Track your performance and see your heart rate in real time, so you’ll know when it’s time to go harder or take it back a notch. With exercise being as demanding an activity as it is, a demanding pair of headphones is required to listen to your music in the process.

Good - The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.As you bounce down the road, it tends to pull the cable around to that side, which is why Bose includes a shirt, to keep the cable anchored in place.
