These headphones were a disappointment in one respect -- when you are walking and talking it amplifies background noises so much that it drowns out your voice for the person at the other end! I used to own an earlier version of these headphones -- had them for years -- and never experienced the same issue. So they are great for noise cancellation and listening to music, etc., but you cannot use them to have conversations in public spaces, take meetings on the run, etc. So the upgrade did not really work for me. I am still keeping them, but just need to now carry a wired hands-free pair with me as well in case I need to take calls while I am outdoors. I'm really hoping they can fix this with a software update soon.

I purchased these recently while recovering from a severe sinus/ear infection in which I suffered hearing loss. These through the Bluetooth hook up allowed me to adjust my volume up while the rest could listen to the TV volume at normal levels.
I have always used , and loved, Bose products. My Bose glasses changed my life and practice. However, the QuietComfort headphones, which I use when I want total immersion are amazing. Bose has the best sound on the planet. I wouldn't wear anything else. (But, I still love my Bose glasses, which I wear all day every day.)
Noise canceling is wonderful. My older generation Bose headphones don’t cancel as much noise as my new ones. I hear my Roomba as a very low purr when it’s time to vacuum. Will be a godsend during summer - I work from home and they cancel grandkid noise very nicely.
I bought this headphones about 1 month ago and still standing in a good shape, when I first tried them I was left gasping, surprised how great these headphones sound and how great the bass is especially how extremely comfortable they fit on my head and covering my ears. Greatest purchase I made and they much better then the $500 Apple headphones and Beats studios. Went ahead and bought 2 more for my siblings.
