I purchased these headphones just over a year ago and was initially impressed by the sound. I didn’t end up using them that often as I found them to be hot and not breathable. After a year of light use (maybe a dozen times), the ear pads were wearing out and Bose refused to replace them. I continue to reach for my earbuds as they are more comfortable and durable.

I bought these had them shipped to me about a month ago. Absolutely love them! The sound quality is absolutely amazing! I use them everyday to practice bass. I love that as soon as you put them on, hit the power button, they quickly drown out all other background noise in the room. It allows me to lock in during my online classes. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to make background noise sound like quiet whispers. It allows you to lock in and clearly hear what you TRULY WANT TO HEAR!
Although they are decent, unfortunately they have not lived up to what you would expect from Bose. Clarity is not that great, bass is okay among other things, my Samsung earpods pro give them a run for their money. I prefer over ear headphones, that's the only reason why I haven't used my Samsung earpods. In my opinion they're just over priced headphones.
