Dell slices prices on Bose SoundSport wireless headphones

Dell has a fantastic offer on the table for anyone in the market for a set of Bose SoundSport or Bose SoundSport Wireless headphones. The SoundSport has been reduced from $100 to $50, and the SoundSport Wireless from $150 to $130.

These aren’t the most significant savings we’ve seen on a pair of headphones, but if you’ve had your heart set on the Bose SoundSport or SoundSport Wireless for a while and have been looking for an excuse to pull the trigger on either pair, here it is.

The Bose SoundSport and SoundSport Wireless are two fantastic sets of headphones that excel in a host of situations where a set of over-ear cans would be too intrusive — like bouncing between meetings or heading out on a run, for example.

Look after the cents, and the dollars will take care of themselves.

To be clear, we aren’t saying over-ear cans are bad. There are some circumstances, however, when they can be a bit of an inconvenience; stowing them while darting around town is tedious, for instance.

So, which is the better deal? Even though the Bose SoundSport get a bigger price reduction, the SoundSport Wireless is the better of the two from a convenience standpoint (audio is comparable). Why? Because they’re wireless, of course.

It all comes down to personal preference, though. If charging up headphones isn’t your jam, go with the Bose SoundSport. But if you savor a no-strings-attached kind of relationship with your listening equipment, the SoundSport Wireless is for you.

Neither of the two are noise-canceling, so if that’s what you’re after, Amazon has a great deal on the Sony WH-1000XM3, which we named the best headphones of 2018 and awarded a coveted score of 9 out of 10 in our comprehensive review.

Not sure what makes a great set of headphones? Our buying guide will bring you up to speed on what to look for in over-ear, on-ear, and in-ear headphones, and touch on all the respective benefits and drawbacks to help you decide which is best for you.

Bargain hunters on the lookout for more unmissable deals should head over to our list of the best Memorial Day sales. We’ll be updating it from now through the end of the month, so make it your one-stop shop for all the latest savings.

Bose SoundLink Flex is a waterproof speaker that knows what’s up
Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker in blue.

Bose has introduced the latest member of its SoundLink family of Bluetooth speakers and headphones, the $149 SoundLink Flex. It's available starting October 13 at Bose.com and other retailers in three colors: Black, white, or blue.

The SoundLink Flex's IP67 rating for water and dust resistance makes it a pretty good pool and beach companion, and should it actually go for a kerplunk, it will float back to the surface of the water so you don't need to grab a mask and snorkel to retrieve it.

Master & Dynamic MW08 Sport first impressions: Lighter weight, wireless charging
Master & Dynamic MW08 Sport true wireless earbuds.

Master & Dynamic (M&D) has just released the $349 MW08 Sport, an almost identical set of true wireless earbuds to the company’s MW08, which it debuted earlier this year for $299. So what makes the MW08 Sport so er, sporty? And why do they cost $50 more than the regular MW08? It pretty much comes down to weight and wireless charging.

The original MW08 are a stellar set of active noise cancellation (ANC) earbuds, with fantastic sound quality, battery life, and ergonomics. But their slick-looking all-metal charging case, at 2.8 ounces, weighs considerably more than most charging cases and it doesn’t support wireless charging.

Bose answers call for safety-minded buds with $200 new Sport Open Earbuds
Bose Sport Open Earbuds

Bose has just taken the wraps off its latest true wireless earbuds, the $200 Sport Open Earbuds, which feature a non-ear-obstructing design that lets in outside sounds instead of sealing off the ear canal. Pre-orders start today at Bose.com and BestBuy.com, and shipping begins mid-January.

The Sport Open Earbuds use Bose's OpenAudio technology, the same engineering the company used to create the Bose Frames Sunglasses, which let you hear music without the use of earbuds. Bose claims that the Sport Open Earbud enclosures contain a tiny dipole transducer that can deliver clear audio for the wearer, but that "cancels" out everywhere else.
