    I like this a lot. It has great sound and the great volume. The main problem is the distance limits from my phone. When I am working out in the yard I don't like having my phone on me. But other than that I like this product.

    We love these as a family! Sound great and are very comfortable. The only problem is who gets to wear them - these are fought over in our house

    I'm happy with the sound, I don't think it is nearly as good as what I heard from the display at the store, but still sounds good. I do like that they can get so loud that I can sit them down and use them as a Bluetooth speaker.

    If a person doesn't like Headphones or anything in their ears but wants a personal surround sound while they travel around the house doing housework or yard work or working in the garage what does a person do? They use this the Bose Soundwear companion where the party is worn around your neck the sound envelops around the user and the other are not bothered unless is cranked up to the max. Sure not everyone is going to need this but for those who want an personal infotainment system that travels with them with great bass get this!

    I hate conventional headphones, whether over-ear or in-ear. I already had a beloved Sound Wear Companion that I paid full price for. When they went on sale for 50% off, I jumped at the chance to have a second one. The sound is great, you can hear what else is going on in the house (grandkids...) and you won't drive everyone nuts playing the TV too loud. BTW, some reviewers have criticized this Bose Wearable for having distorted sound. I have found that ONLY when playing it at the absolute max volume.

    A bit pricey, but the sound quality is great. It is more comfortable than wearing earbuds or earpods. I really like the Bose sound wear companion.

    I bought this because I liked the idea that I could wear this around my neck. I don't always like my ears covered up. I really enjoy the sound that comes out of this wireless speaker. It is easy to pair with the bluetooth especially with the Bose Connect App. The app allows you to see all available devices to connect to, which is great because normally its reversed. Normally, your device only finds the available bluetooth headphones. Now you have the option to see it both ways. There are more settings in the app to meet your needs.

    These sound decently great for what it offers. Unfortunately this is not for everybody and depends on what you’re using these for. For me at work, I like to listen to music while working but at the same time I need to be able to hear my surroundings in case people are calling my name. I have several different headphones and earphones including the Bang & Olufsen E8 which has transparency mode but that is not sufficient enough for me to hear my surroundings so I opted to purchase this Bose Soundwear.

    Has a vibrating effect which enhances the bass and has excellent sound quality. The charging location can be a bit awkward

    I took a chance on this product because it was half off. And I love it, I use it every day. But I don't think I would pay $300 for it. But if you can get it on a sale definitely worth it.

    Im a bose fan because of the quality of products they always produce. Pricewise, its not exciting, but in the long run they always delivers quality stuff. I got the product at a discount so Im not upset, otherwise, this headset is not worth for me at this price range.- hence im removing a star. Quick paring and sound superb- as usual, bose delivers with the sound and quality. Sounds leak out so this is not for private listening. Im not sure either if this can be used for exercising as it could fall out. This would be excellent though for easy listening while relaxing on the couch. I used mine in my car while so I can still hear the traffic.

    These are great! Better than headphones, better than speakers. You forget you have them on since they sit on your shoulder and the sound goes directly to your ears, but you remain fully aware of your surroundings. On low volume the sound remains exceptional and those around you are not disturbed. At full volume you are fully imersed in the moment. Best option for commutes, walks, hikes, lounging, and even working on household tasks etc. The music is always with you at the perfect volume and position.

    This was an impulse buy. It's one of those audio products that may leave you wondering when and how you're going to use it. For myself, it becomes most useful working in my studio, where the portable AC is nearby, overpowering the sound coming out of my computer speakers. With the SoundWear on, I can hear things clearly and still hear what's around me. The SoundWear is comfortable, and the audio quality is superb...as one would expect from Bose. Just note that, it's not some magical directional audio device. People around you will be able to hear what you're listening to. Otherwise, this is a well-made device, if a bit expensive.

    What can I say bose is the best in sound. Only down side it needs a strap to keep it from falling off your neck.
