Bose SoundSport Wireless review: The best overall in-ear Bluetooth sports headphone to date

Bose finally has a Bluetooth sports headphone -- it's great and it isn't crazy expensive.

The SoundSoundSport Wireless is a very comfortable in-ear wireless Bluetooth sports headphone that's sweat-resistant and sounds great. The earphones fit securely in your ears thanks to winged tips. The headphone works decently as a headset for making...

The ear pieces protrude noticeably from your ears (they're a little bulky but don't feel heavy); battery life tops out at 6 hours.

The Bose SoundSport Wireless is the most comfortable, best overall in-ear Bluetooth sports headphone you can buy right now.

Bose SoundSport Wireless

With the SoundSport Wireless, Bose delivers the thunderous bass and the comfortable design you want in gym-focused earphones, but they're not cheap.

Powerful audio performance with intense bass response and crisp highs. Secure-fitting, comfortable eartips. Moisture-resistant design.

Slightly expensive for what you get.

Conclusions The boosted bass and crisp treble sound signature Bose delivers is certain to appeal to many who rely on audio to push them during intense workouts. We are also fans of the similarly priced Jabra Sport Coach , the less expensive Skullcandy...

Well balanced and versatile sound profile. Comfortable and stable fit. Lightweight, wireless design.

Flaws in build quality. Semi-open design results in poor noise isolation.

The Bose SoundSport Wireless are good for neutral sound listening. They have a good amount of bass that doesn't overpower the instruments and vocals in the mid and treble range. They also have a semi-open fit which gives them a slightly better...

Bose Soundsport Review: The Wireless Buds to Get

Get the Bose Soundsports if you're looking for wireless earbuds that are easy to use and deliver strong performance. They're a bit bulky, but overall these buds are great for working out or just hanging out.

Maintained a strong connection ; Good in-line controls ; Works with Siri and Google Now

Bulky ; App doesn't add much value

, making this Bose product competitive in more ways than one.

Bose SoundSport Wireless Bluetooth Headphones review: These durable earbuds are an athlete's friend

There's plenty to like about these reasonably priced Bluetooth earphones.

Balanced sound with a little extra bass ; Tile tracking capabilities ; Comfortable to wear ; Provide excellent situational awareness

A little heavy ; Chunky earpods that are less than stylish ; So-so battery life

Bose SoundSport Wireless review: Bluetooth earphones for sports enthusiasts and commuters

Great sound quality and fit, but a few niggles and a high price mean they're not our favourite sports headphones

Great sound quality ; Snug, secure fit

Remote box drags cable around your neck to the right ; Expensive ; Short battery life

Overall, the Bose SoundSport Wireless are a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, they fit securely and sound great; on the other, the cable slips to the side when you’re walking or running and battery life is disappointing.
