About the Bose® SoundSport® Pulse wireless in-ear

Move to the beat
The Bose SoundSport Pulse wireless headphones feature an in-ear heart rate sensor for real-time workout data.
Many of us here at Crutchfield think of Bose® sports headphones as part of our gym essentials. They deliver powerful sound that fuels long workouts and offer the comfort to last through them. And the Bose® SoundSport® Pulse wireless headphones take it one step further — they feature a built-in heart rate sensor. These in-ear headphones play music wirelessly via Bluetooth®, while also feeding real-time heart-rate information to your phone or smartwatch. This allows you to track and monitor your progress and intensity.
The sensor is compatible with the Bose® Connect app for Apple® and Android™, along with many top fitness apps like MapMyFitness, Runkeeper, and more.
Passing the comfort test
In general, I find Bose makes some of the most comfortable in-ear headphones thanks to their StayHear® tips. For these headphones, they had to use slightly larger StayHear®+ Pulse tips to accomodate the in-ear sensor, so I had to try them out. They still felt super-soft and rested snugly outside the ear canal, and the stability loops kept them in place while I moved around. There are also three sizes included to help you find a good fit. The extra weight of the sensor, battery, and other internal circuitry is distributed well, and they felt only a little heavier than the Bose SoundSport wireless.
Durable and sweat-resistant
You don't have to worry about the SoundSport® Pulse headphones as you run in the rain or work up a sweat in the gym. They are rugged and water-resistant. And you can keep your phone safely tucked away — the in-line remote next to the right ear can control music and phone calls wirelessly.

Features
Overview: The Bose SoundSport Pulse wireless in-ear headphones deliver full, balanced sound and comfort for any activity. Designed for workouts, the headphones are sweat- and weather-resistant, and will stay in place during vigorous exercise. The SoundSport Pulse Wireless headphones feature a built-in heart rate sensor, Bluetooth and NFC, and work with iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
Heart Rate Sensor: The built-in heart rate sensor from PerformTek accurately tracks your heart beat directly from your ear. Using the free Bose Connect app, you can monitor your heart rate as you walk, run, workout, or rest. The sensor is located in the left ear bud, so you must keep it securely in place to get an accurate reading. The heart rate sensor is also compatible with other popular fitness apps, such as MapMyRun, Runkeeper, Endomondo, and Runtastic.
Bluetooth: Built-in Bluetooth lets you connect your devices wirelessly so you're not tethered to your phone. You can pair (and unpair) the headphones to an NFC-enabled Android device by touching the device to the NFC touchpoint on the in-line remote. The headphones are powered by a built-in Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that charges in approximately 2 hours via the supplied Micro USB cable. A fully charged battery provides approximately 5 hours of playback. Music playback is not possible during charging.
Bose Connect: The Bose Connect app makes it easy to connect to your Bluetooth devices, and switch between them whenever you desire. It improves your wireless experience by helping you pair your headphones to multiple devices by a simple swipe. You can also get software updates, product tips, and personalized settings from the app. You can also view your heart rate data directly on the app. The free Bose Connect app is available for download from the Apple App store for devices running iOS 9.0 or later, and from Google Play for devices running Android 4.3 and up.
In-Line Remote Control/Microphone: The SoundSport Pulse Wireless in-ear headphones have a 21" connecting cable between the ear buds with an in-line 3-button remote control and microphone below the right ear bud. The remote and mic are compatible with both iPhone/iPad/iPod touch and Android devices. The Multi-function button will control play/pause, skip forward/backward, fast forward/rewind, and volume up/down. It can also answer/end a phone call, decline a call, answer or decline a second call, switch between two calls, create a conference call, activate voice control, and mute/unmute a call.
StayHear+ Pulse Tips: The SoundSport Pulse Wireless earbud headphones come with Bose's proprietary StayHear+ Pulse silicone ear-tips in three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) to help assure a more accurate fit that's comfortable and stable. StayHear+ Pulse silicone ear-tips have cutouts to accommodate the heart rate sensor. The special design helps them stay in your ears during exercise and other active sports. Advanced materials and design allow the tips to nestle inside the bowl of the ear, while also naturally conforming to the ear's upper ridge. StayHear+ Pulse tips also are designed to remain more securely on the headphone itself. Overall, they provide a better on-the-go listening experience.
Lightweight Carrying Case: The Bose SoundSport Pulse Wireless in-ear headphones come with a lightweight, durable neoprene carrying case to help protect the headphones while you travel and hold your keys or cash during your workout. The case has a carabiner so you can clip it to your clothing.

At first I found the earpiece a little bulky but got used to it. The sound quality as always with Bose is great. I work out on a stair climber that does does have a heart rate option so this unit fits in perfect. It is extremely accurate. Highly recommend.
