Customers frequently mention the SoundTrue™ Around-Ear Headphones' sound quality, comfort, and affordability. Many reviewers describe the sound quality as amazing, while others highlight the comfort of the headphones, especially during extended use. The headphones are also seen as a great value for the price. While there are a few concerns about the bass distorting at high levels and some issues with the cable and volume, these are not as widely reported as the positive aspects.

    Years ago, I bought the BOSE Sound True Around Ear Headphones but recently before a trip, I searched for it and could not find it. I must have lost it when I moved. Well, I decided to give myself a gift and I could not think of anything better that a BOSE product. I am so satisfied with it that I will tell my friends to buy for themselves or to give it as a great gift.

    The Bose sound true over the ear headphones give you emersion in to what you are hearing as if you were right there with the person talking. They feel great while they're on your ears that you could forget they were there. A great listening experience that can only come from Bose.

    I bought this headphones to use in my office. They have a good sound and they even help reduce the environmental noise. This headphones are well made and comfortable (for some time). There are two reasons why I am grading this product as a 3 start product. First, they make my ears warm very rapidly, I can wear them for about 20 minutes maximum and then I have to take them out and rest for a little while. Second, these headphones have a very nice mic and remote but it ONLY works for apple products. Although some capabilities work for android devices, I find it "amusing" that such a cutting edge brand has not yet realized that most of the phones out there are android devices.

    The sound quality is very good and the headphones are very comfortable to wear for an extended period. I also use this for phone calls and the quality is very good (I have an Android so some of the features are not available but I have yet to miss those) The cats like to play with the cord so I keep it in its carrying case when I am not using it.

    Bought these for my daughter to replace a "cheap" set. The sound quality is exactly what she wanted, the fit is perfect, and best of all, they are cute! She doesn't hear us while getting her work done and/or listening to music and we don't hear anything either. Great set.

    There's nothing like Bose for true sound reproduction without base exaggeration... found in many other brands of overpriced headphones. In addition, these are the most comfortable headphones (even among my two other Bose) that I have ever worn for more than 4hours. Case is excellent but wish they would make with handle or strap.

    I purchased these headphones for my girlfriend. She was looking for headphones that were big enough to fit around her ear while she wore earrings. This was perfect. The color also happened to be her favorite. The sound is amazing. She wears these all the time, especially while she watched movies and tv shows on Netflix.

    Very comfortable, can wear them for hours without hurting my ears. I used these to study so while I listen to music at low volumes, I cannot hear the world around me. I would definitely buy again.

    I am a student in college and use these headphones when I'm studying to drown out background noises. Although these are not soundproof (they aren't supposed to be) they do a pretty good job. They are pretty comfortable but can be a little tight at times. I would definitely recommend these to my friends.

    Bought these primarily for air travel. Although not technically noise canceling they did a great job. Great sound quality and drowned out the airplane noise. They are light weight and the case they come with allies you to stuff them in a backpack with no worry about damage. Very happy with this purchase.

    Great product. Purchased this for my father who also wears a hearing aid. He loves this headphone. Razor sharp, crystal clear sound, with great comfort over the ear. I tried the product as well and it's very good at blocking out ambient noise, even though that this isn't a noise cancelling headphone.

    Solid Listening

    I think with something like headphones, it's important to make clear where you're coming from as a user. I am not an audiophile. I have never spent more than thirty bucks on a pair of headphones and usually just listen to streaming talk radio on my phone with cheapola earbuds that I got at the discount store. My purpose in getting these headphones was to help me concentrate on work by isolating me from outside noise and letting me listen to non-distracting music/radio/whatever to help me focus at the computer. I did research and narrowed my search down to Bose SoundTrue (within a reasonable price range, had what I was looking for), either the around-the-ear or on-ear... with the in store try-on being the deciding factor, as I wear glasses and comfort around the ears was extremely important. That background in place--I am really and truly glad I invested in these headphones. Not only do they meet my purpose in helping me concentrate, but I have actually started to appreciate music again. Obviously, the quality of anything you listen to will be dependent not just on the headphones or speakers you're using, but the quality of the medium, type/size of music file, hardware, etc. But going back through my music library has been an absolute joy. Not only did I buy new headphones, but I feel like I also now have a whole new music collection to (re)discover as if I'd never really heard it before. Having a high quality pair of headphones has rekindled a love of music that I haven't had in a really long time. So far, the best experiences I've had listening with these have been to instrumental works, but some of the pop music I had has also turned out to be more interesting than I thought it was, now that I can hear the additional layers. While these have no electronic "noise cancellation" feature, I found that the around-the-ear nature of these very comfortable headphones do a great job of blocking out noise and letting you concentrate on what you're listening to. Rather than continue gushing... I'll just leave it at this. I'm glad I made this investment. I'm truly enjoying listening to music with these headphones (and I have used them for phone calls too--works great). They were pricey compared to what I've spent on audio before, but for me, it turned out to be well worth it. If you are an audiophile with a habit of listening to your music on superior equipment... well, I have no experience with that, so it's hard for me to say comparatively how you would feel about these. But for me--I love them!

    The Bose - SoundTrue Around-Ear Headphones are very comfortable and have very clear crisp sound. My wife wheres hearing aids but still has trouble hearing things on here iPad. With these she can hear her iPad and phone much better. and they do not cause feedback in the hearing aids.

    Bose top notch quality in a great color combination. The cord is a little short for my use; so I bought an extension for listening across the room. For walk around use the cord is the right length. Sound, like all Bose products, is terrific. Comes with a nice carrying case also.

    These headphones are fantastic. The sound is incredible, and they are by far the lightest headphones I've ever worn. I can wear them all day and not have headphone fatigue.

    Fantastic sound and clarity, as usual from a BOSE product! The headphones are comfortable to wear for an extended time too as they are an around the ear heap phone as opposed to those that sit flat on the ear or go in the ear. Affordable, comfortable and great sound...I love BOSE!

    They are very light and comfortable. The only thing that I would change is the chord length. It is too long. Other than that issue I LOVE these headphones. These are my first pair of headphones and they are soft and does not hurt your ears as you wear them. Overall this is a great pair of headphones to buy and I would recommend this product to people who want to begin using headphones
