The most versatile headphones for the Bose triathlete
Bose is committed to sport by designing headphones that offer the best sound experience,
Bose is betting on sports by designing headphones that offer the best sound experience, something very few brands can do today.
It has a specific design to guarantee comfort during sports.
PRODUCT PRESENTATION
At Triathlon News, we've been lucky enough to test the spectacular SOUNDSPORT FREE headphones from BOSE, a model designed exclusively for athletes, and very useful for triathletes as they can accompany you during your running or strength training sessions at the gym , or even those long and tedious indoor cycling sessions, in the most comfortable way – without wires!
BOSE's commitment to triathlon is great news, because regardless of the "format," it guarantees top- notch sound that very few brands on the market can offer today.
TESTING!
As we have already mentioned, the SoundSport Free model are wireless headphones (with both units independent) that transmit sound via Bluetooth
DO NOT MOVE!
The headphones feature StayHear+ covers that offer maximum stability and comfort with a soft silicone material that gently fits over the ear
As a side note, the box also includes three different sized ear pads so you can choose the one that best suits you.
A STRONG POINT AND VERY TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT!
It's clear that when choosing headphones, audio quality is fundamental, but this is already guaranteed by knowing that the manufacturer is Bose, so from our point of view, its design to guarantee comfort and a secure fit is another key reason to choose it over other models.
If you look closely, you can see that they have silicone tips with multiple contact points that ensure stability without blocking the ear like other earplug models. A very important detail to consider.
SIZE DOES MATTER!
Seeing them the first time their size is something big for a wifi headset, but after inquiring a bit we discover their true reason and that size does matter!
This model has more advanced electronics since it automatically equalizes according to the listening volume (you don't have to be adjusting the equalization like in others depending on the listening volume).
Their size is due to the need for space to achieve the best bass response in an in-ear headphone and to perform better at any volume.
CARRY THEM SIMPLY
For this purpose, we find a small "case" where the headphones are securely attached magnetically. This case is the first thing you need to charge via USB, and once charged, it can provide up to three 5-hour charges. Quick, simple, and very practical.
SOUND: No competition
Herein lies the real strength of this model, not only because of the sound quality that Bose offers in any of its devices, which is already a guarantee of quality, but also because this model, as we mentioned before, has an auto-equalization system based on the listening volume.
WORKING
The first step is to download the Bose Connect app from the App Store or Google Pay
With a fast and intuitive system, it also offers other options such as helping you manage paired devices and searching for them if you can't find them. You can also have a total of 7 devices that can be used for both listening to music and answering calls on your mobile phone.
As a curiosity, with this application you can see where the headphones were last connected as long as you give the authorization in the application itself
YOUR APP, INTUITIVE AND VERY COMPLETE
We were very pleasantly surprised by the APP developed by Bose for this device, intuitive and very complete, you can configure it in the language you want.
As soon as you turn it on, it will ask you to activate the bluetooth to be able to reproduce the sound. Then you open the audio source you want (in our case we tested with Spotify) and start playing.
You can slide the different menus of the APP to know the operation of the buttons as shown in the photos and you will also find a section with a manual where you can solve frequent doubts, but as we said, its operation is very simple and intuitive
RIGHT OR LEFT? Take control.
