Optoma NuForce BE Sport3 Review

I’m looking at the Optoma NuForce BE Sport3 as a compact Bluetooth-style sports headphone from Optoma, model BESPORT3-GUNMETAL. The recorded dimensions are 22.8 x 0.67 x 1.02 inches, and the listed weight is extremely low at 0.464 ounces, or 0.03 pounds. My read of those numbers is simple: this is meant to disappear into a pocket, gym pouch, or daily carry setup rather than compete with larger home or studio headphones.

How I’d frame the BE Sport3 before buying

The BE Sport3 runs on one Lithium Polymer battery, and that battery is included. That tells me this is not the kind of headphone I’d recommend to someone who wants a purely passive, plug-in-and-forget setup. Charging is part of the deal. If I were buying it, I’d make sure I was comfortable adding one more small device to my charging routine.

It is sold as one item, so I’d think through the surrounding basics before ordering: the audio source I plan to use, where I’ll keep it charged, and how careful I am with small accessories. With a headphone this light, I’d also want a consistent storage habit, because compact gear is easy to misplace.

What the size and weight tell me

The biggest practical point here is weight. At under half an ounce listed, the BE Sport3 is clearly aimed at portability and low physical burden. I’d look at it for commuting, walking, gym-bag use, or any situation where full-size headphones feel like too much to carry.

The honest limitation is that the spec sheet only tells part of the story. With compact ear-worn headphones, fit matters a lot, and fit can affect comfort and perceived bass. I can’t judge that from the product data alone. I also would not expect this kind of small headphone to deliver the same sense of scale or physical presence as a larger over-ear model built for home listening.

Who I think should skip it

• Charging-averse listeners: If battery maintenance annoys you, I’d skip this and choose a passive wired headphone instead.
• Studio-first buyers: For mixing, tracking, or detailed desktop work, I’d look toward larger dedicated studio headphones.
• Newest-platform shoppers: This model was first available on October 7, 2016, so I wouldn’t choose it if my priority were the latest headphone generation.
• People unsure about in-ear fit: If small ear-worn designs often bother you, I’d be cautious unless the return policy is friendly.

My buying advice

I’d consider the Optoma NuForce BE Sport3 if the priority is a tiny, lightweight Optoma headphone for everyday movement and casual carry. I’d pass if I wanted studio accuracy, zero charging, or a more substantial listening form factor. Based on the specs alone, this looks like a convenience-first model, and I’d judge it by that standard.
