PLAYLIST REVIEW: BOSE SOUNDSPORT WIRELESS BLUETOOTH HEADPHONESget with the SoundSport Wireless. That
said, I did notice that the bass they
provide is more forward than other Bose
products I’ve used in the past.
With a set of sports earbuds,
that’s a good thing: Having a little
extra thump to keep the beat as
you power through the last few
minutes of a workout or run is
always a win.
Despite the extra bass, I
found they offered more than
enough treble to allow nuances
to stand out regardless of what I
was listening to, making them a
fine choice for those with an
eclectic taste in music. As a
reminder, though, Bose
intentionally designed these earbuds to
allow for a bit of ambient noise, so you
might find yourself listening to music at
higher volumes than normal in
order to enjoy every note of
your favorite recordings.BOTTOM LINE
While they may feel a little heavy
and aren’t completely
waterproof, there’s plenty to like
about the Bose SoundSport
wireless headphones. With their
enjoyable sound, great
situational awareness, and Tile
tracking capabilities, they’ve got
what it takes to be an athlete’s
favorite workout buddy. ■mmmh

Bluetooth headphones.
