Are these really Bose? Disappointing... Opt/ save for QC30's (or stick to corded models)
1 of 3 found this helpful After deciding on "wireless" replacements for my Soundtrue Ultra wired earphones (whose often-tangled cords eventually frayed & couldn't be replaced) & researching/ comparing a myriad of options/ reviews, finally purchased these Soundsport wireless earphones based on "how great they are".
Although the unit paired easily via Bluetooth to my multiple Apple devices and displayed great sound reproduction (ie. typical Bose quality), I found the earbuds to be quite "weighty" (ie not entirely comfortable in ear) & haven't managed to obtain a snug "ear-fit" with the interchangeable "Stayhear+ Sport" tips provided. As such, I found the buds didn't stay put/ kept falling out when moving/ walking (haven't even bothered attempting running/ exercising/ playing sport with them); the large protruding units are also "obvious", unlike the other sleek designs on offer. As a Bose devotee of 20-odd yrs (owning several different models of earphones, both over/in-ear), I have to say these Soundsport wireless headphones are a disappointment & don't believe they positively reflect the dynamic, high quality products one expects from Bose. Hope to find a fitting solution; regardless, these make an expensive lesson learnt/ "emergency back up". Re: The battery-pack... haven't used as yet but initial thought is that a clip/ clasp in addition to the strap would be handy so one could quickly/easily attach it to bag/ belt etc. Cheers.
