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

The editors didn't like
No active Noise cancellation
If you've been spoiled by the Airpods ability to use lightning cable you have to go back to using Micro-USB
$250. That is not an easy sell
These aren't exactly subtle. I get Bluetooth earpiece flashbacks whenever I wear them
Bose says 5 hours
I found 3.54 hours more realistic
Like the SoundSport Wireless
The Free have absolutely terrible
Nighunusable memb

Connection dropouts
Occasional lag when watching video
Very sculpted sound signature
Design isn't for everyone
Mushy control buttons
Bulky charging case
Lack of aptX protocol (not necessarily a deal breaker)
Larger than most hardware in its class
Designed to allow outside sound in—may not appeal to all listeners
They struggle in loud environments
Don't always sync with video
High price tag
Relatively large buds stick out of ears
Noise isolation is lacking for noisy environments like a gym

Comfortable and secure fit, excellent sound, fine bass, recharge from case
Case could be a touch smaller and use USB Type-C for charging

Abstract: If you'd told me in 2007 that people would be walking around listening to music with wireless, popcorn-sized earbuds, I would have called you crazy. It is now 2017, and these futuristic little gadgets are a reality. But which ones are the best?Pretty much...

Abstract: Apple crushed a big problem when it released the AirPods. Companies had been trying — and failing — to build truly wireless earbuds for years. But then Apple showed up and was like, "Here they are!" Now, it's Bose's turn. The new SoundSport Free wireless...
Good sound, Reliable connectivity, minimal dropouts
High price-tag, Iffy form-factor
As a first effort in the true wireless category, the Bose SoundSport Free are an impressive effort. Unfortunately, they're also one dragged down by an slightly iffy form-factor and high pricetag...
5 hours of battery life, IPX4-rated waterproofing, Good bass response, Comfortable
Large form factor, Pricier than similar competitors
For most listeners, probably not. While we like the Bose SoundSport Free enough not to knock anyone who we see wearing them, we simply prefer the more affordable and better-looking Jabra Elite Active 65t. Unless you're a huge bass-head, we suspect you wil...
Excellent sound quality with a clear and detailed treble and a firm bass that's not overbearing, There's no sound leakage whatsoever, so you won't disturb those around you with the music you're listening too, The headphones offer five hours of listening t
Expensive, The music doesn't stop when one ear bud is removed which would be a sure sign you have lost one, The bright colour and large design won't be too everyone's taste
An expensive but great sounding pair of truly wireless headphones for sport. Great sound quality and plenty of listening time but the bold design won't suit those looking for a more discreet option...

Excellent, balanced sound, Built for abuse, Good battery life
Not good for noisy environments, Awkward fit, Comparatively expensive
For those looking for wireless headphones that can withstand the abuses of working out, the SoundSport Free are an excellent option, assuming they fit your ears. Being sweat and water resistant means you can wear these without them slipping out too easily...

Deep, powerful bass, Nicely balanced and rounded sound, Impressive battery life, Find My Buds feature
Wireless connection between earbuds can be flaky
So, the good news is that the Bose SoundSport Frees can give the very best wireless buds a serious run for their money. They sound the business and their feature-set puts some rivals to shame. But. And it's a big but. The fact they have a tendancy to dro...

Excellent, balanced sound, Built for abuse, Good battery life
Awful ambient noise isolation, Earbuds fit loosely and stick out, Comparatively expensive
For those looking for wireless headphones that can withstand the abuses of working out, the SoundSport Free are an excellent option, assuming they fit your ears. However, if you're not working out and value any sort of noise isolation, you'll need to look...
