This unit is unbelievable in a silent room...Pink Floyd is a new experience. Even in a loud environment, it provides good sound quality. Got this on sale at 150.00...the only reason I bought it. Still on the post whether I would have bought without the sale, though. Got to say this though...I would not have known about this if I hadn't test drove it at ...a large electronics store in the City of Industry. Thank you for the sale! No regrets in the purchase.

Picked this up when it was on sale for $149 and I think that is a great price for this product. I use this as my daily entertainment device when it comes to podcasts or music. It sits right on my shoulders and it is a feeling like no other, in a good way. Compared to headphones, these make it easier to listen to other people while enjoying whatever you're listening to. People can hear the audio, but it sounds like a subdued headphone at 50% volume.

So this isn’t something you’ll be using a lot in public. Yes, it is quieter than a speaker but will still be annoying to others. Where this product really shines is just jamming around the house doing chores, mowing the lawn, studying, etc. It allows you to have both awareness of your surroundings and be immersed in the music, similar to a concert. Which is exactly what this products niche is; being at a concert for any song, any time, anywhere.

I get it, WHY?! right???? The moment I put this on at a best buy I just had to have it. I work 10+ hours at the office and sometimes seating headphones for that many hours can cause headaches, this right here helps, all you have to do is place them on your shoulders enjoy the music and still be connected to the outside world for when your boss needs you. Regarding the sound, sounds great for a wearable device and it can get loud too.

This thing is really cool. At first I did not use it much. After I took a few conference calls on it I was blown away by the clarity and have been told my voice comes through very clear as well. Great for office use to listen to music and switch between calls while remaining mobile and hands free. Sound quality is amazing and being able to hear your surroundings makes it feel like you have a personal life soundtrack.

I remember this soundwear speakers when they first came out and was surprised at the fullness of the music coming out of the speakers, then I looked at the price and didn’t think $300 was worth it for essentially a toy. The new price point is right on the money, at $150 you can’t beat it and nothing else compares. If your home and want good sound without turning on your home theatre setup then these are perfect, it’s not good for the gym or public transportation. It’s best at home or the office where you can hear music in privacy without upsetting others with your music selection.

I bought this expecting it sound as good or better than the other Bluetooth products from Bose. Was disappointed on two fronts - one, the quality of sound is not great especially at higher end of the volume spectrum..two, the music or phone conversations are not as private as I thought it would be and inconvenient for others around you while you are using. The only reason to buy this is you don't like earphones and you are ok with an average quality of music. This is severely overpriced for what it can deliver. By the way, I am a fan of Bose products and own many Bose products from headphones to home theatre.

Thank you for sharing your review of the SoundWear Companion speaker! We appreciate your feedback. This speaker was certainly designed to be used for more specific use-cases than some of our other headphones and Bluetooth speakers. This speaker can provide audio that will stay with you, as with headphones, but also allows you to keep your ears free and be aware of your surroundings, as with a Bluetooth speaker. Although the speaker will certainly reduce the amount of sound your neighbors hear, compared to what you are hearing, they will still be able to hear some audio. We appreciate you trying this speaker out, and thank you again for your feedback! Have a great day

I bought this wearable speakers for experimentation and i absolutely love them.The music listening experience is weird as if there are speaks kept all around u all the time.
I use them for watching movies or listening to music with my ipad and it gave me a very good experience.
I wouldn't recommend buying this for 300$ but for 150& its worth it.Also they are light and you wont feel like it is there on your shoulders .

I absolutely love this item! The Bose Soundwear is literally a mix between headphones and a Bluetooth speaker. I don’t personally like headphones because you are disconnected from everything else. And a speaker disturbs other people. Not to mention, the sound is phenomenal! Also be advised it actually comes with its own cover so you don’t need to purchase the cover sold separately. That’s what I did and had to return it. Love this Bose product.

Bose always delivers on quality of sound and build! For myself having broad shoulders and wide neck it did not work well for me. So unfortunately I returned it, not because of anything short of my own discomfort. I still highly recommend for a personal speaker.

This was another one of my daily deals I got it for 50% off so I only paid $150. Oh it’s definitely worth $150 that I wouldn’t pay the 300 or whatever the normal price is currently. It’s nice to have a hands-free and not have anything shoved in your ears so you can hear everything around you and the sound quality is good. the wife doesn’t like it so that’s good, it’s ALL mine!
