Review: Expensive, and NO REGRETS. - Something I hadn't read (or noticed) when narrowing down my options, is that this pair of headphones can listen to 2 sources simultaneously. So while I'm listening to my computer for work, it's still connected to my phone, and I can hear when someone is calling, and can even take the call while still listening to my computer. This is something I didn't know was possible, and is 100% what I needed. I'm SO happy with this purchase. Aside from that feature, which may not apply to anyone else, these are the MOST comfortable headphones I have ever purchased. I have a pair of wired Bose at home, that have lasted for several years. They are super comfortable as well, but these really take the cake. Somewhere in their product description, they say you never want to take them off, and it's true. I'm also very impressed by the battery life. I leave them charging on Friday night, so Monday morning, they are at 100% (she tells you every time you turn them on what the percentage of battery life is!), and by Friday afternoon, they're usually around 30-40%, and I wear them 10 hours a day! They also get the best reception of any wireless headphones I've ever used. I can walk around my building and still hear my computer, and they don't cut out like my old Bluetooth ones did. I also have only had very slight sound delay. But then I turned them off and back on, and the delay was gone. But it wasn't even a full second of sound delay- just a fraction of a second, so it might not be noticeable to anyone just listening to music without using visuals. I don't know what else to say about these headphones. They are perfect. I'm so very glad I splurged. I know they are THE ONES and will last me a very long time. Bose knows, man. Bose knows.
Review: Excellent, amazing sound, good bass, tight treble - I had a pair of Skullcandy Hesh-2 Bluetooth headphones prior to buying the Bose. The Hest-2 were a $100 pair of headphones and were definitely worth the price, though the battery only lasted a year. The sound fidelity between the Bose and Hesh-2 is night and day. The Hesh-2 were boomy and pushed the mids a bit too much. The Bose have an excellent sound curve with tight and low bass, flat mids, and crisp highs. The sound replication is very accurate and these will reveal the quality in music that you've been missing. You'll want to crack out your EQ (whether on your phone or home stereo) as you'll find you can push a lot of different frequencies through these. When it comes to home theater and movies, you'll need to switch from surround sound to 2-ch stereo...if you don't, you'll get a bit of a distant, tin-can-spacey-feel to the surround sound. Switching to 2-channel stereo gets you close to where you want to be with an excellent representation of the soundstage. In the beginning of Star Trek Beyond, when the Enterprise is being attacked by Krall swarm, you'll hear the attacks sweep across from the rear-left to the right, giving you a good impression of a larger soundstage. Sadly, the mids and vocals in today's movies requires separate channels and you'll lose a bit here with the Bose. Thus, while they're good for movies and surround sound, they're not great unless you tweak the equalizer to push these a bit. Bluetooth Latency: as with almost all Bluetooth headphones, there is a bit of signal lag based on the distance you sit from the TV and the amount of time it takes to process that sound through the various CODECS between the devices. The Bose are no different and the only way I've ever found to bypass that is to tweak the speaker delay on the receiver or just use the analog cable. My experience of sitting 8' away from the television using an MPOW bluetooth transmitter plugged into my receiver's headphone output to the Bose Headphones incurs a delay of about 22ms; just enough to be noticeable after a minute or two. YMMV. Pairing was a snap as the headphones have voice prompts to tell you what Bluetooth profile they're connected to. This is fantastic feature when switching from your mobile phone to your desktop, or from your laptop and to your home stereo, etc. Just flip the head phones to the middle "on" position, then push the slider up to cycle through the different bluetooth connections until you hear the one you want. Less fiddling in the dark and messing with the profiles on your phone or other devices to get them to connect to the right source. Brilliant! There is a nice carrying case and a very short analog cable to use without bluetooth or for regular stereo/headphone connections.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the different between this model(soundlink headphone ii) and the first model(soundlink headphone i)? 
I need more detailed information ^_^**
A: The SoundLink Around-Ear II is an improved version of the original model.  The Bluetooth is integrated internally in the headphones as opposed to using a detachable dongle. The series II upgrades the Bluetooth version to 4.1 which offers compatibility with more types of devices.  Additionally, the battery in the series II offers about 15 hours of power (at an average listening volume) instead of the 7 hours of the previous version. We hope this helps.  Thanks!

**Q: When I talk to someone on my iPhone using these headphones, the person sounds like a bad computer voice and their voice cuts in & out. Any fixes?**
A: We're sorry to hear you are having this issue. There are definitely a few things to try to correct this issue. The first is to make sure the devices are within the bluetooth wireless range of approximately 30 feet. If they are, we also just released a software update for these headphones, which can be found here: http://updates.bose.com/soundlinkae2. If you are still experiencing issues after taking these steps, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-367-4008, so we may assist you further.

**Q: What is the range for these headphones?**
A: The Bluetooth range of the SoundLink Around-Ear Series II headphones is 33 feet from the connected device.  Thanks for the question!

**Q: How good is the noise cancelation on these?**
A: The around the ear and solid back design makes them pretty good at mechanically blocking all but the loudest external noises. I also find that noise cancelling on the microphone function works well, allowing me to make clear calls over my cell phone. Overall they compare favorably, both in terms of sound quality and noise cancelling, with a pair of Sony MDR-NC8 I own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by V***A on May 20, 2016*

Please Read My in depth review of the Bose Around Ear wireless Headphone (White Colour): I did not purchase the product from amazon but directly from Bose Store in Delhi. The product was initially not in stock but a single unit was kept unsold in one of the other bose store in Delhi itself. Therefore, I received the product with delay and the waiting was worth. The product was a seal pack and I personally went and got it myself. Now here I write in depth review of the BOSE around ear wireless headphones: PROS: 1. Comfort: Super Comfy, Adjustable length, very light weight, can be worn for long hours and extended sessions. This will never cause fatigue on your ears or make your head uncomfortable. The headphones wont come off your ears even during workouts in gym, jogging, running and brisk walking. They stay perfect on your ears all the time. 100/100 for comfort. 2. Presentation and accessories: The BOSE headphones are neatly packed in a single box and comes with headphones, carry case, 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm AUX cable. The AUX cable is used when you die out of battery and still headphones work without battery. The carry case is very classy and is made up of durable material that wont wear out after years of use. 3. Battery: The battery on the wireless headphones is awesome. On a single charge, the battery will last upto 15 hrs and in my actual test it died early since I use the headphones heavily on full volume in the gym. That's not an issue but, it gives 2 hours of playback time just by charging it 15 minutes, very nice feature. 100/100 in battery 4. Sound Quality: The headphones are perfect for all kind of music that you listen be hindi or english. Be it a EDM, hip-hop etc, the headphones work perfectly fine with any kind of music genre. The bass on the headphones are just perfect and not over powered like beats headphones. The base levels are easily adjustable with equalizer settings on your device. On 100% volumes, the sound is that much that you wont be able hear the outside world and will be completely in your own world. Even the heavy music played in the gym, I was not able to hear even a bit of it, just was able to listen what was being played on headphones. The sound quality is really really awesome. 100/100 in sound section. CONS: 1. It does not have active noise cancellation, but has passive noise cancellation which works perfect. 2. Little over-priced, but if it is solving your purpose, investing in it is a huge plus and you won't regret buying the product.
