" ... Great sound quality and pretty good a canceling out noise. ... "
" ... They are good quality, not as noise canceling as I was expecting and they dont stay sealed in as well as expected. ... "
" ... Without them being "noise canceling" they certainly can have the effect though. ... "
" ... I used the mediums for the longest time and could still hear outside noise. ... "
" ... So well in fact that I enjoy a bit of ambient noise reduction just in wearing the headset. ... "

" ... Really great quality, but would like to see some software updates. ... "
" ... Awesome sound when paired with the Bose app. ... "
" ... I used the Bose app tonight and paired my new headphones with that, also very helpful. ... "
" ... They need a pinch more brightness and a pinch more level BUT together with the EQ 10 App for iPhone to make up the difference they sound GREAT!! ... "
" ... I would love it if the app came with an equalizer to allow me to customize the sound of my music but I think that's a device limitation rather than with the headphones and app themselves. ... "
" ... Work great paired with my Samsung Galaxy S5. ... "
" ... After done syncing it will ask for you to download the BOSE app but I did not and it worked great still. ... "
" ... App: Easy to use, it gives you enough to have control of your device, it asked me for an update which it took about 40 minutes, I guess this varies depending on your internet connection, however you have to keep the headset on during this time to perform such update which is a bit of a hassle. ...

" ... I bought them after having the wired version and got tired of the cord getting caught on things as I worked out or was working on things. ... "
" ... Now that I run with this I realize how much cables were in the way when I used the regular apple cables. ... "
" ... The clip for the wire is very handy, and the carrying case is compact and great. ... "
" ... Sound is amazing and no wires to get in the way . ... "
" ... Bought these as a gift for the fiance as she has the iPhone which no longer has a headphone jack. ... "
" ... I can never go back to the old fashion earphones with a cord. ... "
" ... I say "wireless" because technically you have a wire going between the two earbuds, but I'm happy with that because I can leave one out to maintain situational awareness without having to worry about losing it. ... It recharges fairly quickly, too, using a micro-HDMI cord. ... "

" ... Best wireless ear buds I have ever purchased! ... "
" ... Never had ear buds sound so good!! ... "
" ... It's worth noting these aren't really "in-ear" earbuds as in they don't stick into your ear canal and do much to block the outside world. ... "

" ... Only complaints I have is I wish it could go louder and the rubber lining buy the power button is starting to come off after a 6 months also they seem to get dirty easily and hard to clean but this would not be an issue with the other colors available. ... "
" ... Loved it until it stopped turning off when hold the power button today. ... Also doesn't respond to inline controls. ... "
" ... Really disappointing, the multi function button broke within the first month of buying these. ... "
" ... Another thing that has come up is the rubber covering the control has separated from the body of the control. ... The buttons were always a little spongy, but now the volume down button is almost unusable with out moving the rubber cover into just the right alignment with both hands. ... To compare to the X3s again, the controls on those headphones are a solid unit with individual buttons for volume up and down and play/pause. ... Update: A little plastic piece broke off from the loose volume down button (see pic) and I now have no way to decrease the volume from the headphones without using my phone. ... "
" ... The control button are hard to find. ... "
" ... - the power button. ... dear god, the power button. ... (talk about risky) but what makes this thing infuriating is that it is NOT covered by a hard-plastic panel like the volume buttons. ... in other words, after so many presses, eventually the button just stays down, and your headphones will endlessly loop between powering down, powering on, and deleting all the known bluetooth devices. ... "
" ... The volume rocker is a soft piece of material that is sometimes annoying to use. ... "
" ... -- Bose remote buttons feel weird to press. ... Buttons are big, not very clicky, and generally unpleasant to work with. ... "

" ... There is a great frequency range . ... "
" ... Excellent quality and reception. ... "
" ... And that's not just for a pair of wireless earphones, it competes very well against mid-top range earphones too. ... "
" ... Moreover, I've been getting close to 35 - 40 feet of range from the phone to the buds, which is great when using it at the gym as I can just leave my phone down and not worry about carrying it around. ... "
" ... They also have a pretty good range (My phone has to be on the opposite end of a 1,100 sq ft house before it starts cutting out), but as my first set of wireless earbuds I can't compare it to anything. ... "
" ... So far I haven't experienced any drops in connectivity which is pretty amazing. ... "
" ... The range is quite impressive. ... "
" ... By doing this I never loose a signal. ... Update 1: My house is roughly 2600 square feet with a walkout basement and the SoundSports kept a signal throughout the house. ... "
