Ask any Peloton-head or SoulCycle devotee. There’s just something about being surrounded by music that pushes us to get a better workout. Bose takes their famous sounds-like-its-live audio technology and packs it into their Bose Sport Earbuds. They use proprietary technology to solve the two biggest earbud problems in history: When the sound gets unbalanced and unclear as you turn the volume up, and when the buds don’t stay in your ears.

Keep in mind that Bose is infamously protective of its patents and trademarks, so I don’t use the term “proprietary” lightly. These buds combine high-efficiency drivers, an in-house acoustic port design, and sophisticated volume technology to make you feel like the music is all around you instead of just blasting your ears out, or bothering anyone nearby. For comfort and security, the umbrella-shaped silicone eartips with flex wings ensure that even Simone Biles could keep these on during a midair half-twist double-layout.
