    Ear buds are good but occasionally lose signal on the left ear bud. I have to turn buds off then back on in order for the left bud to work again.

    I'm a big fan of Bose products but these headphones are below standard. The lack of noise cancelation is truly a problem.

    When these work they are great. Had them for a year & one month & the left side stopped working. I suggest buying the two year warranty!

    Had high hopes for this product but instead was met with another garbage Bose product trying to keep up with the times and not ready for release. These headphones actually look dumb hanging outside the ear almost like a growth and never stay connected and actually are too pricey for the amount of sound they actually put out. Save your cash and buy other products that actually work.

    The audio level is not as deserved. I have to raise my volume all way maximum to listen my music. They should work on it and minimize its size too.

    Great earphones. But only down fall is that you need both to function. You can’t have one on and have the other one charging like the AirPods.

      Hello, xadrizzy. Thank you for sharing your review of the SoundSport Free wireless headphones. It is good to hear that you enjoy them. You are correct, to get stereo audio both headphones are needed as the Bluetooth signal is first processed by the right earbud which is then streamed to the left. However, if you prefer to use a single earbud, you can use just the primary (right) earbud alone. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Have a great day! Best Regards, Greg - Bose Support bose

    Solid quality but still suffering from lag issues

    Very well built and excellent audio quality. Unfortunately, it still has lag issues on the YouTube app. Works well with Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Definitely worth purchasing if you don’t watch YouTube. If you do then the audio sync lag is bad even after software update. Since I am a huge YouTube content user, this is a 2 star for me. If lag issues are fixed then I might reconsider again in the future. Till then my trusted airpods are always by my side.

      Hello, Gofishpro.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your SoundSport Free wireless headphones. We're glad to hear that you have enjoyed previous models of our wired headphones, however, it concerns us to learn about the difficulty you've experienced with this product.

      With the unique design of the SoundSport Free, the signal flow from your headphones will go from your connected device to the right earbud, where the signal is processed and then streamed to the left earbud. Due to this, we recommend keeping your device on the right side of your body when possible. Please also try clearing your Bluetooth pairing list with the steps here: https://bose.life/2AgwDBb.

      If the issue persists, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at 1-800-367-4008 for further assistance. They are available M-F 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern. Thank you, and have a great day! Jesse - Bose Support Bose

    It is standard for the earbuds to sound out of one earbud for phone calls, but the left routinely doesn't pick back up after the call.

    Excellence As Always

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Let me start off by saying, I did not receive these for free. I have owned a pair of QC35's for a little more than a year, which I use daily. I saw that these had dropped $50 so purchased them for $199. I had my eye on them for some time. I prefer over the ear headphones, and I have never liked how any of the in-ear buds fit. After reading reviews of how comfortable they are, I decided to give them a try, because, there are some times when discreet headphone use is better. I am an apple user and have never liked or used their headphones, so this is why I chose the Soundsport Free over the Air Pods. As for pros, as usual the sound quality is superior. They are also comfortable to wear, even though I have only worn them for a few hours at a time. I have never used them until they died. I also like the idea of the charging case. They are also discreet, which is good for work environments, dr offices, or places where you just don't want anyone to know you're listening to your device. I was in a seminar that I had to attend but for about an hour of it, I had one in my ear listening to a documentary. Not a lot of cons but, there is always room for improvement. There is like a 1 second delay when watching video but it is not a deal breaker for me. Another would be, phone calls only play thru the right bud... which is strange to me, because I am used to using the QC35's for calls which play in both ears. I have been taking the left bud out when I use the phone. I am not usually a bud user so, I don't know if this is common. Third, they are pricey... as all Bose products are. The $199 sale made the purchase easier for me. I had 2 weeks to return them, but they are keepers. They are now a part of my daily essentials.
