Excellent wireless reliability ; Fun bass ; Decent HR sensor ; More comfy than they look

Short battery life

Not quite perfect, but these are the best-sounding pair of wireless in-ears we’ve tested

The Bose SoundSport Pulse headphones are a wireless in-ear pair with the rather uncommon feature of a built-in heart-rate monitor. They're clearly designed for exercise, but will they take your morning run to new heights or the pits of despair? We sent...

Bose SoundSport Pulse wireless earbuds review: Chunky runners

They're big and heavy, but these $200 sport headphones track heart rate and balance sound for running.

Strong bass sound ; Thick, heavy cord that doesn't tangle ; Great microphone ; Reliable pulse tracker ; Good app support

Expensive ; Weak high-end sound ; Short battery life

The Bose SoundSport Wireless headphones are big and chunky, but they're well-suited for exercise and they support popular running apps.

Bose is like the Honeybadger, they don't give a

This product can only be used for listening. The microphone is useless. Look up all the complaints and threads about mic background noise. And all Bose does to respond is post some canned reply and has yet to address the issue. Borderline class action...

Heart Rate Monitor is HORRIBLE

Have only used once, but the HR monitor stoping music to let me know if has not or has found my heart rate drives me crazy. Wish I would have purchased set without the HR monitor.
