Bose SoundSport Free: Excellent AirPod alternatives

2017-10-05
remove the cord from bos is popular and highly rated sound support wireless earphones and you're left with sound sport free the company's new totally wireless earphones that come in two color options and cost two hundred and fifty dollars yes that price is $90 more expensive than Apple's air pods which have dominated the totally wireless headphone market and the wireless headphone market in general but the sound sport free are a compelling alternative to the air pods because they fit securely and comfortably deliver rich sound and are as easy to operate as the air pods with almost flawless wireless performance my only gripe is the same one levelled at the sound sport wireless the buds stick out rather conspicuously from your ears while they aren't equipped with Apple's custom W one Bluetooth chip bose claims that like the air pods they'll deliver up to five hours of battery life and the included charging case provides two additional full charges for up to ten additional hours of battery life there's sweat resistant with an ipx4 water resistance rating and there's a new find my buds feature on the bose connect app that displays the last time in place they were used to help locate them should they get lost the integrated remote is on the right gear bud and I didn't have a problem skipping tracks forward and raising and lowering volume you can also use the multifunction button to answer and end calls it's worth noting that when making calls the sound only comes out of the right ear bud but it does work well as a mono headset these are fuller sounding than the air pods delivering more bass and letting in less ambient noise thanks to the more sealed off design of the included State year plus sport tips which come in a few different sizes in fact like the sound sport Wireless the base is a little bit accentuated and may seem too pronounced and loose for some people when listening indoors in a quiet environment but these are designed to be used outside or at the gym in noisy environments where you can lose some based competing sounds so they sound more balanced when you're walking or running with them outside I personally like the air pods but they don't stay in my ears as securely as they do for some people who can even run with them without a problem if you're in the same boat these are an excellent totally wireless alternative they really perform like the sound Sport Wireless but leave off the cord that's hard to do
