"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"They have wire between the two ear buds that makes it easy to pop one bud out to hear ambient noise or talk to someone and NOT lose the bud by putting it in pocket or on a counter."

"My core instant tent went through damn near hurricane storms and not even a drip."
"My two Winix units are 11 years old with 24/7 use and still going strong!"
"Winix makes a quality product. ... I have one that’s run basically non stop for almost a decade."

"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."

"constant connectivity issues I experienced. ... The buds would randomly not turn on when taken out of the case, or just one wouldn't turn on, or they wouldn't connect, or sometimes the buds would randomly disconnect/reconnect, or sometimes the buds would disconnect from each other. ... I really wanted to keep them but they were borderline unusable, even after an update."
"Also connection with iPhone has always been terrible. ... Dropped connections, sometimes it just won ’t connect."
"they would constantly disconnect from my s23."

"The fit just doesn't feel right ... its heavy after an hour of use so who cares about battery life ... may as well get some over ears for comfort."
"they are too big for my tiny ears"
"the problem with them is there size and fit. ... Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a fix for the size and fit. ... Denon would have to literally redesign the earbud to make it much smaller with the comfort level of the Gemini 2 or the Pi8."

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"after about 6 months of use, the battery life fell off dramatically. ... I'm lucky if I get 45 minutes out of a full charge. ... This battery issue affected both sets of Elite 65t earbuds."
"my vivoactive 4s died a few months ago now after a few good years services, I wanted to change it. I couldn't because I had the change the whole watch, planned obsolescence."

"The only thing I really hate is the fact they are touch and not a push button. When I run I wipe my face with a towel and it keeps pushing the buttons."
"The touch sensitivity on the buds is insane. ... I wish there was a way to lower it without turning it off entirely. ... Went for a run during some light rain. My wet hair kept setting off the assistant and pausing the music."
"Only complaint is the touch pad on the ear bud causes songs to skip or pause when I need to adjust it while I'm in the gym. ... Seems impossible to touch it at all without activating some kind of control."
I’ve had the Bose sports, aftershokz, and Jabra. My favorite is just the AirPod Pros.
r/XXRunning • To runners, what are the best headphones for running you've tried or heard of so far? ->Like others said they were pioneers in the noise cancelling space but I actually got the bose sport run free (I think that's what they're called and I don't like noise cancelling I prefer to be aware of my surrounds when walking and jogging and even at work I like to keep an ear out). Got them almost purely for their stayhear tips. The tips have a funny wing design that have a good hold for jogging they stay in place really well and i find them really comfy I even wear them for hours at work. Sound quality is mediocre though haha.
r/audiophile • Even if audiophiles dislike Bose, what do they like about the brand at all? ->I got bose sound sport for this reason keeps me aware out and about and also in the office I can turn in to people's convos still
r/runninglifestyle • Learned my lesson about running with noise-cancelling earbuds ->I upgraded from Bose Soundsports to the Ultra Open (bone conducting) when my Sports died. I wish they were a hair louder, but otherwise very pleased.
r/ultrarunning • What pods/headphones/buds do you use? ->I love the Bose sound sports but they have stopped selling them. I’ve had 3 pairs and I got my 3rd pair second hand from cex. Might even buy another pair if they are knocking around in case I put this set in the washing machine as well. I like them for the wire that sits on my neck so I can knock a bud out if needs be. The totally wireless ones I find annoying that if I want to remove one I then have to hold it
r/UKRunners • Best headphones for running? ->Bose soundsport wireless earbuds. The bose 'stayhear' tips are the only earbuds that can stay in my ears for long runs without issue. So of course they're discontinued and increasingly harder to find
r/running • What earbuds do you use while running? ->Right, my advice was based on which sub it was in ;) Had no issues with my Bose SoundSport for years (except not being able to hear anything - only used one ear on trails)
r/trailrunning • What are the best wireless earbuds ? ->I love Bose Soundsports, but they don’t make them anymore :-(
r/ultrarunning • What pods/headphones/buds do you use? ->Bose Soundsport. Mine have lasted for years. Incredible sound, stays put, keeps its charge for a long time.
r/AppleFitnessPlus • Best Earbuds for Running? Need Ones That Stay Put ->Bose soundsport earphones are the best earphones I've ever used for, well, sport. I cycle and run with them and they don't fall out + they sound fine. I've never experienced earbuds that didn't suck to try and jam in my ear before
r/audiophile • Even if audiophiles dislike Bose, what do they like about the brand at all? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
