Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the SoundSport Free True Wireless Headphones for their excellent sound quality, comfortable fit, and long battery life. The charging case is also well-received for its convenience. However, some users have experienced connectivity issues, find the design to be bulky, and feel that the price is not justified by the product's performance.

    I bought these for both making calls and hearing music. Calls were great but the audio quality and volume needed to be high to get decent audio quality and you can hear the music pretty loud when its not in your ear so you won't get the privacy you would like. battery lasts only 3-4hrs. I travel alot and 4hrs dont cut it. I get better battery life and audio with the Bose Noise Cancelling Earpiece headphones.

      Hi there, Japsican!

      Thank you kindly for taking the time to share your experience with the SoundSport Free wireless headphones. We are sorry to hear that it did not live up to your expectations. You mentioned that the call quality was not so great, have you tried removing and reconnecting the headphones? That can clear up an intermittent connection and improve call quality. Also, the battery should give you up to 6 hours when fully charged before each use.

      Should you need any further assistance, we are always around to help! Feel free to contact our Bose technical support team if you have any questions or need some more troubleshooting tips. Contact information can be found located on the Bose website.

      Thank you again,

      Hello VivLine3,

      Although I am happy to hear that you like the sound quality of your speaker, I am sorry to hear that you are having this issue with the fit of the headphones.

      There are different sized StayHear+ tips inside the box that came with the headphones. I would suggest trying all of the sized to ensure the most comfortable fit.

      If the issue still persists please give your local customer support center a call as they would love to help you.

      Thank you for taking an interest in our products and for providing a review for others.

      All the best,
      Tori Mae – Bose Customer Support bose

    Superior quality! I have had the bose earbuds for over 5 years. The battery life is still good, the sound is amazing and the comfort and fit in my ears is paramount. When outdoors or in the gym I had experienced issues with other brand ear buds falling out or stip working when I sweat. Not the Bose earbuds! This product is the epitome of quality. 5 years in, its like I just bought them!!!

      Hello, Erica.

      We appreciate your feedback regarding the 'Find My Buds' feature. While the earbud will require a small amount of battery life to be detected, the SoundSport Free earbuds will automatically go into standby mode to conserve energy. Our software and hardware teams are always working to improve our products, and we thank you for your suggestion. Have a great day!

    Got a good 10 months of usage out of these, worked great stayed charged for the amount of time stated! Now they only stay charged for 45 minutes, the left headphone drops out it’ll lose connection on its own. Great sounding headphones, but durability is poor.

    These are very poor ear buds. For the cost they are junk. They cut out and sometimes only one works. I have several Bose products and have always bought Bose for the quality. I will be shopping around in the future and not simply assume, because the product is Bose, it is high quality.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your review of the SoundSport Free wireless headphones. We're sorry to hear that the battery life has not met your expectations. Off a single charge, the earbuds should play for up to five hours when music is played a medium volume. And when not in use they can place them in their case to recover. It’ll keep them protected, and provides two additional full charges (or up to 10 hours of battery life) to keep them ready to go again. Also, a quick 15-minute charge will give you 45 minutes of battery. If your husband is not receiving the projected battery life, we encourage you to reach out to our Bose technical support team. We're always happy to help. Thank you for your interest in our Bose products. Warm regards. Ashley - Bose Support bose

    They have good sound but they have a major design flaw. They are to heavy and the hook that goes in your ear is too soft. They constantly fall out just walking. Tried once to wear them working out. Spent more time picking them up than anything else that day. Returned and bought the Powerbeats pro.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your SoundSport Free wireless headphones, Joan. We're sorry to hear that the fit of the earphones didn't meet your expectations. We would recommend trying out all three sizes of StayHear + Sport eartips included in the package to find the best fit for you. The medium size will be attached to the earphones when you first purchase them, and then a small and large set are also included in the box. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, as it helps our engineers improve future products. 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 again, and have a great day. Jesse - Bose Support Bose
