FAQ
Q: What are the differences between these and the SoundTrue ultra?
A: The SoundTrue Ultra headphones have a sealed acoustic design to maximize sound and use proprietary StayHear Ultra tips that stay soft and provide a stable fit. The SoundSport headphones are sweat and weather-resistant to stand up to use while exercising and available in five new colors.
Q: Does this work for iPod?
A: Yes, it works for most Apple devices including iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
Q: Does it have a protection plan?
A: Amazon sells a supplemental 3-year plan which is recommended if you plan on using these for more than a year.
Q: Does this work for Samsungs?
A: While these headphones will work with Samsung devices for listening, the controls may have limited functionality as they were designed specifically for Apple products.
Q: Do these headphones isolate outside noise?
A: While these headphones will isolate some outside noise due to the design of the ear tips, we have another model which boasts our active noise cancellation technology.
Q: Will these work with a Surface Pro 4?
A: These headphones will give you fantastic sound from any device with a standard headphone jack. However, the microphone and control buttons on these headphones were designed specifically for the Samsung Galaxy family of devices. There may be limited functionality with a Microsoft tablet with those particular features.
Q: Are there any other color options that Bose SoundSport in-ear headphones offer for Samsung?
A: For Samsung, there was only one color option available at the time of writing.
Q: My problem is the wire insulation, from the earpieces to the plug, has deteriorated and exposed internal wire. Can it be repaired or replaced?
A: Yes, it can be repaired or replaced. Contact Bose Customer Support for assistance or search online for tutorials on how to repair the cords if damaged.
Note: These headphones come with proprietary Stay Hear tips in three sizes that conform to your ear's shape to stay comfortably in place all day. They are sweat and weather-resistant, engineered and tested for lasting quality and durability. The inline microphone and remote allow for easy switching between calls and music with select iPhone models. The package includes a matching protective carrying case.
