Q: Will these headphones work with Skype an an android cell phone?

A: These headphones work very well with Skype on an android cell phone. The quality of the sound produced by the in-line microphone is very good for both Skype and for regular calls. The quality of the sound you hear over the headphones with Skype (and regular calls) is also very good. The only drawback (and it is to be expected) is that the sound of your own voice is somewhat muffled by the action of the over-ear earphones.

Q: Do they work with motog4? Are they good passive ones?

A: Great question! You will definitely get audio and be able to place calls and use the controls with a motog4. Thanks!

Q: are these noise cancelling? or just expensive regular head phones?

A: For similar Bose headphones with noise cancellation technology, we would recommend the QC25 model. Here is a link to check them out: http://bit.ly/2diCJHi

Q: I actually purchased the IOS version in error but it does work with my Samsung phone. Am I getting the full power of the headset's sound? It seems low so I thought that it might be due to it being designed for IOS vs Android. Would this be better?

A: Thank you for asking. The specification regarding Android vs. Apple has to do with the volume controls and the microphone for making calls. The sound performance will work the same way with any device that has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

Q: Do these make a noticeable buzzing/hissing sound when plugged in but no audio playing yet? I had the beats studio over the ear headphones and the hissing sound of the noise canceling motor was so loud that I could hear it through the music and audio.

A: This is not typical performance for these headphones and we appreciate you reaching out for help. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073 and one of our product support specialists will help work on a solution for you. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.

Q: how long is the cord?

A: The included audio cable is 5.5 feet.

Q: will these work with any TV and does it plug in to Direct TV Box or directly in your TV?

A: Thank you for reaching out to help with this. If the TV has a standard headphone jack, this will be plug and play. If it doesn't, we'll want to learn more about the connections on your TV to find the right solution for you. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.

Q: Is it compatible with the iphone?

A: Here is the version that is compatible for making calls on an iPhone: http://bit.ly/1P4JQN1

Great Clean Sound
These headphones are very clear and responsive. The sound is very balanced and each part seems distinct. The bass is by no means over powering but this allows for long listening sessions as they do not fatigue your ears. The headphones themselves are very lightweight and the cups have a nice cushion to them. Sound leakage seems minimal but is noticeable in a quite room when the music is at higher volumes. Definitely recommend to someone who wants to be able to hear each part of the music and not a muddy mess of bass.

Near perfect
These headphones are much more comfortable than my previous set which were the on ear type. The previous ones were uncomfortable after an hour or two. These are just right for me. And of course they have great sound since they are Bose. Only improvement would be Bluetooth at this price. Best Buy even matched a sale price, score!

Great sound and comfort
These headphones are the most comfortable headphones I have ever had - and I have had 6 different headphones in the past 6 years. I can wear them for over 5 hours and feel absolutely no discomfort. The quality of the sound is excellent. I find they work better than any headset I have tried for long Skype calls on my cell phone. The quality of these calls is very good both on my end and on the other party's end. The cord is just the right length for me, and the inline microphone is well placed next to my mouth. I strongly recommend them for both listening to music and making calls.
