    I did not have enough time with it. Biggest take away is, in all ear sizes, too heavy and falls.

    These Bose wireless headphones are really nice. The convenience of wireless headphones with the amazing Bose sound you would expect. Calls are clear and they are very easy to use. The charging holder is sleek. While these are a little bigger that some of the other well known wireless earbud, they are very lightweight, sit nicely in place, and don’t fall out. I was worried about the size, but once I put them in, it became clear that Bose cracked the code on that one. I highly recommend these if you want great sound while working out, walking, working around the house, etc.

    I wish I could give these a 5 star rating. It’s juat that I returned my SoundSport Wireless in order to get these truly wireless ones. I have had these SoundSport Free buds for about 4 days now. Pros: super duper good sound quality. 80% better sounds than the Dre. Beats earbuds!. You can watch videos with these, audio visual syncing has been fixed. Cons: Connecticity. It’s sad to feel like taking these for a spin is a risk. I tried running with my woolen hat over my ears and the connection between the 2 buds went in and out. I took my hat off in cold morning air it went back to more stable. But more stable meant turning my head to one side would cut the connection for a second. It felt like running with eggs on your head and trying to maintain a delicate balance. I would like to return these but I’m torn. What other options sound as good as these guys? Sadly I would not yet recommend these to a friend. Aaaaaaah, they sound so good though! I can’t wait for generation 2, and am considering returning these and waiting it out. Aaaaaaaaaah!

    Excellent Headphones

    I received my Bose SoundSport Free headphones about 4 weeks ago. I have enjoyed using them while working out, walking to class and studying. I mainly wanted the headphones for working out purposes because I always find the wire of other headphones is in my way or gets tangled in my hair. For working out, I was worried about them falling out of my ear and losing them since there is no wire. I was able to switch the ear piece to a smaller size that came with my headphones so they fit perfectly in my ear. I have not had any trouble with the headphones falling out of my ear. The sound is incredible and the headphones block out the sounds around you which is great while I am studying. Also, the case the headphones come in is very compact and great for charging the headphones on the go. I never worry that they will be dead. The design of the headphones is very sleek, a lot of times people do not realize I even have them in. My favorite feature is the App that comes in with the headphones. You are able to track your ear buds if you were to ever lose them which is a great since there is no wire to the headphones. I would most definitely recommend these headphones to anyone that is looking for wireless headphones!!
