Already sent these back. Tried them for a week and every time I went to use them I had to disconnect and reconnect because the left one was not working. Not going to do that each time I go to use them.

What can I say I love music I went from AirPods Pro to these and I am very glad I did. I had them on for 6 hours and my ears never hurt. The sound the bass wow I love it. I was able to immerse myself in my work.
I was really quite excited for these, as a treat for myself and a replacement for my current non-Bose pair that are beginning to break. However, I only ever intended to use the left one solo, at least for a good long while, since I have a healing piercing in my right ear that completely prevents me from using an earbud on that side. The sound quality is good, the fit is good, but I'm pretty bummed that only the right earbud can be used solo.
I know this says to refrain from mentioning competitors, so I at least will not mention specifics; but the earbuds I had hoped to replace were significantly cheaper, and could both be used solo. It's pretty disappointing that a far more expensive and (I hoped) high quality brand lacks this feature.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you like the sound quality and fit of the earbuds. While listening to the earbuds together is great, you can use the two earbuds separately for listening to music and calls. This new feature lets you seamlessly switch between your earbuds. This is great if you want to use them separately, which is great if one earbud runs out of battery or disconnects from Bluetooth®, you can continue listening with the other earbud without interruption. Make sure the firmware is up to date using the Bose Music app, and you'll have access to Independent Single-Bud Use.
The earbuds did not connect independently of each other, meaning if I took the right earbuds out of the case first and I decided I only wanted to have the left one in.

Hi Minh. Thank you for posting. You can now use either the left or right earbud for listening and calls with Independent Single-Bud Use. This new feature lets you seamlessly switch between your earbuds, and if one earbud runs out of battery life or disconnects from Bluetooth®, you can continue listening with the other earbud without interruption. While the earbuds sound great together, you can now enjoy the times when you want to use just one of your earbuds. Make sure you check the Bose Music app to update the firmware.
