Now this is the thing- they are designed to be able to hear your surroundings while you bike or jug, but none of them is loud enough to hear music when you are outside. They are actually best used in an office/work environment when you need to hear your coworkers or when the phone rings.

To me, they're very comfortable. I often forget I have them in. I also like the physical clicky button to pause/play/skip music.
I would gladly pay full price for these again.

They're also quite less expensive than these. Since I don't have these Bose, I can't compare audio quality but you can find comparisons on YouTube. I use them mostly for podcasts so audio quality doesn't bother me and they sound good enough for music.
I work at home, so I had dreams of comfortably wearing these during the day to listen to music and hop in and out of video meetings while connected to my computer. The microphones on these (even after software updates with "AI" doing voice enhancement) are just terrible. It sounds like you're talking with 1 cell phone bar, or like you're using a free pair of wired headphones from an airplane that you don't even know had a microphone. Every time I asked if people could hear me ok, I got a variation of "It sounds pretty terrible." And then as soon as I disconnected them, everyone said "ok, that's better."
For listening to music and podcasts while walking around, they're very solid, safe, and won't fall out. If you want to use them to talk on the phone or take video calls, you'll need another pair of headphones.

Not sure if I would spend $200+ on open earbuds as my daily driver. But in environments like the office, the gym or anywhere that you need to be aware of the world around you, they definitely have their uses.
I tried them with Samsung S24u and Apple iPhone 14 and every SINGLE person went out of their way to tell me how bad the audio was on their end.
Music... They're damn good and very very comfortable...
