Bose SoundTrue Ultra

The Bose SoundTrue Ultra are simple in-ear headphones. They don't feature wireless connectivity, nor Bose's amazing active noise-cancellation tech.

Great comfort and solid sound make these a decent pick for the daily commuter.

Bose SoundTrue Ultra review: Bose's best in-ear headphone yet

Not only is the company's first noise-isolating in-ear headphone really comfortable, but it delivers clean, well-balanced sound.

The Bose SoundTrue is one of the most comfortable in-ear headphones available and also delivers clean, well-balanced sound. The headphones stay securely in your ears, and an integrated inline remote works well for making cell-phone calls. The...

They're a little expensive.

If you're looking for a pair of clean-sounding, really comfortable in-ear noise-isolating headphones that stay in your ears, the Bose SoundTrue Ultra should be on your short list.

Bose SoundTrue Ultra White

But those models have one drawback: They have an open design, which lets sound in. That creates problems when you're in noisy environments.

They're a little expensive.

Bose SoundTrue Ultra In-Ear HEADPHONES

Extremely poor durability

I have been through three separate pairs of this product in the last two years. The cable near the headphone jack and the volume control would always fray and eventually the device would stop functioning. Sound quality is decent, but one would expect...

Fantastic.

The sound quality is lovely from these in ear headphones. I have read on reviews, where they say the sound is tinny. It's not tinny at all. The sound is so clear and of good quality. They are loud too, with no distoration. Just one thing, the case is...

Just don't do it

I have owned a few Bose earphones, and this one is the worst. I bought it kind of knowing what I would get, but I just didn't want to believe it. The earphones arrived today and I have already decided to return it. I usually listen to music while...
