one of the reasons that took me so long to review the bonus sound support screen wireless earbuds is because I thought $250 was way too much to pay for a pair of sports wireless earbuds given that there are so many options out there and it looks like Bose finally caught on and they lowered their price so let's check out the bose sound sport free and are they really better than air pods the bow sounds for free will release in the summer of 2017 and they initially retailed for 250 dollars but now they're going for the low low price of $200 in a highly saturated market like the sports wireless earbuds segment these are on the pricier end of the scale if you want to check these your buds out I'll have a link in the description below and if you use the link it really helped us channel regarding what you get with the bose sound sport free you don't really get much you get the charging case which is very well put together unlike your USB cable for charging and a total of three silicone ear tips that's it but first I just want to say that I don't feel the Bose sound sport free or other sports wireless earbuds for that matter should be compared directly to the air buds say what you will about their design but the air pods are tiny and meant to be used day in and day out but they aren't the best for the gym because they aren't water-resistant and they let a lot of ambient sound in compared to other sports wireless earbuds on the other hand sports wireless earbuds are like the bose sound sport free shouldn't be used outside of the gym have you seen guys trying to pull these off while walking around in the city wearing a suit the Bose sound sport free are so big they basically make them look like Frankenstein's monster walking around okay now that I got that out of my system let's get back to the matter at hand even though the Bose earbuds are very expensive both the earbuds and the case has very good build quality if you press the front button then the five LEDs will light up and show you your current battery status and if you press even harder than the case will open up and the lid has a very well designed hinge the case itself is able to supply the earbuds with 10 extra hours of battery life and the earbuds themselves are able to hold a 5 hour battery life so the bose sound support free have an advertised battery life of 15 hours I go to the gym four times a week for two hours and the both typically lasts me six full workouts so almost every week and a half I charge them up I mean they're decent but the case isn't without its problems first off yeah it's pretty big but since I just into my jet bag it doesn't really matter my main issue with the case is that the button is so hard to press since the case is so smooth and since I have to press really hard to open it up I find myself frequently dropping the whole case on the gym floor the front button is just complete mush I feel Bo's needs to go back and redesign this mechanism so it takes less effort to open and you get better tactile feedback and I also feel both should have used a USB C port instead of a micro USB port for charging okay now let's talk about the earbuds these things are huge I found that each earbud weighs in at 9 grams with the medium ear tips for comparison each earbud on the j-bird run and sole xshot weighs in as 6 and 5 grams respectively for the most part runners say that the bose earbuds have a tendency to wiggle out when they're out training obviously I'm not a runner but when I get on the terminal and do my post workout cardio the both sound sport free do like to wiggle out but when I'm weightlifting the bow sounds for free stay securely in place except for when I touch down when I'm done doing pull-ups or dips but when it comes to customization options you don't really have too many options to choose from you only have three orphan sizes to choose from and no matter which one of the three ear tips you choose from the bow sounds for free don't create a seal in your ear canal they rest right outside of it so they do let in a good amount of ambient sound in some people were like this for safety reasons and other people like myself just want to block everything out after gym but the sound quality on the bow sounds for free is actually pretty good the main thing they have going for them is clarity there's almost no tinting and the lows get surprisingly deep I actually think these sound better than the air pods and power beats 3 but they won't sound as good as the picture but they don't get as loud as the power beats 3 but they definitely get loud enough connection quality on the bose sound support free is also pretty good just keep in mind the right ear buttons the master and the left ear but is a slave so if you're gonna talk to somebody on the phone you're only gonna hear them through the right earbud and this fear is gonna talk to you she's only gonna talk to you through the right ear but as well they have a range of about 30 feet and I haven't had any connection issues unlike the Jane tour run but they do suffer from a good amount of latency when watching YouTube videos it's not as bad as the tape and run but I do expect the boughs to do a little better but when you decide to go with wireless earbuds you also sacrifice the convenience and inline controller like the one on the power beats 3 or de protects three offers so with most wireless earbuds alike the air patch or tapered run you don't have full control over your music playback so you either have to rely on your voice assistant or you have to wipe out your phone more frequently both decided to put off full set of buttons on their right ear buds and this is great without having to take your phone out you can adjust your volume player positive music skip a track go back a track and you can even activate your voice assistant on paper this sounds great but unfortunately the buttons on the right ear bud are so hard to press I just naturally end up defaulting to using my phone again pressing the planes on the right earbud is a workout in itself Bose also included another button on the left ear bud and pressing this will only tell you which device the budget connected to and I think this is a missed opportunity on Boza sport obviously bose needs to make pressing ease of these buttons much easier but I also think both should make the left point on these earbuds activate Google assistant just like the extra button on the boss you see 35 series 2 does this way the button on the left here but is way more useful the boat sounds for free also connects to the Bose Connect app and it doesn't really do much you can update their firmware adjust some settings and controlling music playback but you can't adjust your EQ or anything like that but they do have a fine my buds feature as long as you're in range you can ping each of these buds so you can find them even if they're into a case you can still pin them which is a good feature to have but other than that the both Connect app doesn't really do much to these earbuds ok and here's the microphone test for the Bose sound sport free and keep in mind only go right here but is actually picking up your voice and I actually think it sounds pretty good but this audio clip is waiting recorded by the microphone on the Bose sound for free so you can be conscious of that so to wrap things up the bow sounds port free or good but I would still shop around I'm glad to see they're selling for $200 now but I would like to see them come down to at least $170 mark again I wouldn't consider getting these over-the-air pots for day-to-day use but if you're a weightlifter at the gym then these are okay they have very good build quality they sound very good and their battery life is decent but for the bull sounds port three series two bows needs to shrink the bars down flicks the buttons under earbuds fix the button on the case and they should integrate
