    My biggest complaint is that they are so flimsy. I am concerned that they will break easily. The sound quality is okay.

      The microphone and control buttons on these headphones were designed specifically for the Apple ios family of devices. If you are having an issue with one of those products controlling volume, we'd like to take a closer look with you.

      We would recommend trying more than one audio device to compare the low volume. If it is consistent across multiple audio devices, that is not normal and we'd like to help you out.

      You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM and on Sat., 9 AM – 7 PM ET. Bose

    Great sounding premium headphones

    I REALLY wanted a set of headphones for daily personal use (aside from the gym) that are light, comfortable, and can produce a great balance of sounds. I've watched many Youtube comparison reviews of Bose and Beats headphones, and had great difficulty on which headphone to buy. I love the design of the Beats and the many color choices, but I preferred the comfort fit of the Bose. Each brand cater to a different audience and are good in their own way, but eventually, I decided on the Bose, specifically, the Soundtrue On-Ear (OE) headphone in white. I've tried on numerous headphones at the local BB, and the only one that felt the most comfortable to me was the Bose OE. The ear cuffs were so pillowy soft that I barely notice them after a few minutes of wearing the headphones. I also tried the Soundtrue Around-the-Ear (AE), but being warmblooded, my ears started to sweat underneath the cuff. While comparing both the OE and AE, I also noticed that the OE had a stronger, more contained sound (not as scattered). Although there is no active noise canceling feature, I can barely hear external noise at 50% volume. Being OE, there is slight noise leakage above 50% volume. These Bose Soundtrue had the balance of sound output that I was looking for. The mids and highs are clear and crisp with the vocals not being overpowered by the bass (changing the equalizer on my iPod/iPhone to bass booster improved bass even more). If head numbing bass is your priority, this is not the headphones for you. This is made for the buyer who listens to all genre of music and instrumentals and audio books. I also would not recommend this headphones to wear for jogging and robust exercise as it will not stay in place on your head. The detachable cord is long and has an inline remote (volume and pause) and microphone, making it easy to switch between phone calls and music. A nice carrying case is provided and the headphones folds neatly to a smaller size. The ear cups turn and swivel to fit all head shapes and size. Bose has smartly designed this headphones and engineered it to produce deep, clear, and better sound. Like all premium headphones on the market, it is not cheap but that is what one pays for with great sound engineering and exclusivity. Bose has been around for awhile now and has been known for their work in the science of sound. I really like Bose, but even more importantly, I wanted a great set of headphones that delivered everything I was looking for and one that will stand the test of time. This is definitely a keeper!

    They are okay sound quality is good but I really don’t like the cord. That’s really the only issue I have. I purchased wireless Bose headphones and these are in my drawer.

    Head phones are working great. Uncomfortable on the top of my head, but beginning to believe all head phones are going to be uncomfortable for me to wear. Striving to break them in. Have not use the microphone yet, or at least I believe there's a microphone.

    I read some decent reviews on these and they were in an ad for a good sale price so we went to the store to buy these and they were out of stock but the salesperson told us they were really good so we ordered them online. After using them for a while I decided my 5 year old $20 Skullcandy earbuds sound much better than these. You hear singing in one ear and music in the other ear which I've never heard of before. They also sound like you're listening to them at the end of a very long tunnel and they have a really flat sound. Needless to say I returned them and went back to my cheap earbuds that have a higher quality sound than these headphones do.

    The sound is good but I have another set of headphones by skullcandy and those sound better. I was expecting Bose to be better. Also, the sound is very much audible to others even if the headphones are on my ears.
