Bose SoundTrue Around-Ear Headphones II review

Bose currently has three full-size headphones in its lineup: the noise-canceling QuietComfort 25 , the wireless SoundLink Around-Ear Wireless II , and its latest passive over-ear, the SoundTrue Around-Ear II headphone , reviewed here. It carries a US...

Bose SoundTrue Around-Ear II is a lightweight, very comfortable over-ear headphone that offers smooth sound with well-defined bass. Its new design, with a wider headband, seems more durable than its predecessor's and its sealed earcups do a good job...

Supreme comfort ; Lightweight

Sound quality doesn’t match the price

Amateur enthusiasts and audiophiles-to-be look away. The SoundTrue headphones won’t satisfy. But for those of you who are more sporadic listeners, or need an all-purpose set of headphones capable of high quality sound, these headphones might be worth...
