Bose - Bluetooth® Headset Series 2 (Left Ear) - Black

First off I would like to say that I love technology! And having wearable tech that keeps my hands free is an extra bonus. I have had many bluetooth headset's in the past (my most recent was a Jawbone) and I always had the issue with the devise not staying in place and falling out of my ear after 15-20 minutes of use. I would constantly need to keep reaching up and repositioning the devise to make sure it stayed put. I might as well have just held the phone to my head. With the Bose Bluetooth I don't have the problem. With the special rubber piece that goes into your ear canal and the "hook" that attaches to the upper-inside of your ear, it stays in place no matter what I do, from cracking my neck to looking in one direction or another quickly (like changing lanes), etc. It just won't fall out! And using the devise is a pleasure! With the easy to find buttons on top to answer/hang up calls and adjust the volume it's like I don't even need to touch the phone itself (in fact, with the added advantage of pressing the "call" button to access Siri (on the iPhone), I don't need to touch the phone to make a call! Overall, it's an excellent product and well worth the price! Bose does it again!

the sound is the only reason i bought this. But it does not have modern features like other. It has basic things. I hate short battery life.

I saw this at Best Buy and debated whether or not it was worth paying $150. After looking at several others at comparable prices, I decided to give it a shot. After all, it HAD to be better than the other bluetooth headsets that I've had, right? I was so right. The first thing that stood out to me about the product is that it only worked on the right ear. That was bothersome, but it makes perfect sense for the design. A rubber piece fits into your ear, and it funnels sound from the earpiece to your eardrum, which makes the audio very direct, clear, and easy on the ears. Next, I paired it with my Sony Xperia Z (T-Mobile branded, C6606). Admittedly, I had to hold a button for my phone to find it the first time, but I'm used to that already from other devices. The pairing process worked similarly for other devices I used with it as well, which include my Dell XPS laptop, Playstation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Sony Tablet S. I have read reviews where other people had trouble with using certain Samsung and Apple phones, but I've luckily not run into any of those troubles with my devices. I tried to call someone as soon as I paired it with my phone for the first time, but I couldn't reach anyone to test it. However, a familiar tone sounded in my ear a few moments later. It was my phone's text message tone. I didn't realize that the earpiece had A2DP support, but that was a VERY welcome surprise. I then decided to watch some videos on YouTube and played some music. The sound quality from this alone made it worth the money I paid. Once I finally got around to talking to someone on the phone, I was very impressed. I was driving with the windows down and music on in the car, and the person on the phone with me had no idea. I don't have a huge system in my car that can shake a neighborhood, but the music was at a comfortable volume to where the other person should have heard it. I asked if my voice was clear, and they replied positively. I could also hear the other person very clearly as well. The included pouch, ear tips, and charger were a welcome bonus for me, and the only real problem that I've had is with the battery. If you have it at full volume, then it will only last for like 3.5 hours. At a medium volume, you can expect it to work for at least another hour or two past that before it needs to be charged. In short: excellent quality audio for only one ear, but not for someone who wants to listen to music at work for an 8-hour shift. This product suits my needs well, and I'm considering buying one for my left ear as backup.

Finally , found an ear piece that really works well and Bose spent their money on making a Great product not Advertising how Great it is and then doesn't perform. I literally own 11 blue Toothearpiecesand this Bose as the Most expensive, but worth Every dime if you want a Product that delivers real Sound with Quality and clarity! I am hard of hearing a little and I have bought the top of the Line of Every Company selling Ear Pieces and the Bose blowsThe rest of them away! I have bought All the Phone Companies ( every one of them and would have changed cell phones or cell phone Companiesif They delivered as Promised, THEY DONT, None of them Do! I have bought the Military approved, The wind reducers, The background noise eliminated , All of it Advertising money instead of Product Quality. Recently, I lost my Bose and could have used any of the other 11 I have bought and tried, Instead, I went right back to Best Buy and bought another Bose Blue Tooth earpiece. If you want to really hear, Don't waste your Money on the Top Rated Or most bought or Voted top Earpiece. Buy The Bose, You get what you pay for and hearing is to important not to spend a few Extra bucks for something that REALLY WORKS!!

I had two primary concerns while shopping for a bluetooth earpiece. 1st: Comfort, anyone who has bough a cheaper bluetooth knows all to well how sore your ear can get after just an hour or two of wearing it. 2nd: Noise cancelling on the microphone. I work in Broadband Head Ends (basically server farms) and the background noise if very loud, often times people not being able to hear my voice over it. I was a little skeptical when buying this headset, simply because of the price. After many failed attempts with different headsets, I figured I would try investing the money and seeing if this was worth it. I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort of this earpiece. I can wear it for 8-10 hours during work with no pain in my ear. Sometimes I actually forget it's there and will go to scratch my ear and knock it out. lol As I mentioned, when I am inside of a head end it is very noisy. I've been on the other side of a call inside one of these buildings and know how hard it can be to hear the person on the phone over all that background noise. This headset excels at working 100% in these conditions. I have people telling me they can hear no difference between when I am inside the head end, or outside.. which is incredible! The only problem this creates, is everyone now calls me instead of other head end techs because I'm the only they can hear while working inside of the facility. LOL The other cool thing is I can connect this with my work phone and personal phone at the same time. I stream music from my iphone until a work call comes in, and then seamlessly answer the call. This was money well spent for a quality bluetooth. Bose has impressed me with this item and I would recommend this 10x over.

After many of years of wasted money on some of the "best" bluetooths on the market, I FINALLY have one that actually works...and works FLAWLESSLY! I have tried all major brands in all price ranges and had all but given up. In fact, I haven't used a BT at all in over 2 years. Purely by accident, when shopping for something else, I found myself looking to see what was new in BT. I was almost set on the Jawbone with military technology (whatever), when the sales associate recommended the Bose. I was left thinking, "Sure she recommended the most expensive BT the store carries." With assurance regarding the return policy of 30 days, I decided to give BT one more chance. I am so glad I did! This Bose unit is simply AMAZING. For the first time, I can HEAR the party on the other end...and they can HEAR me. The sound is CRYSTAL CLEAR! I have not messed with the controls on the actual headset (volume, commands, etc.) because they matter little to me. What was most important to me was the sound...and the Bose DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! This is the best wad of cash I have shelled out for anything in a very long time. Kudos to Bose for FINALLY giving the consumer a BT headset that ACTUALLY WORKS!!!

I use my Bose Series 2 Bluteooth with my new Galaxy Note II. What I like about my Bose Series 2 is that 1. Very easy to Pair 2. Light weight 3. Excellent sound on both ends in any environment 5. Long battery life between charges 6. Well Constructed. I have owned my Bose Series 2 Blutetooth for 7 months now and I have nothing bad to say except you get what you pay for. My earpiece lives up to the "Bose" reputation.

First off, I'm using this bluetooth with a iPhone 5, which works seamlessly. So far I have no issues. I do miss the Battery Indicator on the smart phone, but hey, before smart phones, we had to just deal right? One of the issues I've read about is the battery life. Don't forget, if you have all of the sound alerts on the BT will always kick on, i.e. texting, do you have key click on, well that counts against your talk time. I believe for the price, BOSE should of kicked in for a better case, so it doesn't get messed up. The ear piece is awesome, but it is very "Jelly Like", so I can see if accidentally pulling on it (getting it out of purse, pocket etc), you could overstretch it. I like that it doesn't have all the bells & whistles, I think because of that it answers the phone fast and gets the job done with less stress. I'm okay with no callerid, I found that with that function, you are listening to who is calling, during that time the phone is ringing, so the person calling could hang up, so most of the time, you are answering while the BT talking and telling you it is answering the call. I would give it five stars, if the battery indicator was available & hopefully some firmware upgrades to enhance the BT. BT's I've tried: ERA - Just didn't like it, too big (for my face) and trying to make sure the little thingie on the bottom was touch my face was driving me crazy (I was always saying "is it touching". Sliver - functions not compatible with iPhone, plus I think it amplified the background noise. Legend - Really liked it, but it is big and clunky, if you have small ears, it will eventually fall off, or you are always making sure it was on your ear. Q2 - Just sounded blah. SoundID Six - This was like I was playing telephone with a Tin Can.
