They've not only enhanced my music experience but also provided me with a much-needed escape during hectic days. If you're looking for a comfortable pair that can change how you interact with sound, I can't recommend them enough. They’ve truly been a revelation for me!
Amazing sound and comfort. Not practical for work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When paired to my phone and used to listen to music, they sound amazing. And if that's all you're going to use them for, you may really enjoy them. They are super comfortable and don't interrupt what's going on in the environment one is in. I bought them to replace an aging wireless headset that I use for work, however; and they weren't a good choice for that purpose. The first issue I have trying to use these the way I intended is lack of ability to mute the microphone without interacting with the device they are connected to. I really wanted to be able to move around the house while in a meeting without devices strapped to me and I simply cannot do that with these. The other problem I run into is the battery life. They last about 4 hours on a full charge. The documentation says longer, but the right earbud that is doing the processing for the connection uses more power and its battery dies well before the left. In this state you can still listen with the left for the full 5 hours or so, it's not a good experience, and you lose the ability to interact with your device with the right earbud out of commission. So, while these earbuds are amazingly comfortable, enough to put on and wear all day; I actually forget that I have them on, they don't work all day. I wish I had done more research before buying as it's hard to justify the extra cost of these versus something that has the functionality I need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these earbuds. I wear a hearing aid, so these allow me to still keep them in. I appreciate being able to hear my surroundings as I walk around the city. The push buttons are nicely tactile. They feel very comfortable on my ears. These are the only earbuds that fit and are secure on my ears.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these a month ago and i love the fact i can play ball or workout without them falling out my ear. i also love the fact they don’t take long charge and are very inconspicuous.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased Bose Open Earbuds to allow the free flow of air at my ear while listening to music and to allow me to stay alert to my surroundings. I could not be happier with this product
