Review: Bose Sound True Ultra - I have owned every model of Bose earbuds,(except noise cancelling) more than a dozen pairs over the past 7-8 years. I was happy with the basic model (I listen to audio books and music) more than 8 hours per day, 7 days a week. I purchased sound true ultras when I came time to replace worn out set. Sound quality, crazy good. Loved them. Went to replace as the cord split at base. Snafu, picked up the sound sport by accident. Terrible. Sound nothing close to ultra. Tinkered with eq to improve sound. Nope. Bought ultras again. Fabulous. One flaw. My hypothesis is the inner cables are wrapped with too much twist tension, causing the cable to twist over time and use until it becomes annoying. Small gripe. And I have to use a lightning to 3.5mm dongle instead of just plugging into phone. I have done a fair amount of research on earbuds, these are in my opinion the very best. In sound quality. One last note: the silicone earpiece fits into the ear canal, eliminating a good deal of ambient environmental noise. Although not noise cancelling, I would not recommend using when riding bikes or jogging outside where hearing surrounding noise is required for safety reasons. The sound sport allows virtually unobstructed clarity of surrounding sounds. You will love them! There might be a bettter sounding unit, but not for 129.
Review: Get what you pay for (worth it)! - 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 desertcart 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these as water-resistant as the Sport variety? I work out a lot and sweating has been an issue for me in the past with Bose earbuds.**
A: Great question. The Bose SoundTrue Ultra in-ear headphones are optimized for sweat and weather resistance in the same way that the Bose SoundSport headphones are.

**Q: Does the middle button on the Apple version at least work for starting/stopping music & for answering calls on an Android? I have both devices. Thanks**
A: Hi, it works for both version smartphone to start/stop the music and answer the call.

**Q: Wire cracking problem?**
A: I have had these headphones for 2 years and they work perfectly I am now having a wire cracking problem and I'm losing sound on one ear but they made it two years with almost daily use I guess nothing lasts forever

**Q: Do these earbuds work in a ps4 controller**
A: Glad that you asked!  The microphone on these headphones will only work with Apple or Android devices.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bose should be ashamed to sell these....
*by S***T on December 7, 2017*

Shameful. I’ve had a few different models of Bose in-ear and around ear products over the years, all of which were outstanding. Currently still using my AE2’s, but wanted an in-ear model for working out, hiking, etc. I received these and was completely mystified. No bass at all, only mid and high range, literally ZERO bass. When received, the product was still factory sealed and undamaged as far as I could tell. I unplugged these and connected a set of iPhone earbuds that I received with my iPhone, yep, there was bass with those. Not so with these. How in the world did this pass quality control? ******Update 12/07/17******* Returned these to Amazon and purchased same product from Best Buy. Turns out, Amazon shipped me what appears to be a returned or used item. On comparison to the Best Buy purchase, the item Amazon sent me was missing some items from the box. The product from Best Buy was very good, typical of Bose quality. I can only rate sound quality, not durability, since I’ve just purchased the item. Good bass, not punchy, but very present. Warm and rich mid range with crisp high’s. Very good product. Shame on you Amazon for trying to pass this item off as new...
