IIRC, not out till the 15th. Don't see how they are sports buds if they seal even better. Then you get footfall/bone conduction. You lose situational awareness. Maybe call them "Gym" buds but not sports like outside running shooting or whacking a ball around or biking.
Hard to say. I know they use the same Stay Hear Max Tips, however, there's no way to turn off the ANC, meaning it's level 10 to 0, which gradually just opens the external mics. I guess I could run out the batteries and then try, but I might just buy the Black Sport version instead. I do need a new gym TWS...
The sound quality....oh my god! These are SENSATIONAL!!!! Mostly I sit there nodding my head doing my tests. Nah....dancing around the living room to She's On The Phone by St Etienne, bass on Wiz Khalifa is crystal clear and intense...even Douglas Hubbard reading The Failures of Risk Management is putting a smile on my face!!
@hifi80sman - Ah yes, it makes it hard to compare and more importantly that's a bit of a bummer not being able to turn off ANC as the mics are likely to pick up wind noise when it's windy or when riding a bike.
@jant71 - good point about "sports" earbuds vs "gym" earbuds. For running if you can't stand "thumping" (I can't) you'll need the earbud style like the X12/Apple Earpods/Airpods. Most people don't like them because they don't isolate so don't work for the gym. That's where isolating earbuds like the Bomaker SiFi II come in. But what if you run on a treadmill in a gym ?
Some thoughts about new Bose CQ earbuds after one day of heavy usage:
I like it a lot
+
Superb sound quality.
Best resolution and instrument separation I heard in TWS so far.
Not for bass heads, but just enough bass for everybody else.
Huge soundstage.
Best ANC I experienced in TWS so far. Better when APP and Sony. I went outside for a walk and didn't hear the cars passing by at all when the music was playing.
6 hours on single charge. Didn't test it properly yet, but I think with 100% ANC on its less. (5 hours maybe)
Very comfortable fit. Not moving at all. Was wearing them for 6 hours straight without any discomfort.
BT connection is rock solid. My phone was on the second floor and I was still connected in the basement.
I like the touch controls. Just what I need: play, pause, skip the track, auto pause when taking out of the ear. Don't care about volume control much.

Huge case (Bose could make it smaller)
Earbuds look big and weird in ears. Not big deal for me, don't care about what other people think.
And of course PRICE. But if you like your music to sound great and without outside noise when they cost less when MTW 2 and IMHO Bose sounds better.
People should also state the implementation. Bose vs. Nuarl SBC or aptX or what? If with solid aptX implementation the Nuarl jumps up again then one might say, What? I thought the Bose sounded better. Fine if the Bose outright sound better but have to make sure there are no caveats in effect.
You're right. Maybe with aptX Nuarl will sound better. I don't know. I can only test it with AAC on my Iphone. And on AAC the Bose sounds better to my ears.
I like both of them. In fact, I love both of them. Gonna try and use the t1 Pro in bed tonight so I don't have to listen to Sam and Billy Faiers mummy diaries...they are doing OK so far
Well, I went ahead and did it. The Bose Sport are semi-open, similar to the originals, which is what I was expecting. They are lighter and are VERY comfortable. Sound is very similar, however, there is a greater sense of space due to the semi-open nature. They were obviously designed to maintain some awareness, which is a scenario I can use them for. My wife tends to feel the need to talk to me when I'm listening to music, so these will work for those cases.

I saw you bought the bt20s pro earhooks. I also just got mine, I bought the .75mm-S 2pin and it fit my ZAX connector.
As you can see, it is more secure with the S model than the regular. I have ordered another pair for the matte black pair.
