Powerful audio and sleek design
So what makes these better than Apple AirPods? Well, audio quality. One of the biggest criticisms of the AirPods is that they produce flat and humdrum audio. However, the Bose SoundSport Free True Wireless Earbuds feature impressive sound clarity and power that you’d come to expect from such an iconic brand. If you want to customize your own audio experience, you can calibrate the earbuds with the Bose Connect App for Android or Apple iPhones.
“Excellent audio quality, very good bass and the sound almost seems too clean to be earbuds,” wrote a five-star Amazon reviewer. “I’ve taken them out for a run, the gym and even skating and they are anchored in my ears all the time.”
Great for workouts
The Bose SoundSport Free earbuds are water-resistant and sweat-proof, so you won’t have to worry that they’re going to conk out if you get them wet, unlike the Apple AirPods. With their comfortable in-ear design, they’re built for workouts. In fact, they come with three silicone ‘StayHear and Sport’ eartips of various sizes, so you can find the fit that works best for you.
Just pop these babies in your ears and enjoy up to 15 hours of battery life, listening to your favorite songs and podcasts while you’re out for a run.
The Bose earbuds “have not ever cut out and the sound is superior to any wired earbuds I have used [and] that includes Apple buds,” added a satisfied shopper. “They are comfortable and fit snug, I can't hear any surrounding noise at all...the [bass] is unbelievable as you would expect from Bose.”
“They are perfect,” says yet another five-star Amazon reviewer. “I've owned a long string of running earbuds, and the sound quality of this pair far exceeds anything else I've tried...I'm just thrilled to finally have found comfy, sweat-proof running earbuds that give me huge, satisfying sound.”
