Got these As a gift from the wife for my cycling adventures and I couldn’t be more happy! I can hear my surroundings and maps/music perfectly. They are performing better than any of the other sport type headphones I’ve ever had!
I’ve had my ultra open earbuds for about a month now and the only reason they get 4 stars instead of 5 is call volume. They fit me very comfortably to the point that I have actually forgotten that I’m wearing them. I have never found earbuds that will stay in and I wear glasses so the over the ear style are pointless but these are perfect. The battery life usually lasts my entire workday (10+ hours of moderate use) and listening to music with them is truly fantastic. I had an issue with my charging case, one of the pins was trapped below the plastic, that I was able to correct without having to wait out the returns process (3 weeks). To make these earbuds perfect Bose just needs to have calls and music be able to have the same range of volume. Calls are much quieter than music and if there’s even a bit of background noise calls become bery difficult to hear at even the highest volume. Music does not suffer from this issue so it doesn’t really make sense to me. I use an iphone 14 and the Bose app.
I got thes as a father day gift and am very happy with the comfort and sound. One thing that could be better is the in call volume is always so low I have it maxed out and still very hard to hear calls sometimes. As a comparison to music or a pod cast that I will listen to I usually keep those under 25%
I purchased these a couple months ago as I am training for my second marathon. They are light and give off great sound while being able to hear around me. We all know there are some creepers on the trails so it’s important to not have complete noise cancelling while running those trails.
I like the fit, only earbuds I’ve been able to wear for more than 1 hr without my ears hurting. They are good and clear in a quiet environment. However in a commercial fab building with lots of different noises in the back ground they don’t work. The transmission speakers only pick up back ground noise. For they price they are a great fit, operationally they don’t work any better than $40 earbuds.
