Bose SoundSport in-Ear Headphones for Samsung Galaxy Models, Green

In short- Get the "plus" tips. As other reviewers mentioned, it improves the sound 100%! I listen to rock and metal music. I have pretty awesome setups in my car and in my house, so I figured- why not have something better when I'm on a run? I've always been hesitant on earbuds because its impossible to really try before you buy. The apple "earbuds" were awful. The "earpods" they came out with a few years ago with the iPhone 5 were what I've been using. They have decent bass delivery and sound pretty good. I'm happy with them, but as I said, wondered if there was something better. I took a chance on the Bose Soundsport and I'm glad I did.... after a little modification. Honestly I was NOT impressed with these buds in their stock form. I couldn't tell much of a difference between my free Apple earpods that came with my iphone and these $100+ earbuds. Not a bit. Taking the advice of other reviewers I put the "plus" tips on and now I DEFINATELY have a better set of earbuds. Much better punch after the switch. Rock music sounds heavy yet still clear. The stock tips as well as the plus tips are very comfortable as well and I HATE the way many earbuds squeeze into your ear canal.....so uncomfortable and gross feeling ugh! These are smooth and are not wedged into your ears at all. Great fit for me with the Medium tips. The volume toggle, "skip" function on songs, and mic work well also- just make sure you get the correct model earbud to match with your phone OS. Get the buds, get the tips, and these are a great upgrade without taking the chance on even more expensive earbuds.+Great Sound (after tips changed)+Very comfortable (and I'm picky about this)+My mic and volume work well with iOS- dumb that we have to buy another $10 set of tips to make this sound like a premium earbud....just include them! but then again its only $10...

I have been through about twenty sets of earbuds and in ear head sets in the last ten or twelve years and this comes as close to ideal as I have found. I've alternated between expensive audiophile in-ear sets to buying boxes of cheap throw aways. I know Bose always is suspect for overhyping and overpricing their products. At the discounted price I paid for these however, around $90, they exceeded my expectations on both counts. These headphones are specifically designed to sit loosely at the entrance of the ear canal on not inside. This seemed counterintuitive to me and I was sure they would be horrible about falling out when running as are the current APPLE headsets. Not the case. They feel somewhat loose in your ear but they actually stay put quite well. The big benefit of this approach is that they seem to use the auricle (outer cartilage area, had to look that up) to collect sound in a very natural way as opposed to driving it into the center of your brain. The clarity is incredible. I listen to a lot of podcasts and the voice fidelity is superb. I used to have to replay segments all the time because I couldn't understand what was said but that rarely happen now. Music is also a joy on these phones. It is a cliche to say "I heard stuff in that song I've never heard before" but that is absolutely true with stuff I've listened to with these.I bought the SoundSport version because they tout extra durability and I am very hard on headsets. They do appear to be quite well made and should resist a fair amount of abuse. The cords are far and away the least tangle prone that I have experienced. To extent I have used the control /mic it seems to function very well and people can hear me quite well during phone call.I highly recommend you give these a try.

If you have the money, these headphones are worth a shot.After going through 3 pairs of $40 Sennheiser CX300s (lost 1, the other 2 broke after ~9 months each, but I kept buying them because they fit well in my ears and sounded great for the price) I decided it was time to spring for something designed to be a little more durable. As soon as I put them in and moved around, I was glad I did.Pros:-Sound fantasticHip hop, R&B, and electronic music all sound great through these, with rich detail and impactful bass (which still confuses me how they managed this, since they don't create a seal in your ear). The bass may be a little much for some but for me it's perfect as I like to feel my music. These sound better than the $70 JBLs I returned and much better than the Sennheisers. Equally enjoyable as my Audio Technica monitors, though they definitely sound different.I had been a Bose hater for a long time because of the supposedly "not flat" response, but as I'm getting older I'm starting to realize this is kind of bulls***, and if it sounds good it sounds good. I have my studio monitors if I want flat response.-Comfortable and secure fitAt first, you might feel like these buds are constantly on the verge of falling out of your ears, since they don't go as deep into your ear as most other earbuds. But once you move around enough, you'll realize they're not going anywhere, partially due to the sharkfin thingy which really helps. I even shook my head vigorously to try to get them to fall out and they didn't budge. After about 30 minutes with them in, I could barely feel them in my ears at all. Much more comfortable than sticking something like an Etymotic deep in your ear. I could probably wear these all day without any problem.-Short cordAs a short guy, I find most cords to be too long. The shorter cord means these will tangle less and get caught on fewer things. There is also a nice clip on the cord that I can clip to my shirt to keep the cord from flying around. It comes with an extension cord if you need one.-No cord noiseIf there is no sound playing, you will hear cord noise, but it goes away immediately once music comes on.-Look coolI got the blue color and I love it. Plus they come with a nice matching carrying case.Cons:-Because they don't create a seal in your ear, they let a lot of outside noise in.This is the tradeoff of comfort, and it's actually a good thing if you're exercising and want to be aware of your surroundings, but not so good if you use them on the subway. However, I have to say that even with loud noise in the background, these are still somehow enjoyable to listen to. It almost feels as if your head is between two speakers rather than the sound coming from inside your hear, which headphones often feel like to me. So when there's background noise, it's more like somebody just turned the speakers down a bit, but the detail is still there.-Price - For someone like me who has a hard time finding headphones that fit, these are worth the price. But depending on your ears you may be able to get something that sounds and fits just as well for cheaper.-No flat cable - not a huge deal, but would be a nice addition in future versions.Can't comment on durability yet as I just got them, but fingers crossed. I also can't comment on the mic since I use an Android, but the play/pause button does work fine.Overall, if you want something that will give you good sound, good bass, and stay in your ears without having to jam it way down in there, you should give these a shot. If you're looking to isolate outside noise or for a flat response, look elsewhere.
