    I got to admit they are different but being different could be a positive…just need to Lower that price tag!

    Samsung did an almost open ear design called the Buds live. The main reason I bought it and still use it is because my ears don’t get clogged and stuffy like all other buds closed design. I can use them for hours comfortably and able to hear things around me.

    I love when Carnoy gets his hands on something new like this. I can see the genuine eagerness to review these. I have the Bose frames gen 1 and 2 and Bose soundwear for a fairly active lifestyle, one for day and one for night, I was never a fan of bone conduction. These are very much purpose built, not for sound quality but for ensuring you can hear your surrounding. I’m surprised that there is no Spatial Audio or AR like in their other active lifestyle products. But I’m interested in these!

    I am a very considerate person with regards to sound pollution to others. Apples cheap ear buds leak like a shooting range target. Do these leak, I am sure they do. Hopefully users will be aware and considerate of others when in enclosed spaces.

      The leak very little sound.

    Bose always let themselves down by releasing products that miss key features and promising future FW upgrades.. Why?

    • @davidcarnoy961

      February 15, 2024 at 5:34 pm

      Good question ????

  8. @BG-ez9xv

    February 15, 2024 at 5:01 pm

    The reason I wear earbuds is NOT to hear what’s around me!! ????

  9. @KarolyKrausz

    February 15, 2024 at 5:04 pm

    In Germany they cost 350 EUR gross. That´s way, way too high. As from 230 EUR downwards we can start talking. The idea however is really nice!

    Son parecidos a los huawei

  11. @EugeneKee

    February 15, 2024 at 5:07 pm

    Can you compare this to the Huawei ones that you reviewed previously?

  12. @SJ-rp1kf

    February 15, 2024 at 5:18 pm

    Call quality is rubbish

  13. @Doukidiza

    February 15, 2024 at 5:25 pm

    Wow looks great! Great job Bose. Will purchase ditectly.

    I have no ears ???????????? are the mids a bit on the treble side?

    Bro. Those are chlorine wipes. Not alcohol wipes….

    Great detailed explanation. Thank you.

  20. @Mahlmo

    February 15, 2024 at 6:43 pm

    I had a similar reaction to Bridget’s when I learned of the price. Otherwise, I think these are pretty cool.

    My AirPods have such good transparency that they feel “open back”. I wish other brands made actual good transparency

  22. @cockandballtortureconnoiss2643

    February 15, 2024 at 6:47 pm

    So more expensive than the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, but don’t sound as good nor have ANC? Why would anyone buy these?

  23. @bigdaddybulge4206

    February 15, 2024 at 7:02 pm

    Nice job, Bose. Watch this fail

    • @eatgoo501

      February 15, 2024 at 8:07 pm

      At least they are innovating

  24. @calberto

    February 15, 2024 at 7:56 pm

    Being a former Bose fan (my last two products, the Earbuds 1 and then QuietComfort ultra, being hyper buggy and faulty), I’m excited yet I will wait for the third generation or so.

  25. @consmercado3843

    February 15, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    300? If i cannot enjoy my music on noisy environments? Nah ill pass I will stick with my qc buds 2. And besides the qc series already has an aware mode on it.
