So I got these for 200 after I bought them I was thinking why did I spend so much money I said I'm going to return them in 2 weeks then I listen to the quality and sound There is no way I'm going to return them now I enjoy and love them best sound quality ever no one can ever match bose Plus they have a pattern no one can use and no sound quality will be better
This is by far the best explanation review for ANY product I've seen on You Tube. This should be the bench mark. Well done mate! Full of information and operating features very well explained! Dave, Australia
I bought the Bose yesterday September 25,2020 Bose 2.8.0 firmware update fixed alot of bugs I have most if not all of the premium earbuds out there and NONE NOT EVEN SONY SOUND LIKE THE SOUND SPORT FREE BOSE IS THE BOSS WHEN IT COMES TO SOUND AND DETAIL I JUST GOT FINISHED GOING BACK AND FORTH LISTENING AND COMPARING THEM TO THE LIBERTY 2 pros listening to some Travis Scott and Bose literally sounds better and I love my liberty 2 pros but they are no match plus I just bought the Bose for a 149.00 bucks at target if you want some earbuds that will literally make you notice sounds you never heard in songs you’ve been listening to for years *BOSE* the end.
I picked mine up today for $69 at Target. Theses were on sale for $129, but since the box was in the wrong spot, I got the $69 price that was on a cheaper brand.
Best sound from headphones I have ever had. But they could have a little more volume but I think is my iPhone holding them back. A android would have them hitting with the power amp app. And the bass is really deep.
for any video delay problems when using this product, the problem may be with the youtube app I found that watching youtube through google browser and safari on my iphone solved the video delay problem, I had no problem with the hulu or netflix app but if you do, sign in to those through either safari or google or whatever default browser your phone comes with, remember youtube and all apps are third party apps running on your phone and those apps are constantly being updated. for iphone users I am assuming any iphone over 5s running ios 11.1 should work? keep in mind also older phones have older processers older bluetooth connections that cant be solved with firmware updates but try it who knows! it worked for me.
I had these earphones and the delay was atrocious and so were the random sound cutouts/disconnections. I have since got a pair of totally wireless earphones from another manufacturer, but this pair uses Bluetooth 5 rather than the older Bluetooth 4 technology that Bose chose to use. I get no video delay/lip sync problem with the Bluetooth 5 pair of earphones. I think the Bluetooth 4 technology Bose use in these, is the main reason for the video delay complaints.
I had these and had countless replacements, and always made sure the Firmware was up to date. But despite this, I got fed up with the random sound dropouts on the left bud, and also the random disconnections to. There are countless complaints online with this issue and as of now, Bose have no fix for it. All you get from Bose is their scripted reply of "unpair, re-pair, make sure the firmware is up to date" even when I have previously told them I have already done this. These are a flawed product and Bose seriously needs to recall these and fix the cause of the problems, rather than treating their customers as beta testers. While these earphones work ok, they sound great, and if you don't mind the random disconnections, sound dropouts then by all means go for them.
Im not sure if you were saying that there's a lag when watching videos with the earphones are in but im watching this video with the device in and there's no lag and never has been while watching other RU-vid videos. Thanks
It's on sale now for $169. I really don't care much about the sound quality when it's so close to my ear, I think you wanna have better sound system when you are playing them in open space. That can tell the difference. So I got a $15 headphone wireless, I'm ok with listening music with that inside my ear, only problem is it keeps slipping out of my ear. So I need something that can stay in my ear when I am in the gym.
Just watched this with these earpods on and you are perfectly synced. So maybe the firmware updates has dealt with the sync issue. Tjay are also alot cheaper at the moment $169
Excellent review. I am a bit concerned about his comment that RU-vid is coming out of the right ear only? Does that mean all movie streaming - Netflix, Prime, etc - all come out of one ear?
is the delay still still a athing or did they fix that software error? I ask because it seems there are more reviews per day that dont have that problem. Thnaks
Thank you for your videos. I lost the left Earbuds of my Bose Soundsport Free. I found a user who sells a Earbuds like the one I lost - Left. - If I buy this Earbuds from this user (naturally it is a Bose Soundsport Free) can I pair it with my system? Thanks in advance
thanks, great job... bose have to learn from you the right way to treat a real bose fan like me with an excellent video manual for using these fantastic devices... bose is the best for sound but for customer service is bad...
Sorry dude, but I think it’s your phone because mines don’t do that. They don’t have delay at all. I just got them today and they are great when it comes to the sync 🤷🏽♂️
when they released these i was like ‘nah i don’t think those can be better than my beats’ boi was i wrong, i was dumb, got mine a week ago, the sound is indeed mind blowing, yes, they don’t have the noise canceling feature like my beats did, but i think everyone is being dramatic i mean you do listen SOME of the environment sound but not all🙄 i use them on my note 9 and i don’t have noise lags the only thing i don’t like it’s the left earbud dropping out at times, that can kill moods☠️😔 if you’re not short on money it’s a great purchase, otherwise you better spend it on the icon x that’s my opinion (thank you for the review)
Do the Bose Sport in ear connect to Windows PC? Iv had x2 pairs of the previous wired (Sound sport) version and they never use to. Was the worst thing ever - So inconvenient as I wanted to use them for meetings
So when I'm watching RU-vid videos your mouth is moving and i can hear your voice it matches perfectly I have android maybe it has to do with your Apple phone
I had a problem with the left bud disconnecting while out walking. I think it was seeking other Bluetooth devices. If it happens again I’ll be returning them.
Hello, can you please tell me if the tips go inside the ear canal, as I hate that feeling of something inside my drums. I would like the feeling that you get with Apple ear/airpods....please confirm, thanks
Hi, thanks for replying. No, I have never used any Bose headphone products before, which is why I am a bit reluctant to buying these. So, basically they do not feel as if you have a Q-tip stuck inside your ear? @@SidsTips
does anyone know if bose sells singles? i lost the right side one :/ and unfortunately i think thats the important one. Or does anyone know if i can still use just the left side? And if so, how can i do that
Hey I do use this product and it’s sounds really really good but the problem is I can receive a call but I can’t communicate through pods so is there anything that you can help me ??
These headphones are basically impossible to use for anyone who wants to use multiple devices and who wants to watch video. The pairing is awful and the fact that only the right earbud communicates with your device (relaying a signal to the left bud) means that there are terrible latency problems while watching video. Mine are going back to Bose.
I had these earphones and the delay was atrocious and so were the random sound cutouts/disconnections on the left bud. I have since got a pair of totally wireless earphones from another manufacturer, but this pair uses Bluetooth 5 rather than the older Bluetooth 4 technology that Bose chose to use. I get no video delay/lip sync problem with the Bluetooth 5 pair of earphones. I think the Bluetooth 4 technology Bose use in these, is the main reason for the video delay complaints.
I use these with a galaxy s8 and the audio/video sync isn't an issue. So if you have android you'll be fine. If you have an iPhone, best to look at alternatives
The base on the Bose are great. But the volume on these are WAY WAY TOO LOW!!!! Even when I’m walking around the house the volume is Too Low. I went to the gym to make sure I’m not being biased with the Bose earbuds. But again the Bose volume was too Low. I didn’t enjoy my workout. I will be returning them today. I will go back to the Beats because they have more volume. Also I still can hear a good base with the Beats.
Hi, When this Bluetooth gets connected with Laptop, sound comes only from right side device. The sound is not coming from the second device which is on the left. Can you help me with some solution ??
Pues a mí después de 3 años, no me dura la batería más de 1 hora. No sé porqué, pero no me dan solución ninguna. Una pena para esta marca, pues suenan muy bien, pero no puedes gastarte 170 € después de que te pase la garantía
Can I still connect them with only 1 piece my friend borrowed mine and lost the right side so I only have the left is there any way I can still connect them because I’m trying and it won’t connect
HMMM. Sounds like a tv issue. Made sure pairing is turned on which I am sure you know. Otherwise you will probably want to call tech support from these companies.
Bought it just a day before saw this video, have to say I had this problem as well with initial firmware, but I've managed to fix it 1. Upgrade firmware to latest through PC (a way faster than through phone) 2. Clear list of paired devices (Find on official website how to do it) - www.bose.com/en_us/support/article/clearing-the-headphone-pairing-list-pulse.html 3. Pair them again A problem has gone and now works like a charm. It worth 200$ IMO
the second clip showing the audio latency on a locally stored video was so out of sync I was confused as hell Only moments later I realised I was infact wearing the headphones shown, and watching a video on RU-vid.
It's more than likely because Bose cheaped out and went with the older and less thoroughput Bluetooth 4 technology, rather than using the newer and more robust connectivity and throughput wise, Bluetooth 5 technology. The reason I say this is because I have since went with another pair of totally wireless earphones which use Bluetooth 5, and the lip sync issue is not there now on my iPhone (and this is the same iPhone I used with the Bose).
Has anyone successfully paired these headphones to the Apple Watch Series 3? I don't like having my phone with me at the gym and generally listen to music and do my calls through my Apple Watch. I would appreciate to hear if anyone has been successful with this.
Richard Goldman yes and they stay connected really well. But there about a 2 second lag when pausing music. But there like no Bass whatsoever and there's no noise isolation because the buds don't create a seal so they're no good for the gym
Richard Goldman also when you're playing music from your watch and reply to a text by using the speech bubble, dictation will always fail. You have to pause the music then hold the middle button wait for Siri then say send a message etc and it'll work. Using the speech bubble option in messages doesn't work over Bluetooth headphones. They stuffed that up since watch os 2
