    Needed to replace my old broken earbuds and Bose was having a great discount on their limegreen colored ones. Easier to find and no one will take it, due to the color. I can always rely on Bose for great sound!

    I like these earbuds, but I like another better. These are perfect for your young ma (teen). Our expectations as adults are much higher I think. I would say yes again if they are such a great price again. Our purchase for family boys and I am a hit!

    The sound and other product quality is good except the cords, they have cracks that expose the cable inside even though it has not yet been 3 months since I bought them.

    I mean really. Since when did you go to the headphone aisle and see most things in the $70 and up range? Compared to other $100 headphones, these rock! They are comfortable and stay in your ear. Sound quality is great. Are they V-Modas? No. But those cost 3x the price more! Perfect for wearing while being active. And they are pretty durable. Bose makes their product on the quieter side, so you do have to turn these up a little more than other products. This is my 3rd set and I'll continue to buy more... but hopefully I won't have to do that. I still have my first set. It's a much older model (the first or second generation with the white and black cord) and I use that on the regular. The second set was purchased due to the functionality of the inline microphone and ability to change music on the cord. Too bad I dropped one of the earbuds in a glass of water and it shorted out. Thus the need of a replacement. My only knock on these wonderful earbuds is the cord length. Bose shortened the cord from the first couple of generations without the mic to this generation of Soundsport. The length of the first gen was a bit too long. Now they are a tiny bit too short to run from my waist to my ears and have enough slack...

    Love 'em--worth the price

    These headphones sound fantastic. Once you hear these, you'll wonder why you ever put up with the tinny sound of cheaper earbuds. The ones that Apple gives you for free with your iPhone are especially horrible. These bring a surprising amount of bass, crisp highs, and an overall sonic clarity to your music that make them worth the somewhat steep price. They also come with a nice case and interchangeable ear pads so you can customize your fit for your ear size. Yes, they're a bit pricey...but if you want great sound with your portable music, you want these. Even an "average sounding" pair from JVC, SONY, etc will set you back $49 or more. I recommend you pay more and go for the high-end audio quality that Bose is famous for. In addition, Bose really stands behind their products. When one of the volume control buttons fell off, they gave me a free replacement set of earbuds no questions asked. And, even after you've owned them past the 1-year warranty period, if they break for any reason you can buy a new pair (at a Bose store, at least) at a reduced price just by turning in your broken ones. This pair I bought from Best Buy was actually a gift for my brother-in-law, but I've bought 4 sets of these or similar models over the last 6-7 years and I keep going back for more. (Don't worry--they're well made. I use them nearly every day and wear them out more than most people would.)

    Best workout headphones in price range

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

    I'm picky when it comes to audio gear. Bose doesn't really fit in to my normal range of acceptable audio equipment. I'm the kind of guy who listens to tube amps, lossless flac files, and vinyl. But when it comes to workout headphones I know anything that fits my normal expectations either doesn't exist or costs ten times more than I would be willing to pay. Grado and Sennheiser are more my style, but the open backed Grados fall off during workouts, and the on ear Sennheisers are too hot to work out in. I altered my normal expectations and realized I needed something that would stay in my ears through intense cardio without stretching out my sensitive ears. The Bose soundsport turned out to be one of the few headphones in my price range that fit these requirements of comfortable in ear headphones, while also containing controls to adjust my music during my time in the gym. Unlike the ridiculous Beats headphones that this model competes with there's no unecessary bass boosting. To my tastes the soundsport stays relatively true to the original sounds of my music without adding anything unecessary. For the price and performance I largely can't complain. I'm not a fan of Bose, Beats, and the rest of the overpriced plastic headphones with midrange components. In general there are better brands for the money when it comes to audiophile sound quality. But I guarantee you will not find a better pair of comfortable workout earbuds.

    Extremely Comfortable!

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

    Let me start by saying that I am an beginner audiophile... So my expectations are high. I focus my earphones, headphones, speakers, audio to be of the highest Caliber. I've never been a fan of Bose products except for their home theater systems. I picked these up because I wanted something to take on the fly and still have decent audio. I was most surprised by the fact that I can wear these for hours on end.. they are that comfortable! They sound good, and I mean that. Sound preference is subjective but hey give them a try.

    They fit perfectly in my ear using the size small ear piece. They actually feel secure without digging into my ear, i have to say the comfort level is superior to most headphones. Of course this would be worthless if they didn’t produce quality sound- which they do. You can expect your money’s worth in the quality. And you will probably get better quality than most brands at this price point. I use them for music and i’m a bass junkie. These do the trick without overly saturating bass tones and nothing is muddy. Highly reccomend if you are looking to spend the money. Also i reccomend buying the 2 year warranty that they offer unless you are meticulous about taking care of your stuff. You never know what is going to happen- i’ve left plenty of headphones in pockets going thru the wash, worn out the wires ... you name it. They’ll cover you which is always a nice back up plan.

    Best wired in-ear headphones

    I have wireless earbuds...but for long listening periods I like wired so I don't have to worry about battery charge. Nothing beats the sound and comfort of these Bose SoundSports. They have great clear soft plastic ear holders, so the buds don't have to be crammed in tight for them to stay put. This really reduces ear fatigue. But the sounds is still incredible. Bose is Bose after all. Very solid construction. Mine are two years old and they are like new, even after almost daily use. GREAT buy.

    First off, let me tell you that I’m one of the people that are cursed with a particular ear shape and almost every type of ear buds you can imagine would fall out of my ears and they would hurt my inner ear terribly. I had all but given up on ear buds entirely. Until I saw these and thought, I’ll give it one last try, it’s Bose so maybe it’s a winner this time. BEST DECISION IVE MADE ALL YEAR! These things are AMAZING!!! I work in construction so believe me when I tell you that I’ve put them to the test. I sweat most of the day and it’s moderately loud where I work, and they’ve NEVER FALLEN OUT! Or gave me any inner ear pain whatsoever. The silicon is very comfortable and durable, and the hooks really help to keep them locked into place. If anyone says they don’t stay in well, let me tell you they just didn’t know how to put them in correctly. These restored my hope in ear buds and I give them a 5 star review without hesitation.
