Super comfortable in the ear and will not move on a workout
Quick charge capabilities
Good luck finding truly wireless earbuds that sound better than these you won't
I found the signal very reliable and strong. I had no drops or issues getting the earbuds to pair
These are even more comfortable than the standard SoundSport Wireless

Occasional lag when watching video
Very sculpted sound signature

Mushy control buttons
Bulky charging case
Lack of aptX protocol (not necessarily a deal breaker)

They struggle in loud environments
Don't always sync with video

Noise isolation is lacking for noisy environments like a gym

At $249, the Bose SoundSport Free are expensive: you can find a number of competent true wireless headsets for significantly less. But with their nearly unflappable Bluetooth reception, water resistance, easy-to-use controls, and brilliant sound, we feel...

The Bose SoundSport Free earphones were a bit of a surprise on many levels during my testing. The first thing that struck me and will likely strike you is when you open the package, these buds are relatively large.However, equally surprising was how comfo...
The bass-forward Bose SoundSport Free earphones are expensive, but nail the design and operational details better than any other pair in the growing wire-free category...
Open earphone approach means you can hear the world, Fantastic sound, and about the best we've heard from a fitness earphone, A smidgen of water resistance, Battery case has your battery life in LEDs

Bulky, has a large charging case, poor audio quality during calls
The Bose SoundSport Free are one of the best wireless in-ear headphones you can buy. True fans of the brand and audiophiles you won't mind the slight bulk in the earbuds and the larger charging case as long as it's delivering that high-quality audio.User...

Good sound, Reliable connectivity, minimal dropouts
High price-tag, Iffy form-factor
