On paper the Bose Sports Earbuds are hard to recommend over the best workout headphones from the likes of Jabra and Beats, which tend to offer more battery life and extra features like active noise cancellation in their buds.
However, I have tested a lot of great sports headphones in recent years and keep on coming back to the Bose Sport Earbuds, with the main reason for that being the comfortable fit they offer. That might not sound like much, but most sports headphones achieve a secure fit via wings, hooks or in-ear tips, and these can start to feel uncomfortable over extended use. That’s never been a problem with the Bose Sport Earbuds and it makes them a pleasure to use.
The comfortable and secure fit is backed up by great sound quality, which you would expect from Bose, and you can now tinker with the EQ on the buds via a partner app. That’s a feature that arrived via an update after the headphones launched, along with other improvements like the ability to change the volume on the buds. Bose continues to develop the Sport Earbuds, which is always a plus when splashing out on a pricy product.
This Prime Day the Bose Sport Earbuds have been reduced to $149 from their RRP of $179. It’s not the biggest discount you’ll find on sports headphones on Prime Day but it’s a welcome reduction to a great set of buds.
It’s not the only deal on Bose products in the Prime Day sales either, with the Bose Frames Tempo reduced to $199 (opens in new tab) from a RRP of $249. The Frames Tempo are sports sunglasses with speakers built-in the frames so you can listen to audio while keeping your ears completely clear, a bonus when exercising outdoors in busy areas where you need to be aware of your surroundings.
If you’re in the UK the Bose Sport Earbuds don’t seem to be included in the Prime Day sale, but the good news is they are currently either £136.99 or £149 down from £179.95 (opens in new tab), depending on the colour you opt for.
