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!

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.

Absolutely great earphones, they almost never fall out, and have amazing sound quality. However, the construction is flawed, as within two months of general use the cable broke, and started to fray at the jack end. Now, they are completely unusable and frankly a wasted £100. Wish I could return them.

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.

I got these because my Seinheisser 30x-es were super leaky. On the tube, I was having to turn volume up to full to be able to hear podcasts. When (off the tube) I'd listen at the same volume, it was way too loud, and I was beginning to worry about hearing damage from adding to the sounds of the tube by turning Roman Mars up to 11. The SoundTrues are like those high quality silicone earplugs, with a brilliantly high quality earphone built in. It can feel a bit weird blocking out all ambient sound, and it makes sounds inside your head feel really loud - don't eat crisps and listen, for example. But the range of sound is fantastic. Highs, mids - and really heavy ows. Which is unusual for an in-ear. If you want to block out sounds but noise cancelling is out of your price range, go for these.

I bought these as a replacement for the standard apple headphones, having owned several pairs of sennheisers in the past, which unfortunately broke on me multiple times I decided to try a different company with a similar sterling reputation. I'm not going to talk about the peripharels-packaging, carry case etc as these are inconsequential to the main show, the headphones. Just know it's good quality as you'd expect from bose. I'll start with the positives, the sound is excellent, although not quite as much bass as i was expecting/wanted, i would say these lean towards the accurate side rather than audio enjoyment. The tips are soft and do an excellent job of isolating outside noise, better than any I have tried, and the main bud fit my ear perfectly, as opposed to a lot of buds which i feel im forcing in. The inline controls worked fine with my iphone 6, with satisfying tactile feedback. Finally the build quality seems good, although I haven't had them for long everything seems solid, and even though they're plastic for lightness, there's no danger of them breaking any time soon. Now the negatives. The wings are a bit odd, as they only fit correctly at a certain angle, the rest of the time they stick out or don't touch my ear at all. Honestly I could see myself cutting them off and just using the main bud, as I don't feel they bring anything to the party, the buds feel secure on their own. I can't get used to the strange T design splitter, which is far more rigid than I expected, and feels like it is putting unneccesary bends in the cables, and honestly it's something I was always conscous of, seeming to be quite bulky because of how it spread the cables. And finally the worse problem, and the reason I am returning these, is cable noise. It's awful, every tiny sound is transmitted to your ears, even gently pinching the cable and releasing is audible as a sticky sound. I couldn't even tolerate the noise walking, let alone running, and as I intended to use these for the gym as well as casual listening it's unacceptable. Result:Returning these and trying out the sound sports, which, from other reviews don't have this cable noise problem. Will be boosting noise isolation with stayhear+ tips.l

My older Bose MIE2 in-ear headphones were perfectly great. These new ones I can't use. They transmit too much noise from my feet when I walk due to their noise isolation. I guess they would be better if you're not on the move (which is not when I usually use in-ear headphones). I also can't find a good position for them so they sound tinny - other people might be more lucky with matching the headphones to their own ear canal. I'm sure there is excellent sound production but, while my older Bose model just fit, these are different.

These are great!!! I want to give the guys out there an idea for cord noise. I am lucky to also own the soundsport, and I took off my old stay hear tips and swapped them for the ones on the sound true. Job done, no cord noise and I get some air through the ear so no finger in the ear feeling. Now if you guys are worried about not having these stay hear tips, you can just go Bose who will give you a few sets of spare tips for £5.99. I bought a few spare tips last year cause I lost one of them. The handy thing is when I am going gym, I can swap the tips around to stop cord noise and when I want to go work and sit at my desk I can swap tips back. Pics for you to see are below so you see the trick Seriously guys don't worry about the cord noise, get the other tips and your done, you will have save money not having to buy more earphones. You get the best of both worlds in one :)

Die "SoundTrue Ultra" kommen in der gewohnten soliden Bose Verpackung. Dabei noch zwei Uhreinsätze zum Wechseln - nämlich L und S. Die Größe M ist bereits drauf und dürfte in den meisten Fällen auf Anhieb passen. Das Kabelsystem ist komplett überarbeitet. Das Kabel selbst ist ein wenig dicker und damit robuster und an dem Punkt, an dem sich das Kabel für die beiden Seiten teilt, ist ein T - Stück eingesetzt, welches die Kabel sauber getrennt nach links und nach rechts ableitet. Sehr gut gelöst! Die Kabelfernbedienung ist auf der rechten Seite und besteht aus drei Tasten: Die mittlere (abgesenkte und damit gut spürbare) Taste ist für Start/Stop, Track vorwärts/rückwärts sowie Anrufannahme und beenden gedacht. Die anderen beiden Tasten sind für Lautstärke höher bzw. runter. Im Prinzip dasselbe wie auch beim Bose Soundlink Kopfhörer, nur sind die Tasten da noch deutlicher getrennt. Aber in einem KH Gehäuse ist das sicher einfacher zu machen, als in einer so kleinen Kabel Fernbedienung. Von daher kann das kein Kritikpunkt sein. Der Klang der SoundTrue InEars ist - einfach gesagt - sehr, sehr gut. Ich will nicht wieder alles in Bässe, Mitten und Höhen zerlegen, weil dies ohnehin extrem subjektiv ist und dem jeweiligen persönlichen Geschmack unterliegt. Der Eine liebt kräftigen Bass (zum Beispiel ich...), der Andere kann das nicht leiden. Von daher empfinde ich das Klangbild des Bose als sehr ausgewogen. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Angenehm über die gesamte Bandbreite. Es ist einfach schön, seine Musik damit zu hören. Besser kann ich es eigentlich nicht beschreiben. Was aber extrem wichtig ist, ist die Wahl des richtigen Ohrstöpsels...! Die Klangfülle wir dadurch erreicht, dass der Gehörgang sauber abgedichtet wird. Abgedichtet - nicht gewaltsam zugestopft. Das Silikon der Aufsätze ist sehr, sehr anschmiegsam und passt sich hervorragend an. Besonders, wenn es nach ein paar Minuten Körperwärme hat und dann so gut wie nicht mehr gespürt wird. Nur - bitte - solange ausprobieren, bis man tatsächlich den optimalen Sitz im Ohr hat. Ein zu kleiner Aufsatz lässt alles am Rand entweichen. Ein zu großer Aufsatz wird Falten bilden und wieder alles am Rand verlieren. Nur mit dem optimalen Aufsatz kann auch der Klang optimal sein. Bose liefert eine kleine Tragetasche dazu. Und mit "klein" meine ich tatsächlich "klein". Die Tasche, die beim Normalen SoundTrue Innar mitgeliefert wird, ist etwa doppelt so groß wie die hier beigelegte. Klar bringt man die InEars auch da rein, aber ich denke dass es nicht schaden kann, wenn die Dinger in ihrer Tasche ein wenig Platz haben. Aber da auch das nichts mit der Qualität der InEars zu tun hat, fliesst es nicht in die Bewertung ein. Denn da geht es um die Ware selbst. Und nicht um Zubehör oder die Lieferzeit... Viel Geld, keine Frage. Aber auch hervorragende Qualität.

Well.. let me tell u i am not a paid reviewer( u can acces my profile n fb n insta as i have uploaded pics of many earphines tht i have bought) NOR i have bought this from Amazon. I got it frm a bose store. I have 4 bose namely 2 soundtrues, 1 soundsport, 1 soundsport wireless n this one soundtrue ultra. Apart frm these i have senns 300x, street, creative 630, soundmagic es18, sony xb50, jbl 150. Denon ahc 260. Niw coming to high end or mid budget goe shure se215, senn momentum in ear, sony a1ap, klipsch r6i, RHA T10i n all bose Out of the above i enjoy music from bose ultra n RHA n also bose soundsport wired. Let me tell u fir bass freaks. I was also one f u a yr back n was never satisfied with any earphones fr bass. But never thought abt quality f music n vocals. These ultra babies r perfect. They let out the most balanced audio output that i have heard si far after the RHA. Mids- perfect. Little recessed but u wont notice. I m happy. U hear natural vocals. Bass- perfect too. Little bit bloated but could b due to the tips. But no regrets here as we all need some bass, isn't it?? It is though not overpowering n indeed u feel the presence as n wen u need. I have nderstood tht after a year tht its not only about bass. Treble or high range- superb. Like rha u hear all the instruments n many times u hear nuances tht u may not have heard before in ur music ir songs. While writing this review m listening to electronic music n maan such a crisper sound f drums guitars etcc. Super cool The dynamic range is not tht wide but i bet u will njoy every kind f music. I have thus fr more tht a year but thought to write a review only now after seeing many negatives. I hve seen abt wires been corroded. But guys u have to take care of ur belongings. I have all the earphones intact n few f them are 2+ yrs n no problems whatsoever. Lastly bass lines lovers.... music is not all abt bass. The bassier earphones provide bass even n normal songs n ruin them. While they do justice to songs which has deep bass but still f u listen to balanced sound u will forget bass. Also the people who don't own these babies will definitely say tht they dont like it. M adding a pic f my ear phine collection. Its a yr back n rha n bise wireless need to b put in BTW- my next BABY IS BOSE QC20I. Its coming next week Happy music n bosing

Buen producto, buen sonido, todo muy bien. Lo único es que me hubiera gustado que la bolsita para guardarlo tuviera un clip para colgarla en mi bolsa o junto con un llavero, de ahí en fuera todo muy bien

Ecouteurs d'une qualité connu. La marque bose est connue pour sa bonne qualité, ces écouteurs reflètent cela. Ils tiennent très bien dans l'oreille pour une utilisation classique (transport, marche, pour écouter à la maison etc) Nous conseillons de les utiliser pour les transports en commun; l'intra-auriculaire permet de ne presque plus entendre les sons extérieurs (certes pas aussi performant que des réductions de bruits, mais tout de même très impressionnant). En revanche nous les déconseillons pour la course à pieds : en effet on entend les câbles bouger, et au bout de quelques minutes de courses, les écouteurs tombent. Nous mettons 5 étoiles pour une utilisation autre que sportive.

cuffie spettacolari, Bose è sempre una garanzia, si adattano perfettamente alle orecchie e anche in lunghe sessioni non fanno male. Qualità del suono inutile parlarne basta leggere il marchio
