Better than my hearing aid
The Bose Hearphones are by far the best hearing device that I have ever used. The range and sound pattern, particularly in public areas, is so much easier to manipulate than my very expensive hearing aids. What’s more, they are also the best sounding music earbuds that I have ever used. Have you ever tried listening to streaming music from an iPhone using hearing aid software? Don’t, the quality is horrible. The only advantage that most expensive hearing aids have over the Hearphones is their size. Hearphones look just like QuietControl 30s in your ears, but so what?? All my friends already know I have a hearing problem, so who am I kidding? Why spend 1,000’s of dollars to wear “invisible” hearing aids, which sound horrible when you try to play music or take a phone call, and aren’t really fooling anybody anyway?

Amazing!
I have needed digital hearing aids for over 30 years due to damage from gunfire, and at $4000 an ear I could never afford them. Wearing these things to me is like giving a blind man sight again. I sat out on my back porch and for time in over thirty years I could hear the birds singing. I’m in awe of my new world!

Amazing product improved my quality of life.
I can hear!! I can be apart of conversations now. I highly recommend Bose Hearbuds to anyone who has difficulties hearing. They are way cooler then traditional hearing aids that are marketed for seniors, and not for someone in mid 40’s such as myself. The phone calls are crystal clear, and the music is impeccable.

Bose Hearphones
I have had them for just over a week and love them. Using the medium ear pads they are so comfortable I forget they are in my ears. Sound quality is great, and has really improve my ability to hear conversations that I normally would not even know were happing around me. I can keep the TV at a really low level and still hear everything fine, I have even turned off close captioning and finally have a full view of my programs now. Recommend not going above a 50 volume wise as at that point any sudden loud sounds are very loud.

Nice to hear again!
I’ve had my Bose hearphones for about a month and really am quite satisfied. So many instances where I feel like I’m part of life again, like sitting in the back seat and being involved in conversations, enjoying TV at a normal volume and being able to hear when taking a call to list a few. I like how I can adjust the settings to my personal needs depending on my environment.
My only issue was when I went from an iPhone 7 to the 10 Xr and the new phone would not recognize the app. Customer support helped me to perform a system update and once I deleted the app and reinstalled, I was back up and running. (Hold time was inordinately long, but the support was great.)
My plan is to use the hearphones at least until 2020 when hearing aid sales will be deregulated. At that time I am betting (hoping) Bose will have a traditional hearing aid developed at a fraction of the $5000 cost of the best ones today!

Excellent!
For me, Hearphones are great! I have almost no hearing in my left ear and reduced hearing in my right. I drive people crazy asking them to repeat themselves. I have to play the TV too loud for everyone. In restaurants and other public settings, I can't hear most conversations. With Hearphones all these issues go away. Using the iPhone Hearphones app, I can tune the Hearphones to the environment I am in.
A surprise feature for me was the ability of the Hearphones to function as high quality headphones for my iPhone. When I get a call on my iPhone and I am wearing my Hearphones, the call rings in the Hearphones. When I play music on my iPhone the music plays through the Hearphones.

Updatee for iPhone XS Max
You need to update the app to fit the new iPhone XS max phone. It does not integrate seamlessly as it did with previous versions of the iPhone. The app is outstanding it works extremely well to improve my hearing and I can’t enjoy the music. Unfortunately it is frustrating to try to pair the app to the new iPhone XS Max iphone. would highly recommend this application and this headset for anyone who has minor hearing loss. I have no trouble with wearing it in public especially if I explain upfront that it helps my hearing. I’ve had no negative reaction to me wearing the headset in public.

Better Than Expected!!!!
Wow, I tried then at the Bose store. They were very incredible. But now that I tried then in real life, better than at the store. Anybody that has trouble hearing your friends or family, these are
Worth every penny. Sure they are not than normal headphones but worth every penny.

Ok- saw the special on CBS Sunday Morning and knew I needed this for our 85 year old mom who sets the sound bar on the TV to stun. It is amazing. I wore it for the first night to get use to the controls so I could set it up for her because I knew she would deny she needed it. What I found out, I wanted one. I listened to music and found that I could hear EVERY LYRIC. Amazing. So I took it w me to the Keith Urban concert and was elated w my great sound and poor seats. Believe me, the Staples Center is not know for the sound quality. It is no Hollywood Bowl. So my mom is using them and the family is no longer hostage to the TV but I may have to get my own!!!

These are fantastic I lost a hearing aid and picked these up until they get here and fitted.
The amplified voice and the controls that allow you to hear in your comfort zone is better than my aids. I paid over 5thousand for my aids I am considered to have moderate hearing loss. These are just what I needed. There are some design challenges but nothing compared to not being able to hear clearly and crisply. I’d recommend these to all. If they come out with an improved version I’ll be the first to grab a set. K. C. San Diego Ca.
