Bose AE2w Headband Wireless Headphones - Black

Best Headphones

This is my second pair of AE2W headphones...I keep the first paired with my Iphone, for music, while exercising at the gym and working at my desk at home or at the office...and this one paired with the Bluetooth transmitter attached to my TV sound system in the family room. Both work beautifully...and with the included cable, my wife and I can use them on a plane, while traveling and watching a movie or listening to music. Previously, while traveling, we used the Bose QC15 headphones, for excellent sound quality and noise reduction. The noise reduction of the AE2W isn't quite as good as the QC15 or QC25...but the wireless Bluetooth capability more than makes up for it.Read full review

Disappointed in BOSE - surprised me too!

I actually got these for taking calls on my VOIP phone. I wear hearing aids so "around the ear" instead of "on/over the ear" is critical to me. These are around the ear by the strictest definition. They do just barely go around my ears, but only just. The main point of around the ear is for comfort. It allows the load/weight to be spread out and if the breath you can wear them for long periods with little or no discomfort.
They are just not big enough to work well for me. There is no denying a good sound quality. They also expand well for my big head. If they had just made the earpieces larger it would have been 5 stars. But as an "Around the Ear" headset they far fall short.Read full review

Awesome

There is a reason "BOSE" means Best Overall Sound Experience. Yes there are other good brands. But nothing I have heard rivals this. It's Bluetooth module transmits flawless sound. When wired, these are in matches. The cover the entire ear for a listening experience that focuses on outstanding sound. You can't go wrong with BOSE.Read full review

Excellent headphones

Sometimes I forget I have them on my head, they are very comfortable.
I agree with some other people saying that the bass is probably not the best, but I like it that way (too much bass gives me headaches and I can't listen to music for too long).
They are not noise canceling, but that is also one of things I liked about this product. The noise canceling creates that weird pressure in my earths that I don't like.
The price is pretty good when comparing to the newer versions.
Finally, and probably the reason I bought this, is the fact that you can remove the bluetooth and charge it separately; it is very convenient.

I also read some comments saying that their bluetooth stopped working after a few days, reason why I bought the insurance (for about 30 dollars) offered when buying this product; just in case. Haven't had the need of using it.Read full review

Best purchase ever!

I love these headphones. I researched Bose vs. Beats, and Bose Soundlink won out on several features. I love how lightweight these are with great sound and comfort. Being able to wireless is the ultimate treat. Definitely worth the money!!!Read full review

Bose BT Headphones

Very please with the headphones. Light weight, yet securely stay on, while moving around during work. Sound quality is very good also. If there were one area I would prefer some adjustability, it would be to have some EQ controls for fine tuning.Read full review

Sound Quality

For a Bose system it doesn't really have the sound quality that I expected. Volume doesn't volume up loud enough to my preferences. Other than that this item is doable but I prefer the types of bluetooth systems that fits around the neck instead of having this across the top of my head. I'm a truck driver and by federal law we have to have a bluetooth device in view if the truck is in motion.Read full review
