Highly recommended for any outdoor exercise. Can wear for hours without any fatigue and the battery lasts a long time. Perfect for running outdoors as you can here what you are listening to but still hear the surroundings
Let me start by saying, I'm a fan of Bose products and have had everything from multiple generations of headphones, soundbar, home theater, standalone all-in-one, and even two pairs of glasses. I know Bose to produce quality stuff and was excited to try these. I purchased on day one and there are some good and bad things.
First the good - they fit great and exactly what I need. I hate things in my ear and the comfort of these is perfect. They also don't move or slip at all... a great physical design. They also have good sound quality that I can hear well but of course because they are open, ambient noise can impact listening. That said, the sound quality is what I'd expect from Bose. In addition, there are nice features like multi-device paring (which came through in an update) and also the ability to do cool things with audio perception as you move around. These are my favorite ear buds by far.
However, there is one bad and it's a big one - the call quality. Everyone says they can't understand me with these things... it doesn't matter if it's a standard call or an online meeting, they all say it's pretty bad and ask me to stop using them (which is embarrassing for sure). It's so bad that I end up having to carry around a second set of ear buds for when I want to do a call. I've used both Airpods and Meta Ray-Ban glasses and people say I sound fine with those... so something about the microphone on these is not up to par.
All said, I am happy with my purchase overall as the majority of my use is for listening to music or podcasts while walking. I like being able to still hear what's going on around me and never have a problem with the fit, sweat or anything else you'd experince with in-ear earbuds. I am hoping they can fix the microphone in an update or perhaps a future generation. If you don't plan on using these extensively for call, I'd highly recommend them.
I have connection problems. Sometimes one side of connect and the other won’t then other times you can hear through one and then it’ll go to the second one very unsatisfied.
Another great pair of headphones from Bose. Excellent audio quality. Extreme comfort. Switching automatically between music that I am listening to to a telephone call then back to what I was listening to should be much easier in 2024.
