Customer Ratings & Reviews

It took a while to find a product that works consistently. I began year end last year on improving my fitness. I started with just the Apple Watch but I became very frustrated at its inability of getting an accurate HR reading during my workouts. I added a polar H7 to the mix. It worked well for a while but after about 2 months the readings started going haywire. In comes the Bose SS Pulse. It has so far given very accurate measurements. I probably experience a HR drop 1-2 times every other workout, the drops only last 2-3 seconds. The sound quality is amazing. Way better than the Powerbeats that I still have and better than the Beats Solo 3s I tried for about a month. If you're into fitness and need new earbuds, you should give these strong consideration if the ear buds fit you well.

These earphones are amazing. I would recommend to anyone.

Bose headphones are the best in the business. They are so comfortable your music comes across crystal clear that holds the base better than any other set of headphones on the market. I love my Bose

I bought these as a Father's Day gift for my husband. He is very happy with them. There is no outside no interference. The music sound is excellent. A full charge will last him the day during commuting and the gym.

What else can you expect for a Bose headphone aside of quality sound and top dollar for your purchase? The other features associated to them, like a heart monitor and other health measurements....very impressive ...

These ears phones have great sound quality. I've worked out several times with them and they stayed in my ears nice and snug through running, pushups, and even rope climbs.

Amazing quality, sound amazing, connectivity nice.

Awesome connection and great sound. Will recommend

First, I want to clarify that I have never owned a Bose device that I was totally dissatisfied with quality and sound. That is not to say that all are perfect. Second, I never liked ANY in-ear headphone that I tried before, including all the ones from Bose, not because of sound quality but because my ears are way too sensitive and they hurt, itch and feel too much pressure being exerted on them every single time I use this type of headphones. Also, they always fall off too easily. Thus, my expectation about sound quality was high and about comfort in my ears was very low. As to sound quality the Soundsport Pulse is not bad at all. Base is above average and I haven't noticed any static or other issues common with other Bluetooth headphones that I have owned and tested with iPhones and iPads. Range is very good too. However, it is difficult to be totally immersed when listening to music since you hear most sounds around you unless you set the volume very high. That is not necessarily a bad thing since they were designed for outdoors use but it is disappointing when you're home or working out on a treadmill for example. Still, you feel much safer working out everyplace else since you can hear cars and bikes coming towards you. If you're a parent with young kids, being able to hear them while you're enjoying your songs can be extremely useful too. I wish though there was an option to turn off external noise as needed/wanted. Of course, there is no noise canceling as this is supposed to ensure you hear the outside world while you work out. But if you set the volume too high, there is no warranty you will hear anything else around you. Therefore, you can force an immersion but not the one I would recommend despite the fact that you would be defeating the purpose of this headphone. A great feature is the builtin heart monitor which detects your pulse fast and is fairly accurate although I would not trust my life on it but it is useful and always on while the headphones are in your ears. Even my wife who is a healthcare provider loves that feature. Fortunately, it works with other apps since the one that Bose provides for IOS is very very basic not to say disappointing. Battery is supposed to last 5 hours with continuous use but I believe it depends on how high the volume is as I once reached 5 hours and 12 minutes and it still had 17% of power. If you listen an hour or two a day it can last 3 or more days without needing to be charged again. You will hear updated information about power which is good despite the rude disruption. It would be great if instead of using a USB cable, you could charge it wireless but that would probably add weight to this incredibly light device. Most control buttons are on the light weight cord that connects both sides of the headphone. My only complaint about it is that there is enough space to add buttons to go forward or back but while there are dedicated + and - buttons for volume, there is only one for pause, back and forward. One push to pause/play, 2 to go forward and 3 to go back. Once you get used to it, you can live with it though. Now to what really impressed and surprised me. The reason why I would recommend this product over any other sports headphones out there. I can use this one for hours without any discomfort in my ears, neither around them since nothing goes over them nor inside as the pressure is almost non-existent. I could hardly believe that it fits my ears so perfectly and does not fall off while I'm running or eating. No itching either. As I mentioned before, it is very light. Also, sweat seems to be no problem for it. I would have rated it 4.5 stars, taking half a point due to the lack of option to mute outside noise but since it is not an option, I'm giving it a full 5. Summary: if you need a sports headphone that is light, comfortable, above average sound quality and with a good heart monitor, while still being able to hear outside noise for your or other's safety, this is the one for you. You won't regret it and may rather use it for long hours than noise canceling ones just because of the comfort. But if all you want is to listen to music and forget about the world around you and you're not concerned about being run over by a vehicle in the process, this is not your headphone. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.

These Bose earbuds were a good upgrade from my jaybirds. They sound better than my x3s and battery life is about the same. Gave a 4 star due to high price and bulky appearance.

between beats and these, i like these because they sound great for the gym and they stay just right. my only gripe is they only have 5 hours of battery life while beats has 12.

Got these ear buds for my husband who has an ICD (internal cardiac defibrillator), and he LOVES the heart rate monitor! Works very well, stays in the ear during exercise. Highly recommend!

I looked at going from wired to wireless headphones for a few weeks and went through jaybirds and skull candy before this one. They make my look like a cyborg, but sound great and are super comfy.

Love these. Little bulky- but very comfortable. I've experienced the Bluetooth connection breaking up a few times- not sure what that's about. But generally it all works well and love the quality.

These are by far the most comfortable I have purchased and the sound is so clear ... the sound quality is amazing only bad thing is that there are a lil bit big.

These are absolutely the best wireless headphones I've bought. Truly Sweat resistant and very comfortable and they do not fall out while doing even the most vigorous of activities.

The Sounds coming out of the headphones are very true and clear sounding. Plus the heart rate sensor is pretty much the same as a chest strap. Overall I'm very happy with it.

I like the headphone and its stays in ears even when I am running. Sound quality is very good but need more longer battery life for this high price.

I was a bit hesitant because of the price but they have performed very well for workouts and have been sweat resistant. Good sounds and functionality.

Initially I brought the SoundSport and they are good , but I wasn't satisfied since I recently started into fitness and so I returned them and got the soundsport pulse in which I think it well worth the extra money. It keep me informed with calories burned. Quality in sound is good never had any other wireless earbuds to compare to, but to regular headphones it definitely makes a difference. They are also NOT noise canceling headphones but that ok I prefer them like this for outdoor activities.
