What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Apple AirPods Wireless Headphones

I was concerned about them falling out, I can't make them fall out fit is great.
I really like how they feel secure in my ear! Great sound quality!
These AirPods were for my son who works out a lot. He said they are so comfortable and never fall out of his ears during a workout.
The air pods fit perfectly. I don't have to worry about wires from the phone or behind my head.
Love how it fits and the sound. Last a long time and charges pretty fast.
These work great but the design and fit are horrible.

Bose SoundSport Free Truly Wireless Sport Headphones

Light weight great sound easy to pair with phone. A must buy
I personally, could not see myself jogging with them In my ear, because of the weight in my ear, but for everyday use and even with your mobile device, I recommend these, if you are looking for quality and sound. They are worth every penny/dollar!!!
Each of the buds is separate. I used the standard set of tips that came already installed on them and they fit just fine.
have a hard time getting ear buds that fit. These fit well, and sound great!!
I also figured they would fall out and get lost (especially in my ears where traditional earbuds never stay in) but they fit well and are really secure.
Could be more ergonomic (cannot lay your ear on a pillow)

What customers say about "Features"

Apple AirPods Wireless Headphones

Has great sound and best feature is battery life. Small,sleek and great fit.
I like the sound and lack of wires. These were never proposed to be noise cancelling so the ability to hear surrounding noise keeps me aware of rooms where I should be listening but want to hear the music or in a store.
These headphones sound better than the headphones bundled with the iPhone. Great quality and easy set up with all Apple devices.
For an in ear nice sound deep base and stays in ear no fear of them falling out.
The sound quality of the AirPods is incredible. Battery life is great too.

Bose SoundSport Free Truly Wireless Sport Headphones

They sound awesome and are light weight with a great battery life.
The sound is very clear and it also provides bass.
I have tried almost all the other options - these are the best sounding hands down!!
These things sound awesome for music and calls, have long range and have great battery life.
My only concern as of right now is the sound. It's a bit on the muddy side. I am hoping I can adjust the sound with the settings on the phone.
Sometimes the sound drops out when walking and having the phone in the back pocket
