Bose SoundLink Around Ear Wireless Headphones II - Black

Something I hadn't read (or noticed) when narrowing down my options, is that this pair of headphones can listen to 2 sources simultaneously. So while I'm listening to my computer for work, it's still connected to my phone, and I can hear when someone is calling, and can even take the call while still listening to my computer. This is something I didn't know was possible, and is 100% what I needed. I'm SO happy with this purchase. Aside from that feature, which may not apply to anyone else, these are the MOST comfortable headphones I have ever purchased. I have a pair of wired Bose at home, that have lasted for several years. They are super comfortable as well, but these really take the cake. Somewhere in their product description, they say you never want to take them off, and it's true. I'm also very impressed by the battery life. I leave them charging on Friday night, so Monday morning, they are at 100% (she tells you every time you turn them on what the percentage of battery life is!), and by Friday afternoon, they're usually around 30-40%, and I wear them 10 hours a day! They also get the best reception of any wireless headphones I've ever used. I can walk around my building and still hear my computer, and they don't cut out like my old Bluetooth ones did. I also have only had very slight sound delay. But then I turned them off and back on, and the delay was gone. But it wasn't even a full second of sound delay- just a fraction of a second, so it might not be noticeable to anyone just listening to music without using visuals. I don't know what else to say about these headphones. They are perfect. I'm so very glad I splurged. I know they are THE ONES and will last me a very long time. Bose knows, man. Bose knows.

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.

Please Read My in depth review of the Bose Around Ear wireless Headphone (White Colour): I did not purchase the product from amazon but directly from Bose Store in Delhi. The product was initially not in stock but a single unit was kept unsold in one of the other bose store in Delhi itself. Therefore, I received the product with delay and the waiting was worth. The product was a seal pack and I personally went and got it myself. Now here I write in depth review of the BOSE around ear wireless headphones: PROS: 1. Comfort: Super Comfy, Adjustable length, very light weight, can be worn for long hours and extended sessions. This will never cause fatigue on your ears or make your head uncomfortable. The headphones wont come off your ears even during workouts in gym, jogging, running and brisk walking. They stay perfect on your ears all the time. 100/100 for comfort. 2. Presentation and accessories: The BOSE headphones are neatly packed in a single box and comes with headphones, carry case, 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm AUX cable. The AUX cable is used when you die out of battery and still headphones work without battery. The carry case is very classy and is made up of durable material that wont wear out after years of use. 3. Battery: The battery on the wireless headphones is awesome. On a single charge, the battery will last upto 15 hrs and in my actual test it died early since I use the headphones heavily on full volume in the gym. That's not an issue but, it gives 2 hours of playback time just by charging it 15 minutes, very nice feature. 100/100 in battery 4. Sound Quality: The headphones are perfect for all kind of music that you listen be hindi or english. Be it a EDM, hip-hop etc, the headphones work perfectly fine with any kind of music genre. The bass on the headphones are just perfect and not over powered like beats headphones. The base levels are easily adjustable with equalizer settings on your device. On 100% volumes, the sound is that much that you wont be able hear the outside world and will be completely in your own world. Even the heavy music played in the gym, I was not able to hear even a bit of it, just was able to listen what was being played on headphones. The sound quality is really really awesome. 100/100 in sound section. CONS: 1. It does not have active noise cancellation, but has passive noise cancellation which works perfect. 2. Little over-priced, but if it is solving your purpose, investing in it is a huge plus and you won't regret buying the product.

se conoscete il suono bose vi dico compratele, già sapete di cosa si parla. Per chi non lo conosce, cercherò di descrivere queste cuffie. Parto dicendo che avevo acquistato delle jbl live 650 btnc che ho restituito perchè difettse sostituendole con queste soundlink, perchè? Le JBL suonano bene ma non sono comodissime, dopo due ore avevo le orecchie in fiamme. Siccome appena ho richiesto il reso delle JBL ho comprato queste bose, mi sono arrivate prima che il corriere venisse a ritirare le JBL, ho avuto cosi la posssibilità di fare un confronto diretto fra le due cuffie. Partendo dalla costruzione: per me è ottima per entrambe, pur essendo in plastica danno una bella idea di solidità, ma la cosa che si nota subito è che le bose sono decisamente più leggere, e una volta indossate, qui non c'è paragone, le bose risultano da subito più comode e lo si nota ancora di più se ne si fa un uso prolungato. Per quanto rigurada l'insonorizzazione ovviamente vincono le JBL avento l'ANC che tuttavia taglia sicuramente i rumori bassi ma con le voci risulta quasi inefficiente. Una cosa che mi ha un po deluso in entrambe è che alzando il volume oltre un certo livello da fuori si sente TUTTO, si riesce proprio a riconoscere la canzone per farvi capire, da cuffie circumaurali mi sarei aspettato quantomeno di più. Ma passiamo ora alla cosa più importante, ovvero il suono di queste cuffie. Per testarle ho collegato simultaneamente le JBL al mio S10 e le bose al pc, entrambi fonti con un ottima resa audio, prima tramite spotify connect e poi da youtube ho ascoltato le stesse canzoni con le due cuffie e le mie modeste conclusioni non essendo un esperto ma solo un appassionato sono queste: il suono per me è ottimo in entrambe ma ci sono delle differenze a favore delle bose, il suono di queste ultime infatti ad un primo impatto può sembrare più piatto e carente di bassi ma ci si accorge presto che il dettaglio è incredibile e si scoprono strumenti mai sentiti all'interno delle canzoni, e i bassi sono rilasciati (anche decisi) solo dove veramente richiesti mentre nelle jbl sono sempre leggermente predominanti. Qui capisco che influiscono anche i gusti personali ma per un ascolto di ogni genere musicale secondo me le bose sono migliori. Provando la musica da 8Dtune mi sono reso conto che anche il soundstage ovvero il suono multidirezionale pur essendo ottimo in entrambe le cuffie è leggermente superiore nelle bose che riescono a rendere meglio la distanza da cui proviene il suono non facendo apparire tutto vicino a noi. Concludendo il suono secondo me è comunque paragonabile e ottimo in entrambe, a meno che non siate degli audiofili difficilmente noterete grandi differenze. Mi rendo conto che queste due cuffie non sono però uguali, se cercate infatti una grande qualità sonora, comfort e non vi interessa più di tanto l'insonorizzazione (come a me) vi consiglio le bose, se invece cercate delle cuffie teconologicamente più avanzate e complete con cancellazione attiva del rumore e assistente vocale senza rinunciare alla qualità audio allora vi consiglio le jbl, ma se volete l'eccellenza per quanto riguarda comfort e cancellazione del rumore dovrete spendere sicuramente di più optando per le bose QC-35 o per le sony.

I liked the texture, sound and smell.. however they are not noise cancelling and overheat so you are only able to use for a while before you have to put them down

These are made of High quality ,durable materials that combine to make them extremely comfortable to wear for as long as you need too and beyond. The cups are shaped to fit over you're ears , so i was surprised at how small they were. They fit really snugly around my pretty large flappers , to give good Noise reduction. As they do not have electronic ANC. Don't worry this wasn't an issue when i was travelling on the bus or walking down a busy high street. They are also really light to wear, and they don't squeeze you're head or give you a stiff jaw. The sound quality is really a step up from what i'm used to, (£50 models to be found all over Amazon) The best way to describe it is like watching HD TV when compared to standard definition, the quality of the sound makes you're favourite music or video's sound just like they are supposed to, as this high res. sound is quite neutral. This does mean those who love a ton of bass on everything, will have to use an equaliser yo boost it. But trust me when i say, it brings a whole new level to you're content. Connection is dead easy, the Bluetooth /power switch places the phones into pairing mode and then you just select from you're phone's Bluetooth menu, and that's it, you can even use NFC to connect them to you're phone, by tapping your phone against the right ear cup (its still connects via Bluetooth) or you can use the Bose Connect app from the 'Play store'. These Headphones have been out for a while and the original price was about £250 so you're getting £100 off. If you want some good Headphones but don't want to spend silly money m then you cant go wrong with these. I can highly recommend them for those who want to really make the most of their Music and other content.
