Bose SoundTrue Around-ear

Advantages: - Sound (really pleasant).
- Weight (they are weightless, I wear them all day in the office and don’t feel them).
- Good insulation.
- I'll take the advantage of the fact that the headphones "Around-ear", i.e. they don’t put pressure on the ears at all, but lie around them, this fact is significant for me, because headphones, lying on the ears, often very quickly tire to pain in the ears.
“The cable, though thin, is not frail, it is not tied into knots.

Disadvantages: Plastic, wire - it all looks like a toy, although it does not break, does not creak. Any friction or impact on the cable is transmitted to the ears, as on the most unpretentious headphones, in this respect there is no “protection”.

Comment: Bought on sale green headphones (for 5000r), now the most fashionable in the office.

Advantages: 1. Convenience. They do not feel on the head. No, really: practically weightless, with insanely soft (like a foam) which has ear-fitting ear cushions, a light and finely tuned handle and hinged fasteners of the headphones themselves, these AEs do not leave any discomfort even after long hours. Checked in person :)
2. Sound. Oh, this bowse sound! Once heard, it sinks into the soul at the very same thing, and sits there, not wanting to get out :) The two most faithful words - light and atmospheric (yes, at the same time!). No squeezing, pulsing, pressing on the ears of the bass or cutting high - everything seemed to be “fitted” to each other by an experienced master's hand, without failures. A picture that makes you squint with pleasure and stamp on every favorite piece of music. And do not care what you listen to in life. Classic, jazz, pop, rock, modern electronics, blows of crowbars on rails ... - they play everything easy and carefree, not soaring about the complexity of the track, without rattling and hum, but so bright that you forget about their weightlessness - the level of sound where as more solid and heavy personal audio representatives.
3. Case. This very moment, when the excitement rises in the shower even before you touch the headphones themselves. I don’t know about carrying - rather big, unequivocally (offhand, 200 by 200 mm, maybe a little smaller), but the ears in it will be insured from any surprises - it is a fact. Tight, with a slight increase in the ribs and no bumpiness inside the headphones tucked in - good protection.

Disadvantages: 1. Cable. Grrr !!! Perhaps Bose engineers thought about preserving the image of the airiness of the headphones and therefore did not equip them with a more impressive cable, but this! A subtle posting, "worthy" of some sort of "three hundred senkhov", and by no means this little personal musical magic. Yes, it is detachable, but today it is difficult to surprise. Flimsy, thin ... nondescript one. Well, not serious, damn it! If only she put on a sheath.
2. Cable. Part two. And what, except for iPhones, does the technology not exist? But the three buttons, but here only up and down (back and forth? Left and right?) Work only with gnawed products and lazily yawn in response to attempts to press owners of other systems. Average, however, and answers the call, and pauses in the song (tested on the Lumia 1520 and Galaxy S5 mini). Well, at least something ...
3. Plastic headphones. Thinly slightly, to be honest. Somewhere in the subway, for example, I am afraid that this will not be a serious obstacle to the rumble of carriages. Although it is a compromise between lightness and soundproofing :)

Comment: Perfectly seated (both in terms of convenience and design), with a stunning sound of "ears" that you simply do not want to shoot - there is nothing more to say. Although, I lie, there is something: they are not monitors, but they will present you the quality of the reproduced track on a silver platter. And 128-kilobit trash will be a real nightmarish revelation for you :)

Advantages: Sound quality. Sit comfortably

Disadvantages: Short wire

Comment: Bought an office for a PC. To complete the sensations, you must purchase at least a simple sound card. I myself listen to Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio. The sound is awesome. I think the ears are worth the money

Advantages: great sound

Disadvantages: straight plug

Comment: long chose headphones for his iPhone 6, eventually opted for this model. Wireless models are not considered in principle - I think the sound quality is more important. At first I wanted to buy with Bose qc 25, but after reading the reviews I decided that the noise suppressor is a very controversial fitch, not really necessary for my lifestyle - office work, rare business trips. The headphones really liked the sound, although I am not spoiled in this regard, but still. I think a very successful model of headphones for a smartphone. They sit perfectly on the head, ambyushurs well absorb external noises. I listen to different genres from lunge to rock - I use Spotify and the equalizer built into the program. Feel free to recommend for purchase. With the current dollar rate is expensive, but believe me - they are worth it!

Advantages: 1. Sound !! Immediately I say, I listen flac 16 / 44.1. The sound is very detailed, "truthful" without obvious distortion. In these headphones, the songs that I liked before, I want to re-listen and re-listen again, and those that used to switch right away now I listen to the end. The sound is really "delicious"! It should be understood that they will not sound better than headphones in 2-3 times more expensive, but in this price category (150-200 dollars) they just "tear everyone"!
2. Convenience! This is something that can be put even in the first place, because you simply don’t notice them on your head, at least in an hour, at least in 2-3.
3. Sound insulation. When you put on headphones, everything becomes quieter by 20-30%. Surrounding hear almost nothing, even at a fairly decent volume.
4. Compatibility. Although the manufacturer does not give exact characteristics, my phone (galaxy s3 + boeffla) reveals them perfectly. I compared the sound of these headphones with the players fiio x5, dx90 the difference in sound quality with my phone seemed to me not significant. (Although players sound better with other headphones)
5. Price. I think that the price is more than adequate (7800 p. In Moscow in May 2015)
6. Removable cable. Standard connector that can be easily changed if necessary. I think that you can find a cable with a headset for android.

Disadvantages: 1. For me, too youth design (blue cable is generally a separate song). IMHO ae2 look much more nice.
2. The cable is quite thin, does not seem super reliable. But for now everything is ok.
3. All plastic. This is not a disadvantage, rather a niggle, because AE2 users write that headphones are more reliable than they seem.
4. Cable with headset for apple. Well, here you just need to understand that the headphones are initially oriented to iphone users, so this is more likely for the attention of future owners.

Comment: If you choose headphones, then you can read reviews about bose ae2. This is almost the same model, it is slightly "dopili".
First, bose ae2 headphones came into my hands, took them with delivery, and since there was only one display case in the store, they came to me in an open box. I listened to them all day with great pleasure, and in the evening I discovered that there was a slight tear in the place where the cable fits into the connector. The next day I went to the store and they offered to replace them with ae2i, because they did not have ae2 models, they also saw a soundtrue model there. The sound of these headphones I liked a little more, so I decided to pay a little extra and took them.I’ll say right away that they differ from ae2 by a replaceable cable, on ae2 there is a plastic part at the end of the cable, which is inserted into the headphones, a sound connector on the soundtrue, so that it will be easier to find a replaceable cable.
I’ve been listening to headphones for a little over a month and I’m very pleased; ostry-06 gave my girls gags, and I use only them myself. A great option if you want to get a great detailed sound, comparable to the sound of music fans, even with such a source as a smartphone with a DAC.
