Review: 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!

Review: 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
