Bose SoundSport in-Ear Headphones - Apple Devices, Energy Green

I've had and tried a lot of headphones over the years. The original Apple buds were very good in terms of sound quality but, as everyone knows, would not stay in your ears or even fit lots of people. The second round of Apple buds were awful. I had tried some others as well, Phillips (as bad as I expected) and numerous others, and then tried some Bose - a generation earlier than these. Quality sound reproduction is essential, which they had, and the rubber attachments to keep them in one's ear worked extremely well. It was a no-brainer and I used them for years until, as others have noted from time to time, I got shorts in the wiring where it joins the ear plug. Sad to say but, hey, I really got my money's worth and I've had decades of experience with wiring. Stuff like that happens. If it happens within a year, then that's a problem but two or three years, not so much. Anyway, I bought some Beats Tour2 buds from Apple and they fit fairly well (bulky) but the sound quality was not up to par - thin, bass rolloff starting in the lower midrange, and little stereo breadth. My musical likes run all over the place: trip hop, house, jazz, rock, classical, Old School. I would have thought it would be suited for one of those genre but it didn't. This version of Bose has the quality of sound I want, they're lighter and more natural feeling than the Beats buds. Quality feel also. Highly recommend them to anyone who likes music and not just a beat.

I love good sound, and I want strong bass tones and no tinny top notes. These deliver. My husband couldn't understand how a little wired headset could be better than a cheaper version until I made him try them. He now wears these, as well. They are that much better. I've read several comments that actually downgrade their rating because these don't cancel the outside noise, but they are obviously not paying attention - this headset is not supposed to cancel outside noises. They are NOT NOISE CANCELLING. If that's what you want, get a different headset. These are made so you can hear what's going on around you while you talk or listen to music or a book or whatever. I can wear these all day long, sit at my desk and work, answer my phone, hear office noises, listen to an audible book, and I can also drive and hear traffic and sirens, carry on a conversation, whatever. I think it's very dangerous to drive or jog without being able to hear traffic, and these fill all my needs. They are totally comfortable to the point you forget you have them on, and I can even sleep in them without my ear getting sore because I laid on the earbud. I can't recommend these highly enough.

These headphones are great, and the ear tips really make these awesome. They're Bose, so the sound quality is amazing. Every bit of an 8/10 compared to all headphones, and a 10/10 compared to other ear bud style phones. The original tips that come with these are VERY comfortable, easy to put in, and they DO NOT MOVE AT ALL EVER. Regardless of sweat amount or activity, they stay put. Beware that these tips are very passive for sound. You can hear what song someone is listening to if they have the volume medium-high and you are in a quiet setting (car, office, etc). This was done on purpose by Bose for safety. I can hear people if they try to talk to me, or if a weight falls in the weight room, or the noise of cars driving by. I HIGHLY recommend buying a second set of tips https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D42A3SA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These tips are the ones that come on the non-sport buds. They have the noise-cancelling cone that helps seal off the outside world and keeps your music to yourself in a quiet setting. These also enhance the sound quality by not letting the bass escape (seriously, it REALLY BOOSTS the bass). With these tips installed, the sound quality goes up to a 9/10 compared to all types of headphones. They're amazing.

The Bose SoundSport headphones are great for what they are intended for. These earbuds have a very "open" design, allowing sounds around you to be heard. This is useful when running or exercising, as music does not completely drown out outside noises that you might want to hear, especially for safety. Bose sells the SoundTrue Earbuds if you are looking for a noise-isolating headphone to keep out outside sounds with the same earbud design. I enjoy these earbuds for their comfort and ease of use. The flexible gel tips stay in your ear well and you hardly notice that these are in your ears one you put them on. Additionally, the mic and controls work well and the buttons are easy to locate by feel. When working out or running, the earbuds stay in place very well and don't fall out or move around. The sound quality on these is great. Other reviewers are right about the bass - it isn't very strong or pounding using the included tips, but this is to be expected. Bass cannot be stronger without eartips that seal off outside noise. Because of this, the bass is as good as possible for this design of an earbud. It is still present, just not pounding. Mids and highs are very clear. These earbuds lose one star for durability. As others have noted, the areas where the cords meet the earbuds and the 3.5mm jack, as well as where the left and right earbud join, are not strong connections. Bose should have added reinforcement to these connections considering that they are aimed at "sport" use. I haven't used mine enough to notice wear and tear, but it is a cause for concern. Overall, I purchased these as a replacement and upgrade for Apple EarPods, as I wanted earbuds that allow me to hear outside noises and stay in my ear while exercising, all while offering better sound quality. For this, they are great. If you are looking for earbuds simply for sound, I recommend the Shure SE-215s instead, as they are an absolute steal for price and sound quality. If you buy these for the reasons I've listed, you won't be disappointed.

The delivery was done through secure locker mechanism that I encountered for the first time. I hope that prevents fraudulent deliveries for high price items. I am using the headphones for more than a week now and can say their sound quality is good. Considering the size and weight of the headphones, they produce surprisingly good bass. The frequency range also seems to be pretty good. My only concern is the wire used on these headphones. It seems delicate and I am sure I will probably be destroying the same within the next 6 months. Lets see.

Disfruto mucho del sonido y reconozco que los chicos de Bose han hecho un buen trabajo. La calidad del material, normalita, sin lujos, pero cumple con su cometido. La opción en color verde, tiene una estética atrevida y original no apta para tímidos. El sistema de sujeción perfecta, no se descoloca, ni se cae ni aun con pequeños enganchones. Es muy importante seleccionar correctamente el tamaño de la silicona que se ajusta a la oreja (3 tamaños incluidos), pues condiciona bastante la calidad del sonido. El sonido está muy equilibrado, no estan sobredimensionados los bajos como pasa con algunos auriculares. Simplemente se oyen muy bien, sin sorpresas. Si es verdad que no destacan en la cancelación del ruido exterior, pues la silicona no actua de tapón intra-auditivo como tienen algunos auriculares. Para contrarestar el ruido acabo subiendo el volumen por encima de lo deseado. Personalmente hecho de menos un mayor aislamiento, sobre todo porque estoy acostumbrado a los auriculares con cancelación de ruido, que utilizo diariamente. Me gusta especialmente que sea un auricular clásico, que no depende del estado de una batería para su uso, como ocurre con los bluetooth. Ayuda mucho a la comodidad, que el cable tenga una pequeña pinza para sujetarlo a la ropa, facilitando el guiado de este y eliminando los enganchones al girar la cabeza. Muy comodo también el botón para gestionar el volumen, pausa y proxima canción. Tambien se puede activar el asistente (Siri) con el micrófono integrado, facilitandote muchas tareas sin tener que sacar el movil del bolsillo.

You will know music ones you use Bose. Superb sound quality. Convenient pouch to keep them safely and avoid wires getting entangled.

Good sound output

Amazon delivery was nice and fast. Bought it at a sweet price of 5.5k. The box contained earphone, pouch, extra 2 sets of buds. Ok, so this headphone is really good. The clarity is outstanding, you can hear even the faintest of sounds. Zero noise. Lives up to the brand name. The sound isolation is a tad low, and you can hear outside noise if you're in a crowded street with lots of horns and stuff, but the good thing is, you can still hear the music, even with large noise around you. The buds are very comfortable and fits nicely into the earhole. Hours of listening and no irritation. And the look is awesome too. Get it definitely if you want a nice affordable earphone by Bose.
