Love these open earbuds so much I actually bought 2 pairs. I always had trouble keeping regular earbuds in place but this design is great, wraps around the back of your ear so they stay put. It’s nice that you can listen to music or a movie but still be aware of what’s going on around you.
I’ve been using for a few weeks now. Good for music. They are lightweight and take some getting used to as they DO NOT SIT INSIDE THE EAR! Battery life is amazing, last me all day; will forget you’re wearing them! Phone calls have been horrible for me! I thought maybe because I was only wearing one! Even with both of them the quality is poor as far as people say. When I’m speaking on the phone with them in, I often have to repeat myself constantly. That makes me sad! The main reason for my purchase. The price is for the brand. These ain’t that phenomenal.

I bought these because I have sensitive ears and I don’t like standard earbuds going in my ears. While I enjoy that aspect and the sound quality of these earbuds, the microphone quality makes it nearly impossible to use these earbuds for phone calls. As a result, I’ll be returning these earbuds

Hello Amber,
I am happy to see that you like the sound quality and fit of the earbuds. While I understand that you're planning to return the earbuds due to the microphone. I'd recommend making sure the earbuds are positioned correctly on your ears: https://bose.life/4efpjYn This is because if the earbuds are not positioned correctly then the microphones in the earbuds won't be able to pick up your voice clearly. Please do reach out should you need further help: https://bose.life/contact
