Too short lived for the cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't waste your money. The right ear bud failed after 1 year 4 months, just outside of warranty and Bose was zero help. They had me reset them and they worked for another week then failed again. There are less expensive alternatives that will probably last as long or longer.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat for music..BUT
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are amazing for music listening. But these are probably the worst head phones i have owned to talk with. I had them replaced by bose but the new ones had the exact same issue. The person on the other end was barely able to hear me.

I would recommend this to a friendOuch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the concept of being able to listen to music and hear the world around you. The item itself was light weight and stayed on while moving around but after a while of wearing it my ears would hurt. The item put alot of pressure in one spot hurting me . The audio wasnt too bad but using it for calls was a no go. There was constant complaints that the other person on the call couldnt hear me. I ended up returning it. For the price it wasnt worth it . I expected better.
