I purchased about three weeks ago. So far, they are like my other Bose headphones. Great. I don’t like earbuds that go in my ear. I still think the mics could be better though.
I’ve had these a few months. They serve the purpose I bought them. Great quality BOSE sound while still being able to hear the surrounding ambiance. They can sometimes get drown out in noisy environments, but that’s a bit expected. Comfortable wear for hours. There is a learning curve to the functions and buttons. Download the app. My biggest complaint is the microphone seems to pick up all surround noise as well. People have complained they cannot hear me well when I’m speaking to them using the buds. And occasionally the sound skips or sounds choppy. I have not done aggressive workouts with them. Mainly use them while working so as not to disturb others.
My husband bought these for me to replace my AirPods. You all have done spoiled me as I will never go back to buds shoved inside my head!! The sound quality is so much better! And I really like the spatial aspect of them. They last an amazing amount of time before recharge and I can get upwards of 2.5 days of use before the need to plug them in. We are working in getting him a pair as well.
Connectivity with Apple is spotty. Constantly disconnects. Good for music but not the best for calls. Pretty comfortable, great concept but could use some tweaking.
I’ve been using the Bose open-ear buds since they were first released, and while there are some things I absolutely love, there are also a few key drawbacks.
First, the comfort is fantastic. I often forget I’m even wearing them—they’re that lightweight and comfortable. The open-ear design is a huge plus when I’m listening to music or podcasts in a moderately quiet environment. The audio quality is excellent, delivering clear sound without feeling too isolating.
However, when it comes to phone calls, this is easily the worst headset I’ve used. People on the other end constantly tell me I sound like I’m talking through a cup and wire, which makes it pretty much unusable for calls. If a call comes in, I have to switch to another device because the quality just doesn’t hold up.
Overall, these are great for entertainment, but if you need something for regular phone calls, I’d look elsewhere.
