An incredible song that speaks about Long Distance Relationship.

Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You're on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sendin' all my love Along the wire They say that the road Ain't no place to start a family Right down the line It's been you and me And lovin' a music man Ain't all it's supposed to be Oh girl you stand by me I'm forever yours, faithfully Circus life Under the big top world We all need the clowns To make us smile Through space and time Always another show Wondering where I am Lost without you And being apart ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy Of rediscovering you Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours, faithfully Oh, oh, oh, oh Faithfully, I'm still yours I'm forever yours Ever yours, faithfully

Let’s say you’re one of the THOUSANDS of people out there who read my review of the Skullcandy Grind (okay maybe it had a few less views than that ;)) and you thought to yourself: “Self! Those seem like they might be pretty nice headphones, but they’re also in the budget/low-end range. I want something that’s smart in similar ways, but even better and more expensive!”

Well first, I’d say that’s a strange thing for you to have thought to yourself after reading that review. Secondly, boy, have I got a pair of products for you!

Bose has an interesting reputation in the sound community. People either love them or hate them. The reasons for this are myriad. It would take years to explain all of them. The bottom line is that Bose tunes their products to have a very specific sound signature, and you’re either going to love or hate how it sounds. Sound quality is often subjective, after all.

My first pair of Bose headphones was the classic Tri-port over ear model. They were great. They had a big sound, and they were comfortable on my head. From then on, I’ve been a fan of Bose products for their combination of comfort and sound quality. Of all the headphones I’ve tried recently in my weird portable headphone vision quest, the best combination of sound, comfort, and price is...well the Skullcandy Grind. 

But there is another.

The Bose Soundtrue On-Ear headphone is an update of their venerable on-ear tri port model that has been around for a while. It has a tiny, collapse-able design that allows them to fit in a tiny included case. Unlike certain headphones known as the Beats Solo 2, they are stupidly comfortable. Like, ridiculously comfortable. Every other headphone manufacturer should be studying Bose’s headphones for comfort, the on-ear models in particular. The ear cups are like tiny incredibly soft and comfortable pillows, and the light weight means they feel like magical sound-emitting air that sits on your head. Or something.

Their tiny size means that finding a perfect fit can be a little finnicky, but take the time to lock them in and you’ll never go back. They have a detachable cable which is proprietary on one end, but if you lose it you can order another one for cheap from Bose. The sound is brilliant on the Soundtrue’s, with Bose’s claim that they’ll make all your music sound better being 100 percent true.

Look. I know the cool “Audiophile” (bleh) thing to do is search for headphones that have flat, “uncolored” sound. But honestly, I think this kind of sound is boring, for lack of a better word, and I’m a former film student and I work in radio. Flat response headphones belong in studios and field recording kits, when it’s important to get a clean, accurate idea of what you’re recording, and whether its true to the source. But that’s not the typical home or portable usage scenario. As a consumer of audio, I want the audio to sound good. And yeah, this is where I could make a point about listening to things “as the artist/editor/mixer intended,” but if you’re mixing something and only listening to it on flat studio gear and not on typical home headphones, you’re doing it wrong.

So no, the Bose Soundtrue On-Ear don’t have the most “Accurate” sound, but they are EQ’ed to sound phenomenal, and they’re tiny and portable and comfy. They started out at 180 bucks, but now they’re down to 150 and you can probably find them cheaper than that as they go on sale all the time. They come in a few different colors.

What’s that you say? You want to kick it up one more notch? Why then, you need the Bose Soundlink on-ears! They are slightly bigger than the Soundtrue and have a more robust headband! They still fold down super tiny into a case! They have all the same great features of the Soundtrue, plus Bluetooth connectivity, complete with a voice chip that tells you what you’re connected to and who is calling on your phone! And also a thing called Active EQ, which ensures you get that Bose sound signature no matter what kind of audio you’re listening to. The EQ circuitry only kicks on when you listen over Bluetooth, which lasts for about 15 hours between battery charges. They charge via USB. There’s also a cable included you can plug in for wired non-battery use, and then you’ve more or less got the Soundtrue on-ears. These are a phenomenal headphone. The only thing “missing” is active noise cancellation, but the passive isolation is good enough you won’t miss it!

So there you have it: if you’re looking for a great portable headphone, get the Grind if you’re on more of a budget, or one of the Bose models if you’re not. Headphone quest over! Thank God!

What’s that? My ranty article about the Beats Solo 2 made you want more reviews of bad headphones? But I already told you what the best ones were! What more do you want from me????
