Bose SoundTrue Around-Ear: A classic headphone gets a cosmetic upgrade

2014-08-08
this is the bose soundtrue around ear headphone the rebranded version of the company's popular a e2i headphone it carries the list price of one 7995 but cost closer to one hundred and fifty dollars online hi I'm David cardo and I'd like to tell you that Bose has improved the sound of the headphone but alas the changes are really just cosmetic with this new model coming in new more eye-catching colors that are perhaps designed to appeal to younger headphone shoppers you can't really tell that from the headphone I have here which is a kind of subdued black but yes there are some other colors which are funkier poses around your headphones or over ear as these types of cans are often called have always been known for being relatively lightweight and very comfortable the design of this model really hasn't changed much over the years though this new version folds flat and comes with a new nicer carrying case while it's not as compact as the soundtrue on-ear it's still a pretty good travel headphone even if it doesn't feature the noise canceling circuitry of boses QuietComfort models as for features the headphone quart is detachable and that cord has an integrated three button remote and microphone for making cell phone calls this is an apple friendly model so not all the remote features will work with Android and Windows phones this headphone sounds good and delivers smooth generally well balanced fairly open sound for a closed back headphone like the on ear this is a pleasant headphone to listen to but doesn't offer quite as refined sound as some competing models it's what I like to call a safe headphone in that it makes most music and most music sources sound decent as long as you aren't expecting audiophile grade sound plotting most people should be pretty pleased with its performance at around $150 I wouldn't call this a bargain but it is a very likable headphone that's quite comfortable and sounds decent it's also nice to see Bose branch out with some funky er color options after being pretty conservative for all these years I'm David Conroy and that's the bose soundtrue around ear thanks for watching
