I had been debating between these OE (On Ear) and the Bose AE (Around Ear) headphones for a while and decided on the OE when I came across a deal I could not pass up. I am not an audiophile but, to me, the crisp and clear sound delivered by these cans is simply fantastic, especially if your taste in music is all over the boards. If you prefer a much stronger bass, these may not be your primary choice, as they are mid based, allowing you to thoroughly enjoy pretty much all genres of music available. For me, when you couple great sound with a very comfortable and good-looking design you have a winner and these are just that. I rarely notice that I am wearing them, even after several hours. While these are not sound suppression headphones, that is not what I was looking for. If you need that feature, check out the Bose® AE2 as there is not much sound leakage with those, or the more expensive noise cancelling Bose QC (QuietComfort®). Back to the OE, aside from the great sound and comfort, I really like the Boise case that is supplied, as it makes for no worry travel. It is a semi-hard, zippered, case, molded on the inside specifically for these headphones and cords, thus providing great protection for your investment. For sound, comfort and design I rate them as 5 stars ... I am a very happy camper. As a note, if you need a longer cord to enjoy your sound, be sure to check out the Bose 20' extension cable.Read full review
After finding my Bose Headphones in the backyard because our little puppy dragged them out there and decide to eat the foam I almost threw them away...but put the damaged headphones in a drawer and years later found them and decided to see if I could salvage them - for a few dollars i was able to order replacement parts and my $300 headphones are golden! Fast shipment!

I love them they cut out everything all background noise, except for human voices so if your a mother trying to block your kids out it won't do it. Very comfortable, good power and the best thing is the volume dose not need to be more than 25% because ithey are so clear and no background noise at all! I have problems with other headphones; in ear, on ear, and over ear they tend to make me ears hurt but these I can ewear all day no problems just fantastic well worth every penny!
This was just what I was looking for. Actually, they are the same model headphones I was trying to replace. I like Bose products, been using them for years. However, as much as I like them, I do have issues with their quality control. I am very satisfied with this purchase. This was a very good deal. Thank You Very Much!!

I own three sets of these. I had a set of Koss Portra Pro headphones that had one of the drivers go out. So in looking for another pair I came across these. After getting them I was disappointed in the bass response. But with a little meddling I removed the small round "filters" at the bottom of the headphones and Bam, the bass is great. So I now own three pair and bought another for a friend. My only complaint is the cable is too long so I doubled it up with two small wire ties and all is good. Cheap used too. The pads are replaceable too so one can make them like new. Would buy again.

Can't find these anywhere - not even at Bose. Price not bad. Cords work well - so far. Tight fit in earphones. Gave it 4 stars because kids are hard on cords - so we will see. Would buy again.

This is the 3rd pair I have owned over the years and I love them. They are lightweight and easy to use. The sound quality is also excellent

These are BOSE top of the line (on-ear) headphones. Women seem to like them because the don't smash down their hair like the over-ear headphones do. They are smaller than the QC2 and QC15's, take less room in your travel bag. Jury is out on the rechargable battery, kind of hard to do on an airplane, it's easy to just pop-in a AAA battery on the QC2 and QC15's.
So far, quality seems to be adequate the price. Cable is much thicker and stiffer (which isn't very good) than the original. May last longer though.
