Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Bose TriPort In-Ear Headphones - Headphones ( ear-bud ) - blackCustomer Review: Best sound ever! Summary: 5 Stars
First I should say that I have just purchased these headphones so I don't have any idea of how long they are going to last, or what kind of reliability, endurance comfort or stuff like that they are going to offer. I CAN say however that I have tried all manner of in-ear headphones and the SOUND of these just blows ALL the others away. When I tried the Bose I just stood in the store with a stupid grin on my face and my mouth open in disbelief that such a sound could come from them. In-ear headphones do NOT have the best reputation, probably deservedly, but these sound incredible, the bass especially, which always is the first to suffer in this mini tonal spectrum. My wife has another very reputable brand but she also could not believe how good the Bose sounded.
I just hope that these survive the 'usual' treatment as I really can't imagine using any other, INCLUDING the Bang&&Olufson ones, glamorously reviewed and priced way above the Bose. The white ones supplied with the iPods always seemed to get slammed by many users, unfairly I felt, but the Bose makes them sound like a tinny radio!
I like the laniard that Bose supply with the headphones as well. It helps ensure that the weight of the cord doesn't pull the buds out of your ears. There is a clip to fasten the cord to your shirt or coat or whatever. It's strong and does a good job of supporting the wire. I thought the design of the Bose was pretty good really. They are comfortable and fit well (you are offered three different sized pairs of gel buds which attach nicely and easily to the actual earpieces). You won't want to parachute wearing them or go hand-gliding or anything, but I would imagine under normal use they would remain in your ears pretty well. I love cycling and this is one of my tests. Compared with others I have had though these seem very stable and still sound good whilst riding along (wind noise doesn't affect them too much). I don't know how people have lost ear bud gels or broken the wire as they claim in their reviews. Maybe they skateboard wearing them!
I loved the built in microphone too. It records in good quality for voice memos and also features a pause, next song, previous song function. Very useful if you have an iPod touch like me and want to use Skype for phone messages. The headphones also come with different size jack plugs to enable use with different size phone jack sockets. A neat feature I thought.
I think the only criticism I can level at these headphones is they have a high impedence which means they take a lot of volume output to sound good compared to some. The plus side of this is that you are less likely to damage your hearing, but some songs are quieter than others so you have to pump up the volume a bit. More sensitivity would have been appreciated. Still, I think they would be loud enough for 'normal' use - not in loud backgrounds though! They are NOT noise cancelling so don't expect this. They wouldn't sound too good on an aircraft for example. Overall I would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants great sound at a safe listening level.
I hope to be using them for a long time to come.
