I just put my Bose Sports through the wash and regretfully went to JB Hi-Fi expecting to part with $150 - $200. Explained to the guy that I listened to audio books mainly, under ear protection whilst on the tools, but would also use them for the occasional walk, public transport scroll and phone calls whilst pottering around the house. I.e. cheap and cheerful, but do the job. He suggested J Lab Go Air Pop. I was like “ummm are you sure, they’re ONLY $50” and he was adamant that they were the best. I got bright pink ones to spark joy, they have their own USB cord attached (great for me, but maybe not suitable for USB-C or micro users?) and they fully held their charge for the first 4 days of 8 hour use. 2 weeks in, I love them. Oh! They also price matched Harvey Norman at $34. Highly recommend.
I went from Bose Sport wired, not noise cancelling, that's dangerous. Then I went to Bose Sport Bluetooth, not noise cancelling. The one where the two earbuds were attached. (I didn't like the idea of being able to so easily lose a little earbud, still don't.) Then when those died I went to Shokz open ear, the one that's all one piece. Because still don't like the idea of being able to lose a single earbud. These are the best yet. I was able to try them on in a store first and pair my phone to see how they sounded. Super cool, them love. Safest option yet. I use them in the gym and on the treadmill also, and they're great there too.
I have Bose Sport buds, really good grip and sound quality. I think they are discontinued tho. E: as they have no anc, high wind disturbs the sound.
Ive always used bose sport or the quiet comforts because of how they fit. My old pair of sports are going on about 6-7 years but barely hold a charge. They are my backups, while one of my 3 year old quiet comforts just stopped working completely. I bought the Jlab ANC sport earbuds and they have been excellent. 1/3rd the price of Bose and honestly sound better IMO. the jlab app is nice and the be aware mode is great for running or activities when you're around others.
I use Bose sport for biking and hard work because the AirPods Pro 2 don’t stay in place.
Au début j'avais des écouteurs filaires, pas pratique du tout, le fil s'est cassé avec les mouvements. Puis je suis passé au sans fil, quelque chose de simple, ça n'a pas tenu longtemps avec la transpiration (3 jours). Et donc je me suis dirigé vers un modèle sport résistant à la transpiration et toujours sans fil (Bose écouteurs sport earbuds) jusqu'à maintenant il tient le coup, aucun problème. Après chaque séance j'enlève les embouts que je lave avec une eau savonneuse et je tamponne les écouteurs sur ma serviettes. J'attends que ça soit sec pour les remettre dans la petite boîte de recharge et voilà et ça va faire 2 ans que je les ai.
Agreed. I had a great pair of noise cancelling in ear headphones from Bose. It seems to have become fashionable for audiophiles, particularly in America I have to say, to hate on Bose unconditionally.
In any major market? How could you possibly claim that? Have you been to every nation that has Bose products and studied this? I had a pair of in ear headphones from Bose that were really very good indeed and they were decent value. Here, in Scotland.
I have a pair from that series and I don't mind them. I did prefer my Bose sports ones though. They were more comfortable and stayed in much better.
I had a very good pair of sports in ear headphones from Bose.
I use either my Beats studio pros or my Bose sport ear buds
I either use my Bose sport earbuds or my beats studio pro bt headphones. Depends on where I'm at really. I use the Bose when I'm out and about and the beats at the house.
