Excellent Audio Quality and Comfort
I love to listen to music while jogging and working out. I've always used wired earbuds where the wire would get in the way or the earpiece would not stay put from the sweat. Needless to say I was eager to ditch the wires, and I could not wait to see what the Bose Soundsport Pulse Wireless headphones had to offer. The headphones come packaged very nicely with an outer cover that slides off to reveal a hard black protective box with the headphones inside. In addition to the wireless headphones, the other contents include a usb charging cable, a zippered pouch to store the headphones, a total of three sizes of ear tips (the medium size tips are attached to the headphones, while the large and small tips come in its own plastic packaging), and supporting documents (warranty information, safety instructions, user manual). With three different sizes of ear tips you will hopefully find the one that fits. The headphones are secured to the ear with the combined action of the wing tip that attach to the ridge in the ear and the oval shaped part that is inserted into the outer ear canal. The material of the earpiece is silicone. I was surprised at how comfortable and light the headphones felt, almost forgetting that I was still wearing them after several hours of having them on. Bose is known for comfort and these definitely do not disappoint. Upon putting on the headphones you will notice how much of the environment you still hear through the earpiece. The earpiece fits snugly in your ear, but without forming a really tight seal. These headphones are not designed to isolate ambient/background noise, only slightly muffling your surroundings. However, this is an advantage not a disadvantage as someone who exercises outdoors will tell you. While exercising outdoors you will want to be able to hear your surroundings especially being able to hear vehicles when crossing streets or if someone engages you in conversation. If you are interested in active noise canceling wireless earbuds, Bose has the QuietControl 30 earbuds. The headphones have an inline remote with microphone and buttons for playing/pausing/skipping tracks and adjusting volume. The buttons are stiff, so you will have to press with a bit of force to get the button to respond. The mic works well. People on the other line heard my voice clearly. The audio quality of the Soundsport Pulse wireless headphone is impressive for a bluetooth headphone, given the inherent data compression and sound quality losses of bluetooth compared to a wired set of headphones. There is a good balance of high, mid, and low frequencies. Bass is powerful and tight without being overpowering. Overall sound quality is crisp. I'm sure there is some quality loss, but I was unable to discern any appreciable loss in sound quality compared to a wired set. The lithium ion battery lasted me a little over 5 hours of listening pleasure. This is right in line with the spec of 5 hours per charge. The remaining battery life is indicated by a computerized female voice upon powering up the headphones, or alternately by a battery meter in the Bose Connect app, which can be downloaded for free from the app store. Now to get to the 'Pulse' part of the headphone. These headphones are distinguished from the Bose Soundsport Wireless headphones by the 'Pulse' in their title. There is a heart rate sensor that is embedded in the left earpiece. It works with many fitness apps, but I tried it with the Bose Connect app. Your heart rate is conveniently displayed on your smartphone or tablet and you can monitor it during or after your workouts. It a nice feature to have for your workouts. With respect to wirelessly pairing the headphones via bluetooth or NFC, I found no issues when pairing to my android tablets and smartphones. The headphones paired seamlessly with no drops in connections. You will hear a computerized female voice when pairing and connecting the headphones with your host devices. With the Bose Connect app, the voice can also be programmed to one of several different languages. Okay, so how did these headphones actually do in practice during my jogging and workout routines? They work very well. Through sweaty jogging sessions and workout routines, they stayed securely on my ears. I was able to listen to my music, while being able to hear my surroundings. The headphones are comfortable; I did not have to make much adjustment when exercising. And best of all, the audio quality is superb and the fact that it is wireless, made the workouts that more enjoyable. In summary, the Bose Soundsport Pulse wireless headphones set a very high bar in terms of audio quality and comfort. They are priced at the higher end of the market, but for those willing to accept no compromises in audio quality and comfort, and desire a set of wireless headphones that can deliver through demanding workouts, these headphones should be at the top of your list or already in your shopping cart!

A Must Have!
I recently received these earbuds for review and I have to say -- these are my new favorite portable bluetooth earbuds. They are BY FAR, the most comfortable bluetooth earbuds my ear canals have had the pleasure of experiencing. I thought long and hard on whether to give this product 4 or 5 stars and ultimately, I had to give credit where credit is due and gave it 5 stars. I will touch on why I contemplated docking a star at the end of this review. Sound: Flat and mostly neutral with tight, crisp bass. I was floored with the level of vocal clarity on these buds. The instruments also sounded very crisp. Due to these earbuds sounding neutral and utterly clean, I feel they are best paired with dance, pop, hip/hop, progressive, and classical type music genres. Rock still sounded great but the aforementioned genres is where these buds really shine. The bass was also impressive to me because it was not overwhelming and did not sound muddy. Nor did it overpower the vocals or instruments. These have quickly become my new daily driver and I haven't picked up my other leading competitor headsets since I got these. Comfort: As previously mentioned, the silicone included ear tips are simply second to none. They are the most comfortable headsets I've ever used. I used these at work for several 6 hour sessions and not once did they bother me. I also liked that it never felt like they got sweaty or heavy which is something common when wearing earbuds for long periods of time. I also like the included clip on the back part of the wire which allows you to effortlessly clip them to your collar. This kept them secure and allowed me to let them dangle over my collarbone (when not listening to music) without having to worry that they would fall at some point. Functionality: The heart rate sensor was a nice touch. You have to use the "Bose Connect" app to see your heart rate bpm. This is a great addition considering these are "sport" headphones and will likely be used in a gym. The built-in pause/play & track buttons work great, however, there is a little side to side play when you press down on the forward/reverse track buttons. Would have been nice to have more rigid buttons but it's a minor gripe. One of my favorite features is how fast the earphones turn on and off. You simply hold down the power button for about half a second. With other competitor bluetooth earbuds I've tried, I have to hold down the power button for about 3-4 seconds to turn it on/off which can get a little annoying over time. Construction & Design: The earbuds are made of a premium plastic and feel sturdy enough to take a beating. They don't exactly exude top notch grade materials, but they feel like quality earbuds. However, here is where I almost docked a star for this product. The earbuds are rather....large. At least compared to other competitor sport headphones. Due to it's bulky form factor, it's somewhat lacking in the aesthetics department. With all that said, they surprisingly stayed on during several workouts involving high intensity cardio. Surprisingly, albeit it's bulky construction, they are incredibly light and never fell out. If larger earbud housings is the small price I have to pay for the type of sound that these headphones deliver, I have no problem with that. Battery: Battery is good overall. What you'd expect from Bose. Nothing ground-breaking, but it easily lasted several 6 hour sessions at work. One thing I did love is how fast it charged. Plugged in for about 15 mins and it went from a "very low" battery to 60%. Accessories: Came with an awesome black and red Bose carrying case with an easy to open zipper.The headset came with three different silicone earbud sizes; small, medium, and large. Also comes with a standard USB cable to charge the headset. Overall, I don't think other current competitor headsets hold a candle to this one; at least in terms of sound. And yes, I have the other two major competitor "sport" bluetooth earbuds. If you're looking for some of the best sounding bluetooth buds on the market that you can use for your workouts, or even stationary listening for that matter, I would check these out. Don't forget that these also have a heart rate sensor which I think adds even more value if you're using them at the gym or other workouts.

SoundSport Pulse
Purchase these because I'm a gym rat and I sweat a lot. I've had them for three weeks and I've had no issues. Sweat resistence is an A+. Great sound, Bass, Mids and Hi are also a A+
