I am in love with these headphones because of how they sound, how they feel when they are on my ears, AND because they don't block out the sound of the world around me. If you want noise-canceling, stop reading.
While they are a little tough to get settled into just the right spot on my ears — I've had them for over two months and I still seem to think they're not on right when I put them on — once they are secure, I forget they're on almost instantly.
I use these at the gym for my hour-long daily workouts. I don't think I've been able to get more than three workouts in without getting the audible warning that the battery is low, so I question Bose's claim about an 8-hour battery life. Frustratingly, you can't just stick them in their case and get another couple charges out of them. The case is just a case, not a combination charger and case.
If you are looking for features you might be used to from other true wireless earbuds, you may be disappointed. They don't pause when you take one off of your ear like most wireless earbuds do. And see above about not being able to charge them in their case. Also, I don't perceive a benefit from the app so I have not downloaded it to "(g)et tips, control music, personalize settings, and get started right away" as Bose says. I just want to hear high quality music, not use these with my Google assistant.
As far as high quality music is concerned, these are the best sounding small wireless 'phones I've ever used. I say "small" to differentiate them from bigger cans like my Grado GW100 V2's to which the Boses don't compare. But I can't (or won't) wear the Grados to the gym. For a small, workout-ready, sweat- and weather-resistant set of wireless headphones that sound incredible for their size, these can't be beat and are well worth the price.
First, they are not comfortable and caused pain with only an hour of use. I have come to terms with the fact I am a larger person and things are not going to be designed with me in mind, but I expected there to be at least a little bit of adjustability to account for different ear sizes. There is absolutely no adjustability or give. If your ears are not just right these are not going to fit you. I am finding it's not worth the $200 gamble for a small chance that these will be comfortable for you.
Second, the charger is separate from the case...... why..... why Bose..... why.... every other competitor in this price range (and even in the lower ranges) has the charger in the case. I travel for a living and space is limited. The last thing I need is to pack a large docking station with a permanently connected cable, with no easy way to manage the cable, on top of the separate case for the buds.
Third, the charger uses a USB-A connector. These came out in 2020, there is no reason why it shouldn't be a PD compatible USB-C. And it should be a separate cable that plugs into the charger and not hardwired for easy storage.
Fourth, the battery life is not for all day use. I only used them for 6 hours (in 30-60 minute blocks before they were to painful to wear) before they died from a full charge. And hopefully you are by a wall or have a battery bank and the needlessly cumbersome charger to connect these for an hour to get through the rest of the day.
Fifth, be ready to get another app if you have any legacy Bose products. You have to download Bose Music to connect/configure these, you cannot use the Bose Connect that my QC35 II requires. It wouldn't bug me as much if I could also configure the QC35 II in Bose Music so I only had to have one app for both devices.
Sixth and final, the price. Understanding that Bose products do cost more than other competitive products, every Bose speaker and headphones I had up to this point I felt were worth the higher price. Even if these worked as intended, I would still be grumpy about the price and likely would have returned them on that alone unless they completely blew me away. My wife has a pair of wrap around earbuds that address every issue listed above, with the exceptions of the open ear, that she got for $30... If I'm going to pay 6 times the cost I'm going to expect something at least as functional.
In conclusion, these could have been amazing, and I think that is the part that makes this more painful. Out of the dozen Bose products I have used in my lifetime every one has at least met, and most exceeded, my expectations until these earbuds. I expect better from you Bose.
During the first week, my ears did sort of hurt a little bit after removing the earbuds after an hour of use. Over time though, my ears are completely used to the items that I am placing on them and the headphones NEVER hurt anymore. It is just an adjustment and a change, just like anything else we do to our bodies. I actually forgot that they used to hurt a little in the beginning until I read some of these reviews.
They do not fall out of my ears ever. They are so comfortable that I sometimes forget I’m wearing them until someone points it out. They are, however, a bit larger and not at all discreet. But again, that was not on my list of requirements and works fine for me.
I do make sure to keep them charged as I could easily kill the battery within a day. This hasn’t been a problem since I know and plan to keep them ready.
I admit that I have dropped them numerous times and they still work great.
Easy to connect to and to use the buttons, the app, and the various controls.
Friends and family say that sound quality is good for chatting on the phone, however some noise is present I’d you are munching while you talk ;)
Hope you enjoy your purchase!
