  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.

  Top listening experience while commuting.

  • Good fit, firm in the ears but comfortable
  • Smooth operation, easy to connect
  • Very good sound quality
  • Volume control via mobile phone and earphones is split.
  • Battery life could be better. About 6-8 hours effective.
  • They stand out a little harder than similar models. Bulge out a bit.

  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.

  One of the best wireless earbuds on the market

  Rowan Silas Vermeulen | 2 August 2016 | Color: Black | Automatically translated from Dutch

  • Good sound
  • Easy to connect with phone; app
  • Good range of Bluetooth
  • Comfortable
  • Earplugs don't close off ear canal
  • Earplugs stick out too far
  • Earplugs don't close off ear canal
  • Wind clearly audible on the bike

  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.

  For indoor sports great for outside not recommended

  • Good sound
  • Battery life
  • Size of the earplugs
  • Wind

  A couple of times a good run with the Bose earplugs in combination with the TomTom runner 3 sound quality is perfect as you would expect, but if you walk outside against the wind you will go crazy with the hissing past the earplugs. Partly because of this I returned them

  Very happy with it

  • thick sound
  • no thread
  • Fairly large

  I can't imagine having wired headphones before. Besides the fact that it is super nice to be able to move freely, the quality of the sound is really very good! Deep bass, clear overtones. Nice to hear music with audio quality that is promised by many other brands, but is not delivered. These are the first wireless headphones that I am really satisfied with!
  
  As soon as you press the ON button you will be welcomed by a voice and your headphones are almost immediately connected to bluetooth, so you don't have to wait long before you can enjoy your music. Through the app you can set all kinds of things, such as volume, language, etc.
  
  So far, it has only fallen out of my ears a few times while exercising or cycling. If you start to sweat, they are of course a bit looser, so you have to press it in your ears again and again. I also found out that it is better to hold the wire in front of your neck than behind your neck. This way you can avoid pulling the earplugs out of your ears every time you move.
  
  The sound is really great! Good bass and clear highs, so you can enjoy your music to the fullest. It also has a mic, so you can also make calls. You should not do the villages too deep in your ears, otherwise you will talk very loud ;)
  
  The headphones charge quickly via USB and last a long time!
  
  When the battery is almost empty, you will also be informed so that you can charge in time.

  Top product with great sound!

  • Easy operation
  • Nice sound, fat bass
  • Useful for sports
  • A little too big in the ears
  • Connection sometimes drops

  These earphones are comfortable and have a very nice sound, especially the low is top! Sometimes the connection drops in one way or another, but that could also be due to my iPhone. Happy with these earphones!

  despite critical look very satisfied

  • Sound quality
  • wearing comfort
  • Easy to use
  • Battery life

  I am usually very critical when choosing new earphones, this would also be my first bluetooth set.
  Many reviews have topics such as price and quality.
  In the end, a review made me decide to go for this product. The one comment was about wearing comfort for people who wear glasses or sunglasses.
  In addition, Bose offers a free app for any music services that go over the Internet. When you listen to songs through your own library, you don't have to download the app.
  The product also makes it easy and fast to connect to the chosen devices such as telephone, tablet or computer.
  Finally, the product is very useful for making hands-free calls, even though it is not primarily intended for.

  nice sound

  • Sound
  • Sit comfortably
  • design

  I chose the headset to use it for sports. Precisely because of the bluetooth capabilities, this is an ideal device, the connection is therefore very simple (download the app on your iPhone and connect). As you would expect from Bose, the sound quality is excellent. Because I mainly use them for sports, it is important that they stay in place and they do. You barely hear the ambient noise anymore, but just enough to hear the traffic around you (unless you turn the sound very loudly.) Battery lasts at least half a day (charged after half a day, was never empty).
  
  In terms of design, I find the headset a bit disappointing. The earplugs are rather ostentatious, two large blocks that resemble a bluetooth set for your phone (the ugly taxi driver stuff). If you don't mind that, it's a nice set, and it also has an advantage: you won't be disturbed while exercising because they see that you are not approachable.
  
  All in all a nice headset, which - but I haven't used them that long - also seems to last a long time.
