[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A friend recommended these after my AirPods were destroyed in a washing machine accident. I really enjoy them! I have sensitive ears and I feel that the sound quality is perfect for me. You can adjust them on different areas of your ear as well, although I don’t know if that was intended or not. If you listen to music loudly, people around you can hear it, so be aware of that. Additionally, other earbuds tend to hurt my ear or they’re too large to fit comfortably, but since these almost act like a huggie on your ear, that hasn’t been an issue. Overall, they’re nice earbuds and have a pretty decent battery life after a full charge.

Fun new design, very comfortable, stays on during workouts, sound quality is great however they’re not as loud as quiet comfort due to them being outside the ear canal. Plenty loud enough to hear fine while working out and it’s nice to be able to have a conversation etc while listening to music. Battery lasts significantly longer than previous models.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used these for a couple of months now, absolutely love them! I hate the feel of inear earbuds so these work great in the gym. I switch between these and my quiet comfort ultra headphones and they solve every music situation!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love them. They are comfortable and they let me hear conversations with others. They let my ears “breath”, which is very important to me. They stay charged a long time and they recharge when I put them back in the case at night. I have several different brands and these are my absolute favorite. I will give the others away.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a refurbished pair about a month ago before traveling abroad. They take a minute to get used to but are very comfortable for long-time wear and allow you to stay attuned to the environment around you. I find that often only one headphone will connect and I have to reset the other one by putting it back in the case and taking it out which is annoying for a product at this price point (even refurbished). I don’t have a great sense yet about how much other people can hear what I’m listening to so I’m always aware of that and, until I can get some feedback/testing in with people I know, I find that a bit of a detractor. I’ve also tried to take calls with them and always have to switch to my phone because of complaints about my audio. So these headphones are great for a very specific purpose—comfortable long-term wear when you don’t want to appear “plugged in” and remain aware of the environment around us. They do not match performance for taking calls, noise cancellation, or peak audio quality and that’s because that’s not how they’re designed. They won’t be my main headphones, but I will use them often for those very specific purposes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased these a month or so ago because I Can never get earbuds to stay in my ears, but also because I want to have awareness when I am walking. These are perfect - and comfortable! I can wear them all day with no issues! Because I liked them, my husband decided that he needed a pair!

I've had these for a few weeks now, and overall, I'm pretty happy with the purchase. These are good for working around the house and working in the garage when there are other people around and you want to be aware of your surroundings. These obviously struggle in high noise situations such as cutting the grass and on an airplane. I did make the unfortunate mistake of using these to travel with.... They were actually great as I was navigating the airport and going through security... Once we got on the airplane they were almost worthless. Even at full volume I could not hear the movie I was watching. I do like the lightweight feature... I often forget that they're even there. It almost feels like everyone around you should be hearing the same music that you are.

I’ve been using these for two or three months now, while walking in the neighborhood and on trails in the surrounding hills. Sound is excellent, and the open design lets me hear things going on around me. Battery life has been more than adequate. I’m surprised at how secure and yet comfortable these are. I have no worries about losing them, and they are so light and comfortable it is easy to forget I am wearing them. If I could change one thing, I’d make it so that the driver can be set just a little closer to the ear, or be able to modify the sound balance from one side to the other to help offset a mild hearing loss in one ear.

Used it for almost 3 weeks. Excellent sounds like all Bose products and super easy to use. Very comfortable on the ears. The only down side, they are open earbuds; ergo, only suitable for low surrounding noise (gym, jogging, etc.). Used it on my weekly bike rides and on rough road surfaces or high speed (above 15 mph) cannot hear anything other the road noise or wind blowing.

I received these earbuds as a gift, and I wasn’t sure whether I would like them or not, especially after being a lifelong AirPods owner. I’m not sure why I was skeptical seeing as Bose has such a stellar reputation. I regret not buying these for myself a long time ago! These are, without doubt, the best quality earbuds on the market. I love them so much that I immediately ordered them for my husband because I felt too selfish experiencing such a great product when he was still using AirPods. I love the innovative design and the comfort. They clip right on my ears, and I am not worried about them falling off at all. I am still in awe of the sound quality and how no one around you can hear anything.
