Bose Soundsport Wireless

The Bose Soundsport Wireless are a more traditional pair of wireless in-ear headphones, with a neckband cable incorporating a remote housing part-way down rather than the earpieces being untethered – or true wireless.

The remote barely weighs anything and they are comfortable to wear. The soft silicone rubber hooks trace the basic lines of the ear, making the fit secure enough for running or going to the gym.

As a result of not having a big battery pack as part of a rigid neckband, the battery life is a modest six hours, but that should be more than enough for the average workout or commute.

Importantly, the Bose Soundsport Wireless are sweat resistant and certified to IPX4, so they can’t be submerged but they will handle sweat and splashes better than normal earphones.

The Bose sound is perfect for this kind of earphone too – the kind of powerful, punchy bass that might get you running that bit faster. For listening in a quiet room it may seem a touch aggressive, but that’s not really what the Bose Soundsport Wireless are for.

These Boses may not have the stellar insight of some pairs of earphones at this price, but they are dynamic and make your music sound lively and fun.

Bose has managed to craft a sound signature with no glaring flaws: no harshness, good detail and no clear focus on one part of the frequency spectrum. The Bose Soundsport Wireless headphones are comfortable, sound great, are easy to use and don’t cost any more than their high-quality rivals.
