Day 1 Thursday 12 DecemberToday the Bose SoundSport Wireless arrived for me to test and review over the next 4 weeks.First impression: The design of the box and packaging is lovely quality, all very beautifully presented. Instantly you know you’re getting a really good product. To be honest, I wouldn't expect anything less from Bose.I have always struggled to find a pair in ear headphones/earbuds that do not fall out of my ears. Every pair I have tried previously have fallen out, so I have always avoided them and bought over ear headphones. When I was selected to test these headphones, I was already sceptical.Upon opening the box and looking inside it, you will find the headphones themselves,a small sip up carry pouch, USB charger and some very user friendly instructions. You are supplied with 3 different sizes of ‘sport tips’. S, M and L, this allows you to find the best/perfect fit. I opted for the size S. Placing the headphones into my ears and wearing them for the first time was very easy. Once you have positioned them in your ears, you give the headphones a slight twist which tucks them neatly and securely into the ridge of your ear. They are extremely comfortable to wear as the sport tips are made of very soft silicon. Choosing size S was the right size for me. A perfect fit.To test the fit, I started headbanging, swinging my head from side to side, jumping around, my husband thought I’d gone mad. The headphones did not budge! I have a couple of piercings in both ears and the tragus piercing has usually got in the way or interfered with wearing in-ear headphones. These weren't affected by the piercing at all. They fitted both my ears perfectly...as though they were made for my ears.I downloaded the Bose app to my mobile and the headphones and my Bluetooth immediately paired. I read the fool proof instructions and turned the headphones on. I was not disappointed. The sound is superb. They are clear and very loud. Turns out my singing is worse when I can’t hear myself. The battery life was around 50% without me needing to charge them before using them for the first time.Day 2 Friday 13 December.I charged the headphones at home to make sure the battery life was up to 100% (which didn’t take very long at all) and I brought the headphones to use at work. I mentioned earlier the headphones come with a portable USB charger and small carrycase/pouch for convenience.Wearing my headphones at work all day made my day fly in, it went extremely quickly. I sit in close proximity to my work colleagues and they could not hear my music or what I was listening to.On the right hand side of the wire that connects the two headphones is a small control panel. This is where you can turn the volume of the music up and down and you can also pause and mute your music meaning when someone talked to me, I didn't need to keep removing the headphones to hear them.My day went extremely quick, I had a couple of reports to write and didn’t want to be disturbed. The headphones were used all day and I have only used 20% of the battery life.Day 3 Saturday 14 DecemberThis morning I went to my regular bootcamp session. Lots of getting down for burpees & press ups, jumping, running, skipping. Loads of exercises. The headphones stayed securely in place the entire time I was wearing them. I didn’t have to adjust them at all. These headphones claim to be sweat resistant and they really are, they are perfect for sportts. They are really bloody good.

Wow. Wow. WOW!The most amazing thing about these is obviously the SOUND. I mean... THE SOUND. The kind of music that plays off these headphones is like someone has finely tuned every part of the sound signature so that it's absolutely faultless, and the sound is just soooooo nice that it feels like every instrument is alive, especially the bass, that is arguably the best at ANY price. I've got the Bose QC35s and Audio Technica ATH-50Xs, and have tried the Sony 1000XM2, Sennheiser, B&O you name it... They just can't beat these Soundsport Wirelesses. They're a banging set of earphones that can make every day an awesome one - I wear mine literally after I wake up, and your mood just CHANGES.Like that. It's incredible. Clarity, treble, just the rhythm and sense of atmosphere and occasion you get with these are among the best things about them. It's more than a set of machinery, it makes you FEEL good. It makes you feel amazing.Other massive Over Ears may be able to sound GOOD, but these are just so portable and convenient to carry everywhere, and that's what I did. You can use them wherever you want.Unfortunately, I lost mine when I crashed my bike, but I will most definitely buy another because these are among the best - even comparing to £2000+ Marshall headphones that I've tried. And I really mean it.After I lost them, you really get to appreciate just how much you depend on them. Going back to wires is one of the most inconvenient things you'll experience: just untangling the long cable, finding a space to put them in your pocket without tangling them again etc etc.. Just the fact of having completely WIRELESS music playing is brilliant. You can just move around, doing normal things without having to worry about where you're phone is etc.. It's PERFECT if you lead an active lifestyle or just likes to listen to music as you do stuff around the house without disturbing anyone etc..It's just so easy to take them out, press the button and BAM you're listening to your favourite tunes that just sound perfect. Battery life and DURABILITY is also really good. I wear these when I go to sleep (I'm a rough sleeper), and still have 60% battery after finishing my whole Spotify Playlist. I toss and tumble a lot when I sleep, so I sometimes even wake up on top of my headphones, and they still work like the day it was opened from the box. I did NOT treat these headphones nicely, tossing them around and accidentally bumping walls with the headphones in my pocket. It's amazing how strong they are, they feel like a quality product that won't break anytime soon.If you're on the fence of making a purchase. I say GO FOR IT. You most definitely will not regret it. Yes, they stick out rather conspicuously, and to be honest, that's the only downside. Although they are also EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE. I was able to wear these hours on end without any discomfort whatsoever, the most comfortable ones I've owned. The QC35s are light and comfortable yes, but after a long time wearing them, especially on Summer days, your ears get a little warm. These never get warm (unless you're an oven inside). But you get used to them, and you barely notice them, they're so much lighter than they look, just like a normal set of earphones. I honestly don't know how I'm gonna live without them. Guess it's time to save up again haha

So I have been using this product for the past week and must say it has lived up to a lot of its hyped qualities as being part of the Bose family. Out of the amazing detailed box which feels like you are opening the crown jewels, its wonderfully easy to use and will detect your phone immediately. I have an iPhone, so also downloaded the Bose app on the store to make connection even simpler. The product came with a fully charged battery, so you can connect it and are ready to go. The earplugs came set to fit my ear perfectly, so didn't even need to use the extra pieces to make them smaller/bigger, so this was great (as if Bose already knew :)) Switching the headphones on couldn't be easier,a simple button on the right ear and it will even tell you how much battery is left, so you know if you can go on a long journey, ride, run, ect... Then the sound, what can I say, it's true Bose quality. I could hear the sounds so clearly and the background noise of a busy city, seemed so far away. It transported me to my music and just focus on me and my journey ahead (in this case it was walking the dog) The bass sounded great when listening to my favorite tunes and even when switching to the radio, the sound was so clear and fresh, as if I was in the studio with the MC's. After adjusting to the slightly heavier earplugs (as the battery and transmitter are in the earplugs) I even forgot they were there and went into a world of my own.. I must have walked the dog for 2 hours, which he loved :) while listening to my music and when I got home, I even still had 60% battery left on the earplugs and best of all, my phone still had a lot of charge, so these plugs are even good for your phone battery by not draining them completely after listening, which I thought they may had done, due to the streaming quality and effort they must have put into streaming such amazing quality. The only negative I would have with these, is making phone calls. As you feel so isolated with a lot of the back ground noise gone, it feels like you have to shout when making a call, as you cant hardly hear yourself speak, this is how good these plugs are at isolating the sound, but the call quality of sound is still amazing. So all in all, I would like to say that these plugs are probably the best I have ever used and I have been buying and testing headphones for the past 25+ years and have bought the usual cheap headphones to the more expensive overhead cans.. But so far, nothing can beat these Bose wireless headphones which aren't even that expensive. So if you buy one headphone this year (or for the next 5 years) I would say, buy these and you will not be disappointed at all, this can be guaranteed.. Bose stands for quality and this shows 100% on all levels.

I've been looking for a pair of bluetooth earphones to use when running and I have to say these are pretty much exactly what I was wanting from a pair. The main issue with the other bluetooth headphones i'd tried were that they never stayed put on a run, i had to constantly re-adjust them or in some cases they just fell out. So i was hoping that these would fair better. First off the packaging looked and felt premium, which I would expect from Bose. The headphones themselves look great and the design of the earplugs is very interesting, but more of that in a minute... NFC equipped phones can use this functionality to pair easily. My iPhone 6 doesn't have NFC (well it does but only for Apple Pay!)

Design and BuildThe Bose Soundsport Wireless Headphones arrived in a well made, appealing foldout box that oozes quality. Connect the USB charging lead and the headphones are charged in little over an hour. When switched on they tell you what percentage of battery is available to you.The ear bud design instantly impresses and first impressions don’t let you down. The ear buds fit securely and are very comfortable in prolonged use, with no annoying sound leakage to disturb others. Bose’s Wireless in-ears have an umbilical cable running between left and right ear pieces. So, despite connecting to your source via Bluetooth, I suppose they aren't truly wireless. That said the cord is not a distraction,

Well, I got these as I wanted something that was wireless but had great comfort and a sensible battery life, I have the Bose noise canceling earbuds and I have been really impressed with them from comfort and quality of the product, I was sure that these wouldn't disappoint.When I got the earphones I must say I was impressed with the packaging, Bose have really put a lot of effort in to all areas, the box has a slip sleeve the has the features and benefits shown.The box then has to flaps that open up and you are presented with the headphones laid out infant of you, the box has some text on the inner flaps and talks about the new Bose Connect app.The first thing you notice is the weight,

I'm upgrading from the senheisser momentum wired in earheadphones as I kept on damaging the cable in the gym and having to get them replaced. ProsFirstly the sound quality is infinitely better than the sennheiser momentum, they were "which" mag product of the year so my expectations were already high. There is deep rich bass and sets ive heard countless times sound brand new, low frequencies and rumbles are brilliant. They are lightweight and fit well in the ear and are really easy to pair with your phone and use. Ive experienced no issue with dropout of music or cutting or skipping. Great for the gym which is why I brought them they make my workouts so much easier and tangle free as I'm

I have always wanted to get my hands on a pair of wireless headphones, with there being so many options out there it is hard to decide what to pick. Luckily I have had the opportunity to get my hands on a pair of these SoundSports and overall they have been a great investment. First of all I will talk about their practicality. For a start, from what I am normally use to, these are the future and I would not go back to 'normal' headphones, weather that be wired in ear, earpods or over the headphones. They are brilliant, not only for what they are intended for, mainly sports, but for everyday routines. I have used these when going to the shops, journeys on the train.

I wanted wireless headphones for running, having looked at a multitude of reviews it was difficult to choose - good and bad aspects with them all. I really wanted to see and try some. I finally settled on these because of the 30 day trial - they're expensive, so I wanted to get it right and not be out of pocket. They are larger than I expected and I was concerned I might notice the weight. I tried the small ear pieces, which were ok, but did slip a little, so I reverted back to the medium size. They felt big in my ear at first, but in truth once I got on my run I didnt notice any discomfort or weight and certainly no movement. Ive stayed with the medium size.

The Bose wireless SoundSport arrived on time and the product was securely packaged. I was very excited when it arrived, on opening the package I noticed how much detail and care was taken on the presentation. Bose wireless SoundSport packaging is strong and sturdy.Looking at the headphones I thought they would be heavy and bulky when using but actually they are light, comfortable and secure even when I used them on my tread mill or while I was just relaxing and listening music. Setting and pairing wireless headphones is very easy just turn activate Bluetooth option on your phone or any pairing device which has Bluetooth technology and just press the Bluetooth button on right side of wireless headphone.

To be perfectly honest I was very apprehensive to use wireless headphones, mainly due to the cost involved in purchasing and then finding out they don't fit my ear, sound good enough or disconnect. I am very pleased to report that these Bose SoundSport wireless headphones are a smashing piece of kit. The packaging is really sleek and you immediately get the feeling of a quality item. It is simple to pair (I have the iPhone version) and you are ready to use them very quickly. Charging is straight forward (thought I haven't got the charging case) and the battery lasts very well.You have the option of 3 sizes of earbuds. With my other Bose wired headphones I have been using a large option but with these,

I've now been using these earphones for the past three weeks in the gym and over the park on my mountain bike. Quality piece of kit that really look the part.Firstly, they sound no different to the original SoundSport earphones with wires. In other words, they're fantastic. In the gym they are an absolute godsend; no more getting wires caught around barbells and pinched between dumbells. What's really amazing about these earphones though is that I have a genuine 30 metre range on them, which is incredible. My iPhone goes in the locker on the gym floor and then I'm free to roam around at will with no loss of sound quality or clarity.The controls on the right hand side are positive,

I have had these for about 7 months. To me, the best feature about these earphones is that they are the perfect compromise between an open and a closed design; closed, in-ear earphones provide an excellent seal in the ear canal which helps provide superior sound quality: think of in-ear monitors like Shure, ACS Custom, Westone, etc. However, they can also be inconvenient to use out and about, because they can isolate too well from outside noises (eg you might not hear oncoming traffic) and because the occlusion effect means every step you take sounds amplified in your head. A totally open design, on the other hand, allows too much background noise in. These Bose are, instead,

I have just bought these headphones and I can say that within 24 hours of taking them for a long walk and run, in the rain and snow, along busy roads, they are by far the best earbuds I've ever used.I can not say these are or will be perfect for everyone, simply because everybody's ears are different. However, if you are looking for something different I would recommend getting a pair.If nothing else, the sound quality is one feature that I am sure most if not all people, will agree is phenomenal for such a tiny bit of kit.As for build quality, I personally can't fault these because they're light and the buds fit my ears comfortably,

I purchased these headphones as a replacement for my faulty Jaybird X3 wireless headphones as I'd lost faith in the other brand.Bose being synonymous with sound quality I thought I'd give them a whirl.I previously thought the Jaybirds sounded good but the soundsport blow them out of the water! The sound is rich and full with a fantastic level of detail and bass.Fitting the headphones was a little strange at first but once you've got the knack and realise they're not fully in-ear style, it's pretty simple and effective.Battery life is good but not amazing. The one time I've ran them to 0 was by accident as it went from 20%-0% very quickly but that was after a solid 5 hours usage without a
