    Bought these for my 18 year old son. When given the choice between "Beatz by Dre" and these, it was a "no brainer" to him to choose great quality over great advertising hype. Subsequent reputable sound technology review confirmed my/our decision. Dre for play....Sony for sound!!!!

    This is my first wireless headphone and I am very enjoyed. The sound is very rich between bass and middle range, specially acoustic sound. Not design for noise cancelling but it's pretty good to block some noise.

    I tried these out because they were slightly cheaper than the ones I had in mind. They did not muffle very much sound from the room or airplane. I travel alot and needed something to deaden the airplane noise. They are nice and extremely lightweight but ended up taking back and getting what I had originally had in mind. The microphone did not pick up my voice that well either.

    Beats may be fun but they are garbage compared to Bose. There is always something new out there but "I goes with what I knows and that is Bose." You can never go wrong with Bose products.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Best Buy's web site. If you are having clarity issues, we'd like to learn more. One thing that you can do is turn off the headphones, delete them from your Bluetooth device's list, and clear the pairing list by turning the headphones back on and simultaneously pressing the Multifunction and Volume – buttons for 10 seconds until the disconnect tone is heard.
      We can always help troubleshoot further as well. You can our well-trained technical experts at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM and on Sat., 9 AM – 7 PM ET. Bose

    Yes Bose is proud of their product as indicated by price. They are likely priced higher than they should be, but that doesn’t stop me from buying. This headset is no exception. I hate in ear buds so have been looking for an over the ear wireless Bluetooth enabled headset that not only plays music, but takes phone calls as well. This fits the Bill. Sound quality is better than good but not the best (Haven’t found a wireless that matches up to wires yet.) This headset ranks at the top of wireless for sound quality. Good Midrange and trebles, Bass is a little soft and mushy, but acceptable (Certainly not bad) I am 50 so take my diminished hearing capacity into account with these comments. Bluetooth works well when battery is strong. When it gets weak (After about 6-8 hours of use) you can start to hear drop outs and clicking. Easy sync and switch between multiple devices. I am always switching between my iPhone, Ipad, Mac and Windows laptop. It maintains sync with 2 devices simultaneously (or so it seems). A pretty cool feature as I can be watching movie on my mac, and still hear and pick up calls on my phone. Comfort and ergonomics are also to be commended. Very comfortable wear even with all day use. I just spent the week traveling with the headphones on continuously. Almost forgot they were there. I have tried Plantronics and LG Tones and while I don’t like the in ear buds(Comfort issue); I DO like how you can hang them around your neck when not in use. The drawback to the Bose is they don’t hang around the neck too easily or comfortably. I ended up leaving them on my head and while comfortable, not very practical. I found one wear position where I extend the headband to full length, put the right ear cup over the right ear and rest the left ear cup on my left check. This puts the microphone right at my mouth for better reception, and leaves one ear open to listen to the world around me. It just looks ridiculous. Ergonomically the controls are well laid out on the mic and Bluetooth receiver. Most of the functions are controlled from the main button on top. This is a big square button that is very easy to reach and manipulate. Volume buttons are on the side, well separated and a good size. No more fumbling around with itty bitty buttons you can’t see or feel with large fingers and accidentally pressing the wrong ones . I wish they would have included a hard case and not the cloth bag. Ear padding got all squished first time I put them in my flight bag. Next day I spent another 40 bucks on a hard case. Not happy about that. I call these ALMOST perfect as they would have been perfect if they had attached the bluetooth adaptor to the QE15s instead of the AE2s. Sigh….

    Bose makes wonderful products. My wife wanted a headset to use with the TV so I bought the wireless headset. It was the wrong one. I'm keeping it anyway and buying the corded one for my wife.
