After personally having used the earbuds for a few weeks I thoroughly enjoy them. They have quality sound and bass as does all Bose products. Pros: easily put them on your ear, cause no discomfort to my ears after wearing all day, the Spatial Audio feature allows for a more rich sound when listening to music or watching something, the battery level lasts a very long time I was consistently using them throughout each day and didn’t have to charge them until about a week later, having the button instead of swiping motion allows you to have a “shortcut” set up but also control the volume instead of having to put the volume control as your shortcut like previous earbuds. Cons: there is no active noise cancelling and depending on what you are doing this can be annoying or could be a benefit, because of the style they don’t sit directly in your ear therefor someone next to you can still hear what you are listening to if they are loud enough, the button to control sits behind the ear and does make it a little trickier I feel to get to compared to the swiping and taping motion previous earbuds had. Overall I enjoy these headphones and will continue to use them.

I purchased them to compare to the open fit shokz. In my opinion the shokz have better call quality especially the volume level. Although the music quality and overall fit the Bose has a slight edge. I expected more at this price point. Innovation hands done Bose wins.

I have a lot of activities that require hearing protection. 1: I farm, so I use these earbuds to protect my hearing from tractors, bushogs, bailers and other implements. I do listen to music while farming and these sound great because cancelling the unwanted noise allows the music to be heard. 2: I also ride a motorcycle. I use these under my helmet to cancel out the wind noise. The loudest wind noise at highway speeds tend to crackle at the peaks. This is not the most ideal use for them and could use some enhancements in this area. I do realise they may not be designed for this use which has particular challenges which is understandable. 3: I recently used them at a gun range. They worked very well for the weapons I was firing. I did use a suppressor on the firearms that limited the report to about 115 decibels. The earbuds worked perfectly. Not sure how they would work for unsuppressed firing. 4: I am an indrustrial electrician by trade and work in a noisy environment. These earbuds drowned out all the background noise of machinery and conveyors so I can perform my duties without the harmful effects on my ears. And they work great. I have other bose buds and it seems the noise cancelling has been better with each product iteration. These seem to be even better. They do have a lot of control options and I find myself having to repeat actions to get what I want to happen. Maybe just me. I don't consider it a draw back though. Overall I really like these buds and think they will be received well by the adventurous user as well as the audiophile.

I bought two of these a month ago with “high” hopes and expectations based on a customers and industry expert feedback and our own brand awareness and experience with Bose products. We love all our other Bose headsets to included in ear and over ear styles. I wanted to give this a 4+ rating, but could not after just our first week using it. As with everything, there are pros and cons to a product that’ll define the overall review. Here are mine. Pros: unique and intelligent design, color options, spatial sound, easy to use. Cons: battery life, BT connectivity, loose fitting, falls off during activity, mic quality.

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.

Earbuds are ok. Nothing special compared to others. The case is disappointing. No keychain or loop to hook. I almost lost the other pieces, you open it and they all fall out. Bose has really cheaped out. While these are comfortable and bose is what I know and have been loyal to, I’ll be shopping around next time I’m in the market.

I like the instant Bluetooth connection. However after the original Bluetooth setup with the Bose Quiet Comfort app the Apple iPhone IOS takes over and overrides the Bose app 50% of the time. Which means I cannot adjust any earbud settings through the Bose app.

I bought this about two weeks ago with a very good music sound quality but callers at the receiving end of my voice complained of shouting and intense noise at the my background. This product seemed not to have noise cancellation and it is a great challenge to me because I work in noisy environments.

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!

I use these on the golf course. Perfect for this activity! I can actually hold a conversation while listening to my music. Unlike other golfers blaring their music all over the course imposing a cacophony of genres on fellow golfers my music is mine alone. Also, they remain in place even during my more “aggressive” swings. Thanks Bose!
