Disappointing

Compared to the two pairs of the Soundsport model that I have, I had a few issues with these. 1) comfort- I found my ears were tender after wearing them for a short amount of time. I tried all three sizes of the in-ear pieces, and simply couldn't find one that helped. I wear the 2's on the Soundsport. 2) don't know if I wound up with a lemon set or not, but I used these for a yoga workout, and I kept getting a crackling/connection issue sound like there was interference. Never had that problem with the Soundsport, and working out in the same space in my basement. 3) the controls were not intuitive at all. Volume control was apparent added in a software update in December, but out of the box, I had no idea how to change volume on the earbuds themselves. I had a heck of a time getting the Bose Music app to connect to these as well. And pairing new devices seems to only be an option from the app. Overall- I have the AE2 over the ear model, and two pair of the Soundsport, and this is the only disappointing Bose purchase I've made, especially when I thought I was going to be upgrading my Bluetooth experience. Crutchfield is accepting the return, and I am grateful for that, but I really had much higher hopes from these.

great expectations

I've tried a couple of other name brands and had to discontinue using them for lack of comfort, the Bose are by far the most comfortable I've tried and the sound quality is of corse what you truly expect from Bose great product !

Randomly the volume will be where you can't hear people on calls regardless of the phone volume level. Contacting Bose to se did it's a setting issue.

I'm 71 years old and walk every morning for an hour, these are perfect for me. The sound is great and the fit is great, as usual it's Bose quality, and working with Crutchfield is outstanding.

I am a casual runner, always had problems to find headphones that, (1) Do not fall out.. (2) Be comfortable. (3) Sound good. Bose has never let me down, these new SPORT are lighter and comfortable than the old model. Perfect for my long runs.

Great sound and Comfort, lame controls and features.

I was a huge fan of the Soundsport model until the battery started failing after a year. Now, the sport earbuds are finally out and they sound fantastic. What's even better is how incredibly lighter they are from the previous model and they stay comfortably still. I did my test with a trail run and a set of burpees, and they stayed on perfectly. Excellent! Unfortunately the great sound quality and comfort is almost outweighed by lame controls and features. I'm not sure what bose was thinking of keeping the battery life at only 5 hours (since many competitors now are getting it above 7 hours), but it is a let down. The IPX rating is still the same; no improvement. The frustrating thing now is how lame the controls are. Basically it's nothing more than double tap right for pause and play (and answer calls) and double tap left for track forward (or you can customize it to announce the battery life which is pretty stupid). You can also press and hold the right to activate personal assistant. There is no backtrack feature and you are unable to customize any other controls. Hopefully Bose fixes this in a near firmware update. Overall these earbuds are excellent for sport and running but I just wish that Bose would have gone all out.
