If you have any doubt as to what you are buying I would reread the Bose description on the website again, because that's exactly what you are getting here. My giving them 4-Stars has only to do with two issues. The first being that these cost $299 which is $50 bucks more than the bar which I believe are the AirPod Pro 2's. So I would have liked to see these priced the most at $249. Second, while the Bose App and software setup was okay on my iPhone I did have to reset the Bose headphones twice to get it right. So be patient and you'll be okay. To add to that if the "seamless" AirPods setup on my iPhone is worth the $249 then how is this non-Apple experience worth more? This all coming from someone who has many headphones at his disposal to take to the gym, and/or on a bike ride. I happily now take these by design paired easily to my Apple Watch!

I bought these recently because I needed a way to listen to music and podcasts without disturbing others. They really fit nicely and can hold a charge for quite a long time. I should mention that I have been a Bose customer since the mid-70's and have multiple versions of speakere systems, both hard wired and bluetooth. The sound wuality has and always will be excellent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very lightweight, easy to use product. Allows for modification for different audio preferences. App functions great. Immersive audio is a great added feature. Would definitely recommend for runners and other types of activity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not happy, many complaints. Not catching onto Bluetooth many a times, left earbuds having issue in charging as well as flashing red for no reason, since the next moment it will show 100% charge, all kind of issues
