These new products are specially developed to work with Apple products , and it will be the owners of the iPhone , iPad and iPod , who will get the most out of them. And is that these headband headphones have a control knob with a microphone embedded in the cable. Anyway, the manufacturer emphasizes that they can work with many of the smartphones currently on sale on the market.

The Bose SoundTrue family consists of two models: the Bose SoundTrue Around-Ear (on-ear) and the Bose SoundTrue On-Ear (on-ear). All are light, comfortable, resistant and with a modern look. They both weigh the same, but the Around-Ear have slightly larger ear pads. Aside from black and white, the most distinctive color in the range is mint green, either alone or in combination with others such as black or purple.

The brand's engineers have carefully selected the materials when making these headphones ; they are built to last and to withstand long listening sessions throughout the day. The cable can be detached from the right shell for storage. And the headphones themselves are foldable to fit in any purse, purse or backpack.

Design

Every detail in the design of the Bose SoundTrue exudes freshness from every pore. They help the selection of colors, but also its modern and street look. They are all over- ear headphones , and they are created to always be comfortable. The headband is adjustable and is padded on the upper band, which is the one that rests on the head. The ear cushions are covered with a soft-touch material and inside they have a memory foam effect to fit the ears. It doesn't matter how long the listening sessions are, because they are comfortable and, on top of that, light. All models in the family weigh only 140 grams .

There are two models within the family: the Around-Ear andthe On-Ear . The SoundTrue Around-Ear have a circumaural configuration that surrounds the contour of the ear. With the same weight, they are larger than their catalog companions. On the other hand, the SoundTrue On-Ear are supra-ear type, and are semi-open. Both are available in four colors ; three of them common: white, black and mint green . Now, the Around-Ear also come in a combination of black and mint green , while the On-Ear come in purple with mint green .

Bose engineers have also created headphones that are easy to transport, because they are foldable, so they take up minimal space and also travel safely. Shells can be rotated to lay flat, but they can only be rotated in one direction and should not be forced. At the end they fit inside the small protective zippered sleeve that is supplied inside the package.

Sound

The Bose SoundTrue are designed to provide clear and natural sound. They work with a wide range of frequencies, from the deepest bass to the highest notes of singers. They can not only reproduce instruments faithfully, but also voices. And they are intended for music and calls. The American manufacturer has incorporated its proven TriPort acoustic technology into these headphones. It is a structure specially designed to achieve a balanced and rich sonic performance. It allows to build light and small headphones, but with a good behavior in the low frequencies.

These Bose headphones do not incorporate active noise cancellation technologies. However, they provide some insulation against external noise derived from their design; a little more the SoundTrue Around-Ear model , because it has slightly larger pads that follow the contour of the ears. There is a 2.5 mm connector between the right shell and the cable, which at the other end is terminated in a stereo minijack connector (3.5 mm), which is the most popular in today's smartphones. It is common in all types of portable audio players, tablets and laptops. The cable length is 167.6 centimeters, more than enough to carry the mobile device in your pocket.

Control knob with microphone

The control knob with microphone is embedded in the middle of the cable. It is very fine and has a keypad on one side and the microphone goes on the other. This must be taken into account when speaking, to ensure that the microphone is not covered by clothing. There are three buttons : volume up, volume down, and answer / end. This answer / end button (located in the middle) brings together various functions related to phone calls, voice commands and audio and video playback. It is designed to work with Apple products . According to the manufacturer, it is only fully compatible with iPhone 3GS and later models , iPads ,iPod Touch (from the second generation onwards, the iPod Classic (120 GB and 160 GB), and the iPod Nano (from the fourth generation or later). The buttons on the controller are compatible with the iPod Shuffle (from the third generation onwards And the audio works with all iPad and iPod models, and Bose notes that SoundTrue headphones are compatible with most current smartphones.

The basic functions of the control button include raising and lowering the volume, answer a call, hang up a call, reject an incoming call and use voice control. It also allows you to switch from an incoming call to another that is on hold. Furthermore, there are various multimedia content playback functions . User can play or pause a song or video. Skip to the next song or the next chapter, or go to the previous song or the previous chapter. Go forward or go backward.

accessories

The manufacturer also plans to market various accessories for this family of headphones. After all, you've created products that are built to last. That is why it never hurts for the consumer to have spare parts available for the parts that suffer the most. As is the case with the pads, which rub against each other and end up being affected by sweat. Bose offers pairs of replacement ear padsin the same color combinations as the headphones. They are easy to remove and replace with new ones; It is an operation that the user can do, even if he is not very crafty. Of course, you must make sure that the pads have been properly fitted. If they are not adjusted properly, they can affect the sound; distortion can occur, especially at low frequencies. On the SoundTrue Around-Ear model removing the ear pads is easy; just pull them. On the other hand, those of the SoundTrue On-Ear model are mounted on eight small tabs located on the edges and you have to be a little more careful and press on the mounting flange.

Another interesting accessory is the headphone cable , another piece that sometimes needs to be replaced. Obviously, it is not a standard cable, first because the connector at the end that goes to the right shell is 2.5 mm, but it must also be remembered that it has a remote with an embedded microphone. It is available in three colors: black, blue and mint green. Finally, there is the zippered carrying case , which is sold in the same color combinations that match the headphones. Finally, maintenance is hardly necessary. These headphones can be cleaned with a soft cloth. The important thing is that no moisture enters the interior of the shells.
