Product Description
Enjoy a better wireless experience with Bose SoundLink around-ear wireless headphones II. Exclusive technology delivers deep, immersive sound at any volume, making them the best-sounding wireless headphones available. A dual microphone wind so you'll be heard loud and clear. And enhanced side tone makes your voice sound more natural. SoundLink wireless headphones use the latest Bluetooth technology so you can easily connect to your mobile devices with seamless audio/video sync and switch between two devices. For NFC-enabled devices, you can simply tap the right ear cup for quick pairing. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery lets you listen for up to 15 hours and gives you up to 2 hours of play time with a 15-minute charge. Effortless touch controls allow for simple command of your music and calls. And voice prompts give you information about battery life, device connection and caller ID. SoundLink wireless headphones are lighter and more comfortable than other comparable wireless headphones so you can enjoy them all day long. Wear them almost anywhere, and experience uncompromised wireless performance. Included: SoundLink around-ear headphones; detachable audio cable; carrying case.For NFC-enabled phones, simply turn on the headphones by sliding the three-position power switch to the middle position. Then tap the back side of your phone on the front of the right earcup where you see the embossed NFC logo, and follow the prompt to accept a connection. If you don't have an NFC-enabled phone, first, make sure that the headphones are turned on by sliding the power switch to the middle position. Next, press the power switch to the Bluetooth icon until the Bluetooth LED flashes blue or the voice-enhanced user interface gives you additional directions. Now, follow the directions within the smartphones Bluetooth menu to connect the headphones. The NFC function in iPhone 6/6 Plus or 7/7 Plus only enables Apple pay functionality. It doesn't facilitate pairing. Please use pairing instructions for phones that are not NFC enabled. Not compatible with TV. Many TVs do not have wireless Bluetooth functionality. Although a transmitter will technically work, the experience does not meet Bose expectations. There will be a distracting delay between the audio and video that detracts from the experience.

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.
the comfort level of these headphones is very high. i really like the soft top and the soft cups--they fit well over my ears and they don't dig into my head.
the sound quality on these is also really great! i've been using airpods for years now, which sound fine! but these are soooo much better. sound is clear and crisp and the bass is just right--not too heavy or light.
compared to airpods, it's to be expected that the bluetooth connectivity isn't as stellar with an iPhone. if it has other past connections nearby, it'll try connecting to them. my girlfriend borrowed them once and then i couldn't get it to find my device without her removing them on her own device. a small hiccup, but it can be annoying.
these are in the mid-price range and i think they're a good value for the quality. im happy that they come in a small case to protect them and come with a cord to connect to a device the old fashioned way. i use it rarely, but i do use it!
overall, these were a good buy and a reasonable and stylish alternative to the popular sony headphones.

Increíblemente buenos en todo menos el precio, aunque por ser un modelo más antiguo están rebajados y la calidad hay que pagarla. Le dan mil vueltas a modelos más modernos de otros fabricantes , con estética futurista tipo secadores de pelo , que después solo valen de figurita de estantería.
Excelente Calidad de sonido, distingues cada instrumento a la perfección, los bajos son potentes pero no tormentosos, lo que mejora la percepción del resto de las frecuencias y a todo volumen nunca tienen ventosidades en los golpes bajos. Sonido nítido , cristalino y potente.
Calidad en los plásticos, textura fina , almohadillas extra cómodas y de tacto exquisito, te dan ganas de ponertelos mejor de postre.
Al conectarlos te da instrucciones por voz en varios idiomas tales como dispositivo conectado, estado de la bateria, volumen , temperatura y humedad en las orejas y otros conceptos.
La batería te dura más de 14 horas , dependiendo del volumen que le indiques, suficiente para aguantar un viaje Madrid/Hong Kong /Honolulu sin recargar. .
También son excelentes para escuchar TV y ver películas. Las presentadoras y los personajes parecen más jóvenes y los efectos de sonido de las películas brutales e impactantes. En las series de terror nocturnas mejor dejarlos apagados.
Viene con un curioso estuche para guardarlos en maletas apretadas y que a veces confundo con el bolsito de pinturas de mi mujer .
La unica pega.... que con el reguetón se enfadan bastante y protestan, porque prefieren música armónica y bien compuesta.
... NO SE LES PUEDE PEDIR MAS POR MENOS...

They are also great for general music listening, or even zooming / Teams / Skype / etc because the sound is lovely (well, it's Bose - what do you expect?). But these are NOT noise cancelling, though they look identical to the QC-35s. They are NOT really even noise isolating, just over-ear phones. I can remain aware of the world around without being oppressed by it but in very noisy environments (public transport, busy city streets - remember those? - loud public spaces) then they won't block out enough sound to let you really get your groove on. I'm fine with that, you may not be.
Battery life is phenomenal. Truly amazing. The noise-cancelling headphones have good battery life but these have even less work to do so the battery life is even better.
Sound quality is right up there - not quite on par with my Grado SR-80s but you wouldn't start a fight in a pub over the difference.
Style is fab - classic shape but really smart in white and tan, and they do come with a nice case.
Like all other Bose headphones the ear cups turn the "wrong" way when you are hanging them round your neck which is always annoying. If you don't know what I mean then you have a very thin neck and don't need to turn the cups sideways for extra comfort - lucky you, just don't nod too hard :)
So there you go - simple, effective, BASIC headphones that sound fabulous, look great and probably won't fill every niche you have. If QC-35s could turn off the ANC they would be the superior choice everywhere, but they can't and sometimes you need situational awareness, not dead silence, and then these fit the bill just nicely.
Oh and they come with a cable so you can use them even if the battery is flat, as long as you have a headphone socket and don't need the microphone. Nice touch.
