Product details

The first completely wireless in-ear headphones from Bose deliver lifelike, powerful sound. The headphones offer a secure fit and maximum wearing comfort.
Numerous technologies motivate you during training so that you can always achieve new top performances. Bose has paid attention to every detail in the development of the headphones. The circuits have been optimized for a better sound experience and the antenna has been realigned to amplify the Bluetooth signal. The result: headphones that deliver clear sound and reliable connectivity whether your smartphone is in your hand, in your pocket, in a holder on your arm, or on the shelf of a fitness machine. And without any wires. These headphones offer the highest wearing comfort and secure fit in a unique combination. This is because the specially shaped StayHear+ Sport inserts fit comfortably and evenly against the ear and the flexible silicone wings naturally adapt to the curvature of the ear. And despite the stable seat, the ear tips offer maximum wearing comfort. This allows you to concentrate fully on your workout and achieve new heights of performance. Years of training are required for top sporting performance. The same applies to the sound reproduction of headphones. For decades, Bose has been dedicated to creating better and better sound experiences. Bose's specially tuned EQ and digital signal processing ensure that music sounds powerful and balanced at any volume. Thanks to these technologies, you can enjoy your favourite music even at peak times in the gym with a powerful top sound that motivates you to new best performances. Headphones and moisture usually don't get along very well. But Bose has found a solution to this problem. By using a water-repellent mesh material at the openings, the electronics are optimally protected inside. Sweat or rain can therefore not harm the headphones - and from now on nothing will stop you from training. One battery charge gives you up to five hours of playback - enough power for almost any workout. And when you're done, simply place them in the transport case for loading, because they're safely stored there. It also provides two additional charges - up to 10 hours of battery life for the next workouts. And a 15-minute quick charge extends the playback time by another 45 minutes. Did you lose one of the Earbuds? No problem. The Bose Connect app makes it easy to locate him. And this is just the beginning. You can also use the app to manage all Bluetooth connections and switch between different playback devices at any time. The Connect App also provides access to software updates, product information, and individual settings for your headphones.

Starker Sound im Test: Die Bose Soundsport Free zählen zu den komplett kabellosen In-Ear-Kopfhörern mit der besten Soundqualität. In der Fliegengewicht-Klasse sind sie zwar auffallend groß, trotzdem lassen sie sich noch gut verstauen und sitzen fest und bequem im Ohr. Auch die Akkulaufzeit ist gut, aber nicht überragend...

Die Bose SoundSport Free bieten einen sicheren Halt im Ohr und eine vergleichsweise lange Akkulaufzeit, auch der Sound war in Ordnung. Preislich liegen sie mit 200 Euro gerade noch so im Rahmen für komplett kabellose In-Ear-Kopfhörer. Allerdings scheinen sie sich nicht für jeden Sportler zu eignen...
