As someone with neck issues and a smaller frame, I’ve always struggled with headphones—AirPod Pros, for example, can even be uncomfortable and heavy. I hesitated before buying these Bose Open Earbuds, and to be honest, I wasn’t thrilled when I first tried them. They felt awkward at first, but after some adjustment, I haven’t used any other headphones since.
I used to be a big fan of noise-canceling headphones, but as I’ve gotten older, I need to stay alert to things like kitchen timers, doorbells, incoming emails, and quick conversations around the home. These Bose earbuds solve the constant problem of having to touch or remove my headphones to stay aware of my surroundings. Unlike AirPods, which I found frustrating to pause and still hard to hear through, these don’t block my ear canals, and they never fall out. The battery life on the Bose is also incredible—I've rarely had to charge the case.
Honestly, I should’ve tried these sooner. They feel like listening to speakers only I can hear, and I can easily wear them even during long conversations while my media or audio is paused. They are also quite stylish, and I rarely feel the need to remove them; they are seriously so comfortable.
These are a great investment if your in an industry that allows open ear or bone conduction listening devices. I give them a 4 just because notifications are hard to hear unless your in a quite environment. I do wish Bose offered a way to listen to their equipment at it full potential. Volume on these is limited
Fit and sound quality are superb. Only issue is the mic pick up during calls. Often the other person on the line complains that they cant hear me quite well. Microphone needa inprovement
I never thought I would like an open earbud device, but I have grown to love them. I was initially concerned that they would fall out, but they have proven to be secure. It took me a while to get used to wearing them, but once they are on, I forget they are there. My only issue is that I wish they were louder. I often try to increase the volume when I'm out and about, only to find that it's already at the maximum level. Despite my efforts to adjust the settings for an extra boost, I haven't been successful. I understand that these earbuds are designed to allow you to hear your music and your surroundings, but I wish the sound quality could be improved slightly. However, overall, I love using them.
