Anybody use these with a Garmin Fenix?
Ha, I use the first Gen ones without any issues. Reddit might be helpful to gauge how well they work.

I hate the silicone earpieces. They slip out when they get oily. Yes, you can wipe them off but after a while, the silicone gets soft and slippery.

I bought this deal last time and returned them because connectivity issues. The sound and ANC were incredible so I bought the Ultras brand new but sadly the same connectivity issues there as well. For premium earbuds I would expect much better from Bose. On top of the poor connection, no wireless charging, no location finder, no multi point connection, nobody could hear me when was talking on the phone and the app is absolutely terrible/useless. My mind is blown at how awful a product Bose earbuds are. I ended up buying the Jabra Elite 10 and couldn't be happier. YMMV

Might be a stupid question, but how much better would theae be than my Anker Liberty Air 2 Pros? I've been pretty satisfied with those, maybe a shortish battery life, but I'm curious what a higher end pair offers.

Got these and have considered returning due to connectivity but the ANC is sooo much better than my Airpod Pros that I am keeping them, just for gym use. I get far more immersed in the sound when working out vs. Airpods because the ANC and sound is just better. Airpods much better for connectivity and calls so now I carry both and use airpods for walking around/errands, etc.

This is the "that's what she said" of refurb earbuds threads. Tired and unfunny.

Customer service is very good but the buds are disappointing. After trying out many different options I settled with Sony linkbuds. Very comfortable, ANC is really good. Price is great..battery is very good…really a nice gem.

I have these and the Liberty Air 2 Pro, and several other (Jabra, B&O EX, Samsung Buds 2 & Pro, LG Tone FP9, and a bunch of others), as well.

Sound quality: These are slightly better than Anker. Better Base, but I use the EQ to adjust them anyways so it not that big of a win, IMVHO. B&O EX wins for sound quality for sure.

ANC: This is where this is a huge win. These are prob the best ANC for any buds (and even compete w/ over the ear Bose QC45 that I have). I estimate that they are about 30% better for ANC than Anker. However, that is really evident in direct back to back comparison. If you continuous wear them for a long them (beyond 15min), I think my ears just naturally get use to the ANC isolation level that I cannot tell that much of a difference if I wear these or the Anker. But if I was to switch them, it is obvious of the difference. I tested the Anker, LG Tone FP9, wife's QC35 (did not bring the over ear Bose QC45), and these (switching them out after some time) on a recent flight to Europe over the holiday. And seriously, after 30min of wearing them, I could not notice much of a difference as my ears would have adapted to the level. The initial difference is noticeable, but you just get used to the isolation level as norm after sometime. So if your interest is the best ANC, then get this (or maybe the Ultra, which I have to tried).

The one issue that I have (for air travel) is the size and how much it sticks out. I was unable to turn my hear w/ these as it rubs against the headrest and pushing into my ears. Anker and LG was somewhat better for sleeping. But QC35 over the ear was best for sleep on the plane. Smilie

Battery life was fine for me as the Flight was only 6 hours so it was never an issue. I cannot imagine wearing these for >6 hours anyways if I need to sleep on the plane and turn my head.

Also bought these refurbished. Could not even get it connected to my phone. Contacted Bose and they sent me out the QC Ultra. Worth it. Would buy again.

Did it also take you 1.5 months to get your replacement like the other person in this thread?

I don't think it took quite that long. About five business days to get to them. 3/4 days for them to check/process. Then another 5 business days to arrive. So about 3 weeks. I would do it again. Pretty easy process.

Question…when I'm wearing these when I'm out, if I sit in my car and shut the door, these things send a LOUD low frequency POP in my ears that can't be normal. Anyone notice anything similar?
Yes I have the same issue especially in subway tunnel. I sent them back after 1 year of not using it. They sent me the Ultra. Which was so much better but the battery life is terrible. 3 hrs wouldn't even last for a flight from Chicago to LA.

These are excellent earbuds, especially if you don't run into connectivity issues. They are even better than the Ultras in my experience. Probably dependent on your ear shape but these sealed and sounded better with noticeable difference in ANC. I returned the Ultras and re-ordered these. The Ultras also suffer from the same connectivity issues as Bose didn't improve on that.
