Need a tracking feature in app
I am very disappointed that there is no way to track missing buds. This was something that was available with previous soundsport models. However other than this i absolutely love these!!

I find that it is very difficult to pair with my Android phone. So I have decided not to waste my time and throw them away. A true waste of money and time.

Great noise cancelling, fit and pairing issues
The noise cancelling on these is really great, however I've had a few issues so far. These fall out of my ears really easily. I've tried the different band and ear piece sizes, but they still feel unstable in my ears so I wouldn't be comfortable wearing these outside of the house. That being said, they are the most comfortable noise cancelling earbud I've tried. I'm als...

Response from Staples :
Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience with the earbuds. We’re glad to hear you find the noise cancelling performance and overall comfort impressive, but we’re sorry to learn about the fit and pairing issues you’ve encountered. Regarding the fit, proper wearing of the earbuds can also help improve stability. We understand how important a secure fit is, so here’s a helpful guide that may assist you: https://bose.life/4sMUWA6 As for the pairing issues, the earbuds feature multipoint connectivity, which remembers recently connected devices for easier switching. To improve pairing, try turning off Bluetooth on other nearby devices so the earbuds automatically connect to your primary device. Additionally, we recommend placing the right earbud in first, followed by the left, since the right earbud functions as the primary unit. They can still be used separately if needed. For more details, here’s another helpful link: https://bose.life/4v1RenP Hope this helps! Jelyn - Customer Support

Great Quality
So far these have been the best earbuds I’ve owned. The noise canceling is great, sound quality is excellent, and they are quite comfortable to wear even with my many ear piercings.

Love It!!!
I bought this, and it's been great so far. The only thing I hate about these earbuds is that when I have ANC mode on in the quiet mode in the app, and I go over a bump on the interstate, then it makes a loud pop noise in my ear and hurts my eardrum. The ANC is good when sitting still or walking in the hall to and from class.

Love and quiet comfort
I purchased these earbuds a couple of weeks ago. They are comfortable, deliver great sound, and act exquisitely as noise, dampening devices. The battery function is fabulous. I love them. The reason I didn’t give five stars is because at 78 the directions and videos were not quite as user-friendly as I wish they were. If I could’ve given it five stars with an*to explai...

Made me a Bose customer for life!
Needed new earbuds that I could wear with my eyeglasses, my Beats wrapped around my ears getting in the way. These were a game changer! From the outstanding noise canceling and immersive sound, all the way to the multi-fitted buds and tips, so comfortable and outstanding quality. I will never look elsewhere than Bose going forward.

I have an old pair of earbuds that broke and have just received the new ones. The sound quality seems better, I like the fit of the old style better just because the fit my ears better.

Worth the Upgrade
Bought these as an upgrade from the QC 2's. Sound and noise cancellation is even better than before, so these sound awesome. The immersive sound option is amazing as well. Personally found these had to be fitted perfectly with the provided large size buds, otherwise you'd hear sound artifacts whilst walking. Unable to review durability as they are only a few weeks old. ...

Great Earbuds All Around
Have had these earbuds for a few weeks. The noise canceling is very good and the sound quality is great too. They fit well; you can mix and match the tip size and the silicone round piece to get a tight fit. I could never get the Apple AirPods to fit right and fell off all the time, regardless of the tip size used.
The maximum volume is not as loud as the AirPods but su...

Comfy and quality
I have used nearly every name brand earbud besides apple and these are so comfy and sound amazing. Battery life is really good and setting the buds into the charging case for a few minutes gets you a good chunk of play time in those few minutes.
