I loved them so much that I bought 2 pair. Here’s the story… I accidentally packed my Bose quiet comfort ear buds in my luggage that I checked in and I needed my music to keep me calm before a flight. Went to a technology store and saw these open ear buds and loved the concept of it. So just bought them on a whim… the buds offer the same as my quiet comfort without having to worry that they’d fall off of my ears and keep pushing them in. Interestingly enough the sound offered the same depth of sound that I had with my other Bose ear buds. It fooled me because I thought it’s open face would not allow me to really hear my tunes and keep the sound around me away especially in a crowded airport but I was completely and happily wrong. I loved them so much i ordered another pair in another color. Wish I could have purchased the gold ones/diamond colored ones but love the 2 I have now. Bose is as impressive as always.
I been suffering from ear pain due to use of airpods and was looking for a comparably performing reliable alternative that wouldn't seal the ear canal , finally found one, love the buds , it would have been even better if the case had wireless charging..
I love the way that they stay in place in your ear, but I wish that the microphone picked up better because people sometimes complain that they don't hear me well even with a quiet background.
Bought these to have the opposite of noise canceling as I have to hear my machine and the conventional buds block my hearing enough that I can't hear very well with one bud in. These are the equivalent of having a surround sound system attached to your ears but can still hear everything that goes on and get better quality sound being able to use both while still getting background noise. The auto volume is very nice also as my machine and the ones around me vary wildly in decibel output and they adjust to your surroundings. Worthy of every penny I spent and the immersion mode is something else!
I really wish I could give these a five star rating. The only reason I don’t is due to call quality. At first, the microphone did not pick up very well, but after a couple of resets that was taken care of. The incoming audio cannot be adjusted loud enough. These are extremely comfortable and are great for listening to music while working or performing other tasks. I can’t wear standard earbuds, they never seem to fit quite right. These fit extremely nice and ambient noise is not blocked. Music playback is great but not wonderful. If the call volume could be increased, these would be perfect. They are a great all-around alternative to in the ear buds.
