Disappointed : The NEW Bose Sport Earbuds 

it mostly for sport, that why you can hear your surrounding. For example if you ride a bike you want to hear if the car is getting close to you...

I've had these sport buds for about three weeks and couldn't disagree more with this review, this guy was looking for issues, I absolutely love them and have no issues, I run, bike, and walk to work with them, I just bought a pair for my wife and recently my son bought a pair and said they were amazing.

*UPDATE* I bought these today, and they DO have an EQ setting function on the app, where you can now increase the bass, treble, etc. Perhaps a recent update they've added? Either way, they sound great and I'd highly recommend them. 👍🙂

just to correct you, you can control volume sliding your fingers up and down on the right earbud touch sensor.

The price is high, but they sound very good, better mic and UNRIVALLED COMFORT. The REVIEWER is a harsh. If u value comfort and sound these are the best out there

I feel like I should just say these headphones actually rock, never fall out working out, on motorcycle, at work at a plumber. I like to be able to hear with light music on

The size is to create that unmistakable great sound quality. If it were easy to make music sound fantastic with small earbuds, every company would do it. Despite the drawbacks of size and no multi-point usage, wireless charging case, it's difficult to deny they sound rock solid with great audio. Keep in mind, they are smaller than their predecessors, the Bose Soundsport Free.

I almost skipped out on buying these because of all the negative reviews of all tech aspects of it. I keep seeing people saying the sound is unmatched with these and shouldnt that be the most important thing?. I dont need all bells and whistles i just want comfort without falling out and great sound. My phones in my pocket,i can control anything i really need to. Reading these comments has me optimistic though

i dont know why no one talks about the crisp quality sound bose offers. ive tried beats, jaybird, and a few other brands and none have the quality sounds as bose does. And the comfort is amazing, does not strain and hurt my ears at all like most of the competition does, i just love the sound and comfort, bose really hit a homerun with those ear buds

I completely agree with you. In the sub-$200 range you really need to bring the quality features to make yourself stand out. Otherwise they better the best earbuds I ever heard if you're going to skimp on the bells and whistles.

You can swipe on right earbuds to adjust volume. You can tap once for play or pause, tap twice for next song, tap 3 times to previous song. Maybe u should read the manual before review. Cheers.

My husband just bought me a pair of these today. A quick check of the Bluetooth connection to my phone (which was only able through the Bose App) and a Pandora song turned out a fabulous experience when listening to music. To me, your phone should have eq settings so I don't worry about that with the earbuds, whatever is coming through my phone should be the experience I receive on the end-user side. I have a Pixel 4XL and it's got some great internal sound anyway. I do love the fit, as that's an issue for little ears and other types of earbuds at a lower price point. I'm super excited to give these a shot. Thank you for your review.

I have these because, of all earbuds I’ve used for working out, these are the ones that ALWAYS stay firmly in my ears and I never have to fidget with them. That, for me, trumps everything else. Others sound better and have better controls and features, but if I have to push them back into my ears every two minutes, am I even really enjoying those things?

The "solid, stable connection" isn't so good after a few weeks. If you move around a lot, like one does during a workout, the connection gets very choppy.

I have the sports this guy is making a huge issue over nothing. I've never had a top teir brand headphone and my mind was blown with the sport. Also you can use your phone in the sound settings to adjust the bass levels to the earbuds. And damn that bass is punchy and clean, and still not over powering the vocals highs or mids. They fit snug as hell and you can easily sleep with them on at night. They almost feel as if there not even on your head. Absolutely brilliant. My only concern is that the LEDs on the ear peices stay on in the case which will very slowly drain battery. The case also does nit have a tight seal so you can see the lights through the cracks, and maybe that was intentional for users to see if charging is done without popping the case open. Overall I'm blown away with these.

There is no point to have more than 5 hours or battery life do you really work out for more than 5 hours in a row ? Most I do is 3 and the fit is the most important aspect of any earbud which they absolutely nailed you don’t want any sort of noise Cancelling because you Need to hear your surroundings I would never have it on anyway and that is just the Bose sound signature not too much bass because most music isn’t about the bass it’s about everything else the bass keeps rhythm and helps drive the song but it should not be the thing you are listening to or focused on it’s the vocals it’s the trumpets it’s the mid range to hi tones

The app does allow you to activate the swipe up and down on right bud to control volume and as someone has already stated, there is an EQ adjustable through the app. Plus you can use left bud to go back or forward with track selection. You have to set that feature up because you have defaults to the left bud so you can customize the left bud.. Maybe you should have downloaded the app before posting.

I just bought it today and I'm in love with them, comfortable and a perfect balanced sound with a great bass!!

I also love them. I’ve used them a few times and have no issues with them and the sound is good. I went for a couple runs with them and they didn’t move. The touch features work well on them. Bought them on sale at a target for 159. I would recommend

Thanks for taking the time for this review. I thought I was bugging when I couldn’t use the left earbud only! Bose is such a great name. I’m disappointed in the lack of features and quality which I feel should be basic things in a headset these days.

There's an issue. If you lose and earbud or the case. You have to get a brand new set. They're not interchangeable

Strange, to me the bass seems really strong and decently controlled. And while the vocals are quite present and clean, the overall sound seems kinda veiled, muted even, especially in the treble. I am coming from Sennheiser MTW 2 and the difference is huge.

I've got this as a gift. At first I was disappointed to know that it doesn't have active noise cancellation (I expected it), and the buds were falling off my ear during activities involving jerking moments. But, switching the ear tip made a huge difference! Not only has it reduced the outside noise, but had a better fit during activity. I am still wondering if it's worth to invest a little more and get the one with ANC.

Bro, does the sound and bass performance better than the previous bose sound sport free??

I was honestly so excited about these, but there's seems to be almost no improvement over the soundsport frees. Bottom line, there are a ton of better sports buds options for less $

It is the best sport earbuds I have. Owned 2 sets! Only $179.00. Sound quality is best.

Yes, you can control the volume. IMHO, these have awesome sound quality. I get the fact that many like all the bells and whistles, but I buy the darn things to have a really good sound experience while working out, or walking my dog. I did my due diligence when choosing these and I am very satisfied. By the way, the bass is very good and I can't think of a better pair in the sub $200 category...

Not painful after 30 min into the ear? I must have small ear, get painful after 10 mins or so

The battery depletion issue when not is use for days at a time is fixed! This was my biggest problem with the older ones. Bose also just released an update where you can swipe up and down on the right ear bud that will control the volume. Can confirm that this works!

Another important note for these. They are a nightmare when trying to swap between different paired devices. On the older Soundsport Free earbuds you would press the button on the left earbud. On these there is no on-bud pairing button. Instead you need to to turn off the Bluetooth on the connected device, then manually connect to the new device.

Can anyone let me know how the fit is? Does it fall off during heavy workout sessions, running? And do they just block out all air and make it uncomfortable for continuous use?

As someone who has been using the sound sport wired for years, I am excited about these. I love that the earpiece stays in my ear when I'm sweating and running.

Update your app the EQ is there!! Just did it and got it . Sounds perfect.. sounds like I’m in the club lol 👍🏽

Should update this as price is less, volume control was fixed by FW update and don't need noise cancellation (you doing something wrong). The earbuds are extremely comfortable and blocks out most background noise (we don't want ALL noise gone). Bose makes extremely good products - who gives a crap about BASS thumping your eardrums out? Bass is well-mixed in my opinion. I am curious what you consider "great" - must be one of those people that have to have your ears thumping which is really bad for your ears. They are not perfect for sure. Last question: how much freaking smaller do you want lol? Try losing a few of them and you will NOT want them any smaller.

Soundpeats proves time and again that you don't need to dish out more than 100$ to get good sound and feature packed earbuds.

Your phone has a EQ. I don't see the issue there.

Bro compared to the Bose Free's .. these are way smaller .. sound better.. and dont disconnect . I love these earbuds! haters gonna hate lol

Any difference in soumd quality between these and Bose soundsport free?

Lol some negative comments here. The video is comparing this earbuds to some non water and sweat resistant earbuds, and it’s completely out of context. This is sport earbuds, so of course compare to non water resistant with similar price this Bose will be ‘slightly behind’ 😂 The sound quality of this earbuds is amazing, even without EQ, and adjusting it through Spotify will make it even better. So much details, dynamic bass, basically very accurate. Only the battery life and lack volume button that aren’t good here. But the comfort? Amazing. It may be bigger than some others but still acceptable. Even if Airpods Pro cost this much? I’ll still go for Bose Sport.

Did I hear correctly, that there is no volume control on the buds?? You have to use the app? I have the original wireless Soundsport and there is on-unit volume buttons

Idk why all are talking about that no eq is in the app... Why not downloading an eq? Problem solved.

Still thinking about giving these a chance. Do these have bad audio latency issues like the previous Soundsport model?

For those of you with Spotify, try messing around with the built-in equaliser. Out of the box they sound good, but with a few tweaks they easily outperform all the contestants in their price range in terms of sound quality. Weirdly, I found the "Classic" and "R&B" equaliser settings the best for these (on Spotify). I don't get what Gamesky means when he says "they don't have enough bass", they make my brain shake on these settings. Yes they lack features. Yes they are a bit expensive. No, nothing beats them in the sound department.

There’s a EQ now along with the fact you can go to previous tracks apparently. So you can actually turn that bass up

I originally got the Jabra Elite 85t because they were so highly rated compared to the Bose Sport, but I hated them. They were too small for my big head and the sound quality was terrible, despite having more bells and whistles like sound cancelling and EQ. Those Bose sport fit better, create a better seal in my ear and sound better (especially Base) by leaps and bounds.

Ooh man, i really wanted them to be great considering how long Bose have been teasing us. Too bad i still can't get them just yet 😵 great review man. 👍

The right one always disconnects every day I have to figure out how to reset them to get the right one to work

Download the app..a lot of misinformation going on here. I fucking love mine.

I've been looking for these and they're nowhere to be found. Discontinued and may not be restocked. Does anyone know why that is? Is there a new version coming out? I love this color.

Ive been looking at these, and was wondering would these be an upgrade from the Bose Soundsport Wireless earbuds? I heard the sound quality is meh but the ones i have are sort of "lower tier" out of all of them

If you download the app you can adjust the treble and base.

Not sure about these but my raycon ear buds I use the large. It blocks out more outside noise which makes it a little annoying when talking to people but it increases the bass

The funniest part for me is how they released new earbuds, and haven't even fixed the lag issue on the current ones.

Subscribed. The vid huge helped to me. Do you have a plan to review QC earbuds?

I, too. I can quite figure out how to charge them. They are worthless if they can't be charged.

Jabra Active 75t are my favorite.. And they are getting ANC firmware update on Monday!!!!!!😃

Hey gamsky good pair but when you were wearing them , were they too big?

Just got mine guess they listened to your comments as I'm able to control the EQ ... I'm loving it.. my first ear buds.. Definitely needed when I'm running. I wish the shortcut allowed to skip forward and back vs you have to select one or the either.. I'm sure they will fix that..

HOW DO YOU TURN THESE EARBUDS OFF?? they’ve been on for many hours. when i put in the box they’re still on and connected. so if i disconnect them from my phone, they’re still on and running and draining the battery. how do you manually turn these things off? i can’t find an on/off button on these earbuds. i don’t want to have to buy new earbuds in a year just because i could never figure out how to turn them off. please help! thanks!

Love Bose sport 💯! I feel ripped off for always having apple! But owning Bose speakers! Bose is the best ! Size way big but they don’t fall out !

I know this video is old but in case my 2 cents reaches anyone.. These headphones are great in every way except they don't do the one thing I bought them for - connecting to my smartwatch (garmin vivo active 3 music) so I can listen to music while I run. I mean they connect but then I don't have any control of the volume or EQ and I also don't get the touch controls like i would when connected to my phone

I may have misunderstood you, but I thought that swiping up and down on the right earbud is the volume control. That being said, I would much rather press a small button like on the previous model. If I’m supposedly being active how do I swipe when I’m in the middle of jogging or doing something at work without stopping what I’m doing. I thought the previous model with the round case was far superior. They were louder, and they were simple. For me, when I’m doing something outdoors like working I don’t want fancy bells and whistles on my headphones or any kind of delicate touch sensor. Most of the times I have mud on my hands and it’s just not practical. I could really go on and on about how much more I like the last model but I think you get the point. I did not notice a find my headphones feature on this one either. I’ve used that feature on the last pair I had several times to find a missing case of earbuds. I’m not sure what Bose was doing here, I’m guessing they were trying to make them more sleek and technological, but for people that truly do have an active lifestyle I think this was a swing and a miss.

I just got them. I’ve had the Jabra elite active and Jaybird Vistas. I’m disappointed Bose has very little features and a large charging case, but I have to say they’re the most comfortable for me. Willing to put up with it since comfort is the top priority, but it’s a shame.

Bose have really blown it with their new 2 sets of buds, waited a long time along with many others and no. I have now bought on the Amazon day a set of the techniques buds which are amazing. Had them for 150. I am now going to wait for the new Sony’s which I am also not holding out a great deal of hope for based on their recent releases and later next year the AirPod pro 2’s. I may take a look at the new Jabra 85t though, wonder how the semi open back design with 12.5 diam drivers will sound, if it’s just even deeper thumping base them won’t bother, if they have a decent sound stage, separation and mids then could be tempted. But hero and sidekick again, really Jabra. Gamesky we need the new entrants to give the encumbant, sitting on their morals a good kick in the arse.

Dude try the "QCY T7" it has the controls you need under the App available in Apple and Playstore and it's only under 20$.

Are these the upgrade coming from the soundport model? And if so are they much better?

I literally lost my bose earbud today and i only use them for sleeping. I got uo for a pee in the night so they can only be here or the bathroom. Ive turned the bedroom upside down and nothing. Been looking 2 hours. Any suggestions? 😣

I note 'Payette Forward' in their recent evaluation currently have these as in their top 3 buys. Agree with many below who feel you seem to dislike this Bose model and particularly it's sound, with no other good reason compared to many others, by saying quite the opposite. After a lot of online research I've settled on these as my choice for Xmas. I note that they can be currently bought for £124 which seems to be great value.

Surely they will add eq settings to app soon.... What's the even point of an app with EQ settings.... 🙄

Do the 'inner ear parts' of the previous soundsport wireless that you mentioned in the beginning fit with these sport earbuds?

I always enjoy your presentation and knowledge of different audio products. I constantly am entertained and learn much from your videos. Keep up the great content. Blessings on your day.

i bought both these and the Quiet Comfort earbuds. I definitely prefer the Quiet Comforts as it has some of the best ANC and Ambient modes for earbuds. I agree the Sport could have been much better.

I work construction, use these daily and have had them for over a year now and I love them. To each their own 🤙🏾

You probably know that the Jarba Elite 85T are coming out November 1st looking forward to that

Wow! The QC earbuds are also weak on features for an astronomical price. What is Bose doing?!

Keith, Bose has been very good on updates and I'm sure that an upcoming update will have more wanted features. I ordered the big brother "quietcomfort" earbuds and I'm sure to love them. FYI, I have the N700's and love them and is why I ordered the quietcomfort earbuds

Purchased and returned these. Really disappointing. Not being able to turn off the voice control command was the worst.

Any replacement wing tips , even the smallest ones hurt my ears after like 2 minutes. It's to painful to use

How did you know it wasn't playing in the earbud you took out of your ear mate?

I lost my case with the buds in them and I can’t find how to find them online anywhere please help

Did anyone that got the white version of the sport buds not get an equalizer with their app ? I’m not sure what to do and I can’t find anything lol

Why noy chages my left side bose sport earbud? What i will do?

Just got these and I love them. It has too much bass for my taste but good thing the app has an EQ that you can tweak. Reduced the bass a little bit and up the treble and it sounded way better to my ears at least

Please god how do i turn voice control off im sick of calling people randomly while training

Bose Sport Earbuds are good...... when they work. I am on my second pair after 8 months, faulty left ear not working pairing issues customer service could not solve. Two weeks after receiving 2nd replacement pair the same thing happened. I am off to get a refund from place of purchase. I am a loyal Bose customer with many Bose products..... there seems to be an issue with this product.

Mine won’t pair anymore! I pressed forget device so I can reset but nothings working . I’ve been doing the whole reset process for a hour . Still nothing . PLZ HELP!

How can you tell when the buds are fully charged?

I wish the earbuds went in horizontal.

I liked the audio quality and call quality but not the size of the case and the missing volume contros.. this or jabra elite 75t which is good ?

What would you recommend,? this ones or Sonic earbuds?

I got a pair of these to replace a damaged pair Bose Soundsport Free Wireless Headphones. I tried them for two days was very disappointed and returned them. Tracked down a place that still had the same older version I had.

Should I go for these or Jabra Elite active 7?

Mic of sport earbud is very bad or may there is an issue in the one I have and I should visit the agent ti replace it.

I want earbuds for gym use and walking/running. I need easy volume control, play previous track, play next track, I want option to interact with other people or hear some outside noise while walking, Qi enabled charging would be nice, too, and I have small ears and don’t want huge earbuds.

Can u please tell me ur best buds for the low and your best / mid . I’m trying to look for new buds for the gym

Any idea where can I get a charging case replacement?

Excellent video as usual. How do you rate the jabra elite 75t now that they have ANC?

can you hear the voice on both earbuds when taking a call ? or is it like the old ones that its only the right one ? thanks for the vid.

And also i dont see the amplication of mic when typing or whatevewr the reviewer said

Do you have a video where you recommend the best earbuds with earhook? I personally do not like the risk of losing one of this earbuds anytime and prefer to have a pair with earhook for my daily life. Are the powerbeats pro still the best in this range? I would think there is something in the market that works better, specially for android users now that powerbeats pro are quite old. I would appreciate any answer. Thanks
