If your looking for Bose earbuds that don't cancel out surrounding noise yet you can still hear good quality music or pod casts, these are the ones to buy!

I like them but there's no way to track the earphones. I don't like that.

At first I didn't think open air earbuds were worth it, because what was the point of earbuds if I couldn't hear everything fully? But then I started encountering times in my day to day where I wish I was able to hear a bit more of my surroundings. For example, I walk my dog everyday multiple times a day. Sometimes when I listen to music with my noise cancelling earbuds, I'll miss a cyclist or a runner whizzing by me, and I feel bad because if I knew they were behind me I would move over, especially since my dog is really big. I also noticed I would get startled by people when I'm at work when I have my headphones in, because I really cannot hear anything with my normal earbuds. Similarly, at the gym I've been startled a couple of times when someone would ask me if I was using a machine. I decided I wanted to be more aware of my surroundings. So, I saw that they were on sale and I decided to just give it a try and I was actually really impressed. First of all, the music quality is actually so much better than I thought it'd be. My impression was that it'd be a watered down version of the music, but it gives me a really full sound. The open airs are also SUPER comfortable. They cuff around my ear perfectly and aim the earpiece perfectly into my ear canal. With my noise cancelling earbuds, sometimes I would have to take them out because my ear would get a bit uncomfortable but these are super comfortable. Some reasons it may not be a 5 star: I've only had these for a month, so I can't speak for longevity. They seem to hold a charge really well though, since I got them about month ago and they still haven't run out of battery. I asked my family members to try them on, but my sister said it didn't cuff around her ear very well and it was uncomfortable. It's too bad you can't try these on before you buy them, but they fit my ears perfectly.

I bought these ear buds as I've two other Bose products. I love the lush, rich sound that comes out of your products.

I bought these this month and I've used them almost every day at work and they are great! However, wearing them for long periods of time do begin to discomfort around the 4 hour mark. Also, after 4 hours of use battery is at 50%; which compared to other earbuds, is not optimal.

I purchased the open earbuds about an month now and like the comfort. I have issues with earbuds staying in place. That said the sound quality is poor. I believe the reason is the area across the ear lob is to large (from the outer edge to the start of the ear opening) which pulls the earbud further out then what would be optimal. My wife uses them as well with no issues. I am undecided as to keeping them. Are there different sizes?

This was a replacement set for the original set that I somehow managed to lose. If this product wasn't excellent I would have gone somewhere else. But Bose is great!!

Excellent sound ??. There are comfortable .Great colour choice,( Midnight Violet) super easy to connect. There earbuds have seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. This open design is a major win,allowing me to stay connect to what's happening around me.

They sounds great while still allowing awareness of your surroundings. Bass is good for an open ear design and they are very comfortable. So good two of my cottage ordered their own.

I love the cuffed earbuds because of how they stay in place on my ear. The musical sound is amazing, The music is clear and the volume is adjustable. I love listening to music on them and exercising. BUT the sound and volume when talking, such as answering the phone is very low and the volume adjustment is poor. I have looked up how to adjust the volume for talking and I did everything suggested and it remains uncomfortably low. i feel like I have to strain to have a simple conversation. I do not have that issue with my Bose overear headphones. It is perplexing because the music volume is phenomenal but the taking volume is trash.

I have had my open ear buds for two weeks and love them. They don't cause any ear pain for me. The sound quality is excellent, and I like being able to hear around me while listening.

I am one of those skeptics. Didn't know how good they would sound, how they fit or anything, but I kept being curious. So I bought them on their sale. I got the blue carbon, added the app, put them on, synced them(easily),? and once my music came on?. Ya, I wasn't a skeptic anymore. I'm telling u right now?. DONT PASS THESE UP! They sound exactly what they are supposed to, and better! Other reviews say "it's hard to put on, it doesn't sound great, it's hard to adjust the sound, don't stay on ears"? No! It's all easy. Ya, it may need mini adjustments, but it stays put on ur ears! Ya it is a bit discomfiting, but it's nothing crazy. Overall: GET THEM! ????

I have about a month or so with them and I love them. My ear doesn't hurt and they don't fall out like the others.

This is my second pair of ultra-open earbuds, and I love them. The are sleek and sometimes I forget that I have them on.

I bought these because I have tinnitus and felt that my earbuds were making it worse. I wear them about 8 hours a day because I drive for a living. I like the convenience of these but I am still getting used to them.

I love these so much. I can wear them for hours without ear fatigue. they sound amazing, but I can still hear my surroundings as needed. just love the color! the battery lasts a long time and the charging case makes it last longer. the only thing that confuses me is why the charging case isn't also wireless....

This is my second pair! I have a set at work AND a set at home! Will likely get another set for my purse!

Was so excited for these! Tried them out for a couple weeks and I'm not impressed. They don't stay on my ear, the sound is nothing to write home about, and worst of all THEY KEEP DROPPING THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION. Save your $300 and purchase something else

Great sound and comfort. Unfortunately the grip is not strong enough to keep them secured while walking

Best earbuds I've ever experienced. Great sound quality and they never fall out like I've experienced with every other one I've owned.

They have really changed my life! I previously had bone-conduction headphones that rattled by cheekbones and gave me a terrible toothache, but I loved the open-ear concept because I run and bike a lot. These are the perfect solution, and the sound quality is incredible. They are comfortable and stay securely on my ears even while jogging. They're also attractive and look like jewelry (I have the blue/purple ones). I already got a friend to buy these on my recommendation. My only caveat is that it takes a little learning to master the touch controls, which doesn't matter too much if you control everything from your phone.

I am very happy with the sound, the feel, and tbe look. I am disappointed that I paid full price and the very next day I started getting emails with discount offers on the same product that I just bought
