Bose Sport Open Earbuds are truly different sports headphones. That’s because they’re the first of their kind that don’t go in your ears. Instead, they combine exclusive Bose OpenAudio technology with a unique open-ear headphones design to produce high-quality sound without covering your ears. Hear your music and your surroundings at the same time. These entirely new, entirely open wireless headphones will help you push your limits, while not missing a thing. Meticulously molded to follow the natural curve of your ears and with a matte finish that provides additional grip, these workout headphones stay comfortable and secure during rigorous exercise. They’re sprint tested and burpee approved. Plus, they’re sweat and weather resistant with an IPX4 rating. Bose Sport Open Earbuds play up to eight hours at a time on a single charge and come with a charging base so your wireless running headphones are always ready to go. An advanced mic system makes for crystal-clear calls, while controls on the open earbuds let you play/pause, take calls, tap to control the volume (optional) and access Siri or Google Assistant. The Bose Music app gives you access to future updates, a simple set-up and more for your Bose open-ear headphones.

RTINGS

The best headphones we've tested for running outdoors are the Bose Sport Open Earbuds Truly Wireless. These wireless buds offer a unique advantage over the Jaybird Vista 2 Truly Wireless as they have an open-ear design. This means they keep your ear canal free of obstructions and don't block out sound, allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings if you're jogging in a park or alongside a busy road.

These headphones have ear hooks to ensure that they stay in place while you're running. Their build feels sturdy and durable, and they're rated IPX4 for resistance against splashes of water, which is good if you get caught in the rain. Although they lack low-bass due to their open-back design, they have a very balanced mid-range, so they're a solid choice if you listen to vocal-centric genres like podcasts or audiobooks. Their 9.5-hour continuous battery life should also last through long runs without an issue.

They have a bulky design that can put pressure behind your ear and can be tricky to wear if you have glasses. They also use a proprietary charging cable, so if you misplace or lose it, you'll need to buy a new cable directly from the manufacturer. Their companion app doesn't offer sound customization features either. These headphones have a unique design that's suitable for running outdoors.

The &Beta;ose Sport Open Earbuds Truly Wireless are the best Bluetooth earbuds for running outdoors that we've tested. Their design doesn't cover or block your ears, so you can easily stay aware of your surroundings and listen to audio at the same time. They have ear hooks to help give them a stable fit, so they stay in place even during intense workouts.

They're very sturdy and rated IPX4 for water resistance, meaning they can withstand minor water exposure like very light rain. While their open-ear design means they don't reproduce the thump and rumble of low bass, their sound packs a bit of extra boom to help keep you pumped up during long runs. Their mid-range response is also very neutral, so voices reproduce clearly, which is important if you like to listen to podcasts or audiobooks while you exercise. Their battery lasts for about nine hours off of a single charge.

Unfortunately, they use a proprietary charging cable, making it more difficult to borrow a replacement if you forget it at home. They also lack app support and don't come with any sound customization features like an EQ or presets. Otherwise, they're a great choice for runners or anyone who wants to hear their surroundings during workouts.

Wirecutter

If you need to hear the world around you but also want music, this pair delivers good sound without obstructing your ears. But not everyone is a fan of their unusual fit.

We feel a bit bizarre labeling the Bose Open Sport earbuds as earbuds because they lack, well, the bud. As opposed to traditional earbuds, these things do not go in your ears so much as they go over and around your ears. We are hardly complaining, though; the unique shape of these buds informs all of the rest of the features we love about them. As they are not stuck in your ears, they are extremely comfortable — so much that we sometimes forgot we were wearing them. The little bit of distance that comes from where the micro speakers are placed relative to your ears adds to a fuller soundscape and some of the most impressive full, warm, and booming bass we have heard out of an earbud. 
By nature of their not fitting directly into your ears, these buds lack the Active Noise Reduction that seems to have become industry standard for most other Bluetooth earbuds. Also, they lack the convenience of a charging carrying case, which is becoming standard among earbud competitors. They make up for this shortfall several times over however with their peak athletic performance. One of our testers was able to hang completely upside down without these devices falling off her ears. Because of their exceptional sound quality and athletic performance, we highly recommend these earbuds for outdoor use, where they exceed just about any of the competition. 

The Bose Open Sport is a very unique entree into the earbud field, as they aren't exactly earbuds. They utilize weighted fins that sit on top of your ears, and there aren't buds that go in your ear. This design has several advantages. First off, since they're not inside your ears, you can hear your surroundings more, giving you increased situational awareness when running or biking outdoors. You also don't need to worry about them getting sweaty and wriggling out of your ears. Bose is well recognized for high-quality audio, and these are no exception, featuring clear highs and mid, plus powerful bass sounds.
The Bose Open Sport model doesn't have active noise canceling features, which many folks rely on for working in busy coffee shops and long flights without distractions. They also lack a charging case, though they have a respectable 8-hour battery life. Despite these shortcomings, we believe they are an excellent choice for high-intensity &#40;or mellow&#41; outdoor activities like running and biking.

 Hey, TeddiK here for the Best Buy Blog, and in this video review we took a look at the Bose Sport Open Earbuds, true wireless headphones that have a unique look and fit and listening experience to match. Despite their name, the Bose Sport Open Earbuds are not earbuds in the traditional or truest sense. There isn't anything kind of burrowing into your ear canal or into your inner ear, instead they rest like ear loops and they stay away from the ear but push music using what Bose calls open audio technology. It's not bone conduction, so this isn't the type of headphones where they would press up against the jawbone and sort of push the music through the bones so that you can hear them that way as opposed to hearing them through the ear

 These aren't like the ear loops that you find in other earbuds that are rubberized or flexible or have some level of adjustment to them. There's none of that. There's no give to this at all. You can't adjust it, you can't angle it, you can't bend it, none of that

 The moment you were outside or you were in a noisier place. I just found callers just didn't like the way I sounded because it was like fighting with some of the background noise. Bose says they've addressed this with microphones that are a little bit more beam forming and directional. But I think a firmware update is going to have to fix that because I just didn't experience that same thing here

 Bose says they've addressed this with microphones that are a little bit more beam forming and directional. But I think a firmware update is going to have to fix that because I just didn't experience that same thing here. Now another element here is the case. This is not a charging case

Bose Sport Open Earbuds Review

 And unfortunately, the only way to know if they're fit works is for you to try them out. As far as their sound goes, it's fairly similar to what you get with Bose's Tempo Frames audio sunglasses, although I thought the sound was slightly better with these, even though their speaker drivers are smaller. The Tempo's employ 22 millimeter drivers, whereas these have 60 millimeter drivers. But I think how they sit a little closer to your ear does improve the sound quality a bit, particularly in the bass department

 The quiet comfort earbuds also have active noise canceling. These, on the other hand, feature an open design without a tip, meaning the bud part sits on top of your ear and fires sound into your ear canal from a short distance away. The earbuds are the first to use Bose's open audio technology, not bone conduction. That's the same technology that Bose uses in its $250 frames audio sunglasses

 I got used to them being on my ears and I found they fit pretty comfortably and securely, though they aren't super comfortable. I was able to run with them without a problem. They stayed right on my ears and they really are designed for running and biking because they leave your ears open so you can hear traffic for obvious safety reasons. There are going to be plenty of people who just aren't going to like how they feel on their ears

 And I will say that these actually sound best at 50 to 75% volume rather than cranking them to 90 or 100%. So you may actually end up getting 6 to 7 hours if you keep the volume in check. These don't have touch controls. Rather, they have a single little button on each bud for controlling playback, though there are currently no volume controls on the buds themselves

Bose Sport Open Earbuds review: looks crazy but sounds good!

 That's not what these are for. Anyone who's going too deep into the sound quality is overthinking things. These are not headphones-for-all-occasions, so if that's what you're looking for, keep looking. The isolation is really impressive though -- even in a quiet room, I can't hear what's being played from these once I'm maybe 18" away from them

 I've been disappointed on several occasions to grab them from my bag only to find them dead. I do hope the charge-in-case functionality other reviewers have mentioned is introduced in a future model; personally I don't mind needing a dedicated charger, but that combined with mediocre battery life is kind of a drag.  I generally use these for walking so haven't put them through the paces of more intense exercise, but am pretty impressed at their stability. It definitely feels like they could withstand more of a beating than I put them through

  Battery life is so-so... haven't done precise testing to get an exact number here, but it feels like the battery life while not in use is only a few days

  These unfortunately seem to be unusable for calls. I like to walk while on calls for work and have had multiple people tell me either the wind noise is so significant they can't understand me, or that the connection is just plain bad (which is always fixed by switching to my phone or my QC headphones).  Battery life is so-so.

I like them... I don't love them

 And again, the comfort, it's super uncomfortable. It's not good. That's dumb. That's stupid

 It sits there and it kind of sounds like there's a speaker somewhere near you. And these kind of have that feeling too. But you feel just a little bit more bass off the bat. That's what they do

 It was weird. It was like a voice was inside my head. These, I mean, these just sounded like a little speaker near my ear. Really good quality, again, but not really giving me the good bone conduction vibe

Bose BONE CONDUCTION!? Bose Open Earbuds: An Honest Review

 It's like I told Bose to make the perfect product for me, so not a Bose hater. Also, to prop up the open buds for my personal experience, my wife, who steals all my earbuds, mostly AirPods, recently grabbed the open buds and would not give them back. I told her I need them for testing, and she glared at me like a rabid animal. I asked her if they're comfortable, and she said not too bad, which means 10 stars

 And unprompted said the sound is pretty good, which is like 15 stars. In our house, I don't hate it is a 9.5 stars. She has little girly ears, so the open buds are a little loose

 A gentle squeeze, not like the brains are coming out of your nose. Bonus, it can hang out around your neck, which I find extremely convenient. It's a personal preference. Earbuds people will counter that they won't fit in your pocket

 The open buds will keep the open ear comfort I've become accustomed to while taking the sound to the next level. That was the hope anyway. These headphones did push the sound a bit, but pooed the bed on the comfort. The Achilles heel really is the rigid design

Bose Sport Open Earbuds vs. Aftershokz Aeropex: Best Open Ear Headphones?

I bought the new Bose earbuds because of the wing tips. I’m not a huge fan of the type of earbuds where you have to insert it in like an earplug because it really gets uncomfortable for me after like 15 minutes. Now, I’m going to be honest; The sennheisers really sound better. I just love how comfortable the wing tips are on the Bose that I’m willing to sacrifice a step or two below the Sennheisers

 The app keeps insisting I do this.  Further, on day three of using these, the app "lost" my configuration data for the one and only headset "attached" to it, sending me back through the sign-in/sign-up gauntlet again as if I were launching the app for the first time following install.  Connectivity issues aside, they sound great for being a "not-in-ear" headset. But the app and switching  As of this review, I am hovering on whether to return them

I purchased this to replace my QC-35s (and QC-20s) because the 35s are hot and bulky, and because it was difficult to hear ambient noise around me. These were my second choice to the Jabra Active Elite 65+ which would not stay in my ears, but had MUCH MUCH better app support, and more easily switches between devices. I routinely switch between mobile and laptop communications (Zoom, phone call, Duo, etc.) The Bose would not switch at all

 It took disconnecting and in some cases re-pairing with my two devices to get it to work. No firmware updates as of the date of this review. (FWIW, my QC-35s are infinitely better at switching between devices.)  I don't like to be pestered with "sign-up/sign-in" messages; these are earbuds, no need

  Connectivity issues aside, they sound great for being a "not-in-ear" headset. But the app and switching  As of this review, I am hovering on whether to return them. A rather large step backward from Bose.

Does not switch between devices easily; app needs work.

Wired, good sound quality, not too heavy on bass, comfortable for wearing nearly all day, (and won't give someone wearing glasses a headache). Preferable would be as cheap as possible, (100$ at the absolute max, 50$ and under ideally), but I know that's asking for a lot lol. Hard to find good electronics these days. Seems like everything costs an arm or a leg or it's just absolute crap, or both

I'm finally admitting that the sony headphones I have had for three years now, suck. I need to find something new to jam out.

 The ear loops are rigid don't fit snugly behind the ear. I primarily use then during low impact excercise (weights, indoor rowing, indoor cycling) so I can't speak to the security during more strenuous activity (running, outdoor cycling, etc.).  The tiny button on the earbuds are not convenient, and it's challenging to adjust volume by tapping the earbuds

 For "on the ear" sound quality, these are what I would expect from Bose. They are not uncomfortable but I do find them challenging to get on in such a way that they feel secure enough not to fall off. The ear loops are rigid don't fit snugly behind the ear. I primarily use then during low impact excercise (weights, indoor rowing, indoor cycling) so I can't speak to the security during more strenuous activity (running, outdoor cycling, etc

I gave these 3 stars, but it's more like 2.5. For "on the ear" sound quality, these are what I would expect from Bose. They are not uncomfortable but I do find them challenging to get on in such a way that they feel secure enough not to fall off

 They aren't terribly responsive.  I agree with other reviewers regarding battery life and chargning features. The battery life is TERRIBLE and they do not charge quickly. If you don't leave them constantly charging when not in use, you will be lucky to have 10% battery life when you go to use them

Good sound quality; functionality lacking
