Sound quality, clip-ping, design.... everything's great, BUTTTT THERE IS NO SOUND!!! VERY LOW VOLUME...... HARDLY ABLE TO HEAR ANYTHING IN CROWDS, MARATHONS.... plus, few great features of qc ultra lacking!!! 1. No sliding Sound control 2. No auto music stop feature, on removing from ear SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED, WHAT'S THE POINT OF SPENDING SO MUCH😞😞 BOSE MUST AMPLIFY THE SOUND BY SOME SOFTWARE UPDATE, and is possible add feature 2 also.

Please no one buy this product. Very poor mic quality, music is clear but volume is very low. Don't get stuck buying it It takes at least an hour to call customer care. The product was bought yesterday. The service has been booked. I don't know if it will be picked up. It is a very sad response

This open-ear headset is frequently criticized for low volume, excessive ambient noise, and inferior sound quality. However, these criticisms miss the point of the open-ear design, which is specifically intended to keep the user aware of their surroundings. These are primarily aimed at joggers, runners, cyclists, commuters, and those doing outdoor activities. If you want loud music and punchy bass, you should opt for standard in-ear earbuds or over-the-ear headphones. ​Despite this, I found the sound quality to be great and punchy, exceeding my expectations for an open-ear design. As a cyclist who also uses Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones, I can confidently say the sound quality on the Bose is far superior. Furthermore, I disagree with negative reviews regarding volume; I found them loud enough at just 50% volume. ​Pros: ​Premium build quality ​Excellent sound quality for an open ear design (don't compare with standard in ear designs) ​Innovative, minimalist design (This design could set industry standards) ​Exceptional comfort for long-term wear ​Secure fit—perfect for running, cycling, or gym ​Seamless app integration and customization ​Cons: ​Battery life: The 7.5 hours could be better for the price. ​Call quality: Not ideal for frequent calls. ​Price: Quite expensive.

It is good but not the sound doesn’t is not clear in places with high outside sound

I have been off a huge support to Bose on innovations for these open style music listening as it so important to maintain a good hearing health. We all abuse ears with music and outside environmental hazards, its important to sometimes keep it quiet but at same time listen to something in private . This the newest to the line up has not only helps to keep aware of your surrounding ( Indian conditions its challenging) but you can make it habit if you practise . The sound quality is excellent and very comfortable. I have been writing to Bose to keep the innovations open as I was upset they discontinued the Bose frames line up (another GEM). The main disadvantage I find here is the price but again I See this is cheapest in India compared to other parts of the world . To summarise its a niche product and will gain potential soon as we need to reduce using in-ears to escape from the environment. Yes Inner ears are unavoidable but at-least in quieter environment this would be an excellent choice. Thanks BOSE.

Worst... Not worth for that cost. Sound is very low and not to the expected standard of bose. Making calls is also not clear. Everytime i have switch of bluetooth and make or attend call directly in the mobile. I made a mistake in buy this product of bose. There is no return policy to return the product. I will not recommend anyone to buy this product. Worst product of bose.

First off, I did not even purchase the product for 'sound' quality as I am quite aware that the Open style is more of a comfort/ergonomic tradeoff. Note that I'm not bass head either. However, it doesn't seem to even meet the basic criteria of what an earphone is. The overall sound profile is highly sibilant and muddy, there seems to be no separation at all, everything sounds the same - be it instruments, voice or otherwise. Your favorite songs will sound like a soupy single sounded mess. I can barely hear anything clear even with 100% volume in a quiet room. It's worse than 250 Rs earbuds you get at the local store. Forget going to marathons or any public settings with these, you ain't going to hear a thing. (and yes there seem to be better alternatives if this is what your goal is) (And yes I did update the firmware, tried different EQ settings and also tried various ear positions) There is a possibility that the product might sound better if it fits you well, i.e. if you have small ears and the speaker can achieve better proximity to your ear canal. But there's a high chance for hit or miss. I must however say that these do sound really good for pod-casts/YT style audio/ASMR as long as there's just a single person speaking and minimal background noise so there is just that one valid use case. And of course there's the fact that they look quite good/unique. Comfort wise though, I do find them quite annoying since my ears are quite sensitive on the outer area and it reminds me of when my teachers would pinch me back in school. What really surprises me is that a minor change in sound profile/design could have done this product wonders because with just a bit more clarity and sibilance reduction, these could have served the purpose they were intended for. On top of all this, the fact that you have to roll dice and essentially gamble on a product that is 25k without absolutely no scope of returns makes this a big NO for me. (sadly I already have it and the least I could do is probably save some of you a headache and buyer's regret) Sadly though, I did read similar reviews but still wanted to give this a shot(as I'd assumed there was a chance that people didn't understand the format) and I guess I'm really to blame for that. I think there are better options available in the market, the Huawei free clips seems to be the overall better option, but I'd suggest you try a friend's before buying any earphone that follow this design format, the last thing you'd want is to end up in the same situation as me. Or better still, if stick to the traditional eartips/buds style unless you really really need open ears.

I bought it at a crazy deal where it was almost half the price it is generally selling for, and hence I can live with it. A very unique listening experience where the buds get clipped on and you can hear the sound while also hearing ambient sound. If you are in a really noisy environment, then even on highest volume setting you will not be able to hear properly. But otherwise battery lasts long, the clip on for me is so comfortable I can wear them as earrings all day. Now for the big fail: sucks for taking phone calls. The mic or distance from mouth - the recipient on the other end just can’t hear you. So be mindful if you are buying one for talking, don’t. It is my first Bose purchase, and definitely disrupts technology but I guess they have some improvements to do.
