EDIT: After owning these headphones for just a few days over a year, read my updated review beneath the original! After reading reviews and seeing nothing but outstanding remarks for these headphones, I decided to drop the cash and give it a shot. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I'm definitely an audiophile; I produced EDM music for quite a while which trained me to care about proper balance in songs. These headphones have AMAZING balance! Most expensive headphones that I've tried on just have a crazy boosted bass and it gives me a headache. Not to mention, it just doesn't sound good haha! Anyway, these headphones have super crisp highs, good mids, and crunchy bass. They really are perfect. As for comfort, I could easily wear these things all day. Sometimes I forget I'm even wearing these headphones... They look pretty stylish and they aren't too big. The carrying case is pretty lowkey and it works fine, no problems there. Headphones charge fast and the battery lasts me about a week with daily usage. I enjoy the little voice that sounds whenever you switch devices or turn on the headphones. It's not obnoxious in the slightest. Bluetooth is always a little finicky but these headphones connect almost flawlessly. They automatically reconnect to your last device and that makes things go A LOT faster! Switching devices is pretty simple too. Using the included aux cord doesn't effect sound quality at all. Good for conserving battery life is you don't particularly need the wireless feature at the time of listening! Overall, I'm more than satisfied with my purchase. It was well worth the money and I would recommend these headphones to anyone AND everyone! If you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. EDIT: As mentioned above, I've owned these headphones for a little over a year now and I'm still impressed. Even after 1 entire year of extensive use (multiple road trips, a whole school year in the backpack, recording, listening, calling) these still work flawlessly and I've had ZERO major problems whatsoever. Long story short, I'm still sticking with the 5 star review. Below is a little more detail: Physical: No physical damage at all. I try to take care of my stuff, but accidents happen and these headphones have not sustained any scratches, dents, or cracked despite my heavy usage. The foam-ish headband piece still holds its shape. The earphones are still fluffy and squishy (no tears or deformities). At some point in my 1 year of ownership, the little piece of fabric that has the "L" on it (inside the left ear cup; it covers the electronics and such) started slipping out, but I was able to finagle it back in and there's been no problem since. I use the case basically whenever I transport these headphones and that's probably the main reason they've maintained physical integrity. Highly recommend using that case. It's small, sleek, and effective. Sound: I haven't owned any other headphones since these so I can't compare the sound of other headphones to these, however, I'm about to purchase a Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro which is known for it's studio quality, neutral sound. I'll compare the sound when I purchase them. I have noticed problems occasionally when connected to multiple devices. If the headphones are connected to my iPhone and my MacBook I sometimes have a little lag when watching YouTube. But as mentioned by another reviewer, turning on and off the headphones solves this. I don't get too many phone calls, but the several calls I've had while wearing these headphones were crystal clear and easy to understand (on both ends, I asked). I've had several VERY minor issues with the Bluetooth connectivity overall, but Bose regularly puts out firmware updates for their hardware and they've solved many of these issues. I'd say check about once a month for updates on their update site: http://btu.bose.com/ The only negative: since these are over-the-ear headphones, they have some natural sound cancelling properties, but after I tried out some Bose Active Noise Cancelling Headphones at Target, I can't even BEGIN to explain how amazing the active noise cancelling was. With the Bose SoundLink headphones, the natural noise cancelling is good. It blocks out a majority of background noise and outsiders cannot hear my music at all (unless it's turned up very high... don't do that!). But with the active noise cancelling headphones, it's almost magical. You put those headphones on and it's just dead silent. These headphones are perfect as they are, but if you can afford it, go for a pair of Bose headphones with active noise cancelling. Just my suggestion. Tip: If you use these headphones for mixing (which I'll update the sound comparison part of this review when I get my new DT770 Pro's), make sure to use the custom aux cable provided. This ensures there's no Bluetooth interference and you get the clearest sound quality. These aren't studio headphones, but if you want headphones to use in combination with studio monitors (as a reference listening device) or if you need a good pair of monitor headphones that can double as comfort/listening headphones, these work great.

If you're looking for pleasant-sounding, comfy, light wireless headphones with sensical playback and volume buttons, seriously consider Bose's Soundlink II around-ear headphones. Passive noise-cancellation on these things is fantastic. I haven't walked down a noisy street yet, but when I press play on any song at moderate volume, my environment (usually a busy home or talkative workplace) fades away. The volume gets loud enough when listening on Bluetooth, and although I've never personally wanted to go past it's max output, I'm sure there are some headbangers out there who would want a little more volume out of these things. Sound performance is gonna depend on your personal preference, but I like the balanced, detailed, open-air feeling of my music on these cans. Highs and mids come through clear to my ears, and in my opinion, these things excel with vocals. The bass is probably the most polarizing aspect of the sound signature: it's full and present, but you don't "feel it" the same way other headphones *cough* Beats *cough* deliver. The trade-off here is that it doesn't overpower anything, so vocals don't get washed out when the bass drops. On some tracks I wish the bass were a bit more powerful, but I still think they're on par with other wired headphones priced around $200 (and if you really miss the detail of wired sound, there's an included 3.5 mm cable). I listen mostly to alternative which employs a wide array of instruments, and I think these deliver consistently clear, strong sound across the genre. In terms of battery life, I've only charged them once in the 3 weeks I've had them, so I'm led to believe the advertised 15 hours of listening at moderate volume. The headphones themselves were smaller than I was expecting when I opened the box. They're unexpectedly light, but still feel sturdy, and it can be easy to forget they're on when you're "in the zone." In fact, that's one of the best features: these things are comfy, and they don't heat up my ears like how other leather ear cups do. The black version I have is low profile because it's all a matte finish instead of gloss, meaning people on the street won't point and yell at you, "Hey everyone, they have Bose headphones!" In other words, if you're a show-off, look elsewhere. Some people might not like the button design, but after a week, it feels more or less natural to navigate. Three small buttons, one of them depressed for feel-only operation, on the back of the right earcup control volume and playback (pause, skip, rewind, Siri) the same way Apple earphones do, and the microphones on here are entirely capable of handling phone calls. Bluetooth performance is pretty excellent, and even though it's not perfect (it'll skip when I leave the audio source and go behind a wall 20 feet away), it works well for my listening purposes. Pairing to my phone and computer was easy as could be, and everytime I turn the headphones on, my device identifies and connects within 5 seconds. Easy peasy lemon-squeezy. Lastly, the overall value: I paid $230 for the headphones on sale, and even for a college student looking to "treat myself," it's a pretty hefty investment. I can't say yet if I've gotten my money's worth, but these headphones are definitely on track to prove themselves worthy. From the reviews I've read of other Bose products, I'm expecting quite a few more years of solid performance from these cans, and right now, they seem entirely up to that task.

i bought these thinking they had a noise cancelling feature, but they don't. oops, that's my bad. they dampen but don't cancel. but for me, this actually worked out fine! i wanted them for a red-eye because i realized that the noise is what makes it so hard for me to sleep. these block out just enough sound to make the general sounds of a plan a low hum. they made me realize how loud planes really are, actually. i wasn't surprised that i couldn't sleep anyway, but these still made a huge difference. the comfort level of these headphones is very high. i really like the soft top and the soft cups--they fit well over my ears and they don't dig into my head. the sound quality on these is also really great! i've been using airpods for years now, which sound fine! but these are soooo much better. sound is clear and crisp and the bass is just right--not too heavy or light. compared to airpods, it's to be expected that the bluetooth connectivity isn't as stellar with an iPhone. if it has other past connections nearby, it'll try connecting to them. my girlfriend borrowed them once and then i couldn't get it to find my device without her removing them on her own device. a small hiccup, but it can be annoying. these are in the mid-price range and i think they're a good value for the quality. im happy that they come in a small case to protect them and come with a cord to connect to a device the old fashioned way. i use it rarely, but i do use it! overall, these were a good buy and a reasonable and stylish alternative to the popular sony headphones.

TWO YEAR REVIEW I bought these a year and eleven months ago. The sound is still great. But the padding is deteriorating on the top pad and on the ear pads. I baby these EXPENSIVE Headphones and they literally never leave my desk in an air-conditioned office. It's now at the point where it will show up on camera in daily video meetings. There are settings issues with Windows you'll need to search about. e.g. Windows Settings > Sound > Manage Sound Devices > Output Devices You must choose between: Headphones Bose AE2 SoundLink Stereo or Headset Bose AE2 SoundLink Hands-Free AG Audio Choose the wrong one and things don't work. For the best sound and a reliable connection I use the cable because wireless is much lower quality and even reliability (connection). So, I don't know If there's such a thing as a wireless headset which has great sound and connectivity -- that the average person can afford to buy. That brings us to the proprietary sound cable. One end has the common 1/8" PC stereo male end and the other end has a smaller, proprietary Bose male end. You can only use this cable. That's why I stopped buying Sony products a long time ago--proprietary connections are wrong, wrong, wrong. ORIGINAL REVIEW I tried other over-the-ear headsets and even with my normal, medium-small ears they just pressed the ears and didn't fit over them. This Bose headset comfortably fits over my ears and there's room inside. They're very lightweight and happily UNDER stated, both physically not huge and design-wise not "LOOK AT ME," like every headset seems to be today. The sound is good for bluetooth--much better when plugged in with the TINY, LITTLE, EXTREMELY SHORT audio cable. Note: The audio cable is short. Also, the short audio cable has a normal speaker + mike sized fitting where you plug it into your computer, but the other end that plugs into the headset is TINY. It's a mini version and not easy to find this with a LONGER (read: more useful) cable. The connections are easy once you learn the ins and outs. I have this paired with my PC, Chromebook, Samsung phone, and Lenovo work laptop. It pairs easily and connects easily--so long as only two devices have Bluetooth on at the same time. If I have all four devices' Bluetooth active it doesn't always connect. But with just two devices it works great. I LOVE how it plainly tells you things in simple, clear sentences without any code-speak, or beeps instead of language. When you turn them on it tells you the battery level and which devices are connected. I like video games and this is great with the cord--junk with Bluetooth only. There are workarounds to use bluetooth with games (that I found online), and they work but the sound is horrible low-quality. If you like games these are great so long as you plug in the tiny, short, not long, little audio cable. I've run into about three different types of connection issues with PC and online solutions are available. They worked. Don't dispair if you run into these issues. These headphones are very light and comfortable, especially compared to some others I've used. The battery seems to last a long time. I was disappointed that these only claim 15 hour's time compared to some that are more than double that. But I charge this over-night, and use it all day, then sometimes listen to music while cooking and watch movie with them and they go and go. I'd buy these again, or for a gift.

Best headphones I’ve ever had. I’ve had them for just over 7 years. They got me through remote work during covid with two kids e-learning at home & I’ve been using them daily ever since. They’ve traveled everywhere with me. Been tossed about, shoved in bags, & schlepped all over. Life has not been gentle for these headphones, nevertheless they’ve endured. Above mentioned kids are now in college & the headphones have kept going strong. Today the padding on one of the earphones fell off. I stuck it back on best I could & the sound is still just as good as when I bought them in 2019. I got on here to look for a new pair, since the ear pads are looking rough, & just couldn’t not give them a review. I mean, they’re basically family now. Probably one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. When I first purchased them, I thought I was being a bit reckless spending as much as I did, but I’ve emerged a Bose customer for life.

These have been used extremely hard - running, biking, and hiking through rain and snow. I’ve sweated buckets in these. The ear pads needed replaced once last year. Cost $15, a small price to pay to continue their life and simple to do. Their durability is so impressive. I never expected them to live through it. I can’t say the sound quality is the greatest ever as I prefer my open back Sennheisers, but those are bulky, wired and much less portable. With these, the sound is very balanced and satisfying, not too bass forward like their competition. I’ve never felt the need for noise cancellation. The around-ear isolation is enough for public spaces and saves a little money. The combination of sound quality, wireless portability, and durability that these offer is far above the competition. Bluetooth connectivity is mostly flawless. Sometimes they stubbornly keep trying to connect to my MacBook though it is closed and I have to open it and turn Bluetooth off. What’s nice, though, is they can connect to 2 devices at once and switch between whichever one I’m playing audio on. Mic quality is also surprisingly good, better than other Bluetooth devices I’ve tried and is suitable for gaming. Companies tend to cheap out when it comes to that but not Bose. I’d instantly buy these again if they ever give out. It’s really hard to find stuff that’s made this well.

These headphones allow you to connect to more than one device at a time and switch back for forth between them. To my ear, these produce very a clean sound with plenty of bass (for me, anyway) and a bit of crispness that pleases me. Clearly we do not all have the same taste in music and I am not a hip hop fan. I listen to jazz, classical, Motown, Blues and some classic rock. To my taste, these are the best sounding Bluetooth headphones I've ever experienced. There are many complaints about the material holding up over time and I cannot speak to that... yet. Right out of the box and on my head... awesome. Also, I have used them for phone calls and the noise cancelation is really good. I called my wife from my office with jazz music playing in the background, a fan about 18 inches away and an air conditioner running and she was not conscious of any background sound until I asked her. She could barely discern a background hum which, by process of elimination, was determined to be the A/C unit. Fan made no impact at all and music seemed to fade in and out and was completely not an issue. My voice was clear with all three background sounds in my environment and the sounds were very faint and not distracting or even noticed until asked. With a 15-hour charge, this will see me through even very long flights and there is a wire which works beautifully when the battery does go out. Delivers equal quality sound, to my ear. Okay, the case is very nice too. I got the white model and paid $159.00. I feel this is a value for the sound and quality.

I had a pair of Skullcandy Hesh-2 Bluetooth headphones prior to buying the Bose. The Hest-2 were a $100 pair of headphones and were definitely worth the price, though the battery only lasted a year. The sound fidelity between the Bose and Hesh-2 is night and day. The Hesh-2 were boomy and pushed the mids a bit too much. The Bose have an excellent sound curve with tight and low bass, flat mids, and crisp highs. The sound replication is very accurate and these will reveal the quality in music that you've been missing. You'll want to crack out your EQ (whether on your phone or home stereo) as you'll find you can push a lot of different frequencies through these. When it comes to home theater and movies, you'll need to switch from surround sound to 2-ch stereo...if you don't, you'll get a bit of a distant, tin-can-spacey-feel to the surround sound. Switching to 2-channel stereo gets you close to where you want to be with an excellent representation of the soundstage. In the beginning of Star Trek Beyond, when the Enterprise is being attacked by Krall swarm, you'll hear the attacks sweep across from the rear-left to the right, giving you a good impression of a larger soundstage. Sadly, the mids and vocals in today's movies requires separate channels and you'll lose a bit here with the Bose. Thus, while they're good for movies and surround sound, they're not great unless you tweak the equalizer to push these a bit. Bluetooth Latency: as with almost all Bluetooth headphones, there is a bit of signal lag based on the distance you sit from the TV and the amount of time it takes to process that sound through the various CODECS between the devices. The Bose are no different and the only way I've ever found to bypass that is to tweak the speaker delay on the receiver or just use the analog cable. My experience of sitting 8' away from the television using an MPOW bluetooth transmitter plugged into my receiver's headphone output to the Bose Headphones incurs a delay of about 22ms; just enough to be noticeable after a minute or two. YMMV. Pairing was a snap as the headphones have voice prompts to tell you what Bluetooth profile they're connected to. This is fantastic feature when switching from your mobile phone to your desktop, or from your laptop and to your home stereo, etc. Just flip the head phones to the middle "on" position, then push the slider up to cycle through the different bluetooth connections until you hear the one you want. Less fiddling in the dark and messing with the profiles on your phone or other devices to get them to connect to the right source. Brilliant! There is a nice carrying case and a very short analog cable to use without bluetooth or for regular stereo/headphone connections.
