As a regular runner, and a music lover, finding the right headphones for my runs has been a needle in a haystack. I've tried several 'sport' models from Sennheiser and Sony, but never invested a lot of money as there are also limitations when it comes to making the headphones water and shock resistant. When I got the chance to try the Bose SoundSport, I was quite skeptical as I'd heard conflicting reports about Bluetooth headphones and sound quality.
When I opened the box, I was immediately impressed with the way the headphones were built. Sturdy and well put together, giving a premium feel. Pairing the headphones with my iPhone 6 was super easy, but even though I downloaded the necessary software, I didn't immediately feel I needed it. But I do expect Bose to come up with new features in the future.
The sound quality was great and wrapped up nicely with the rest. On a fast 10km run, the headphones just stuck to my ears, despite the fact that the headphones were heavier than I expected. But I have to admit that it was wonderful not to be busy with your choirs all the time, and to be able to just focus on the run and the music itself, without any distractions.
A disadvantage was that the connection between Spotify and Soundsport occasionally dropped out during subsequent runs, but I assume that Bose will fix this in the future by means of possible software updates. Overall, a solidly built, high quality wireless headset that is comfortable to wear and ideal for using on my runs.

Exactly what I was looking for. Comfortable wireless earphones with very good sound quality and easy operation with a neck cord as extra protection against loss.

Recently I went to have a look at bluetooth earplugs, because the cord of my earphones (se215) often got in the way. Both at the gym and when delivering mail, the cord was in the way, so time for bluetooth! After searching for a while, the choices were limited. It is very difficult to find good sound, good battery life and reasonable build quality in this category of earplugs. The Bose Soundsport Wireless seemed to best meet the criteria and despite the asking price I bought them. They are neatly packed and after opening the package you immediately notice the size. The earplugs themselves are very large and stick out a bit, so we immediately had the main flaw. Despite the size, they are very comfortable and when you take the black color it doesn't look (imo) necessarily bad. The size does have the disadvantage that you can hear the wind very well when you cycle and that makes the experience not so pleasant. The build quality is also good and it looks like they will last a while. After putting in the earphones, it's a matter of pressing the power button and selecting the device on your phone. A voice tells you the current battery percentage and which device you are connected to. There is also an app from Bose with a few small functions such as setting a time-out time. Handy, but not necessary. These earplugs do not close the ear canal, and this can be a plus or minus for you. If you want to wear them in noisy environments, choose another model. The sound quality is good, but don't expect the same quality as with wired options at this price. There's plenty of bass, but it's not an abundance either. The mids are good and the highs are a bit off. It is a pleasant sound image, although I do give the bass and small boost with the EQ on my phone. The bluetooth connection is almost always stable for me. At the gym I can put the phone down on a bench and grab some weights a few meters away. I really liked the Bose Soundsport wireless. They give good sound, are comfortable, the bluetooth works well and I am finally rid of that cord.
