Reviews around fit (3.89 of 5)

  • While the fit of these headphones is great, as is the sound quality and microphone, I'm dismayed about battery life and the bluetooth.
  • The headphones fit well into the ear, the sound quality is great, and the battery life is more than decent (although here I don't have anything to compare with)
  • They sound quality seemed decent, but it’s hard to look past a bad fit.
  • While they are attractive and comfortable to wear with a nice fit, the sound quality for the costs is not terribly great.
  • Weird fit in the ear (takes lots of fiddling to insert correctly

Reviews around control (3.86 of 5)

  • Super comfortable in the ear, controls are intuitive, not to big or heavy
  • and I can’t skip songs or change the volume with them anymore from how bad the controls are.
  • Super comfortable in the ear, controls are intuitive, not to big or heavy
  • The Bose Soundsport Wireless Headphones give you great control over your music without needing your phone or primary music listening device

Reviews around music (3.81 of 5)

  • and it was a pain to get in and the music for some reason sounded BAD..sounded like a pair of cheaper earbuds
  • Battery life could be improved but I tend to listen to music quite loud which likely drains power quicker.
  • The cons the volume at max is too quite the noises from the street interrupt the music
  • If you like music louder than I do, you are out of luck
  • I only go to 75% volume because anything over is way to loud (for all you loud music lovers, it gets real loud)

Reviews around bass (3.67 of 5)

  • Mids and Highs sound clear while the Bass is meaningful without being overpowering
  • Just can't get them far enough into the ear for good bass sound
  • These headphones produce a nice, natural sound without excess bass boom that muddies the music
  • I tried the Jaybirds, I tried the Jabras, and honestly they sounded like I would expect bluetooth headphones would sound: lifeless with anemic bass and uninteresting signature
  • The sound of the Bose SoundSports is amazing with great bass and great highs.

Reviews around product (3.56 of 5)

  • I've always had good luck with Bose which is why I was more than willing to pay a little more for a better quality product
  • I think they are a great product, but I wish the build quality was better.
  • Why should I be penalized when Bose made a defective product?
  • The product was defective, I have no problem with that I own several Bose products and they work well but these earphones did not work well at all, they skipped, a poor blue tooth connector I presume
  • They took a great product and made them much much better

Reviews around thing (3.37 of 5)

  • The only gripe I have - I just wished they would get a bit louder, but that's probably not a bad thing for my ears as I age.
  • Only thing was I broke the clip to attach to your shirt.
  • The good thing is that they dont wrap around the ear like Beats
  • I actually did get myself checked which certainly is not a bad thing and all is well
  • It sounds great and not having to deal with the cord is a good thing

Reviews around battery life (3.01 of 5)

  • The battery life did disappoint me at first as it couldn't last as
  • The last straw was when the battery life became messed up
  • However, over the last few months, the battery life has gotten worse and worse
  • The sound quality is very good and battery life is also nice
  • Only drawback is that the battery life is not so great.

Reviews around start (2.42 of 5)

  • It somehow overcame that and the battery works fine, but the bigger issue is that the material started to expand and all the rubber linings and plastic covers are falling off, including buttons
  • n’t recommend these and that makes me wonder what happened at Bose.
  • n’t slip off my ears like my over-ear sports ones I had before did
  • n’t had any problem at all, they haven’t gotten out of my ears for a single time, one advice though if you don’t use your nails when you push the buttons, they won’t get deformed

Reviews around switch (2.19 of 5)

  • n’t get a static humming at some point while talking on the phone.
  • They have a very good sound, nothing's missing, very comfy switch, you can respond to your calls, change tracks not having to get your phone out
  • n’t had any problem at all, they haven’t gotten out of my ears for a single time, one advice though if you don’t use your nails when you push the buttons, they won’t get deformed
  • The Bose require double and triple clicking a fairly viscous switch for skipping by track, much harder to use and without a way to scroll back a few seconds, only by a single track at a time.
  • n’t recommend these and that makes me wonder what happened at Bose.

  • That is the only complaint I have and, thus, the reason for the 3 star review...

Reviews around issue (2.08 of 5)

  • But this issue is annoying and should be investigated and corrected.
  • The size isn't an issue as far as comfort or security - they are extremely comfortable and have never been close to falling out
  • I also have fairly sensitive ears as in the regular iPhone earbuds make my ears ache after maybe 30-40 minutes of use, I notice no issues whatsoever with the Bose headphones even after hours of use, they’re very comfortable
  • I called Bose about the problem and they were great sent a new pair 😁but not long after,same issue started to fall apart
  • My husband seemed to really like them and thought they were comfortable, but when they dont ever work, that is an issue!!

  • Its so unbearable to the otherperson either they cant hear or get irritated by all the background noise

  • but they let in ALOT of background noise especially when you're at a gym

Reviews around clip (1.77 of 5)

  • For me that clip is very important and prevented me from losing them countless times.
  • Clip fell off within 2 weeks, took them back and they did same thing !
  • After a year, the clip that holds it to my shirt broke, but the rest of the construction has held up great.
  • The small clip to clip to your shirt is small and mines broke

Reviews around problem (1.76 of 5)

  • The soundsport looks good and sounds really nice when it works, but as I used it semi often a very annoying and very glaring problem arose, I had rice krispies in my ears
  • I have to disconnect, re connect often to successfully clear the problem 50% of the time.
  • Only problem is I don’t like the sound quality thats why i bought bose
  • My problem with the several other bluetooth earbuds I tried was that they simply lacked volume and bass
  • I have really small ear canals so that has always been a problem with other buds.....however...the clip on mine broke off about a week after I got

Reviews around people (1.63 of 5)

  • Dont like these headphones, they have great sound for music but for talking on the phone the sound is not good and people can hear the noise from the background.
  • (I don't have to blast my music and can still hear traffic around me), and people can hear me really well when I'm on calls
  • However would not buy for deaf people, they thinkthese are useless.
  • As a side note regarding the water and sweat resistance of these earbuds, a number of people people have asked whether or not they are truly waterproof.
  • Oh, and some people have whined about the sound quality

Reviews around cord (1.54 of 5)

  • I have zero issues with them coming out of my ears, and no risk of hitting a cord going down to my phone that happens too often
  • The materials are all very nice quality; the cord is flexible, there is a cover on the charging port
  • This is likely a personal preference, but I found the joint cord to be a bit annoying
  • They are good but are quite bulky on the ear and the cord is very annoying, especially if you run shirtless like I do and cannot secure it
  • the thick cord tended to snag causing 1 of the ear buds to come loose or fall out.

Reviews around beep (1.00 of 5)

  • For some stupid reason the Bose engineers decided to make these headphones deliver a loud, awful beep whenever you answer a call
  • I hate the idea of returning these because I like everything else about them, but the loud beeps are just too horrible
  • Bose’s whole reason for existence is to make a better listening experience, so it completely befuddles me why they would allow their engineers to do something as stupid as add an awful beeping sound that (1) can’t be turned off, (2) can’t be turned down and (3) isn’t synchronized to the volume of the device
  • That horrible beep!I called Bose support and they said that there is nothing I can do about it and that there are no known plans to change it
  • So, if you’re listening to music in a quiet room at a really low volume and you answer a call, you get this loud, horrendous BEEP
