What’s the difference between Bose Sport Earbuds and Bose SoundSport Free headphones?
Bose Sport Earbuds are 40% smaller than SoundSport Free. They also feature touch controls, instead of buttons. And they offer improved wireless reliability and dual-bud calling.
What’s the difference between Bose Sport Earbuds and Bose QuietComfort Earbuds?
Bose Sport Earbuds are a little smaller and more compact than Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. However, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds feature noise cancelling technology while Bose Sport Earbuds don’t.
What’s the difference between StayHear Max tips and StayHear+ Sport tips?
Bose StayHear Max tips are designed to allow each earbud to sit closer to your head, while also providing a better seal, which results in better bass and overall audio sound.
Are Bose Sport Earbuds sweat and weather resistant?
Yes. Bose Sport Earbuds have passed IPX4 testing, which means the electronics inside are protected against splashing water in case you get caught in the rain on a run or work up a sweat.
What happens when I remove the right bud from my ear?
When you take the right bud out of your ear, it will automatically pause your content in both buds. The right bud also enables auto-answering phone calls when placed in your right ear. Note: these features are configurable through the Bose Music app.

Product Description
Bose Sport Earbuds are designed to energize your exercise with acclaimed lifelike sound and a comfortable secure fit. Get ready to beat your personal best, again and again.
Bose patented acoustic port design and premium, high-efficiency drivers combine to deliver big sound from a small acoustic package. Bose signature Volume-Optimized Active EQ automatically adjusts the bass, midrange, and treble based on how loud or soft you play your music. And Bose new StayHear Max tips create an airtight seal with your ear canal — critical for hearing the deep low notes that add impact and emotion to your music and for blocking the ambient noise around you so you can focus on your music and your workout.
Bose Sport Earbuds come with three sizes of StayHear Max tips, so you can find the right fit for you. Every surface that touches your ear is made of soft silicone. Meanwhile, the unique umbrella-shaped tip and the extended flexible wing keep your Bose Sport Earbuds securely in place — without need of an ear hook — no matter how much you shake your head or jump up and down.
Bose Sport Earbuds go through rigorous quality testing for durability. They’re also rated IPX4 for water resistance, which means they’re protected against sweat and light rain. The electronics inside are wrapped in special materials that protect them from moisture, so your earbuds stay in top shape, just like you.
Bose Sport Earbuds feature a capacitive touch interface. On the right Earbud, tap to play or pause music and to answer calls. And on the left Earbud, double-tap to engage a Shortcut function of your choice like checking your battery level. If you get a phone call, instead of interrupting your workout, simply tap the right Earbud or press and hold it to reject. If you answer, you’ll hear the call clearly in both ears. Meanwhile, your caller will hear you clearly, too — thanks to the beam forming microphone array that separates your voice from surrounding noise.
Bose Sport Earbuds provide up to 5 hours of battery life per charge. They’re charged by placing them in the included charging case. If the case is charged, it will automatically charge the earbuds. The status lights on each Earbud will pulse white, while they charge before turning solid white and then off when fully charged. When the case is fully charged, it can provide a 15-minute quick charge for up to 2 more hours or two full charges for up to 10 more hours.
Bose Sport Earbuds offer complete freedom of movement. As long as you’re within 30 feet (9 meters) of your device, you’ll hear whatever you’re playing. And with Bose custom-designed antennas hidden inside each Earbud, dropouts are rare.
Bose Sport Earbuds connect to the free Bose Music app, which lets you name your earbuds, set the controls the way you like them, check your battery, and more.

Before these earbuds, I was using Shure wired earbuds for my rides. Those earbuds were not necessarily meant for my type of training, especially when I sweat as much as I do when I ride. I landed on the Bose SoundSports for their proposed protection from sweat and their earbud design. I have used Bose SoundSports a couple of generations ago and I always preferred their emphasis on fitting the concha of the ear as opposed to the traditional inner ear canal fit.
Pros -
* The fit is quite comfortable for me. I cannot stand traditional IEMs for their extremely uncomfortable fit (just my opinion), especially if I plan on using them for several hours straight. The size earbud I chose is close to the original SoundSports I used four years ago. After a couple of rides, I could hardly feel them. The tight fit also prevents any wiggle room or potential for falling out, so when I'm in the drops or sprinting I'm not concerned at all about these running away.
* They are not completely sound-proof, which is great for me when I need to listen to traffic and other people while riding. This means I can start a ride wearing these and not have to take them off other than to talk to people and to take breaks.
* The automation is really useful actually. Automatically detecting when the right earbud has left my ear to pause music, then detecting when I put it back on to resume music is probably my favorite of this aspect. Answering calls by putting on the earbud is okay too, but in reality by the time you open the case and put on the earbud (plus the time it takes to connect to your device) your incoming call has probably already ended. But, going back to the first bit of automation, there's honestly no better feeling than riding up to a friend, taking out the right earbud, and stopping your music with little to no effort. I'm sure other earbuds do this too, but I'm new to the true wireless scene.
* The touch controls make riding without pulling out your phone an easy feat. The option to skip tracks with a double-tap on the left bud, play/pause with a double tap on the right bud, and now a swipe up or down to adjust the volume all help me keep my attention on the road.
* The call quality is amazing, according to everyone I call while wearing these. I speak softly and mumble sometimes out of habit, but these earbuds adjust and pick up even the softest of rumblings I might mutter. They also amplify my voice enough to be heard by everyone involved in a call, thus improving my ability to articulate points beyond belief. These earbuds have made it into my daily carry because of this.
* So far, these have been completely impervious to sweat. I'm almost afraid that I'm going to break them in time because since buying them two months ago I have not had a need to clean them in any way (besides the actual rubber earbuds). Hopefully, these will continue to resist all the sweat I throw at them (which is a lot considering that I wear jawbreaker glasses and have helmet straps pooling sweat around my ear).
* The battery life is strong and perfect for my use. Since my typical training ride lasts anywhere from 1:45 to 2 hours, I never have to worry about battery life. Even during my extra long rides, I can very easily take a break from my music, let them charge for 30 or so minutes, and continue my ride without care for battery life at all.
In-betweeners -
* The sound quality is a bit more trebly than the Shure earbuds I used. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for me. I definitely don't mind more or less bass than usual. Some people might choose against these for this reason.
* Being a Bluetooth device, the connection between the earbuds and your device cannot always be perfect. I went from using wired to wireless and I had to learn this the hard way. I believe it's a fact of life for me now, but this is something that will only get better with time (I hope). Intermittently, my music will cut in and out as if I'm getting a call, then resume as normal. My phone also seems to be the culprit with a lot of other Bluetooth issues. Using IP voice comm apps like Teams or Discord will cause the microphone to produce this "shrill noise". I can work around this by using those apps on my work phone instead, so I definitely don't blame the earbuds at all for this. Otherwise, the call quality is excellent.
* These are very reliant on the Bose app. Because I am just getting into the latest generation of Bose products, I was really unaware of this aspect before buying the earbuds. Not saying this would've deterred me, but it does make joining the product to other devices a little more complicated. It's definitely possible to connect these earbuds to your phone without the Bose app, but doing so makes you lose out on all of the extra functionality and the earbuds play at a much lower volume than they're capable of with the Bose app.
Cons-
* Taking calls with these earbuds while riding a bike is not possible. The wind blasting into the microphones renders them completely useless during calls, so every call I get (depending on the urgency) will require me to pull over and take a break. This happens at speeds as low as 10-15 mph, so really these cannot function for calls whatsoever while riding a bike.
* While I praised the fit initially, in the beginning, I did have issues finding the perfect size earbud for me. The type of earbud has changed from the earlier generations of Bose SoundSports to now, so I did have a hard time adapting to the different fit. My ears were a bit sore in the beginning, but, as I said before, I eventually adapted and now I can hardly tell I'm wearing them.
There's honestly not a whole lot more I can say about these earbuds. This is all just off the top of my head... All in all, these earbuds have out-preformed in almost every way I expected. I bought them really only to listen to music on my rides without being burdened with a wire, and now I can't imagine not using them daily for calls and such.
ignore reviews that say it is missing this or that functionality. Why? because bose and sony sell other models with all of the functionality you could wish for! want noise cancelling? just buy that version!
adding better controls, noise cancelling, all the stuff these don't have costs more and makes the products bigger and the cases bigger and brings a ton of issues of their own. with noise-cancelling earbuds you'll hear a wind noise etc or it won't work right.
Personally I only care about sound quality and comfort, and these are the perfect balance. they feel great in your ears, so much so that you can wear them all day.
the soft fins make it so it is really hard for them to come out accidentally.
bluetooth connection is PERFECT not only that the buds know when you take them out and disconnect.
I read a critical review that hinged on having to have the case to reconnect. I've had this experience only if I fumble around with them and put them in and out of the case really quickly. the big complaint was that they were running without the case and couldn't re-link it. this seems silly to me since the case is so small it is not a big issue to carry it if you feel like it. also the connection / reconnection thing works totally flawlessly.
the battery life is amazing! the reviews and description don't give a good sense of how great it is. the headphones yes have 5-8 hour battery life, but the case also has a battery, so when you set them in the phones recharge. this creates kind of a loop so that the phones charge off the case constantly. I never notice the battery going down and I have to charge the case something like once a week. they wouldn't say that in the description but it is something like 7 days of continuous use!
Personally I think noise cancelling in in-ear headphones is kind of stupid. It can't be as good, uses more power, and do you really want that in a sport earphone? I like to be a little bit aware when I'm running so I can hear cars. having it in your ear blocks a ton of sound anyway.
the silicon tips are reason enough to buy these. they have a wide flange so they aren't intrusively stuck deep into your ears. in-ear always grosses me out because they collect earwax but since these rest on a wider surface they don't go far into the ear canal and make a soft seal so you don't have that problem. the wingtips are silky smooth and won't hurt your ears at all. If you like to listen to music while you work or work out these are perfect. plus they are waterproof and discreet. I love wearing just one and listening to podcasts, it is totally hidden by my hair and makes it way easier to talk on the phone.
seriously don't listen to people complaining about these and read the complaints carefully. do you really want noise cancelling and phone controls on both buds? go ahead and buy that model. It is way bigger, not waterproof, and noise cancelling is annoying. If you want the perfect earbud for working out and daily use you found it.
Brilliant sound coming out of these guys. It also comes with different sized ear bud thingies so you can pick what suits your comfort level.
They are not noise cancelling for those of us who don't prefer that function in the gym but Bose does not disappoint with the sound. It's still kicking. Great bass. There is another version of these with ANC if that tickles your fancy.
I've sweated in these things for hours and they are still going strong.
ALSO, they are easy to clean, so hygiene is taken care of as long as you care to do so.
The only thing that I wish bose had was a carrier case for the case like how beats has theirs.

(I bought these to replace 3-year-old Bose Sport Free earbuds which battery life has become too short for my workouts after three years and over 500 charge-discharge cycles.)
