Overall a good headphone. Sound quality is ok thru Bluetooth connections, but not experienced quality and the sound of all instruments. Little over weight to use it for few hours and felt much pressure on ears. Same time, it is connecting to many Bluetooth devices with annoying announcements.

Bought mine two weeks ago and have been enjoying them so much. As usual, the sound quality is exquisite. Only thing I would change is to provide a longer charging cable.
I bought my first pair back in December 2016. I’m a long haul trucker, I use them hard. 8 to 10 hours a day 6 days a week. My first pair refused to quit, I replaced the ear pads about 4 times. Finally the first pair gave in, and quit. This is my second pair, works just as great as the first.
After sampling a slew of sub-$100 headphones with good reviews, I scored these Bose for $225. Exactly what I wanted: balanced musical sound (no boomy bass) and ease of use. Comfortable. Nice case.
