Great sound and comfort
||Posted .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.

Great Clean Sound
||Posted .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.

Quality sound. Quality made.
||Posted .A very well made and balanced set of headphones. Light and comfortable to wear. Block out a lot of the surrounding sound. Music is clear and accurate. If you are looking for booming base, get another set of phones. I was really pleased with how clear the sounds are. I listened to old favorites and could understand some lyrics I had never heard before. Huge difference listening to conversations on the phone with this headset compared to the cellphone speaker.

Extremely comfortable!
||Posted .I use these for work, almost exclusively for video conferencing. The mic is very clear and works very well, which was one of my main drivers for this particular set because of the aforementioned video conferences. The headphones have great sound quality, to the point that I now use these over my original Sony headphones (no mic) when I do music editing for my daughter's ice skating routines. Between the improved sound quality and blocking out ambient sound it is a much better experience. The sound canceling quality is almost too good, as when there are quiet points in the meetings, or before people show up, I can't hear ANYTHING, and it almost drives me crazy just hearing my own breathing and heart beating. Not the headphone's fault though! just doing it's job. They are also very comfortable when I have to wear them for meetings that will run up to 2 hours or more. So far have never gotten fatigued from having them on for long periods.

Good headphones for the price I paid
||Posted .To start, I got these on sale for $99 and did not pay the full $180 price. At the $99 price, I think they are good headphones. They have a full sound and decent bass and do a pretty good job of isolating the sound without hearing most noises going on around you. I enjoy wearing these at work or while commuting on the train and I can wear them for hours and they are still very comfortable. If I had paid $180 for these, i would be slightly disappointed. Since I think you can probably get better sounding headphones once you are looking at ones in the $200-250 price range. Overall, happy with them at the price I paid.

Pretty good headphones, better then beats
Posted .They are very nice headphones that can be used daily and for a while. Reading the reviews of the first soundtrues they talk about that it did not deliver enough bass. The newer ones definetly have more bass, not a whole lot, but more than the old ones. They do not have noise cancellation, so some noises get through, it does not get bothersome though. Since the android version is available now all buttons work seamlessly. The are very comfortable, so you can wear them for a long time. The sound overall is really nice, there are maybe some better ones, but for the price they are just what i wanted and expected. My only complaint would be the long cable, but it is not a reason to not buy these headphones. If you do get the headphones the right speaker might not work, but that is only because you have not pushed the cable in hard enough. There has to be a clicking noise. The build quality is also good for the price. I definetly recommend them

Near perfect
||Posted .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!

Q: QuestionWill these headphones work with Skype an an android cell phone?Will these headphones work with Skype on an android cell phone? In particular, what is the quality of the sound produced by the in-line mic heard by someone receiving a call through Skype?
Asked by NetBookUser.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionI 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?
Asked by Curiousone.
- A:Answer 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: QuestionDo 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.
