$279.99, bose.com.au FIT & COMFORT These are perfectly comfortabl­e for use in the gym or at home, but aren’t so good for running or cycling – they’re noticeably less stable than the Jabras in the ear. The way they protrude catches on hoods far too often, and looks a bit cyborg-y. FEATURES Like the Jabras, you get five hours of battery, plus 10 hours from the case – though a quick-charge feature gives 45 mins of juice from a 15-minute charge. IPX4 rating makes them sweat- and rain-resistant. Voice control is also here. CONNECTIVI­TY We found the connectivi­ty on the Bose totally unbreakabl­e in normal sport use – quick to connect, solid through a session, and always super clear. If you lose a bud, the app makes it easy to find where you last had it. Very nice. SOUND QUALITY You get notably better audio from the Bose headphones than the Jabra – good enough to be your everyday headphones too. However, the protruding design catches a lot of wind noise, so they aren’t ideal for outdoor activity at times.
