Review on Bose SoundSport Truly Wireless Headphones Headphones by Dimitar Manolov ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A reliable product for all occasions, the quality is at the level.

I purchased it at the start of the 2019 September semester. The headphones are big and hefty, and after the first week of wearing them, my ears were exhausted. The included ear hooks come in a variety of sizes, ensuring a secure fit no matter how vigorously you shake your head, but should you accidentally strike something with them, the ear hook will likely rip out and the earrings will fall to the ground. Additional dangers: The other party can hear you clearly when you're on the phone, but only if you're using the appropriate earpiece. Also, you can plug in just the right earbud and hear nothing through the left ear. Their case is not only two to three times as large as the case for AirPods, but it also has the appearance of a rolled-up rubbish bag and the form of a bar of soap, making it extremely difficult to hold onto, especially when wearing gloves. It's true that it has a high capacity; I charge mine once every four days, and the charging process just takes a few hours. The headphones' buttons were designed with the principle "so as not to be accidentally pressed" in mind; to press them, you'll need to not only hold the earpiece from below, but also strain your upper finger to press them, and the device makes its own decision about whether or not to function when it's cold (the earpiece, however, continues to play normally). The headphones' built-in equalizer boosts the lows and mutes the highs, making the music appear incredibly loud. This effect is especially obvious when listening to rap. They won't fall out if you're riding a bike in the wind, but the sound quality will suffer because the wind will whistle through the speakers. The following quibbles are associated with the steep price tag: For fifteen grand, you won't get a power supply kit, just a wire. In addition, the left earbud's audio can occasionally drop off for a split second before resuming normally; this is an issue shared by all truly wireless headphones but one that Bose, given its high price point, should address. They are enormous, with a 1 cm protrusion on each side. Even in the St. Petersburg subway, their level is loud enough to make up for the lack of noise cancellation. We've heard enough in the past 5 hours.

Pros
  • Superb quality sound for a truly wireless earpiece; can withstand the elements and be as tough as an AK-47
Cons
  • Even though they cost the same as a xiomi, these headphones are a pain to use because of their bulky design and numerous other drawbacks, some of which are detailed below.
