I admit I can’t stand wearing earbuds.  I have yet to find a pair that doesn’t make my ears hurt after 10 mins or so.  The only time I wear them is when I travel on planes. A couple of years ago my husband got me some wireless headphones that I have been using, but after awhile they get hot and sweaty on my ears. I just wear them now when I workout.

When I learned about a personal, wearable, wireless speaker from Bose, I knew I had to try it.  The Bose® SoundWear™ Companion® is a wireless speaker that rests comfortably on your shoulders and moves with you as it delivers the deep, clear sound that we have come to expect from Bose products.
The SoundWear™ Companion® allows you to have the ability to listen to music and answer your phone with your ears and hands-free!  The unique design makes wearing the speaker comfortable and it gives you crystal clear sound quality. When connected to the Bose® Connect app you can access your phone and your phone’s Siri with the press of a button.

Our Experience with the Bose® SoundWear™ Companion®

We have several Bluetooth speakers in our home and love them.  My husband is a musician and loves to listen to music whenever he gets the chance. On the weekends he loves to make breakfast with the kids and listen to his latest favorite album.  I love these shared moments with the kids and their dad.  Music will always be a huge part of his life.  He listens to it whenever he gets a chance.  For me, I don’t necessarily like the same music as my husband.  I will find myself in a different room listening to my own stuff.  Having this portable speaker with me has been so nice.  I have my own music in my own space and I can connect it to my own phone.

A surprising place that I have found myself using the SoundWear™ Companion® is in my car.  I don’t drive much now that I work from home so I never updated my car’s stereo.  It is old school and doesn’t connect to a phone or anything.  In fact, when I go over a bump half of the speakers turn off.  It is pretty annoying but since I don’t drive a lot, I have learned to live with it.  I have worn my headphones before, but then I can’t hear traffic and it throws my driving and concentration off.  Having my ears free to listen to traffic has been amazing plus I can listen to my favorite podcasts and music that I have already stored on my phone.

I have also loved wearing it while I am taking care of the yard.  My kids like to go out and play while I pull weeds, water the flowers, or mow the yard. I love having the ability to listen to my music and being able to hear them if they need me, all of this with amazing sound quality!  I have also brought it with us when we go on bike rides for the exact same reason.  I can hear everyone and enjoy a little music at the same time, it is an enjoyable bike ride.
