Bose SoundTrue Ultra in-Ear Headphones - Samsung and Android Devices, Charcoal

I love these headphones. After trying 4 different in-ear style headphones over the last couple years I finally found the ones I'll use from now on. Admittedly, I tried a few different models in the $15-30 range. While the sound quality with those was good-enough, the fit just wasn't there. With the Bose, the "sharkfin" holds the headphone in your ear so you don't have to rely on the headphone being wedged in your earlobe so it doesn't fall out.Thats the smart design aspect with these. Most earbuds rely on being firmly in place so they don't fall out. Problem is that causes soreness after a while. Also, with the Bose I use the medium ear tip. Along with the sharkfin this means the earbud can fit a little loose, preventing soreness. Also means that the earbuds don't have to block all outside sound. I like to be aware of my surroundings (eg. in the office). But if you want use the ear tip that provides a more firm fit to block more sound.Sound quality is what I would call natural with no over emphasis on the bass or treble, and no distortion. No complaints there.Are they worth $100 more than my Amazon purchased bluetooth headphones? Sound quality wise maybe not. But in terms of fit definitely. By the way, speaking of bluetooth, I happily ditched the bluetooth capability for three reasons. First, having bluetooth means the headphones need to be more bulky. Next, bluetooth headphones are just one more thing to keep charged. Last, most important, my hope of using bluetooth headphones to mow the lawn were squashed when I found the range to be about 20 ft. Back to carrying my phone, and therefore defeating the purpose of bluetooth, in my case.BTW, others have complained with the sound of the chord rubbing against clothing telegraphing through the headphones so you can hear it. My take is this happens with all headphones to a degree. If it happens more with these its because Bose made the chord a little thicker and more durable. There is a clip on the chord to keep it in place more. Also worth trying is to run the chord between your short and body.Bought these not sure if I was going to keep them, thinking it would be hard to justify the cost. If they last a few years, in my opinion it worth it.

Great fit; great sound; ears don't hurtI don't understand where all the negative reviews are coming from. Everyone who has tried in ear phones, know for a fact that most of them begin to hurt after a while - and this is one of the most important aspects where Bose completely nailed the design! Try them out to believe it. These are super comfortable Sound wise, I like what I hear :) I had heard from some that the bass is low, well I think these are perfect for the in ear phones, and they do a pretty decent job at noise cancellation though not go all the way! All in all its an excellent buy though could be a tad cheaper! Typical Bose, meaning open clean vocals and mids, punchy snappy lows not boomy, and clean flat highs, but theres a little bump in the upper mid area maybe around 10k thats a little hot and sometimes you can hear it with the letter "S" But seriously these are not for kids that think Boomy bass, no mids and extra highs is the way to set an eq. These are for actually enjoying music, beautiful vocals, punchy bass and clean highs. Dance Music pumps in these things. They arent loud and loose some power but again theyre for enjoying music. I love them

Both my mom and I love this earbuds, good sound quality, really, really, really comfortable wear, perfect for long flights or train rides. Also, it makes a really good gift. I usually buy 5 of them for my mom every now and then so she can give them away to close friends.The wire is different from the last time I bought them, it used to be the twisting wire that does not tangle at all, but now it just looks like normal wire...don't know if it'll un-tangle by itself anymore.....

Ok... Look: I am a huge FAN of music, but I am not an audiophile and I've never been able to afford Bose headphones before. I bought a pair of these for my husband for his birthday. He liked them very well, and I finally got sick of crappy earbuds/headphones dying after a couple of months, or sounding like I'm wearing them in the pool... so I bought a pair. I expected that I would need to buy aftermarket small gaskets for my ears. Most buds fall out of my ears, so I've mostly had the over-the-ear type (which are sooooo impractical). These, however, FIT. They fit quite well. They sound GREAT.I have noticed that the microphone is a little noisy, but you know... it's MILES above what I had, and it doesn't bother me at all.I listen to minimalist modern orchestral music, ambient music, trip hop and jazz. The ambient and minimalist orchestral music means that there is a lot of ambient silence in the works I enjoy. These headphones represent these silences in a way that makes my heart stop. The drama is back in my music, and I LOVE that. This is at the top end of my budget. I had to save to buy them, but I am definitely happy that I did!!
