Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought them for my dad for Christmas. He loves them.

Was a gift to my friend and she said they are awesome!

I love my Bose earbuds, especially when I’m in the gym.

I love earbuds! I have about a dozen I’ve used in the recent past, most of them now sitting unused in my closet. I have around-the-neck buds, sports-oriented buds, buds with ANC, those without ANC, 5-hour buds, 10+hour buds, with a handful of them being truly wireless models. While they all have different levels of sound quality, my go-to buds are always those that feel best in my ears. A recently obtained pair had outstanding sound and long-lived batteries, yet discomfort was ever-present after just 20 minutes of use. Speaking for myself only, I can say that Bose’s ear tips have always been my favorites. In fact, Bose buds I purchased years ago are still my preferred choice. They set the standard for comfort. Enter the new Bose Sports Earbuds. These new earbuds are super comfortable. I’m using the medium tips and they feel wonderful and the sound is excellent! With other manufacturer products, I typically would end up going to a smaller ear tip to get a comfortable fit; however, the sound was always tinny, fidelity was lost, and the bass was almost non-existent. Regarding sound, Bose uses what they call “Volume-optimized Active EQ” to provide some big sound to these small buds. I tried turning up the sound to maximum, just to see what would happen, and it was way too loud for comfort. And yet, I sensed no distortion at all. To keep the buds from falling from your ears, Bose has what they call “StayHear” construction with their ear tips – which are made from silicone - that stay in place no matter how much jostling is going on. While ANC is a missing feature with these buds, the tight seal of the ear tips keeps out much of the distracting ambient noise that would otherwise drown out the sound with a looser fit. Still, my footfalls from my treadmill were pretty annoying even with the music turned up. These buds are rated IPX4, which means that the internal electronics are sufficiently protected in the event you sweat excessively or are caught in the rain when outside. While I don’t normally receive phone calls when exercising, it’s nice to know that I can have a call without complaints that the caller can’t understand me, or me understanding them. While I haven’t had an opportunity to test them out in a heavy wind event, calls to family and friends have been very good. No complaints on my end or theirs; everything was clear. These buds, like many competing products, use a capacitive touch interface. That is, touch the outside of the earbuds to perform a specific function. Tap the right earbud in this model twice to pause/play. Tap the right earbud and hold it, and your phone’s assistant is activated (mine is Bixby). Tap the left earbud twice and it 1) skips to the next track or 2) gives you the current battery level (this is defined in the Bose Music app). These buds are on the low-end of battery capacity at 5 hours. The charging case provides an additional 10 hours of battery, equivalent to two full recharging efforts. A quick 15-minute charge will give you up to 2 hours of use. Honestly, the 5 hours is probably fine for me because, except for travelling, I rarely use my buds for more than a couple of hours at a time. As noted above, these buds come fitted with medium ear tips, and include an additional small and a large set. The Bose Music App that I alluded to earlier lets you name your buds, manage Bluetooth connections, and more. Lastly, these buds have 4 microphones, can communicate up to 30 feet using Bluetooth version 5.0, and support Codec SBC and AAC. From a critical perspective, while the sound these buds puts out is outstanding, the capacitive controls lack of functionality is glaring. I don’t want to have to pull my phone out of my pocket just to change the volume, or answer a call, or go to a previous track. Pause/play and Volume changes are two things that I do numerous times each use. While I’ve seen nothing to suggest a firmware update is forthcoming to address these shortcomings, I’m keeping my fingers crossed. If these buds had these features, I could retire all my other buds permanently. Ignoring the capacitive control issues, these buds warrant a 5-star review for fidelity and clear call reception. However, I’m giving them 4 stars because I can’t overlook the lack of capacitive control.

Great! Bought as a present and my husband loved them!

I haves my old JBL for a while and after exchanging them to Bose ones I gotta say it’s worth it the sound quality is nice and with the warranty it’s even better since they cost you 150

I love Bose Earbuds they are the best my son loved.

They work on any cell and tv on any bluetooth items

Good product. Wow simply fantastic and amazing woww

No what I expected I exchange two times so I ended it up grabing apple

I have had many technical issues and had to reset these multiple times to use them. The app they have tied to this device is garbage on Android and rarely works. Please please pass on these, The sound quality is not even that good. You can buy better earbuds for less the 25% of the price of these. I am very disappointed with this purchase and Bose for putting their name to this.

I have small ears. Too big for me. Keep falling. Great sound though.

Very good kkbj hi un lo l de nendnbfjnffkkkfnnnfnnn

Bought them as a Christmas gift and they love them!

Wonderful gift for my son.. He enjoys them greatly.

Sound quality is so good and comfortable to use .

Kept falling out of my ear. And sound quality was just alright. Expected better from Bose

Awesome got exzacttly what I was expecting and sound is better the expecting thanks

Sometimes it’s freezes up and takes time to change

These have a very sleek design but are definitely a far cry from the previous model with actual buttons! The touch technology is to new and not very advanced for this particular merchandise unfortunately.. Pros: sleek design New colors Pause/play and answering calls are just a tap. Comfortable in your ears for long periods of time. Both headphones can be used during a call which the previous generation was only one. Cons: Touch for volume is next to impossible to use. Can only skip forward a track not backwards. Completely different bose app compared to old generation. Design of charging case was average for the price. Doesn't hold as long of a charge then the previous generation especially during calls.
