The difference between hearing bass and feeling thunder starts the moment you add this wireless bass module to the SoundTouch 300 soundbar. QuietPort™ technology and a highly advanced DSP virtually eliminates distortion and delivers surprisingly deep and clean sound from something so small.

...And looks GREAT doing it
I have been using the SoundTouch 300 sound bar for about a month or so, and I am completely and totally in love with it. I really didn't think it could get any better until I added this little beauty.
First things first, this is a solid unit. You can really feel the quality in both this, and the sound bar, but this has some serious weight to it, like a good sub should. Once I got it out of the box, I was so excited to get it hooked up. I plugged in it, and fired up AdaptIQ on my SoundTouch 300. I was paired, and up and running in under 30 minutes from opening the box to completing AdaptIQ.
I put on a few movie trailers, cranked up the volume and sat back. The first explosion hit, and *woah!!! - the floor is shaking. The next one hits, and holy cow, I'm immersed in the middle of the action. Not only does this deliver a depth to your music and movies that you can hear, but it brings another dimension that you can actually feel. When a door closes, there's a (the only way I can describe this sound..) "whump" as if you were right there in the room and you can feel the air moved by the door swinging shut. When a helicopter is flying around, you can feel the blades chopping at the air and it resonates so well.
This unit blends in great with every day sounds. It doesn't over power things, and only comes out to play when called upon. When it is called upon, though, it's a heavy-hitter. I have never experienced an Acoustimass module with this kind of dynamic range. All without an ounce of distortion. It has to be heard to be believed.
I can not say enough good things about this. It's absolutely deeper, smoother, an
more powerful than you can ever imagine. Music is stellar, too. Kick drums you can feel in your chest, bass that feels like you're in a club or concert, etc.. My family isn't as passionate as I am about sound equipment, and even they don't want to stop listening to this sound bar since I added the Acoustimass 300. Well done, Bose. Well done!

The SoundTouch® 300 soundbar looks slim. But the sound? Anything but. That’s because every cubic inch of it is packed with technologies that make everything you listen to or watch sound clear and spacious. It starts inside with custom-shaped speakers that keep the profile low and pump out big sound. QuietPort™ technology virtually eliminates distortion so you hear surprisingly deep bass. And Bose® PhaseGuide® technology makes you believe you’re hearing sounds where there are no speakers. On the outside, the glass top and perforated wrap-around metal grille make the soundbar look as good in your room as it sounds. And with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® technology built in, you can wirelessly stream music any way you prefer. ADAPTiQ® audio room calibration from Bose ensures the soundbar sounds the best it can in the space you put it. HDMI™ connectivity with 4K pass-through keeps your system compatible with the most current technology. NFC provides quick and easy pairing. The SoundTouch® app gives you simple control over your favorite music. Works together with other SoundTouch® speakers so as you go from room to room, your music goes along with you. Includes a universal remote so you can control your other devices, too. Available in Black

Let me start off my saying that I'm a fan of all things Bose. Every piece of audio equipment I own is Bose, and I find it hard to stray to anything else. This product is absolutely no exception.
I'm coming from a Cinemate 1SR - which was, and still is one of the most fantastic sound bars I have ever listened to or owned. The SoundTouch 300 exceeds the performance of the 1SR, even without the need of an added Acoustimass module. There is deep, deep bass coming out of that tiny, slim sound bar. I hope I am able to get the wireless subwoofer to get the full experience one of these days soon. I don't yet have the wireless surrounds, but this does a wonderful job of throwing sound all over the room, even without them.
Simply put, this one single piece of the puzzle will amaze you. The vocals are so crystal clear, and the music is so amazingly present, that it genuinely feels as if you're sitting in a full sized movie theater. Acoustic guitars sound so bright and open that you can hear the contact of the pick on the strings. Drums have a dynamic, resonating sound that can't be described, it has to be experienced to be believed.
Overall, this product is a HUGE win. The only down side is that it was a bit time consuming to get up and running on my WiFi, but once I got the app installed on my iPad, it was a breeze. I would highly, highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for home theater sound in a sophisticated, elegant package, without having to wire everything all over your living room. A++

I can't believe how great these are. I know they're expensive, but they are worth every penny. When I first got them, I had a couple of people try and locate the subwoofer while I played music. These little (comparatively, given their sound) speakers are amazing. I can't say it enough. I'm a long time Bose customer, and these may be my favorite all around product I've ever owned of theirs.

Crush ice and prepare delicious smoothies with the Braun PureMix jug blender. It has a 56-ounce capacity for making large batches of drinks, soups or salsa, and the four functions give you more control over the blending process. The Braun PureMix jug blender also has a Smooth Crush system for a consistent texture in all your blended drinks.

This blender is great! I've been using it every morning to make smoothies. It makes short work of anything we can throw at it. It's amazing how this can turn skim milk protein powder, ice and frozen fruits into a smooth, creamy treat that tastes like it came from a major chain smoothie place.
I've been using a bullet-style Ninja up until now, and it always leaves chunks and puts a lot of air into the drinks. I'm glad I got this one - it's a much, much better blender. It's very easy to clean, but be careful, those blades are SHARP.
I have yet to try mixing anything hot, but this seems like it will power through souls and sources with ease.
I also like the way it looks. It is a sleek, upscale looking blender with green LED lights on the black base. It is very futuristic and modern. My only wish is that it had a glass pitcher because I feel that keeps the smoothies colder while mixing, but it's honestly a very minor wish.
Highly recommend this - it would make a great wedding or housewarming gift. The recipient is sure to love it.

QuietComfort® 35 wireless noise cancelling headphones are engineered with world-class noise cancellation that makes quiet sound quieter and music sound better. Free yourself from wires and connect easily to your devices with Bluetooth® and NFC pairing. And enjoy up to 20 hours of wireless listening per battery charge.
Posted by: JoshW41

I can't NOT believe how incredibly awesome these headphones are.
Full disclosure, I am a Bose FANATIC. I absolutely love their products, and absolutely everything I own for sound is Bose. I've used their noise canceling headphones since the QC15, and bought the QC25 upon release. The QC25 have been the best headphones I've ever owned. Until now.
I have had these since their release and I have used them for absolutely everything. They take the QC25 up an ever so slight notch in every category. The sound on these things is absolutely mind blowing - the Active EQ brings out the smooth, plentiful bass. It's just enough to bring out the emotion in your music, but it doesn't rattle your head like some others do.
Sometimes I sit at my desk without music, just enjoying the quiet these provide. If you're stuck between these and any other model, I'd highly recommend these. I didn't think I'd be as dependent on Bluetooth headphones as I am, but these are stellar. I can put music on my MacBook and walk around the office without even thinking about it. These are perfect for mowing the lawn, working out, or just sitting and watching TV/Movies on your tablet/phone or streaming TV device. I can't wait to take them on a flight to enjoy wireless freedom combined with the best Noise cancelation in the business. These really are a #gamechanger.

I was disappointed when Apple stopped making the leather smart covers for this generation, but once i realized how much protection this provides for the back, I was sold.
Even with the smart case, the size and weight are still less than the previous full sized iPad. I'm very happy with it.

Enjoy spacious home theater performance from one visible speaker and a wireless Acoustimass® module. And whether you place this soundbar on a table or wall-mount it, Flexmount™ automatic placement compensation technology lets you experience room-filling sound. ADAPTiQ® audio calibration system customizes the sound to fit your room. Universal remote control simplifies operation of HDTV and attached sources, such as a Blu-ray Disc player or cable/satellite box. Many Best Buy stores now feature an interactive Bose® display that demonstrates how this slim and stylish speaker can provide such wide, spacious sound. Look for this display.

I was interested to give this thing a shot when I found out that it uses the same technology as the Bose TV, but has an added Acoustimass Module.
When I brought it home, it took less than 20 minutes to get it all up and running, and another 10 to run the AdaptIQ setup. When it's going through that, you can really hear it throwing sound at the back wall and in the corners.
What's amazing to me is that, even sitting right next to it, you can't really tell the sound is coming from just that one bar - it's all around and it's amazing. NFL football games are astounding, and it feels like you're part of the crowd.
If you're in the market for a sound bar, and can swing the steep price tag, you will NOT be disappointed by this.

Bose® SoundLink® Mini Speaker: Enjoy full, robust sound anywhere you go with this speaker that features an ultracompact design for easy movement from room to room. Bluetooth technology allows you to wirelessly stream music and more from your compatible cell phone, audio player and more.

Type of Listener:Audiophile
Most Important to Purchase:Sound quality
How Often Used:Daily
I've had the full size Soundlink II for quite some time now, and I love it. I use it all the time, so when the Mini came out, I figured it was worth a listen. What I didn't know, was just how comparable in sound to the full sized unit it actually would be.
This thing is INCREDIBLE. While it doesn't get near as loud as the Soundlink II, and doesn't have the same amount of really low bass, when used in a smaller setting, I actually like it a little more. The Soundlink II, I use to fill my back yard with music, and this little thing will still fill my kitchen/living room/office area without hesitation.
I did a little experiment and placed it on my desk between my computer speakers and asked a few co-workers to listen to the music, and they thought it was coming from my Companion II's - That's how good this thing is. I'm REALLY happy with it, and it just drops into my bag without taking up much room at all.
What's great about it: Sound quality, size, durability
What's not so great: could use a speaker phone option, but that's not a big deal

I had purchased the Companion 2 Series II about 3 weeks ago, and I loved them. I thought they were perfect, and there was nothing I would change about them, until I heard the Series III.
You won't believe the sound difference. They are both fantastic speakers, but the Series III have a crystal clarity about them that is unmatched, and the bass response is incredible for such a small pair of speakers. The detail in these little bad boys is awesome. From every pluck of the guitar strings, to intricate cymbal work, these allow my music to shine.
I use them on my desk in my cubicle, and they are perfect at ANY volume. The best part is, the sound doesn't carry across the room/gets absorbed by the cube walls, so I can turn these up a little bit, and they make my day so much better.

Enjoy a fresh from the dentist clean every day when you use this rechargeable toothbrush that features a 2 minute Smartimer to ensure recommended brushing time.
Posted by: JoshW41
from Wadsworth, OH
I've had the entry level SonicCare toothbrush for some time, the one that takes the AA batteries. It was a great toothbrush, but I really wanted something a bit smaller with a rechargeable battery. I also thought that the higher models might have a bit stronger motor in them, and with the clean and white mode, I do believe that to be true.
I like how easy this model is to hold in your hand, and I really like the quad-timer. My mouth hasn't felt this clean in a while, and it seems to stay clean feeling all day. Very pleased with this purchase.

What's great about it: slim design, travels well, easy to hold, cleans very well
What's not so great: takes some getting used to the sensation, even compared to my old model

Which one is the better:Mixr or Quietconfort 15
Hello friends, then seguinte.Sou is passionate about electronic music Mainly trance.Porem Also would like a phone que isolace the sound to much as a earphone.Me said the mixr and better than the Bose in terms of the beat but in isolation is Bose the best. If you buy an executive? await return! Would not it be a case of buying an executive? await return!
The MIXR are really the only Beats that I was really wowed by. They are LOUD, and pump a lot of music out into your ears. I went with the QC15, however, due to the acoustic noise canceling, as well as the wonderful Bose sound. I listen to some electronic music, and they have the right amount of thump, and sound great.
Then, there's times when I just want to block out the world and not hear anything, and the QC15's are great for that, too.

Enjoy a combination of sweat- and weather-resistance, comfortably secure fit and Bose® quality sound. The exclusive Reebok armband holds your device securely in place. The in-line remote and microphone let you control select Apple® products.
will the armband fit an iphone 5
Indeed it will, provided you get one of the newer/updated models. I bought the blue SIE2i's, and it fits just fine.

Where are the specifications ?
Specifications for the Bose AE2, such as Hz TDH and dB, Impedance??
It's best to just listen to them and be your own judge. I don't know the specs, but these sing sweet music in my ears.

Carrying Case?
Is there any way to get the carrying case (that comes with the OE2s) instead of the drawstring one that normally comes with the AE2?
According to Bose, these will not fit in the carrying case for the QC15, but if you were to try one, that would be the place to start.
Surprisingly, I'm happy with my little drawstring bag.

Can the AE2 audio headphones be used to play a digital piano?
Provided the piano has a 1/8" output jack, or you have an adapter, I don't see why not. They're great headphones, especially for piano music, IMO.

What are the audio specs?
What are the audio specs, like what is its sound sensitivity range? For example I have a pair of ifrogz heaphones that have a sound range of 20Hz-20Khz & its has 40mm speakers. What do these headphones have?
The way I understand it, Bose never releases that information because they say it sways judgement. I tend to agree. Sure, I like to see specs on things, but my ears don't lie - these sound amazing.

If the AE2 cable can work with the AE2i headphones, will the AE2i cable work with AE2 headphones?
Yes. In fact, when I bought my AE2's, I wanted them in white, and they were out of stock on the white AE2i, so I simply called Bose and asked if there was a cable with a mic for the AE2 in white, and $30 later, it was on it's way to me with free shipping.
I use them to talk on the phone all the time, and it works well.

How is the sound isolation?
I need know how is the sound isolation of this Bose.I think change my earphone for this bose,but first i need know de sound isolation kkk someone know?
The sound isolation is pretty good, for non-active noise canceling head phones. Once I put them on, I reach that balance of music and outside noise, where I can't hear anything except what's in the headphones, and it's really nice.

With an 8,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and up to 250 cd/m² brightness, this Dell S2340M LED HD monitor displays crisp, brilliant visuals. The tilt function allows you to easily adjust the viewing angles to suit your preferences.
Why my two Dell S2340M monitors go blue intermitently when used on a Mac Mini server?
I have my 2011 Mac Mini Lion Server connected with mini DisplayPort to DVI and HDMI to DVI adapters to two Dell S2340M monitors I purchased at BestBuy in January 2013. Even if I'm using the Mac Mini the monitors suddenly go into a blue screen and then into sleep mode. It takes a while to "wake them up" and then go blue and sleep mode again. Is there a fix to this problem?
I've got a similar problem, and I've searched for answers. The only thing I've got from it, so far, is that Apple is just really not on top of it when it comes to dual displays.
It got so bad for a while there, I was ready to disconnect the 2nd monitor and go down to just 1.
