abunda_amazon_reviews This Bose Soundwear is exactly what I have been needing for a long time. I am constantly connected to music or audiobooks and have only had the option of earbuds or headphones which are perfect for air travel or laying in bed to not disturb the wife or speakers which are great for outside listening or around the house when I am by myself. Neither of these solutions have worked for me when working around the house and one of the kids wants to watch tv, so off goes the speaker and can't put on earbuds or headphones because I need to listen for the door or phone. This Soundwear is absolutely perfect for this. They are loud enough to hear perfectly with amazing sound and they can't be heard by anyone not too close to me and frees my ears for everything else that I need to be aware of. I will be wearing this daily at my desk at work and around the house. The call quality on this is just amazing as the sound. My daughter called me earlier and she made a comment on how great the call sounded and asked if I had a new phone. She couldn't believe that I was talking on a Bluetooth connected device. She sounded perfect as well. I have already recommended this to all of my friends and family that are just as into music and audiobooks as I am. I even recommended To my dentist today and he has already picked it up and called to thank me and let me know it has been his favorite audio purchase ever and I think that I have to agree with him and I have at least 10 quality headphones and earbuds and five quality Bluetooth speakers. I am thinking that a second one is now needed as my wife loves it as much as I do and I am not wanting to share with her. This has rarely left my neck since I bought it and I just keep loving it more. It really is the greatest product that you never knew existed and you will love this.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Perfect for my Needs!!! Best Bose Purchase Ever!;;CJ Matthews;;;I bought these so I could listen to podcasts during my 45-60 minute bike commute. They work great for biking! The only time I can't clearly hear my podcasts is when a motorcycle goes by. Other cyclists do notice the sound when we pass each other, or when I pull up behind them at a stoplight. But as far as I can tell it's not loud enough to actually bother anyone. Also, using Google maps on my phone to navigate while biking is so much better with these speakers. I can hear the nav clearly without blasting the volume on my phone. For the price I wanted to use them more often than just while biking, and it turns out they're great speakers all around. I now do not want to use the phone without them - they're way better than using the speakerphone, for both me and whomever I talking with. And even for listening to music at home, I prefer these to any other speakers I own. My sister is hard of hearing, so I bought these for her, and she LOVES them! She connected them to her TV, and now she can hear dialog and sound effects she hasn't heard for years, and she doesn't have to blast the volume on the TV. She also uses them for phone calls, both at home and in the car, and she loves that she can hear people clearly even while she's driving. Battery life is really impressive. After 2 hours listening to them on the bike, the battery is still at 80%. I never fear running out of charge. My only tiny little complaint is that the charging port is perpendicular to the zipper on the cover, so you have to unzip the cover further and stretch it out a bit to plug in the charger; it would've been better if the port were parallel to the zipper. But seriously, that is the only "complaint" I have about these speakers. I love them.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great for biking, phone calls, and more;;JBC;;;Device is of good quality and sound is great. Unfortunately, it completes the list of praises for this devise. The description of the Soundwave leads you to think that device would come "naked" and to protect dynamics from dirt you'd better buy cover in addition to it. In reality, device comes with black cover and you would be buying questionable pleasure of replacing it with exactly the same (as far as material and design go) cover of another color. More honesty in describing what exactly customer would be getting might save me money, but would build up the trust. Now about functionality. What exactly are you buying for couple hundred dollars? Person wearing this devise hears sound about 3 times louder than person sitting in the same car or at the same table near him. 3 times lower volume is still a volume easy to hear. It means that conversation or other listening experience is not private. If you need privacy or if you really want to listen to music without disturbing or distracting your partner, you should buy $10 - $50 earphones or headphones. Conclusion: Solidly build high quality very expensive toy for a week with no practical application.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2018;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;It is not necessary to buy additional cover;;Lenny Sh
