Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the headphones. Some mention that the sound is pristine, comfortable, and sound proof enough to keep out noise. The bass is really soft and low in frequency, while others say that it was terrible and assumed it had something to do with either the highs or the earbuds. The highs are not loud and clear enough, the mids are ok, but the bass varies depending on song. It's not a noise-cancelling headphone, and the buds call out a lot.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I believe these maybe the most comfortable headphones on the market. You will be hard pressed to find something so lightweight. This is what almost every review i cross checked agrees on. in other words the comfort is UNDENIABLE
Ok BASS ! everyone is moaning and groaning about bass or lack thereof, let me put this into context. The bass response is clear and beautiful. It is deep on only some songs and it adds depth to them it is not just over the top bass. So if your a bass fanatic, steer clear and buy some subwoofers. Can i say rock music sounds fantastic on these headphones, wow...
I recommend listening to: Everybody loves me - One republic. On another system - car speakers, home speaker, other headphones and then listen to it on these headphones. The difference is astonishing. The drums sound like i am in the studio next to drummer himself.
The sound is so pristine that i usually maintain the volume 3-4 deviations under the max volume. I never ever put max when i am jamming. its unnecessary. Some songs are much higher/lower than other and therefore require adjusting but that is usually not the case. And even on the lower set songs i don't need to max out. I notice that the closer you get to max the cleaner the sound - instead of distortion you get more clarity which is impressive.
So think about that, i NEVER put it at max, to put this into context - i have a $100 pair of seinheisser In ear momentum 2 (ear buds) and i find myself at max often.
Isolation - They isolate so well that if i am rapping along to all the words of a song in my house i CANNOT hear myself! that is insane. I have to scream to be able to hear my voice. and mind you this is not at max volume.
Looks - I would compare this to a Stock Honda civic Si. Clean and Sleek, but not eye catching or breathtaking. As a matter of fact if what you are looking for is based on attractiveness, you could do much better.
I want to clarify something that a few amazon reviews and even video reviews spoke of, that is: that plastic on the headphones felt cheap. I disagree whole heartedly because it looks like it was constructed to be lightweight on purpose, but the feeling of cheap never came across.
Ok once last thing the cord is kinda long so you will be in a good place if you try and buy something to wrap the cord and adjust it when you need less or more. Actually the cord is the only thing that feels cheap. the adjusting for the size of your head is very crisp it doesn't move without some strong pull, feels sturdy.
One last thing that gets overlooked, the kbps will definitely affect the listening experience. so a song at 320 Kbps is going to sound way better than the same song at 190 kbps. I can already tell which of my songs are lower quality when i listen with these headphones.
I love that the cord and the ear muff can be replaced.
TO ALL THE REVIEWS WHO CLAIM THE RIGHT EAR DOESN'T WORK OUT OF THE BOX - this is completely false. There is an "extra click" that it takes when pushing in the 2.5mm jack side of the cord to get full sound. Right away we thought we were having the same issue as these reviews, with intermittent sound in the right ear, but then I simply pushed up harder and the jack had a small but noticeable "click" at the very top of the entry point. Nothing but clean sound from BOTH EARS since then - instead of jumping to conclusion assuming a product is faulty, try everything you can to make it work!
Carry case is nice, fits over the ear as advertised. Would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade from a basic pair, as it offers clean sound without breaking the bank.
For those who have reported that they couldn't get sound out of both sides, I suggest ensuring that you push the connector all the way in to the left side of the headphone. I had to try that a few times to get it working. Since then it has been pure bliss.
I definitely hear a wider variety of clear and crisp tones, notes, sounds and beats with this headphone than I do with various other headphones I use. Those who have written about the comfort factor of these headphones are spot on. As are those who have written about how solid the mechanism feels as you're expanding and contracting the headband. The fact that they lay flat and compact when going into the case they come with makes them ideal for carrying in your bag without using up a ton of space.
I purposely did not want wireless or ANC (Active Noise Canceling). Wireless comes with its own down sides such as pairing issues and charging issues that I did not want to deal with. I only switch to wireless headphones when I'm in a crowded underground train, etc. Otherwise I prefer to be wired. ANC comes at the cost of sound quality and I often need to hear what's going on around me, e.g. is the ticket collector approaching my seat on the train, is someone asking me a question, etc. So, from my viewpoint, I got the best set of headphones I could have gotten and my wife spent less than $100. That's a win-win in my book.

Nos volvemos a encontrar en este su espacio. Primero que nada quiero establecer un par de puntos para esta reseña, los cuales definirán el resto de la misma. 1) Compré estos audifonos en el celebre "Buen Fin" del 2016, leyeron bien, 2016, aquí con mis amigos de Amazon. Por lo que es una reseña verdaderamente a conciencia sobre su calidad e audio y materiales de construcción. 2) Como comentaba, al comprarlos en el buen fien, obtuve un mejor precio, qué tan mejor? Deben pregutnarse, muy pero muy bueno, les contesto. Adquirí estos audífonos por $1,600 MXN Es decir, casi la mitad, y mi reseña está basada en ese precio y no el precio de lista.
Una vez establecido eso, comenzemos!
He vivido con estos nenes durante casi 18 meses, tengo eperiencia con audifonos bonitos como Sennheiser, Audio Technica, Shure, AKG y por supuesto, con los míticos audífonos de ETN. Además de experiencia en producción y mezcla de audio en estudio, por lo que a mi no me vienen con cuentos y no los uso para escuchar los mas grandes hits de 50 Cent ni perreo intenso. Una vez establecidas mis credenciales para charolear al respetable, pues, qué les digo, Bose es sinonimo de calidad, de eficiencia y confianza. Hermanitos, por dónde comenzamos? Creo que por lo más obvio y general, acompañenme.
Lo primero que resalta de estos audífonos es su diseño, es sobrio es elegante, no muy llamativo pero con estilo. En mi caso los tengo en negro y es un negro mate, sobrio digno de cualqueir alto ejecutivo pero a su vez de cualquier muchachón en onda. Aunque todo el headset es de plástico es de gran caldiad, se siente solido, con un gran acabado yna flexibilidad verdaderamente ramarcabla, si rompes estos, es porque eres un chimpance. En cuanto a la diadema está bellamente acolchada con memory foam por lo que simplemente no los sentirás puestos, son ridiculamente comodos, y casi no se sienten, son súper ligeros pero súoer ligeros en un buen sentido, repito, su manufactura es excelente, a pesar del plástico se sisnte que resistirán años. Por cierto, vienen cin una funda semi rigida de tacto piel muy pero muy bonita que los protegerán perfectamente en viajes y traslados, quiero recalcar este punto porque otros audífons de gama alta tan sólo tran una bolsita blandita y creo que eso es inaceptable, en cambio Bose nos da una funda rigida que me recuerda a los estuches para CD's, en donde traóias al menos 24 CD's, y si te acuerdas dee eso, hermano, ya estamos grandes.
Seguimos con el cable, el cual es bastante delgado, quizá demasiado, no se sisnte muy top, aunque no se enreda facilemente. Y aquí llegamos a un punto clave, la entrade de audio a los Bose en cuestión no es de 3 mm sino de mm por lo que si piensan cambiar eventualemte el cable, no pordrán usar uno estandar de 3.5 mm a 3.5mm sino de 2.5mm a 3.55mm, e cual desde luego existe pero pues no podrán comprar en Radio Shack. Para ello recomiendo Ebay. Y si, por si no quedaba claro, el cable es "detachable" es decir, podrán remover el cable de los audífonos en cuestión en cualqueir momento.
Las almohadillas de los auriculares, son una verdadera joya, una de las cartas mas fuertews de los SoundTrue son su comodidad ridu¿iculamente buena, sus almohadillas son de memory foam y tras 18 meses de uso diario están como nuevas y no exagero, son una verdadera delicia en conjunto con el acolchado de la diadema. De verdad, insisto, son preciosas.
Pero bueno, vamos por lo que todos vinieron el audio, papá. Insisto, todo esto está bajo la premisa de que me costaron 1600 MXN, por su precio regular, creo que hay mejores opciones.
Tras usarlos a diario por varias horas durante 18 meses, les puedo decir que el audio para usuario es optimo, estamos hablando del sujeto que usa estos audífonos con su celularm su laptop o tableta. Sin ninguna clase de amplificador y mucho menos equipo analogo, de ser así, ustedes son unos pillos y no sé qué hacen aquí.
Un buen día estás en el trabajo, sales a caminar y pones Spotify (en sonido "extremo" of course"), pues estos audífonos son para ti, cocnoes la diferencia de audio mp3 VS Flac, estos son para ti. Estos nenes te darán un audio bastante equilibrado, aunque sin ser 100% planos. Los bajos son precisos, son concisos, no conocen distoprsión, pero no están "sobre maquillados" los medios son muy lindos, muy armonicos y los altos, no son perfectos pero van muy bien con el conjunto de audio ofrecidos por los Soundtrue.
Estos audífonos para mis son "over ear" para el tamaño de mis orejas, que creo son estandar, simplemnte cubren toda mi oreja, ahora, si ustedes son de orejas muuuy grandes y eran apodados en la colonia como el "Chore" o similares, quizá sean over ear, pero eso no es culpa de Bose, sino de su genetica. Pero para el resto de seres bien proporcionados y estandar, tendrán una sensación de inmersión de deleite total.
En resumen, estos audífonos son para audio de usuario, si los quieren para mezclar, para estudio o para usar con su amplificador analogo de bulbos, pues no sean ridiculos, qué hacen aqui. Este par es increible para audio de usuario, su comodidad no tiene par, su look es badass pero al millón, es audio de calidad para público exigente, e insisto público.
Si los encuentras a buen precio, cercano a lo que yo pagué, no dudes más y cómpralos y quién sabe, quizá te enamoren y esta sea tu puerta de entreada al audio de las grandes ligas.
Nota: De verdad se ven muy bien puestos, guiño guiño
Ce n'est pas au niveau de l'Audio Technical m50x que j'avais testé avant mais pas loin du tout. Par contre, le m50x était lourd alors que le Bose est très léger et confortable au point où j'oublie par moment qu'il est sur ma tête. C'est l'argument qui m'a fait craquer vu que j'utilise mon casque pour de longues voir de très longues sessions d'écoute en nomade notamment.
Je recommande donc surtout aux utilisateurs nomades qui recherchent un son de qualité et équilibré mais aussi un grand confort d'utilisation même lors de longues sessions d'écoute.
P.S : le casque est également bien construit et j'apprécie son design moderne mais sobre.
Pros: comfortable, good quality, professional design
Cons: 3.5mm to 2.5mm cord in the box
Biggest reason to buy these is because of how comfortable they are. The foam in the ear-covers is extremely comfortable, and the same foam is used on the top of the band where it rests on your head. I've worn these for hours and they were still very comfortable.
They aren't too flashy which is something I like - the matte black design looks more professional than lots of other headphones.
Audio quality is really good. While I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, music sounds amazing on them. You can clearly hear the bass but it isn't as boosted as other headphones. Highs sound crisp as well, and aren't drowned out.
The included cord is plenty long (almost too long, but it's removable so you can swap it out if you feel the need). The free end is standard 3.5mm, but the side that plugs into the headphones is 2.5mm which isn't as common as 3.5mm=3.5mm cords which is a minor inconvenience.
The iPhone version of these were on sale so I bought them even though I have an Android phone. The volume buttons don't work with Android, however the play/pause button in the middle does work.
-Good Case.
-Detachable Cable with Mic and volume control; cable looks very delicate but is actually very durable.
-Flexible Headphones,very useful while putting inside the case.Will come in handy for those who travel a lot.
-Very comfortable to wear,and as marketed,fits around your ears and not on them(Phew!)
1)Design
-Excellent design and build quality.
-Super soft cushion padding and fits perfectly around your ears,also reduces noise to very good extent.
-Can wear it for hours without irritation,however it does makes your head sweaty while walking or jogging in a hot/warm climate.
-The part of the cable which you plug into the headphone is small,so traditional male-to-male AUX cables won't work here.
Only bose's designed cable will work.
2)Sound quality
-Sound clarity is awesome.
-Quality stands out while listening to classical music or other multi-instrumental music.
-You can hear the details of each instrument precisely when different instruments being played.
-Watching movies is whole lot fun with this headphone because of the clarity,now you don't need to increase the volume to hear what the character is saying.
-Good bass,but this headphone is known for natural sound reproduction and not just high bass like other headphones do.So this product is not for bass-heads but for audiophiles.
3)Noise Cancellation
-Even though this is passive noise cancellation,It cancels external noise to a very good extent.
-Better than some well-known in-ear headphones out there.(That surprised me because I've been using SONY in-ears for over a year now).
Final thoughts:
-Value for money.
-Most parts are detachable,from ear-pads to cable,so no worry of buying an entire new headphone if you happen to damage one part of the product.
-And my only complaint is ,as I said before,the delicate cable.You have to be very careful if you frequently use it in crowded places as the cable is long and chances of it getting stuck or twisted is high.
