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.

The BEST Headphones I Have Ever Used!!!
EDIT: After owning these headphones for just a few days over a year, read my updated review beneath the original! After reading reviews and seeing nothing but outstanding remarks for these headphones, I decided to drop the cash and give it a shot. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I'm definitely an audiophile; I produced EDM music for quite a while which trained me to care about proper balance in songs. These headphones have AMAZING balance! Most expensive headphones that I've tried on just have a crazy boosted bass and it gives me a headache. Not to mention, it just doesn't sound good haha! Anyway, these headphones have super crisp highs, good mids, and crunchy bass. They really are perfect. As for comfort, I could easily wear these things all day. Sometimes I forget I'm even wearing these headphones... They look pretty stylish and they aren't too big. The carrying case is pretty lowkey and it works fine, no problems there. Headphones charge fast and the battery lasts me about a week with daily usage. I enjoy the little voice that sounds whenever you switch devices or turn on the headphones. It's not obnoxious in the slightest. Bluetooth is always a little finicky but these headphones connect almost flawlessly. They automatically reconnect to your last device and that makes things go A LOT faster! Switching devices is pretty simple too. Using the included aux cord doesn't effect sound quality at all. Good for conserving battery life is you don't particularly need the wireless feature at the time of listening! Overall, I'm more than satisfied with my purchase. It was well worth the money and I would recommend these headphones to anyone AND everyone! If you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. EDIT: As mentioned above, I've owned these headphones for a little over a year now and I'm still impressed. Even after 1 entire year of extensive use (multiple road trips, a whole school year in the backpack, recording, listening, calling) these still work flawlessly and I've had ZERO major problems whatsoever. Long story short, I'm still sticking with the 5 star review. Below is a little more detail: Physical: No physical damage at all. I try to take care of my stuff, but accidents happen and these headphones have not sustained any scratches, dents, or cracked despite my heavy usage. The foam-ish headband piece still holds its shape. The earphones are still fluffy and squishy (no tears or deformities). At some point in my 1 year of ownership, the little piece of fabric that has the "L" on it (inside the left ear cup; it covers the electronics and such) started slipping out, but I was able to finagle it back in and there's been no problem since. I use the case basically whenever I transport these headphones and that's probably the main reason they've maintained physical integrity. Highly recommend using that case. It's small, sleek, and effective. Sound: I haven't owned any other headphones since these so I can't compare the sound of other headphones to these, however, I'm about to purchase a Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro which is known for it's studio quality, neutral sound. I'll compare the sound when I purchase them. I have noticed problems occasionally when connected to multiple devices. If the headphones are connected to my iPhone and my MacBook I sometimes have a little lag when watching YouTube. But as mentioned by another reviewer, turning on and off the headphones solves this. I don't get too many phone calls, but the several calls I've had while wearing these headphones were crystal clear and easy to understand (on both ends, I asked). I've had several VERY minor issues with the Bluetooth connectivity overall, but Bose regularly puts out firmware updates for their hardware and they've solved many of these issues. I'd say check about once a month for updates on their update site: http://btu.bose.com/ The only negative: since these are over-the-ear headphones, they have some natural sound cancelling properties, but after I tried out some Bose Active Noise Cancelling Headphones at Target, I can't even BEGIN to explain how amazing the active noise cancelling was. With the Bose SoundLink headphones, the natural noise cancelling is good. It blocks out a majority of background noise and outsiders cannot hear my music at all (unless it's turned up very high... don't do that!). But with the active noise cancelling headphones, it's almost magical. You put those headphones on and it's just dead silent. These headphones are perfect as they are, but if you can afford it, go for a pair of Bose headphones with active noise cancelling. Just my suggestion. Tip: If you use these headphones for mixing (which I'll update the sound comparison part of this review when I get my new DT770 Pro's), make sure to use the custom aux cable provided. This ensures there's no Bluetooth interference and you get the clearest sound quality. These aren't studio headphones, but if you want headphones to use in combination with studio monitors (as a reference listening device) or if you need a good pair of monitor headphones that can double as comfort/listening headphones, these work great.

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.

but it is nice to move around or take my headphones on and ...
I bought these headphones after doing a lot of research and debating between noise canceling headphones, wireless headphones, or both (there are not many options if you want both, and Bose does not make any that are both noise canceling and wireless) Ultimately, I decided to buy these because I figured the convenience of not having a cord would be worth it. I mainly use mine at work, so having wired headphones wouldn't be a deal breaker, but it is nice to move around or take my headphones on and off without hassle. Note that with the bluetooth, you do lose a little bit of sound quality. But they are definitely the best bluetooth headphones in terms of sound quality as far as I know, and still better than most other headphones I've used. These are super comfortable- I can wear them for long periods of time without any issues. They can get a little warm, but that's to be expected with any around ear headphone, and it isn't that bad. A lot of similar headphones I tried were not nearly as comfortable, even for short periods of time, so the fact that these were super comfortable was a huge plus for me. The one area these can be improved is noise isolation– I get that they aren't noise canceling, but in my opinion, they don't even block out outside noise that well. If my music is loud enough, they can, but if it is even a little low (or I would say around the volume I normally have it at), I can hear conversations around me. Since finding noise canceling headphones that are also wireless is pretty hard, I think this it is a personal preference on what is more important. Since I can block out noise by turning up the volume a little (not at a deafening level by any means), I am generally fine with these but I do wish they filtered noise a bit more. The battery on these lasts a while (15 hours I think), and they charge up pretty quickly- you can even charge them for just 20 minutes and get a decent partial charge. One negative is that I don't think you can charge them while using them, and the charger it comes with is a USB cable so it needs to be plugged in to a computer. When I'm at my computer (i.e. when I would normally charge these), I usually also want to use them, so that is a drawback. Some other things: - the controls on the right ear are awesome and can be used to pause/play a song and fast forward and rewind (to either the next/previous song or within the current song). They work with iTunes out of the box, but I had to download something for them to work with Spotify on my Mac. I love these controls and use them often. -I initially had some weird issues/feedbck every time I went to a website that tried to access your microphone (such as Google which tried to do so for voice search). Switching my input microphone on my computer from the headphones to the built in mic fixed these - I didn't have issues with the skipping that a lot of people have reported but that could have been because I upgraded the software once I got my headphones - the phone quality is really good on these - I have used them for several phone interviews and they are great for that purpose

Strong Wireless Headphones with a Comfy Sound and Fit
If you're looking for pleasant-sounding, comfy, light wireless headphones with sensical playback and volume buttons, seriously consider Bose's Soundlink II around-ear headphones. Passive noise-cancellation on these things is fantastic. I haven't walked down a noisy street yet, but when I press play on any song at moderate volume, my environment (usually a busy home or talkative workplace) fades away. The volume gets loud enough when listening on Bluetooth, and although I've never personally wanted to go past it's max output, I'm sure there are some headbangers out there who would want a little more volume out of these things. Sound performance is gonna depend on your personal preference, but I like the balanced, detailed, open-air feeling of my music on these cans. Highs and mids come through clear to my ears, and in my opinion, these things excel with vocals. The bass is probably the most polarizing aspect of the sound signature: it's full and present, but you don't "feel it" the same way other headphones *cough* Beats *cough* deliver. The trade-off here is that it doesn't overpower anything, so vocals don't get washed out when the bass drops. On some tracks I wish the bass were a bit more powerful, but I still think they're on par with other wired headphones priced around $200 (and if you really miss the detail of wired sound, there's an included 3.5 mm cable). I listen mostly to alternative which employs a wide array of instruments, and I think these deliver consistently clear, strong sound across the genre. In terms of battery life, I've only charged them once in the 3 weeks I've had them, so I'm led to believe the advertised 15 hours of listening at moderate volume. The headphones themselves were smaller than I was expecting when I opened the box. They're unexpectedly light, but still feel sturdy, and it can be easy to forget they're on when you're "in the zone." In fact, that's one of the best features: these things are comfy, and they don't heat up my ears like how other leather ear cups do. The black version I have is low profile because it's all a matte finish instead of gloss, meaning people on the street won't point and yell at you, "Hey everyone, they have Bose headphones!" In other words, if you're a show-off, look elsewhere. Some people might not like the button design, but after a week, it feels more or less natural to navigate. Three small buttons, one of them depressed for feel-only operation, on the back of the right earcup control volume and playback (pause, skip, rewind, Siri) the same way Apple earphones do, and the microphones on here are entirely capable of handling phone calls. Bluetooth performance is pretty excellent, and even though it's not perfect (it'll skip when I leave the audio source and go behind a wall 20 feet away), it works well for my listening purposes. Pairing to my phone and computer was easy as could be, and everytime I turn the headphones on, my device identifies and connects within 5 seconds. Easy peasy lemon-squeezy. Lastly, the overall value: I paid $230 for the headphones on sale, and even for a college student looking to "treat myself," it's a pretty hefty investment. I can't say yet if I've gotten my money's worth, but these headphones are definitely on track to prove themselves worthy. From the reviews I've read of other Bose products, I'm expecting quite a few more years of solid performance from these cans, and right now, they seem entirely up to that task.

Lightweight, exceptionally comfortable with high-quality sound!
These headphones allow you to connect to more than one device at a time and switch back for forth between them. To my ear, these produce very a clean sound with plenty of bass (for me, anyway) and a bit of crispness that pleases me. Clearly we do not all have the same taste in music and I am not a hip hop fan. I listen to jazz, classical, Motown, Blues and some classic rock. To my taste, these are the best sounding Bluetooth headphones I've ever experienced. There are many complaints about the material holding up over time and I cannot speak to that... yet. Right out of the box and on my head... awesome. Also, I have used them for phone calls and the noise cancelation is really good. I called my wife from my office with jazz music playing in the background, a fan about 18 inches away and an air conditioner running and she was not conscious of any background sound until I asked her. She could barely discern a background hum which, by process of elimination, was determined to be the A/C unit. Fan made no impact at all and music seemed to fade in and out and was completely not an issue. My voice was clear with all three background sounds in my environment and the sounds were very faint and not distracting or even noticed until asked. With a 15-hour charge, this will see me through even very long flights and there is a wire which works beautifully when the battery does go out. Delivers equal quality sound, to my ear. Okay, the case is very nice too. I got the white model and paid $159.00. I feel this is a value for the sound and quality.

really nice headphones!!
i bought these thinking they had a noise cancelling feature, but they don't. oops, that's my bad. they dampen but don't cancel. but for me, this actually worked out fine! i wanted them for a red-eye because i realized that the noise is what makes it so hard for me to sleep. these block out just enough sound to make the general sounds of a plan a low hum. they made me realize how loud planes really are, actually. i wasn't surprised that i couldn't sleep anyway, but these still made a huge difference. 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.

Durable and Great Sound Quality
I bought these headphones 5 years ago primarily to use at the gym, but I've found myself using them for much more. They stay in place while running/lifting and can handle sweat. I insist on using them when listening to a new album so I can get the fullest sound and hear every detail. I also like the noise isolation, as I can still hear some of my surroundings if needed. Battery life is great, call quality is great, sound quality is great but not super heavy on bass. After 5 years of regular use, they're only showing some slight fraying on the earphone padding material. They're comfortable, not bulky, look sleek, and I love the carrying case. I'm planning on upgrading to noise cancelling headphones mostly for plane rides, as these headphones don't filter out all of the loud hum of the plane. I do plan to stick with Bose for my next purchase based on their high quality. I believe this is the first Amazon review I've ever written, but I'm passionate enough about these headphones to make sure others know that these satisfied everything I was looking for!

Excellent comfort, great sound. Worth every penny, for sure a buy.
I can't lie: I absolutely love these headphones. They fit perfectly and it almost feels like I'm not wearing anything - especially compared to my last pair of over-the-ear headphones. The sound is crisp and clear, though don't get me wrong, it's not full of bass. If you're looking for a lot of bass, do not go for these. Volume is not a problem, I'm not deaf and I'm not trying to become deaf so the volume is loud enough as it is and turning it up isn't a problem for me as some other people have stated. Call quality is also excellent - I took a 20 minute phone call with my dad today and there were times he thought that I'd hung up because I'd gone completely silent (he also said when I spoke the quality of my voice was great). The audio cues are also nice, I pick them up from my desk, turn them on and it tells me the battery level and what devices I'm connected to. Don't listen to people that whine about wireless connectivity issues. Having my Macbook at the back of my room (farthest side of the house), I was able to go to every room in my top floor and notice little to no distortion or disconnection in my music. This means if you have a fairly open main floor and you want to pop these on with your device in the center of the area and do some cleaning, have at it. They'll stay connected and clear. The case for the headphones fits them snug and doesn't take up much extra room. On the inside it comes with a little pouch which fits the audio connector cable and the charging cable. It's a sturdy case that could be put in a bag and you wouldn't have to worry about it too much as long as you're not whipping your bag around the room. If there's any downside to these, it's that they feel a little "boomy". I'm not sure exactly how to describe this (though I'll try my best), it may just annoy me because it's always been a headphone pet peeve of mine. When they are on, they completely seal your ears, blocking out sound around you (not all of it, though a considerable amount). This results in tapping on the headphones or even just walking to result in a slight "booming" sound coming from them. If you want to know exactly what I mean get a generic pair of rubber earbuds that go right inside your ear and tap outside of them. You'll hear this sound because they're so tight to your ear. It's really not that big a deal though if you're fairly stationary/static.

Sehr Tricky - Dynamischer Klang trifft auf leichte Bauweise mit hervorragendem Tragekomfort
Ich rolle mit das Feld mal von hinten auf, damit die "Lesefaulen" unter uns - kein "Augen-Tourette-Syndrom" erleiden müssen. Der Bose SoundLink around-ear kabellose Kopfhörer II bietet das was ich persönlich das "Rundum Sorglos Paket" nenne. Er bietet neben den meist gewohnten klassischen Bose Klang - "Neutral, dynamisch und dennoch immer sehr präsent", einen exzellenten Tragekomfort (auch für größere Köpfe) sowie ein klasse Pairingverhalten sowohl über Smartphone (Android) oder via Bluetooth Adapter am PC. Klang ist natürlich subjektiv, daran ändert auch ein Markenname nicht das geringste aber für mich gibt es hier Nichts, was ich beim Anhören von Rock, Hardrock, Jazz oder Pop vermissen würde. Verbindung/Pairing: Dafür, dass der Bluetooth Standard schon vor 5-6 Jahren bereits mehrfach für Tot erklärt wurde, meldete er sich im Jahre 2015 erneut in Form eines durchaus kompatiblen und recht anspruchsvollen Gadget für Version 3.0 zurück. Die hier von Bose entwickelten KH gaben und geben noch immer Anlass zur Hoffnung, dass dies auch noch für viele Jahre so bleiben wird! Das Pairing erfolgt nach Erstinbetriebnahme gleich nach dem Einschalten des Kopfhörers. Der Pairingbetrieb startet sofort nach dem Einschalten des AE2 an und man braucht lediglich noch über das Smartphone oder das gewünschte Abspielendgerät den Kopfhörer auswählen und kann sogleich, da er vorgeladen angeliefert wird mit dem „Hörtest“ beginnen. Hier sei noch erwähnt, dass über den Kopfhörer auch mehrere Geräte ein- bzw. abgespeichert werden können – wer's braucht!? Zu empfehlen ist hier die Bose Connect App. Verbindungsabbrüche gab es bisher nicht einen einzigen. Maximale Reichweite sind die üblichen +/- 10 Meter. Optik/Haptik: Auffallend ist beim Auspacken der Kopfhörer das enorm geringe Gewicht. Sie wiegen fast nichts und der Blick auf die Briefwaage verrät, dass es auch „fast“ so ist, lediglich ca. 200 Gramm hat das vom Styling her, eher puristisch und sehr Kunststofflastig konzipierte Headset zu bieten. Die Qualität erscheint trotz des massiven Plastikeinsatzes sehr variabel, gut und robust. Der Schwarz-grau-blauton auf dem Kunststoffgehäuse ist ebenfalls sehr schön gewählt. Insgesamt ein sehr guter erster Eindruck, Die sehr üppigen aus Proteinleder bestehenden Lauschern bieten mit den Maßen von ca. 6,5 cm x 4.5 cm bieten ausreichend Platz und die Ohren fangen hierin auch nicht sonderlich schnell an zu schwitzen - selbst wenn es mal "heißer" hergeht. Bei meiner Murmel passen sie sehr gut drüber, und geben vom Tragegefühl einen exzellenten Over Ear Kopfhörer ab. Somit wären wir beim Tragekomfort des kleinen KH angelangt. Dadurch, dass man sich die Mühe machte am Kopfbügel/Kopfband ebenfalls eine dünne Polsterung aufzutragen kann (M)ann auch bei „oben ohne“ Frisuren rvon einem angenehmen Traggefühl ausgehen. Auch dies ist ein Garant, gerade beim Dauerbetrieb, welcher ja von Bose auch immer kräftig beworben wird, dass auch nach mehreren Stunden richtiges „Wohlfühlen“ aufkommt oder man von einem sehr natürlichen Tragegefühl sprechen kann. Der Seitenandruck de Lauscher auf den Ohren ist absolut gut austariert. Nicht zu viel und dennoch ganz nah dran...! Hier haben meine Ohren eine echte Chance in den Lauscher „einzutauchen“ und der Druck sich auf den Kopf verteilt und nicht primär auf den Ohren selber lastet! Prima gelöst! Bedienung/Technik: Die Kopfhörer werden wie bereits erwähnt innerhalb weniger Augenblicke beim Pairing mit dem Smartphone erkannt und können da sie durch den Hersteller vorgeladen wurden sogleich ausgetestet werden. Hier meldet eine stoische Frauenstimme die „Klarmeldung“. Getestet wurde der Kopfhörer bei mir zunächst mittels Zenfone Max (Androidgerät). Was mir hierbei sehr gut gefällt ist die Tatsache, dass sich die an der Unterkante befindlichen Regler für Lautstärke und Skipping auch beim Tragen kinderleicht benutzen lassen. Wer am Kopfhörer einen AUX Anschluss sucht, findet diesen auf dem linken Lauscher. Klang(erlebnis): Der Klang vom Smartphone auf die Kopfhörer ist meiner Meinung nach in Schulnoten in gut+ bis sehr gut einzustufen. Die Mitten und Höhen klingen meiner Meinung nach am besten. Die Bässe sind je nach persönlicher Vorliebe ein Ärgernis wenn man nicht „High End“ einkauft (gerade OverEar's…), diesen hier würde ich absolut zugestehen, in der Preisklasse absolut im obersten Drittel mitspielen zu dürfen. Ich habe ein paar ordentliche Rock- und Indie Songs auf dem Smartphone laufen lassen und bin sehr angetan. Fachleute sprechen hier gerne von Klangneutralität, wenn jemand etwas mit dem Begriff anfangen kann, diese Neutralität würde ich ebenfalls attestieren. Ich könnte aber auch sagen, dass die Musik genauso rüberkommt, wie sie vom Endgerät wiedergeben wird bzw. die Musikstücke/Tracks auch abgemischt wurden. Das macht den KH für mich zu einem KH der Studioaufnahmen und Livemusik gleichwertig gut wiedergibt. Ein Allround Kopfhörer quasi! Die Ladezeit beträgt bei komplett entladenem Zustand der Kopfhörer ca. 3 Stunden. Im Dauerbetrieb halt der voll aufgeladene Akku ca. 15 Stunden. Schon eine kurze Ladung hilft dem KH wieder auf die Beine. 15-20 Minuten reichen wieder für die nächsten 2 Stunden - 2,5 Stunden. Dadurch, dass die Kopfhörer bequem über den Ohren aufgesetzt werden sitzen sie bei normalen Aktivitäten wie Spaziergang, Hausarbeit, einfach Chillen etc. sehr stabil am Ohr und drücken diese nicht ein. Die Polsterung der Lauscher gefallen ohne Einschränkung ebenfalls sehr gut, da sie ein angenehmes Tragegefühl vermitteln. Dies gilt auch für Menschen mit „großem Kopfumfang“. Ich verspüre im Vergleich zu meinen Sony MDR-ZX330BT Kopfhörer auch nach vielen Stunden kein unangenehmes Andruckgefühl auf den Ohren, was mich bei den Sony's schon mal dazu verleitet immer mal wieder kurz den Lauscher vom Ohr abzuheben. Außengeräusche werden durch die komplett Ohrumschließende Bauweise des Kopfhörers sehr gut abgehalten und bieten einen Hauch von passivem Noise Cancelling. Zertifizierungen: Die üblichen teilweise freiwilligen Zertifizierungen von RoHS, FC etc. siucht man hier vergebens. Lediglich CE wurden dem Kopfhörer attestiert. Hergestellt wird der Kopfhörer im Übrigen wie mittlerweile ca. 90 % aller Waren in China. Fazit: Sehr einfache aber klanglich absolut ansprechende Bluetoothkopfhörer welche mit TriPort- und Active EQ-Technologie, Bluetooth 3.0, die mit guter Akkuleistung und stabiler Verarbeitung, aufwarten können! Ich habe schon viele Kopfhörer in meiner Sammlung und teilweise war es echt eine Frechheit, was selbst bei teuren Markengeräten für ein „lascher“ Klang mitgeliefert wurde, das macht den Kopfhörer hier zu einer echten Klanggranate, wenn man unverfälschten Tönen lauschen mag. Für mich persönlich ist der Andruck auf den Ohren der „OverEar“ genial, was für mich das Tragen auf längere Zeit ohne Probleme möglich macht. Klang Treiber: sehr gut geraten „Neutrale und dynamische Wiedergabe (auch bei leiser Abspielung) Material: Leicht und Plastiklastig Bluetooth : Stabil und sicher (App ist zu empfehlen) Tragekomfort: auf Dauer absolut angenehm Zubehör: sehr überschaubar Meine persönliche Wertung :5 von 5 Sternen Ich hoffe, ich konnte mit meiner Beschreibung die Entscheidung für den Kauf oder eben den Nichtkauf etwas vereinfachen!? Wie eingangs bereits erwähnt ist Klang immer rein subjektiver Natur - aber ich denke der SoundLink around-ear kabellose Kopfhörer II dürfte trotzdem ein Höchstmaß an Gefallen finden. **Update: 30.August 2018** ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nach fast einem Jahr und fast täglicher Nutzung kann ich immer noch absolut zu meiner Bewertung aus dem letzten Jahr stehen. Ich bin sowohl mit der Verarbeitung als auch mit dem Klangbild der SoundLink Kopfhörer immer noch absolut zufrieden. Der Preis der Kopfhörer ist über das letzte Jahr immer noch konstant bei ca. 180 Euro geblieben, ich denke nach wie vor das diese gut investiertes Geld sind und Bose hiermit in dieser Preisklasse für mich persönlich einen Referenzkopfhörer geschaffen haben, der erstmal übertroffen werden muss. Update: 01.12.2021 Nachdem mir der Kopfhörer nun 3,5 Jahre treue Dienste geleistet hat, habe ich mich im Zuge der diesjährigen Black Friday Woche dazu entschlossen mir nochmal ein neues Paar zuzulegen.

Wireless Freedom, Great Sound!
Wow these are amazing! Super comfortable, so easy to setup and connect devices. Being able to connect to multiply devices is nice and once paired it connects very quickly. The range is huge, I can walk from one end of my house to the other and still get a perfect signal. For me the 10M range is real, unlike some devices.. The audio suffers because it is bluetooth, one day wireless headphones will be just as good but that is not true for now. That said these headphones sound really good to my ears, a very flat sound curve. It doesn't have big bass but voices and ambient noises sound very natural, If you listen to vocal based music and movies a lot then you should like these. If you like RnB or big loud action movies then I would advise against these.
