Bose SoundLink Around Ear Wireless Headphones II - Black

I bought these headphones two months ago and I am so happy that I did! They are expensive but they are worth it. Very lightweight and the sound is off the charts. I tried a lot of headphones before buying these and none of them came close to the sound and comfort of these.

Best headphones used to date. Excellent sound with a good distribution of the sound between right and left.

after many .. skullcandy, beats and few germans finally - Bose ! it was n't a blast on Bass. but the experience , after owning one was Great.! Travelling overseas ,, i am sure it will be a permanent companion

The sound quality of the headset is unmatched. The blue tooth features are great as well. However the foam pieces come unglued and fray fairly quickly.

Always have loved Bose , but having these less than 2 yrs and the ear piece cushions are ragged and have fallen to pieces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these in Gatwick Duty-Free. Sound is awesome. Great for travelling and so comfortable. The only issue I have is that the Rubber that surrounds the Headphones is starting to look like it's stretching/coming loose. Did not expect this on such a premium product. Would happily give five Stars if it wasn't for this

Got Bose ServiceSoundLink 2 headphones as a gift 18 months ago. While the sound is decent and not with the over the top bass, I am extremely disappointed with the build quality. The faux leather over the ear cups and head band is disintegrating. The material is basically falling apart as flakes and the headphones have become an embarrassment to wear in public! The product was barely used and that too always indoor.

I bought this product a year ago, it working perfectly fine and sound quality is great but the build quality is very poor. In just one year ear cushion is completely destroyed. The replacement ear cushion are costly and there is no replacement available for headband cushion. I would not recommend buying this due to bad build quality and heavy maintenance cost.

The sound quality and performance are what you'd expect from a Bose product excellent. Unfortunately poor design / construction means the rubber surrounds on the cans will delaminate around the year mark. This happened to 2 successive pairs - not good enough for a Bose product. The first time Bose replaced them. But the second time it occurred just outside the warranty so I was left with a tatty pair of £200+ headphones with plastic hanging off them. Avoid.
