If the rumors are true, and the smartphones of the future are going headphone-jack-free, then you'll want to invest in a good pair of wireless buds. The Bose Soundsport ($149) are on the bulky side, but provide a strong, steady Bluetooth connection to your phone whether you're walking or running.

Maintained a strong connection; Good in-line controls; Works with Siri and Google Now

Bulky; App doesn't add much value

This product and warranty are much better than my old headphones (Beats). They are better designed for working out and sweat resistant. I also like the case and ergonomics better. ABT had solid customer service as well. Arrived early and swift to answer a question I had pre-purchase.

Super-comfortable; Good sound quality; Reliable HRM

Great sound quality; connection is solid and they stay in your ears

Battery life could be better; a little chunky

I've used these just once since they arrived and they were great. I went running and they stayed in my ears well, connected to my phone no problem and the sound quality was brilliant as you'd expect from Bose.

Very comfortable and smart design good sound

Control feel bit high up the cable

These headphones have great clarity of sound but are bulky in the ear when under a helmet; a flatter ear piece would be more suited. The proximity of controls to ear makes it difficult to use on the bike

Great product for active/sporty types or just wondering around town. Initially purchased after getting annoyed with wires in the gym and exercising. But I have used them for running a half marathon in the pouring rain and they worked brilliantly, ran the London Marathon in them and the battery had...

i use this product when i travel
