Bose SoundSport Free - ranked #375 of 749 In-Ear Headphones · Editor's rating 3.9/5

#375 Bose SoundSport Free TWS Discontinued eBay

Pros: Measured response gives it a solid Harman preference score of 73 with a 2.50 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1.2 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 4.8 dB low with a 6 dB dip near 4.5 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 6 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
