I have been using this earphone since last 2years. Design of this product is worst and because of the wire is getting torn. Wire quality is also worst, it is worst than Rs. 100 earphone. Never expect this quality from Bose. However sound is amazing.

The build quality is really sub-standard for the price!! And I hate this part. My pair survived only 2 years with the rubber surrounding the earbuds (not the soundtrue eartips) cutting at several places.. I'm thoroughly dejected with the durability... Balanced sound overall.. So much that they would neither please the bass loves nor the treble-lovers.. they're there somewhere in between. Delivers superb mids though.. They say they contribute to R&D in the universities in the US...but should that be done using customer money? hefty money for a substandard product, and fund R&D using the customers pocket?

I bought this airphone for my iPhone 6 Plus. Sound quality is amazing and deep bass groove is too good to hear. But the connecting cable is too thin and broke with in 2or 3 months itself. I gave to the store they replaced with new one and again same problem happened and again I gave to the store and again replaced and 3rd time happened like this. But I had only one year warranty. Finally I vexed and went to the SHURE brand now I am using that one. I totally disappointed with this one and my money also gone waste. Still I love Bose brand headphones and future I’ll buy new type of headphone with good quality of connecting cord if they release better one.

I bought (one) week ago, this is my first Bose headphone, I already have Sennheiser momentum, Shure, Beats. Sound quality is neutral, built quality is not worth for money. You pay for Brand name.

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 better from Bose. Would not recommend due to the shoddy workmanship of the product, its simply not worth it.

Over the past 3 years I have been using these headphones! I love them so much. They are the only pair of headphones that fully fit and give me the best possible sound. 10/10 would recommend

Heard about the problem of this pair, so bought it with a special offer for a try and test. As a big fan of Bose products, never be disappointed with their sound quality. But there are some design problems with this one. The material of the cable shell is the problem, the plastic material itself can stand for long and seems to be able to 'extend the product life' compared with the soft 'rubber' cable. However, with this type of material, noises from any motion and contact with the cable, like vib and scratch, are easily transferred to the earplugs. It seems the plugs will only work well if you sit steady. In addition, after operation for a while, local buckling is noticed close to the joints of the relatively stiff cable and may significantly affect the signal transmission. Furthermore, the cable joint and root material is too 'hard' and would lead to local buckling of the cable itself very easily. Overall, some efforts could be noticed trying to improve the product I guess but non-success with cable design mistakes. Earplugs themselves are still with good quality, comfortable with amazing sound quality.

Bought the lower model and it was great. Bought this one and its HORRIBLE. Cant hear the music properly if you are moving, the interference from the wires moving reverberates back to the earbuds. You can hear yourself breathing !!! Don't buy this product.

Bought this headphones to replace my apple earpods. The idea was to spend a little more in a better pair of headphones but I think it wasn't a good decision. Despite a good sound quality and excellent sound isolation (eventhough they'r not noise cancelling) headphones don't have a good mic. Usually I have to answer a lot of calls while driving or riding bike, with the apple earpods while in a call, people heard me without any problem. With Bose headphones, i'm having trouble when i'm speaking, people can't hear me well. The materials of the actual ear piece is very nice and well made, but the cable has a material that seems a low quality one. I think in less than a year the edges of the cable will peel and break. I also own Bose OE2 and feels better built than this headphones. Hope that the 2 year warranty will cover my product.

Why would anyone make a product specifically for apple devices with a mini jack connector these days. If you were hoping to drop your converter with these headphones look somewhere else. Sound quality isn't good enough to make up for having to use an adapter.

This earphones are just awful- I’m on my third replacement under warranty!! I wouldn’t have bothered to go through the rigmarole but it’s a principle now. I just can’t believe that Bose have allowed such a poor product to be released. On the positive side their customer services is very good and thorough when dealing with complaints. However I certainly won’t be calling them again - for a simple reason- I will be purchasing different earphones from now on!

First of all, all my headphones are Bose's, including the QC 35, QC 30, and two QC 20, and this one, the SoundTrue Ultra in-ear. I love them all, except the Ultra in-ear!. This one is unbearable to use for longer than an hour! It builds so much pressure on the ears that makes very uncomfortable, notwithstanding that destroys the sound quality. I swear that after hardly one week using this headphone (less than a total of five hours of use), I had an eardrum rupture in one of my ears! Sure, I love the "StayHear" tips, and this is the reason I purchased this one. But I don't understand why Bose chose a sealed acoustic design; this does not work with the StayHear tips, Bose! You don't have to block outside noise to create a good sound quality headphone. I do write reviews, but I am extremely disappointed!

Used it for about 1.5 year. Sound is perfect, compared to stock samsung/apple trash. The main problem is VERY poor wire quality. I prefer braided wires, but here is not the case. Over time appears glitch: left speaker stopped working.

I am writing this review about the older model (Bose in ear headphones 2008 and 2014). I am not sure weather the problem is still there. I bought two pairs of them one very first when they released around 2008 and the other one in 2014. Both gave me impressive sound and there is no doubt that I am truely happy with the sound quality. But there is always a problem with wires. Both my earphones ended up with broken insulator. but sound quality is still the same. there is no problem with the sound quality. Only the wires does not last longer. I have few Bose products and I love the brand. I think Bose should pay more attention to use reliable wires for their headphones.

I bought it a year and a half ago and I've kept it only in it's carrying case and yesterday, right headphone stopped working! I paid a serious amount of money to it and I love love, love the sound quality and noise cancellation but its durability is so poor. I e-mailed the Boss distributor but they didn't write me back yet. I hope I can get it fixed.

I have had 3 Bose in-ear phones, this ones sound terrible, don't buy them. Poor quality sound, they sound cheap. The design got worse and are unconfortable. Bose didn't let me upload my original review because "profanity".

If you want to buy headphones that you have to return every 6 months because something is always wrong with them these are the ear phones for you! The first time I returned them was because one headphone was louder then the other which they sent me new ones which then proceeded to rip on the bottom area where the jack inserts. When I called they said it was most likely because it was a refurbished pair. You would think the third time is the charm but now about 5 months in with a new pair the buttons for the volume and speaker phone don’t work... awesome I wounder what the next pair that they give me will do.

I'm a Bose fan who has bought various headphones, sound bars through the years. They've all been great and I would have scored them all very highly... But then I bought these recently for my commute to work (walk). They are absolutely terrible - not only for a Bose product, but as a product generally. The noise through the cable is really irritating but admittedly if you stand still, they're okay. I hope the brand quality isn't starting to fail but it amazes me how a product with such a fundamental flaw passed Bose's quality testing and made it to market... it may be time to move on

I bought these to replace an earlier version that I'd had for years and loved, that became frayed on the wires. The earpiece is slightly different. the sound is excellent IF I am sitting PERFECTLY still. But any movement I make, any turn of the head or step I take, any rustle of clothing, is horribly amplified in the ears and is too distracting to enable enjoyment of the music I'm trying to listen to. I tried the earpieces from the old pair; poor sound quality.

I brought this earphones a month ago and there is no way I could go back to any other cheap branded earphones. They really are worth the price. The sound quality is crisp and when listening g to music loud, it pretty much cancels out the background noise. However, for some reason this earphones broke within few weeks but literally within 6 days I got them replaced. So I am really, really happy with this product and the customer service.

I have multiple bose products and have used their headphones/ earphones for years. I have an old set that looks like the soundsport and they ROCK its a shame that pair has exceeded their lifespan. These are lackluster in their low range response, high range is weak, and the balance between left and right side is pathetic at best. Volume output is poor compared to similar models.. Highly disappointed as these were well over the now advertised price.

I have been a Bose fan for many years. This product, like all of their others, has incredible sound what with its highs and lows. Also, the customer service is absolutely the best I have ever dealt with. Whenever there has been any type of issue, which is very little, they have gone above and beyond to fulfill the situation. Don't hesitate or question ordering this set. Once again, it is an excellent product.

My recommendation is to not buy this product. This product is using very cheap quality wires. The joints of this wire will decay very easily and results in headphone damage! I used hardly one hear, now need to buy new one!

I bought these about a year ago, and I use them nearly every day. I've taken them across the world a few times, and they are great on planes. As long as you have music on, the crying babies are more than drowned out. My only issue (hence the 4/5) is that the volume down button has lost its clickiness. It still works, if you pinch it as hard as you can. While this is a bother, I don't mind using my phone's volume buttons. As for comfort, they are fine if you leave them in. If you take them in and out a ton, they can make your ears feel a bit sore, or perhaps I have a size too large for the earpieces.

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 too small, but, that does not put me off them. 5 star product.

I've had my headphones just over a year now and have to admit I didn't keep them in the case all the time when not using them. I'd stuff them in my purse or put them in my coat pocket until using them the next day. The wiring is coming off on every end now - so they won't last me much longer ... I wish the wiring were alittle more durable.
