Bose has announced new wireless SoundSport Free earbuds designed to strike a balance between size, performance, power and stability.

Each earbud weighs just .35 ounces and measures just 1.1” high x 1.2” deep. They house a new antennae system to maintain a strong and reliable connection between each other, and the phone or tablet they’re paired to – whether the device is 30 feet away, in your pocket, gym bag, or strapped to your arm. Combined with a miniature acoustic package, including Bose digital signal processing, volume optimized EQ, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, SoundSport Free delivers up to 5 hours of powerful, clear music – without cracks, pops, or hisses.

“The SoundSport Free is the closest thing to what people have always wanted in a sport headphone – a technology-packed solution that’s stripped down to just two rugged earbuds that feel great, stay connected, stay in, and sound amazing,” says Brian Maguire, director, Bose on-the-go products.

SoundSport Free headphones use proprietary StayHear+ Sport tips for a secure, firm fit and offer an IPX4 rating to resist water and sweat year-round. A one button press on the right earbud brings up your VPA.

The headphones feature a high-gloss finish and come with a charging case that magnetically holds each earbud in place, doubles as storage, and provides two additional full charges for up to 10 more hours of battery life. When not stowed away, a new “Find My Buds” feature on the Bose Connect App displays the last time and place they were used to locate them quickly.

Pricing and Availability:
SoundSport Free headphones will come in two colors; Triple Black is available to pre-order now for early October delivery, and Midnight Blue with Yellow Citron will be available later this year. The earbuds cost $249.95.

With this kind of device. Controlling it with gesture is better than buttons. A simple tap to play, double tap to skip but buttons? I think it is wrong using buttons, making the device bigger and difficult to control specially if it is hanging in your ear. For $250 on Bose, it is not worth paying for the design’s function and the tech under the hood compared to the Airpods.

They look smooth, but I don't need EarPods/AirPods/whatever.

Not worth $249. I'd rather go with Sennheiser or apples AirPods

I remember owning the very first true wireless headphone and it was Earin headphones just a couple of years ago. Now the true wireless market just suddenly exploded. It wasn't Airpods that started it but they sure push other brand to compete on this side of the market.

True. It doesn’t matter who is first, but who does it right. That’s what pushes competition.
