Bose - SoundSport Pulse Wireless

Everyone loves shokz but personally my favorite are Bose quiet comfort II. I always end up going back to Bose… the quality is just top notch and they are always the most comfortable and reliable (ie they never fall out) in my experience ETA before this I used the Bose sound sports (wire together but Bluetooth - which I loved and still use as a backup sometimes) and the Bose sport buds or whatever the successor to the sound sports were (not wire together), but I lost one and they don’t sell them anymore, hence the upgrade. They’ve all been the best of the best imo, Bose never disappoints.

The quiet comfort ii’s are the best earbuds I’ve ever used! They stay in so well, quality is top tier, and the battery lasts sooo long. Before these I had the sound sports and loved them too, I’ve tried a handful of non-Bose earbuds and none of them come close imo, I always end up splurging on them because it’s honestly just worth it

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.

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

Bose soundsport for me but I’m in the minority here

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)

I love Bose Soundsports, but they don’t make them anymore :-(

Bose Soundsport. Mine have lasted for years. Incredible sound, stays put, keeps its charge for a long time.

I like my Bose sound sports.

I had the Bose soundsports. They were the best sounding earbuds I've ever had & you could fast forward & rewind with them instead of only being able to skip. The batteries only lasted just over a year though.

I don’t know if they still make them but Ive been running with bose soundsport for about 3 years and they fit pretty well. My only complaint is that theyre pretty hefty but idc as long as they don’t fall out

Still using my Samsung Galaxy buds2 pro. Not perfect but great earbuds. Sony Xm4s were what I used before but Sony basically nuked them with firmware updates and refused to refund them. They would heat up charging and were hot to touch, lasted maybe 30 minutes before having to charge again. Before that, they were near perfect after getting foam comply tips. My favorite earbuds have been Galaxy buds pro though, almost perfect in everyway if you didn't care much about ANC, not a priority for me ambient sound is. Good battery, sound, comfortable, everything. Pixel buds 1 were just meh, Bose soundsport free were too heavy and uncomfortable but sound great, Bose soundsport wireless were great until I got sick of the wire. Next buds I want to try are one of Sony linkbuds 2 whenever they come out, Soundcore AeroFit Pro Open-Ear, or SHOKZ OpenFit Open-Ear. I'd like to try a good open ear earbud/headphones as earbuds seem to really be messing up peoples hearing, mine includes. It's not bad, could just be "age" but 28 so I don't know.

I agree. I have my QC Ultra headphones and love them. Great ANC, the 3-band EQ is more than enough for me, and they have all day comfort. Even after testing out Sony’s WH-1000XM6, I don’t feel the need to switch to those like I did back with the QC45. Their Bluetooth speakers are even great and pack a punch above their size. The Soundlink Flex 2 has more bass and gets almost as loud as the JBL Charge 6 that’s almost twice as big. I’d even argue that the Ultra Open earbuds are nice. My original pair didn’t have any issues and I picked up a pair of their Lisa colab ones, they’ve still been solid. But in-ear wireless earbuds have been terrible. I remember the old Soundsport wireless with the wire between them, they were awful. The true wireless version of those were also bad as were the QC30. I wanted to like the QC earbuds 1, but hated them and couldn’t use each pair I went through. Same with the QC earbuds II. I haven’t even tried the newer QC earbuds. I have a pair of the QC Ultras, it’s my 5th or 6th pair and they’re still buggy. But I’m waiting until the second gen to exchange them, again, with Bose. I’ve had my QC Ultra headphones for almost 2 years now and haven’t had a single issue, they were a launch pair. But the QC earbuds and other wireless in-ear earbuds? Terrible. I’ve never been a fan of their soundbars, not when Samsung’s bars cost much less and sonically perform similarly or, for Bose’s prices for a complete surround, you can just get Sony’s expensive surround speakers that are stupid easy to setup and have a phenomenal Atmos experience.

I’ve had a pair of Bose SoundSports for about 5 years and love them. I use them for 5/6 hours per week, and though the battery only holds a charge for about two hours now, they still sound great. Battery held up fantastically for about the first three years.

I use Bose Sound Sport which have flexible plastic ear clips/hooks to keep them in my ear. They have about 75 feet of connection and never have had an issue of them falling out doing box jumps, burpees, or dubs - high impact bouncing. They're not cheap but I've had them for over four years and still love them.

No thanks I still use my sounds sports cuz there the only ones that stay in my ear

Apple AirPods for when at the desk and need to take calls. Super comfy and amazing sound for both. And Bose SoundSport for home when doing chores or working out or taking dogs for walk (also calls are excellent). 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.

i too am on the soundsports hahah going on maybe 4 years as well. I've been prowling threads to see anything in that low 100s price range to replace them because the battery doesn't last as long as it used to. do you have any earbud recs?

What’s crazy is I’ve been using Bose soundsports for 4 years straight at the gym and have no issues lol. My QCs, both in and over ear, same, no issues. The only reason I’m moving away from them is their lack of aptx lossless. Otherwise I haven’t experienced those issues. I used to work for the company and when they shut our store down, we knew the quality was dropping. It’s not the same Bose as it was 20 years ago

I do wish airpods had little wings to tuck into the ear for security, it’s the one thing that holds me back from them as otherwise they make sense. Been rocking Bose Soundsport wireless for the past 4 or so years, love the secure fit

I LOVED the Bose sound sport and I'm so disappointed they stopped making them. The Bose sport buds that replaced them are just not the same. The so not stay in my ears properly and they are always falling out.

I’ve had the Bose sports, aftershokz, and Jabra. My favorite is just the AirPod Pros.
