I got these headphones for my wife. She is not a audiophile by any means but I wanted her to have a good listening experience from a quality headphone. The build quality seems very good and the leather for the ear cups is very soft and comfortable.

  - immediately noticed discomfort behind the ears because I wear glasses - the foam cups go behind the ears and press up against the end of the temples of my glasses

We have Bose sound system in our LR, BR, and entertaining room. We have been customers for over 15 yrs. I've been looking for headphones for when I'm at the gym. These were a super deal (I've been pricing). The sound is not what Bose is known for at all. Volume is as if you are on a close and play.

Comparing with my Beats wireless studio headphones, I absolutely love these Bose ones more! Very happy about my purchase, and will get a lot of use of it!

Love this brand of audio, nothing but the best . I would recommend this product to anyone who wants great quality in headphones.

Sounds great. The bass is tight and solid, but not overriding. The highs and mids are clear and crisp.Lots of plastic, but doesn't feel flimsy.Comfortable fit, soft ear cups. Not too tight on my average sized head, but doesn't feel like it's going to fall off. Not for running...

The connectivity to my iPhone was seamless. The noise cancellation is astounding. The battery life is second to none. Bose makes a great product.

  Attractive Design, Compact, Durable, Great feel, Great Sound, Lightweight

I like the sound quality. Sound is a little bit slow if using bluetooth mode. Otherwise, extremely satisfied as the name Bose speaks for itself.

Got these headphones 6 months ago to use with both my iPhone 6S+ and MacBook Pro. Absolutely great sound, good noise cancelling, long battery life, and loved being "unattached" from my phone and lap. That was the BEFORE.

Initially I was a little underwhelmed when compared to the pair of headphones I already had. However, upon further use I realized they do in fact sound very good. The battery life is great, and I love how light-weight they are.
