Bose SoundSport Pulse Review

If you are a runner and enjoy listening to music, the Bose SoundSport Pulse wireless headphones are sure to keep you amazed. Earphones you may wonder what is so special about them? This headphone has a built-in ear, heart rate monitor that works with different running apps. How efficient is this fitness tracker, let us see what the experts think about it.

Pros / What Customers Like:

  • One thing that all the runners love is the wireless feature as it offers them no tangling wires that get in the way.
  • Athletes found the new wingtip design, comfortable to wear while running and more supple. The added benefit is you receive a range of sizes to get a perfect fit.
  • Other features sports users found helpful is the small power button and inline remote control with a microphone on the cable. One more must mention, especially by runners is the moisture-protection when running in the rain.
  • The Bose HRM headphone offers you an accurate reading according to most consumers, but you need to use it with other dedicated fitness apps such as RunKeeper, Strava, and MapMyRun.
  • One more outstanding thing mentioned by sports experts is that the headphone informs you with a vocal notification if the HRM sensors place right.
  • Gym users and joggers found the sound quality warm with plenty of oomph to get your body moving.

Cons / What Customers Don't Like:

  • The biggest negative comment is the price and consumers found them expensive to buy.
  • As far as fitness, readings go the negative for most athletes is that it only provides a reading of your current heart rate. Furthermore, it only works when connected to a relevant HRM app.
  • A bummer for this device according to one personal trainer is the battery life that lasts up to 5-hours of use, but it does have a 15-minute quick charge to extend it with another hour.

Verdict:

With the Bose SoundSport Pulse, you get to track your heart rate in your ear and listening to music. The earphones connect with different sports apps. The sticky point is the price, but still offers you runner-friendly attributes.
