Bose SoundTrue Ultra In-Ear Headphones for Apple Devices - Charcoal Black

I hope this review is helpful to you. If you have trawled through the reviews here on amazon for this product then I think you may be hesitant.Firstly , I noted all the reviewers complaining about the noise transmitted from the cable. Absolutely not a problem with mine , I guess make sure you are buying from a trusted seller and getting 100% genuine Bose product maybe the most obvious thing to point out. I’d imagine there are some third party fakes in existence.I’ve had so many pairs over the ears and years and never before enjoyed such light and comfortable phones, they sound smooth , detailed , balanced. Straight away I was into a long audition and they just get better and better.The volume gadget / in line remote is in just the right place , no tangles on the cable and nothing unusual regarding cable noise picked up from clothes movements , walking / running / cycling etc.Most importantly they stay in my rather big ears , which in my defence are not disproportionately sized to my being.Apple buds are forever sliding out of my ears and sound awful to boot, I never bother with them and if you are looking to enjoy your iPhone music so much more then don’t hesitate , buy now. I bought them on Black Friday price and worth every penny. I can’t speak for their durability at this point but I don’t anticipate any problem with normal careful use. But frankly if they lasted 6 months to a year only , I’d just buy another set as I really think they are that good and will get used a lot.I enjoy dance music , electronica , pop , jazz , classical , rock , indie and all types of music and find the Bose SoundTrue ultra to indeed be very true with all types of music. No lack of kick but definitely not bass enhanced like some other products. In fact listening to some anjunadeep house at this moment and the bass is very defined and certainly not lacking , it’s exactly in line with the other frequencies and not overblown but very much there for sure. Absolutely loving these things , so glad I bought them.Really can’t understand the poor reviews , they are so comfortable and light , you forget they are on. They do not pressure anywhere , light as a feather and i haven’t experimented with the different size buds but for me they worked straight out of the box. No messing about pushing them in , out , shake it all about etc. Only to find the damn left side has dropped out of your lug hole once again , these just sit there perfectly in place regardless what I’m doing active or not. Then , coupled with the sound quality , these are a wonderful purchase.5 stars without question , great product. This is a genuine review and to balance I had some Bose on ear once that were pretty disappointing. The Bose SoundTrue ultra for me are a total revelation and I thoroughly recommend for active listening on the move , commuting , whilst working or just quiet listening at home. I was ready to return them if they were lacking but I really like them , keeper!

I received these in good time. As with all Bose products they were well packaged. The earphones come with 3 different size in-ear adjuster - small medium and large, so they should suit most people’s ears. It is simply a case of plugging them into your device using the jack and start listening - with none of the charging issues you get with Bluetooth devices. The sound is excellent, as it should be with Bose. These are not noise cancelling, so there is some outside sound, but it’s quite muted. The wire does cause a problem, when you catch it the noise travels and you can hear it above your music. This only happens if you are moving, but is resolved if you use clip to secure the wire to clothing, etc. I suspect if you are jogging, you may wish to choose more suitable headphones. These were on Black Friday offer, so for under £50 I am well chuffed. They also come with a little case, which easily slips into my bag - lovely added extra touch which saves tangled wires.

Despite their glossy advertising, Bose don't have a particularly good reputation; they're very expensive, their products are cheaply made with up-front reliability issues, but technically they seem to work well. Reviews of their headphones are full of praise and certainly their noise-cancelling circuitry is the market leader, but longer term feedback shows that many of them - perhaps up to a third - fail fairly quickly. With all this in mind I decided to take advantage of the Black Friday deals at Amazon and bought myself a pair of Bose SoundTrue Ultras. These are noise isolating earphones which sit on the ear rather than actually inside the ear canal, and so are more comfortable to wear for long periods than conventional earbuds. A good seal is still needed to obtain full hi-fi sound, especially proper bass, but I had no problem with my set using the medium sized eartips. I ran them in for 48 hours on mindless local radio and then they certainly worked as specified. The sound quality is clear and sweet, to me very slightly warm, with a full and extended bass. Of course, not in the same class as full sized headphones, but good enough for travelling or just out and about. The sound isolation is very good with only sharp noises getting through. The steady hum or drone of trains and planes is quite muted. Crucially though, they are comfortable to use; the extensions on the soft silicone eartips hold them firmly against the outer ear but there is not the unpleasant pressure and sweatiness you get with conventional earphones jammed inside your ears. A clever design - I like them! Highly recommended, although I hope mine last longer than just the guarantee period.

I have the the SoundTrue's "brother", the bose SoundSport headphones, for years now and they are unbelievable good in both, sound and durability.I bought the SoundTrue because I wanted to have a second pair to use at home. Sadly, the quality was (compared to what I had before) not good at all. Every time I moved (e.g. just stood up) or touched the cable, the headphones transmitted it. The cable also feels, compared to the SoundSport, very unflexible. The sound was also quite dull and did not have the same deepness in bass than the SoundSport have. Also, high sounds are transmitted very unclear. In conclusion, in my opinion, the headphones may still be better than the "normal" and cheap ones but they are not really worth the high price.
