For most listeners, probably not. While we like the Bose SoundSport Free enough not to knock anyone who we see wearing them, we simply prefer the more affordable and better-looking Jabra Elite Active 65t. Unless you're a huge bass-head, we suspect you wil...

An expensive but great sounding pair of truly wireless headphones for sport. Great sound quality and plenty of listening time but the bold design won't suit those looking for a more discreet option...

So, the good news is that the Bose SoundSport Frees can give the very best wireless buds a serious run for their money. They sound the business and their feature-set puts some rivals to shame. But. And it's a big but. The fact they have a tendancy to dro...

Overall, the Bose SoundSport Free are decent earphones. They sound a lot better than Apple's AirPods, battery life is pretty good and connectivity is solid. They're also very friendly to use, and it's easy to switch between devices. All very positive thin...

While the Bose doesn't have some of the smart fitness features you get in the likes of the Lifebeam Vi or Jabra Elite Sport - no heart-rate or cadence measure - we'd still comfortably call the SoundSport Free the best sports earphones for pure music enjoy...
