Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had the Powerbeats 3 for a little over the a year before they just completely died. I switched to Bose because I know they are known for quality and one of the best for sound quality as well. I wasn’t disappointed, these are so comfortable. I lift weights everyday and these are still very light and comfortable. The sound quality of Powerbeats I’d give 6/10 these are 9/10 or better. Thanks Bose!

Great headphones use them for gym they stay on great don’t fall our slip off

Bought this as Christmas gift for husband. He loves it. He can listen to music, movies and take calls.

If your a fan of music, you should choose Bose. Don't waste time and money on inferior Beats.

Great headphones my son said, he received for his birthday and he has enjoyed them so far.

These headphones are perfect for travel. The sound quality is great and they remove any outside noise.

Did not purchase the noise canceling headphones however very satisfied with these. In the past had the Sony headphones however these are far better.

I purchased this to listen to music while working. I dislike in-ear buds. Comfortable and sound great.

My wife loves these headphone. She says she cant hear anything else but the music !!!

Great headphones but do realize these are not the noise canceling ones. White pair gets dirty quick but overall AMAZING wireless over the ear headphones!

My son uses these for movies and games, and loves them. Highly recommended. Thanks!

Bose headphones are great & this one is very good and the sound quality is amazing.

These were a surprise for my husband for Father's Day. He's pleasantly surprised with how well they work. No complaints so far.

I love the earphones. The quality is amazing. Noise cancelling is better than expected.

I bought these for my daughter and she loves them. I had a chance to listen as the sound is incredible.

Excellent Sound and noise cancellation. Also works well on phone calls.

These are the best of sound and value. I would recommend them to all my friends.

Love these and the sound is amazing. Better quality than the more expensive Beats.

Bottom Line: sound quality is great; Bluetooth range is great; battery life is great; build quality/comfort is great. I'm a long-time Bose consumer. The first product I ever bought from their line was the TriPort AE headphones. That was my introduction to high quality sound: I loved the balance along all sections (mids + highs + lows) and was pretty sure my life would be Bose and nothing else ever after. The bad news was that the physical quality of the TriPort headphones left a lot to be desired: the headband frame snapped and cracked within a year. I was young at the time, and careless: if I had kept the receipt I could have notified Bose and had them replaced (this was back before retailers started keeping online copies of receipts, and I had paid cash for the headphones). I duct-taped them and kept using for as long as I could: eventually the frame broke beyond comfortable usage and I had to dispose of them. I tried a couple other brands and didn't quite get the sound quality & comfort I hoped for. A few years later I opted for the Bose AE2 headphones. The build of the headset frame was much improved: far more flexible with more pivots; lighter in weight; softer padding material to make wearing them much more comfortable. It's six years later and I still have them & was using them on occasion until recently. Over the past year I became most interested in obtaining an ideal set of wireless headphones. I'd bought some in-ear Bluetooth models: these had focused on "extra bass" and had decent battery capacity for being so small, but the sound quality was not at all what I desired as an audiophile (frequently listening to classical music and classical + soft rock). I found a decent pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones that were not the "extra bass" version - these had nice sound and excellent battery life. But the sound quality still wasn't approaching what I'd been used to from Bose. So recently it came time for me to explore again and seek a new pair of Bluetooth headphones. I read about these and decided to buy and give them a shot. And am so glad I did. The most surprising thing is that the sound quality for these WIRELESS headphones exceeds the quality I'd been used to and pleased with from my previous versions of WIRED Bose headphones. These definitely match and probably even exceed the sound quality of my AE2 headphones. My favorite thing to do is use these late at night when watching TV: I was surprised by some sounds I heard while watching "Game of Thrones" using these headphones that I hadn't heard previously when using the 6.1 surround sound from my home receiver. While these are not noise-cancelling, the around-ear construction does manage to weaken exterior noises well enough. For me, if I choose to focus solely on the audio coming to the headset then outer noise is easily dismissed - but if I feel a need to then I can focus on outside noise and pick it up well enough. Additionally I did find that the B/T connection distance exceeded what I got from my other wireless earbuds & wireless Sony headphones: I don't have a mansion, mind you, but there are areas of my home where the other wireless sets would start to crackle/stutter when I got far enough away from the source- whereas I have not experienced this in those same areas with the SoundLink II. The other great thing is how lightweight and comfortable these headphones are. I still remember the day I put my TriPort headphones on and heard the distinct SNAP when the headband cracked from overuse. Bose has come a long way in terms of quality: these feel like a lot of care was put into their making and I feel comfortable that they will last a long time - as I can say for my AE2 set which I've had for nearly six years now. I do have a slight gripe that the SoundLink II don't have the same number of pivots as the AE2 model: so they can't be collapsed & shrunk down as much as the older model. But again I still feel confident that these aren't going to crack/snap on me - and that counts for a lot. Haven't had a chance to really put these through the paces in terms of battery life. Once bought I plugged these into a wall charger for an hr: the charger light was still blinking yellow (charging) but when I turned them on the voice prompt said they were fully charged. I've used for several days now and know they can go at least 12 hours between charges w/o loss of quality - I haven't used them longer than that yet & haven't heard/seen a low battery warning.

The sound quality is awesome. Really enjoying it. Highly recommend.
