Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
These Bose really don't sound like a deal, at all, considering how much they cost, or, even on sale.
Thanks very much for a thorough review. I was going to buy these thinking that they provide better bass for music. The search continues.
Has anyone here found bone conduction headphones with good bass?
Will Bose Sport Open Earbuds prevent hearing loss in long term like bone conduction earphones please ? will it provide all advantages of bone conduction ?any other alternatives of bose open earbuds ?
So for me wait til they improve this as it sounds like they have a lot of improvements to make in my opinion.
I used the aftershokz Bluez before and loved them.
Not worth it
more to note:
-you cant use the left ear bud and leave the right charging and then switch them out when one of them dies. You can only turn them on with the button on the right earbud and as soon as the right earbud hits the charger, both buds will turn off. very very dumb for 200$
-The fact that the case doesnt charge and that if the wire for the actual charger breaks, you have to buy a whole new replacement, sucks. also you have to make sure the buds are placed on the charger exactly right or they will not charge. there has been plenty of times where the buds have snapped into place with the magnet, but they were not charging.
-when not in use, the buds battery will die out fast. I like keeping them on the charger when not in use. to bad the charger isnt the case!
-the person youre talking to on the phone will be able to hear themselves better than they can hear you. to better this, i usually have the right bud in my ear and hold the left bud as a mic.
-they hurt after wearing them for a while. though they dont fit tight at all, after a while you'll feel like ur ears were being pinched for hours.
-everyone can hear what you're listening to. be mindful.
I bought these because they were the only ones i found on the market that stayed on my ears during vigorous movement and i didnt have to shove into my ears. (those give me headaches). I do not like them but right now they are my only option. if anyone knows any better ones that wont pop off while running or benching or doing pull ups, please let me know.
They have a problem when I running the sensors up and down volume keep moving constantly I canât keep the volume in position
what about wearing these in an office environment – wont everyone else hear what ur listing to and it be a nuisance?
It needs to sound more better than good
Are these comfortable on the ears For using n around the house and going to bed with Them Listen to music And movies
The fact that they went with this design while we are still having to use all kinds of face masks is beyond stupidâŚ
Do they bother others around you?
These are NOT pleasant for those who wear glasses, especially with a mask right now too.
I just got these. After getting the sport earbuds and the qc earbuds. I have been a Bose fan for a long time, and these are not for the people that want a quality call with these. These suck I think, I hate the way they feel in my ear. The audio quality is not Bose par. I donât know, the charging station is cool and all but idk. They could of done something like what Dre beats do with these type
Have you tried sleeping in them?
Why canât they make more âsportâ true wireless earbuds with a transparency mode?
Hated them returned mine
Great review. Though I'm not a big bass person, I do need great phone calls, so I'll pass
I just purchased these and am pleasantly surprised! Sounds very good! We'll see how it goes as time goes on, but initial impression is good!
Up
Do they offer mono mode can i just use the left r just the right
I like LOUD music ..
Do they provide enough volume ?.
I presently have AirPods which are just barely loud enough but are very uncomfortable ..
AirPods could be louder ..
I donât mind the price tag if they have good sound quality and are loud enough ..
Used to have sport head phones like this with around the ear nothing bad there
Too many cons, not enough proâs ! Power Beat Pro much better
No volume control?! Seriouly?
If they are turned up past 50% how much of the sound can others hear?
When she tells you her parents aren't home: 1:55
Garbage for phone calls in the wind . I'm sending back. everyhing else was really good
I just did an update and I can tap right to raise volume, tap left to decrease
I bought these a couple of weeks ago. I love them. I wanted a headset that I could do Zumba while allowing me to hear my family. I also tried wireless earbuds that would always fall off.
That's a no from me, dawg. Bose used to make the most comfortable earbuds on the market. Good things always reach an end.
Sony had a similar design back in the day
can you wear them with normal eye glasses? I saw at 4:38 you were wearing them with glasses yet did they feel good or wear on ears over time? thank you for the video – very informative thus far –
BUYER BEWARE!!! BOSE! DO NOT BUY! I am an owner of âBose SoundSport Free wireless headphones Blueâ They have been and are the ABSOLUTE WORST! Unless you are in a recliner and NEVER MOVE in the recliner they will stay in… BUT! Will loose their Bluetooth signals!! WORTHLESS! BOSE SCAM!
You can use these and Bose sport earbuds at the same time. Surround sound.
the most eye-catching is… the c|net jacket đ
I have return in 2 week it hurt my ear keep falling down the sound is ok the hooks too hard bad design if you forgot turn off after use battery will run off
âTheir charging case doesnât have a built-in battery to charge on the goâ
Me: So you mean… the case.
There is another market, the food industry, the ear clip is essential.
Transparency mode on quiet comfort earbuds is superb!! I recommend try those instead,
BOSE is trying to make fun of people who where spectacles…đ
Glasses: We need ear space!
Mask: We need ear space!
Bose: Listennnnnn
looks like old hearing aids
;-( Pricy for being open and less fearures….
Open audio is a good thing, burglars breaking in can be heard . A safe bet.
great review, interesting concept. I think I may get a later iteration of these.
