    Big Bose fan but i can't say the same for this one. Sound quality is still great but not as comfortable as their other products.

    I’ve looked all over for “truly wireless” earbuds for my husband to use at the gym. I checked reviews across several sites, and these were highly rated and Best Buy was the best price I found. I sure hope he loves them! They look super awesome and now I want some too!

    I love these ear buds!! They work great and are easy to use. You have to download the app on your phone and it connects fast with it. The only down side is it sticks out a little far from your ear but it is no problem for me!!!

    Apparently I have tiny ears. The small fitting is too small and fatigued my ears after a few hours of wear. But the medium sizes fin was too large for my ears.

    These headphones are great in theory, but fail to stay connected and require them being returned to the case to reset. This is quite inconvenient when running.

To minimize potential interference, and help prevent loss of connection, we recommend keeping your source line of sight to the right earbud which receives the signal before passing it to the left side.

    I was excited to try this product and even passed up Apple air pods, and a new pair of Beats to buy these Bose headphones. Nothing but trouble with this product. Trouble with the connection, hearing others, others hearing me, having to constantly re-connect them, and the list can go on. Obviously I returned these headphone and bought Apple air pods.

    They had good sound but lacked the technological options compared to others. Also unable to be very active while wearing they would slip and fall out.

    Audio is great but not the best..battery last about 3-4 hours. case has additional capacity to fully charge the earphone twice. So in total you'll have about 10-12 hours of charge. Only right side works when making phone calls (i am very very sad about that part). I should have rather bought apple airpod. Definitely not worth $199. I will happily trade this with apple airpod since my main use of this product is to make phone calls. Won't recommend if you want to use this to make phone calls. if you mostly want for movies and music, i'd say go for it..

    I upgraded from Bose soundport wireless but returned a few days later because I was so used to buds hanging around my neck that I wound unknowingly remove from my ear and basically let it fall to the ground. (Dummy). They don’t sound as good as the soundsport wireless and I experienced the same left ear bud slippage as soundsport wireless buds. I eventually purchased beats pro wireless and never looked back. Honestly I own several other Bose products and I really wanted these to fit my lifestyle but unfortunately the beats got them on this one

    These buds work pretty good. They're pretty expensive especially for the fact that if you're on a phone call, left bud apparently doesn't work. But it does work for music/books.

    These earbuds are very heavy, and video sound is extremely delayed. The saving grace is the sound quality, but they become uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

    They sound GREAT but only the right side has a mic to talk in. Also, you can’t use the left to listen to music without the right one in your ear also.

      Hi! Thank you for your review,

      The right ear bud is the master headphone and the left will receive the audio signal from the master headphone, which is why you need the right earbud in if you want to listen to music in the left earbud. bose

    I was excited to try these new earphones, but after trying to use one side at a time, realized that the right side needs to be used along with the left side.

      Hello bella. Thank you for reviewing the SoundSport Free wireless headphones. You are correct, the only earbud that can be used singly is the right. That's because the right earbud receives the signal from the source and passes it via Bluetooth to the left. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Have a great day!
