  No dedicated fitness app, Better value alternatives

Bose is a big name in audio equipment and for good reason, their products are without fail great quality and sound fantastic. They also attract a rather hefty price tag for that quality, whether it’s worth that price tag isn’t something I’ve found justified from my perspective in this review.

The Bose SoundSport Pulse earphones are priced at $299 which may sound expensive to some but is in the same price range of other lesser known brands. If you want excellent sound quality, the Bose SoundSport Pulse earphones are worth every cent.

  Larger than previous model, companion app could be better.

In the current age of wearable technology it can be tempting for manufacturers to shove as many sensors and features into their products as possible. Watches are mini computers, bracelets can tell us if we've had enough sleep and earphones are slowly becoming full-on digital fitness coaches.

  Great sound quality, connection is solid and they stay in your ears

  Battery life could be better, a little chunky

I had low expectations of these for several reasons. Number one, I am not a fan of Bose products. Long ago, I liked them, but since the 90's, their product is subpar and the lack of technical specifications is off putting.Number two, my previous experience tells me audio quality suffers tremendously...

  Instructions somewhat ambiguous

I bought this soundsport 5 months ago, everything was perfect until last. It won't turn on. The red battery light blinks when I charge it. I thought it was green?? Am I right?After being charged for a while the blinking light will turn to solid light, but still, it won't turn on.

I have had these for about a week now. Love them. They connect easily and are very comfortable. Only complaint is they could get louder.

If someone doesn't give these 5 stars then they need to move to the Middle East, they are amazing, stay in your ears perfectly and sound great. The hr monitor also works as it should.

Totally amazing sound and when I workout hard the ear plug doesnt move around. I recommend this product to anyone that works out.

So comfortable you won’t even realise they are in your ears apart from the quality sound

Finally an earphone that stays in when I run! Don't even have to touch it at all, doesn't pop out or slowly creep out as I move. Love them! And the sound is fantastic also, it's Bose, I wasn't worried about that anyway.

I have been a keen runner for over seven years now and I have to listen to music when I am running, to give me that extra push when I need it when it gets tough. Therefore I have now been through quite a lot of different running headphones.

  Price, App needed for Heart Rate,

Love the sound and heart-rate monitor feature. Be sure to check for firmware updates on a regular basis.

As you would expect, the sound quality of these headphones is excellent. Although bulky, the headphones are light, stay firmly in the ear and actually look good! The ability to measure and capture details of your heartbeat during exercise is the killer feature however.
